Very helpful though one question: Chuck was having this golfer push with the right hip to open his hips for the downswing. I've always been taught by Rotary Swing to open my hips by pulling with the left hip keeping the right one passive. What am I missing?

Hello William. You can see in the Throw the Ball Drill Part 2 Video (old rotary video) that we advocated if you needed the help using a little of the trail foot to drive the hips was fine. As we get older sometimes we need a little push to help open the lead hip because the lead isn't strong enough to get the job done enough for speed. Most of our videos will talk about controlling the trail foot so I can understand the confusion.

The arms should be relaxed in the backswing. I'm not sure why that gives the initial free fall in the backswing (or does he mean in the transition?) or what a free fall even means. Can you explain this for me?

Hello Asle. In the transition, there will be a gravity (free fall effect) for the arms. Take a look at Reshaping Your Swing for Lag Video.

Great video- emulating this move helps me feel power from lower body and help break my habit of having too much upper body movement to start downswing. but the question I have is in watching the traNsition move in dead drill I thought I needed to get hips more or less square before the post up. By being so aggressive early with the hips it feels as if they will be way open at post up leading to the left shoulder being too open at contact which also plaques me

Hello Ciaran. This is for feel. Some players can use the drill above an exaggerate it too much. You are correct though you don't want the hips ripping open before post.

This video is a real eye opener! I am now using my lower body more aggressively. Now just trust the arms will drop, release ! Really made some nice contact with the extended 9-3 drill, creating lag naturally.

Chuck I have to tell you, that was brilliant!! You have mentioned how we all learn things in different ways. Sometimes you have to hear the same things differently for it to sink in. This lesson for Robert really made it click for me. I am excited and can't wait to hit the driving range. I have been trying to figure out a way to stop swinging my arms and take the tension out of my shoulders, this finally really helps me. THANKS! I will let you know if it worked for me!!

Great Michael. Exactly. The fundamentals/movements don't change. It's all finding the best way to relay that information to the student. Keep us posted.

Robert is my avatar. Mirrors many of my own difficulties—hip slide, deep backswing, passive hips. Most helpful: 1) purpose of backswing to load right hip/glute; 2) using right hip to rotate through. I took a lesson last summer from a local pro who said to do exactly this (#2), and it seemed to help, but I was hesitant to go all-in because of the Rotary Swing mantra to not push with right leg and lose the tush line. I think you can rotate without the push, if you load first. This baseball hip idea seems to be a simpler way to understand/feel the shift and post. Thanks to Robert and Chuck for sharing.

Chuck often talks about the $100 fine if your right heel comes off the ground on the downswing. Here to shift the power focus from the arms to the lower body, in the exaggerated move we're "squishing the bug" like a baseball swing. What is the difference between the finable offense of having the right heel come off the ground and "squishing the bug"? Is it simply exaggerating to force the lower body to work and then we get rid of bug squishing or is there something fundamentally different between the bug squishing (good) and having the right heel come off the ground (bad)?

Hello Pete. Still a $100 fine . For the drill/exercise it is fine when exaggerating. As you transition in golf you want the trail leg to be a counter force. Take a look at the Sam Snead Squat Video. Baseball has a few different parameters vs a golf swing. When hitting a 90 mph fast ball the arms are going to be pressed against the chest to brace for impact and golf you are really working hard to to let the club work independently of the body. The drill above is exaggerating to awaken the legs to realize they have to do the heavy lifting.
