I have two questions for Chuck.

Andrew P ·
I have two questions for Chuck. The axiom drill is, to me, reminiscent of the Ernest Jones "Swing the Clubhead" method in that it emphasizes feel. What is your opinion of this method of teaching the swing, particularly for the numerous individuals who are fixated on the mechanics of the swing and can't get the actual feel of the swing? Also, with the post up part of the dead drill, why are you emphasizing stopping the hands at impact? For me, what this did was to make me try to stop my arms (and shoulders) and thus force my hands to release. This made me tense my arms and gave me elbow tendinitis. If I focus on swinging the arms naturally, they will have momentum and will not stop at the ball, even if I have no club in my hands. The axiom drill made me realize this. Andy

Hi Andrew, That's what AXIOM is all about...It's a movement created through feel which solves the biggest hurdle in golf instruction...using the lower body!!! With the feel of AXIOM you can load unload and post up properly with just one simple little movement through the foot. Stay tuned!!! We taught the dead drill for the first 5 sections to stop with the arms down in front of the trail thigh to prioritize the leg and hip movements. It's so easy for people to start moving from the arms and shoulders once they complete transition, they completely lose sight of driving the rest of the downward half with their legs and hips. Once we saw that you were prioritizing the legs and hips, we let you start releasing it right away.
