Do you find that you can play the first few holes ok and then the wheels start to fall off and you don't know how to get things back on track? Then this lesson is a MUST WATCH for you! After giving thousands of lessons over the past 25 years, helping golfers overcome the "consistency crux" has been my focus and exactly why I developed the DEAD Drill.

I have a big problem transitioning from solid ball striking to the golf course. I have amazing range sessions and I get to the course excited to shoot lights out and it all falls apart. I played at a nice club last weekend. I got there early. There were unlimited balls to hit. I hit a lot of half shots focusing on good posture (no rounding) and the rotation from the right side and elevation. I worked up to 3/4 shots and the full shots. I must have hit my five iron for 30 to 40 minutes. I had a beautiful follow through. A guy i knew complimented me on my swing. The strikes sounded crisp. On the first hole I had a five iron layup on on a par five and I hit it 30 yards. It started a day of frustration. I almost broke 90, but I didn’t hit the ball like I did on the range and I had a periodic pull and push or slice. My buddies say it is all in my head. I have been on RST for a few years. I know the videos and concepts well. The only thing I can think of is that in a tournament or competitive round intense my muscles in my shoulders and arms. I spent some time in my backyard and I tried to feel the pressure and I went for a nice right shoulder oblique to a left side push. What do you recommend? Thanks.

Hello Eric. When you replied to your comment the system doesn't notify instructors that there's a question posted. However I think you almost answered to your question. When you play a round or in tournament your focus changes from proper movements into results of shots. Therefore I would assume that your hands take over and you lose your proper sequence. Focus solely on movements and forget the results. Good luck!

Just to add, the tension freezes my hips or pelvis, the left arm push causes my right arm to fly and I don’t get a complete rotation which results in some kind of a bad over the top downswing from a right tense shoulder and bad follow through. It is a dramatically different r feel from the range. I do still hit a lot of very good shots in a round. When I do I end up in a nice finish and someone usually makes a poser comment. Ha.

Fantastic lesson. I play in glasses which I think tends to make me lower my head to avoid looking through the rims. Swinging without them I can have my chin up, and my shoulders become less rounded etc. Maybe I need to play without them and hope someone else can see the ball flight!

Hello Jim. I have students all the time that struggle because of wearing bifocals. They don't realize they are making the error until they change the shades.

I've needed a good mid-round "get back on track" process and I think this is it. Also love the carousel analogy - it's one of your best. One question about the top of the swing - at the top, where should my weight be distributed in my back foot. I usually try kick in my right knee and pin down the inside of my right foot - so that my weight never gets too far back to the outside of my right foot (but that risks reverse pivot). At the top, should I feel my weight in my right heel, balanced across my heel and balls of my foot? And should I feel it more on the inside of my right foot as I use it to post up back there?

Hello Jared. The weight will be a little more centered on the foot trending towards the heel. You don't want to get on the back edge of the heel. Feeling the pressure stay towards the inside/middle of the foot is fine. You don't want to roll/sway to the outside.

So grateful for Chuck and the Rotary team putting these videos on the site for the rest of us to view. Essentially we're all getting a free lesson from "the man" himself, and it is such a great thing to see the organization's passion to help members in any way. Although I'm on the unlimited swing program with Aaron M., it makes me want to do a session with "the man" when I see these videos. By the way, Aaron is well worth the $$$, but don't tell him that because he'll want more $$...Sincerely, Bill G.

Thanks SO MUCH Chuck! This video lesson was perfect for showing the fluid move of the back swing. I have been studying the parts with practice, and I found that this video to measurably increase my understanding. You have convinced me that this is a great way to increase consistency by simple means. To me... your teaching/method is a fundamental to better golf with less stress to the body. Thanks again!

Chuck, thanks so much for the lesson. Quick update ... I played 9 holes after work yesterday and while I can't comment on long term consistency, I can say I gained a ALOT more power in the swing - I guess from taking a much fuller shoulder turn. In those 9 holes I hit the 3 longest drives of my life and gained at least one club on my iron shots. Hit 7 greens in regulation. Lesson was the best 30 minutes I've ever spent on my game.

That's awesome Jeff! As I told you, you had a lot of great things for me to work with already, so getting you on track wouldn't take much time.

Hello Lawrence. Chuck solely focuses on glamour muscles. Have to be pretty on camera right?

Probably the best online lesson I've seen, and they're all good! I've have been working on body focus and reducing the arms with RJ and Bootcamp, so I'm expecting to see some changes when I can hit real balls at last. I now realise that pretty much every amateur has an armsy swing, it's just a case of degree and I have certainly experienced many of the same issues. I would go so far as to say that at one point I had 'optimised' an arms-only swing and just kept trying to swing them faster! Again absolutely superb lesson. Many Thanks Chuck

As you add the left arm, initially should you focus on keeping the upper arm connected to the chest to make sure it is the body doing the turning?

Hello Peter. I would like to shy away from too much connection. But, if you need to do the exaggerated version Chuck talked about a few times to grasp the concept it won't hurt you.

This video is really good. I am progressing very well and I am starting to add distance and I think the shoulder and arm alignment is what I need to drill on the most.
