Really informative video, I felt like the set up corrections were something that I could check again for my own set up and sure enough I was too far back on my heels, the base of my 7 iron was angled up at address, moved my weight forward, took a small amount of knee bend out and wow, backswing became so much easier, these videos are priceless.

This is a great video. Many thanks. Something Chuck says in the video turned on a lightbulb and I want to confirm what it means. He said that your weight “moves in a figure 8” and that at the top of your backswing, weight is on your right heal and left toe. Does this explain how to move your right knee towards the target during transition? As you “squat to square” does your left foot pivot on the front of your foot, bringing your heal in and hence the right knee point more outward? This has always been a mystery to me. Many thanks

Hello Bruce. The weight does move more similar to a figure "8". The trail leg will actually have some counter torque in more advanced squat to square/transition move. Take a look at Sam Snead Squat Video. As you start to place the weight on the lead side the goal is to move it to the center of the ankle joint. But, it will move a little from front to back.

Hello everyone. I want to provide an update following my lesson (yep that’s me in the video). First of all, Chuck is the best. I think he had me figured out after I took ONE practice swing (over Zoom). Although I was struggling with keeping my head still in the video, I was able to very quickly correct that by using the Wall Drill. I then started swinging in front of a mirror to make sure my right leg was not straightening and my left leg was not coming in too much (Laser Beam Drill helped with this also), while also working to correct my setup/posture. Well, after just two days of doing reps, I started hitting balls into my net and immediately noticed a big increase in both power and consistency. I then took it to the course and was shocked by how much power I picked up. My drives were going 20 yards farther and I was hitting my irons one club further. I kept at it for another couple of days in the mirror and using my net and when I played again today things really starting to click. Over the last 7 holes I played probably the best stretch of golf in my life. Every drive was long (for me) and all but one approach shot was hit right on the button and right where I was aiming. I was amazed. And this is less than one week since my lesson. My lesson wasn’t cheap but it was the best money I’ve ever spent on golf. I’ve been working very hard on Rotary Swing over the past year and while I’d made very good progress, I was still a bit too inconsistent. I felt I needed a trip to the swing doctor and boy am I glad did it. As I say in the video, I truly think Chuck is a genius. Thanks so much my man!
