OK, I wasn’t going to write a review…but now I am. Quite honestly when Chuck first came out with Axiom to the Premium Test Club and I checked out the first couple of videos, my first thought was …Whaaatt? I’ve spent three years with Chris helping me get to my lead side and working to put a damper on right hand dominance and now The Mad Scientist is teaching right arm air guitar! I see what he’s saying but I’m still feeling like the drill sergeant just said “about face”. But then, like Forest Gump in the long-distance running scene I said, “Well, I’ve stuck with it this far. Might as well just turn around and go a little farther.” Clockwise on the right foot. Clockwise on right knee. Elvis pelvis right hip. Right knee/right toe stops the merry-go-round. A few times through the videos again, then some dry runs at home, time to go to the range today. Not much happening on first trials but stayed with concentrating on right foot move and some sense of clockwise with both arms and staying relaxed enough to let the lag happen. 8 iron, uncertain of distance but felt more shots being compressed to point where I decided to test a range of clubs: 5 iron, 21 hybrid, driver, and (shudder) sand wedge. Felt things taking some shape and becoming a little excited, but avoided the sand wedge. As Chris can tell you, I am a chronic flipper. The sand wedge flag on our range is about 85 from the mats. Most of the time no matter what I do I struggle to get 75 and pull to the left. Weak with the occasional open face S word. So now I’ve gone through my clubs and am looking at the sand wedge and it’s looking back at me. I almost didn’t try. First Axiom swing five yards over the top of the flag. Hmmm. Second the same. Really? I kept at it and the distance started to climb. It was Christmas morning! Tried backing off. Still was going 85. By the end I was 105 or more. If Axiom can heal my sand wedge it can do anything. I could get used to this. Hope I do.
