I am a "play-at-golf" golfer...at age 72, I play only Executive type (9 hole courses) in The Villages, FL, and have truly appreciated your instructional videos. My swing (takeaway, downswing, tilt angle, weight shift, lag, etc.) has improved tremendously, but I struggle desperately with consistency issues. Speed is not my nemesis, as I am not a long ball hitter and really don't care about 300 yard drives. My accuracy and consistency concerns are my biggest problems. I have investigated the single length iron philosophy and find it as technically accurate as the RST philosophy. My question is: Why are you guys SOOOO opposed to the "One Iron" single length clubs philosophies??

Hello George. I am happy to hear that our videos have helped you. We've talked about this on a lot of different forums. Basically, the clubs have to be matched perfectly to you and why give up on free speed. For every half inch is 2 MPH club head speed for free just because of the wider radius. Why work harder to produce the same result. Side note: what is your consistency issue?

Looking forward to working on this drill. I've read so many times that you're supposed to grip with last three fingers of lead hand and middle two of trail hand...and now Chuck explains why this logically accounts for optimizing speed by moving that hinge to take advantage of the full length of the club. I'm getting drunk on all of this knowledge.

Hello Thomas. Awesome. From personal experience it was a game changer for me.

Craig...I'm giddy with two more golf days to go this Labor Day weekend. I was holding off mentioning anything else before I got out away from my indoor mat and mirror and used this on the course today. Mind-blowing change in distance increase of 20+ yards with the long clubs and overall accuracy through the bag. My only misses were if I got excited and moved my head forward through the downswing and hooking it. This is an amazing lesson!!! !!! A 76 and with no birdies on the card...so that's a good and a bad thing but there's more out there. The greens were inconsistent between them speed-wise today ...so we were all scratching our heads.

Great Thomas. Thanks for sharing. I hope the rest of the weekend followed suit. Getting the scores down and adding distance is always fun!

First person I know that has helped me feel what a proper release feels like. I have always either flicked by forcing a release or hinged by pushing the right hand through. I just did about 10 reps and it feels great!!!

How much does finding the right shaft (flex & Low, Mid, or High flex point) impact the amount of speed that can be achieved? I'm 66 yrs of age and still using stiff shafts in all clubs. My driver club head speed is between 100 & 105 mph.

Craig (Certified RST Instructor)
Hello Steven. Making sure you have the proper shaft flex is very important when trying to optimize club head speed.
February 4, 2019
64x64
Steven
I fully understand that. My question was HOW to determine what shaft dynamics and flex are right for me?
February 4, 2019
64x64
Craig (Certified RST Instructor)
Hello Steven. You would need to see a proper club fitter and/or find a trackman device to get some numbers. Once, you have some data you would be able to figure out the best for your swing.

This is a great video and has helped me to understand the grip better as well. I am curious when this video was made because at 1:30 Chuck does comment on single length iron shafts not being feasible. Naturally that is a controversial issue with the success of DeChambeau on tour and how this will affect that technology in the future?

Craig (Certified RST Instructor)
Hello Steven. Glad you enjoyed the presentation. This video was made about 4 years ago. We still aren't a fan of single length irons. We've talked about this on numerous forum boards. But, the main point is more width gives you more speed. Why would we give up something that is totally free with incremental changes in the shaft.

I understand taking out thumb and forefinger to create speed as I practice these two drills and then go to hit balls how much do I use the thumb and forefinger in my regular swing

Hello Paul. Not much. It will primarily be there for support and not active usage.

Interesting I had seen this video before but now that I am improving on my 9 to 3 swing I am getting totally new sensations. Am I correct to assume that the club is automatically releasing as the posting is pulling the left arm into impact and the hands remain very soft. I think I used to try to pull the left hand into position whereas I am just amazed how soft the action is. Thanks, Marc
June 5, 2018

Craig (Certified RST Instructor)
Hello Mark. Yes, the club will release automatically with proper posting and soft wrists/forearms. You can continue to pull too much affecting the rotation.

There are some new grips on the market that don't taper at all. What is you opinion about these. Seems you can still grip the club in the last three fingers of the left hand with these, but I'm not sure what the purpose of a non-tapered grip is.
March 16, 2018
64x64
Craig (Certified RST Instructor)
Hello Dan. Some of the non-tapered grips are geared to try and keep the right hand less in the equation. You can still control with the last three lead on those specific grips. But, I find it tends to make my lead hand even more tense because of how it wraps around the club.

Not sure why you are repeating the Vijay release drill from the "Adding the Lead Arm" section. On retrospect, you had it in the last section because it is more a lead arm release drill ...and in this section because it relates to the speed gain potential from pivoting 4 inches up the shaft ...of the pinky. Also, repeating helps slow guys like myself pick it up from repetition. ALOT of great stuff in here. LOVE this program!!

Huh, very odd. It plays for 30 seconds and stops... It looks like 30 seconds is the full length (bar at the bottom moves to the bottom).

Hi Craig - This was the video that I was watching (in reference to the video analysis you just did). That is why I was taking my thumb out of the picture, though I was completely unaware of the tension and angle I was not doing at the top. Thanks for the great insights... I'll try to focus on this. My next video will probably be the same step 4 drill... I really want to get these elements down. Thanks~!

I'm right handed and while trying the 1st part of the drill using only the 3 fingers, the club grip moves back and forth through the swing. I can't seem to control the club. Is it possible I need a bigger grip? My hands are average but not fat.
May 20, 2017
64x64
Craig (Certified RST Instructor)
Hello Bruce. Sounds like the grip is too much in the palm and not in the fingers. If you tend to get a wear spot in the glove. That would typically be the tell tale sign. Take a look at the Golf Grip Tips Video.

Paul
hello : I am right handed, but play golf lefty. I feel that my lead hand is to powerful n overtakes to much in the swing. Is that possible ? Thanks
April 27, 2017
64x64
Craig (Certified RST Instructor)
Hello Paul. In your case, playing lefty, but being right hand dominant you could use too much. The tendency would be to over pull and have the club shallow too much with excessive lag. Is this what you are experiencing?

Is the right arms only job to pull the left arm back in the backswing?
April 19, 2017
64x64
Craig (Certified RST Instructor)
Hello Harry. The folding of the trail arm will bring the hands across centerline and support the plane. As well as, position the scapula in the proper position and help you maintain width. Take a look at the 3 Functions of the Right Arm Video.
