I am going through and watching these videos. There is a quite a bit of repeat information. I get that each video may have something said or shown a little bit differently, and that may spark someone understanding something I also get there may be a little something extra in an older video, and not wanting someone to miss out on that. Redoing everything would be tasking. So, all the videos are included. It would be much better though if things were combined and condensed into what Chuck only feels needs to be heard. This as to not spend so much time watching/listening to the same information. (I had also seen a comment left talking about this in 2019. A response was left that the site was going to be redone.)
It also seems that over time, some of his opinions have changed. There is some contradiction in the videos. In older videos he speaks about how you shouldnt swing back with the left arm. That the right arm should be doing most of the work in the back swing. He adamantly states that the swing plane should not be created by the left arm swinging the club back. Then later in another video about "The Big Picture of the Golf Swing", he says the problem with the golf swing is that we swing the club back with the right arm. That it should be done with the left arm. I get that over the years someone finds a better way to do things. However, when you spend however much time practicing Five minutes to the perfect setup, takeaway, and backswing... Then come across a video saying to swing back with the left arm. Its like what did I just spend my time doing?
There is a lot of good information here. However, a big part of paying for basically a "how to" is having defined information in how to do everything. He speaks of how a lot of the information we have gotten is a waste of time, and we are getting a guide to doing things the right way. I am listening to all the videos; spending the time remembering the information like it is exactly what I need to do. Then the information changes. It makes you feel like you are just doing the same thing you have done for years.
Also, feedback on the axiom movement. When I originally heard it, I thought it was great. I still think it is a good idea/mental cue to get someone not to have a stop and go feeling in the back swing. Yet, it wasnt the end all, be all; I was wanting it to be. The first time using it, I found it made me sway. The idea of moving my weight around my foot. I immediately stopped moving around my foot. The mental cue is a good one, but I feel it needs to just be a very small pressure in the ground if used. I do remember him saying at some point that it is a small movement. He did say though to feel the movement in the outside of your right foot, and then moving around the heel to the inside. This is something after watching older videos, again is something that is a contradiction. He states multiple times that you should never let your weight get on the outside of your trail foot. If you've watched all the old videos prior to the axiom then maybe when he was saying to feel the weight go around the outside of your trail foot, you would think/assume he was just talking about initially when learning the movement. Then you would ask. However, I dont think a lot of people are going to get to the other videos for quite awhile.
I also think that you should have access to the short game information.
side note... I am so tired of hearing "over the top". Ha. This is probably also, cause I have struggled with this for the most part. And, thats all you hear!
