This is fascinating. Every pro lesson I’ve had has tried to get me to have higher hands...it’s never worked. I’ve always thought that bio mechanically My arms simply don’t go that high! What I think chuck is saying is that it doesn’t matter as long as you continue to use your core/hips (all the fundamental movements of RS) to ensure good sequencing and produce the right shallowing move. Is that right??

Hello Stephen. Yes. There isn't much a difference regarding the height of the hands. Going higher may attribute to a few more yards. But, there is a bigger sacrifice in shallowing and consistency.

Hi Craig, I am hoping you can please offer any specific drills that will help me to keep my arms working in front of my body. I am hitting big blocks out to the right with the driver in particular. Many thanks. Brian

Hello Brian. Check first you are in front at the top and not already deep. The pump drill in How to Stop Hooking Video helps keep the arms from getting stuck.

Hi Chuck, after watching this video I went out to the range. Even without knowing the nitty-gritty the hands low worked really well for me, especially with my irons. Heck I even started to hit little baby draws. I have always struggled with shallowing out the club and deliver it on plane. Also noticed less tension in my lead shoulder. And another benefit was that by not lifting my arms anymore, it was easier to keep my shoulderplane steady during my backswing and not flatten it. Especially with my irons I already have instant result. With the driver I struggle a bit more. So I am looking forward to your drills and details. Thanks a lot already for this insight!

Hello Igor. Great. Love hearing the baby draw.

Hi Chuck, I have spent the last two years trying to become more lead (left in my case)side dominant and take the hands and arms out of it. Now your saying pushing is ok and I got to try and stab myself in the right leg, what on earths changed!?

Hello Harry. The lead side is still in control. Lead side for control. Trail side for power. Apologize for the delay in the drill videos. But, fear not you weren't led astray.

Hey Chuck, I know you're trying to make learning the swing more intuitive, which is great. From looking at this review, are the arms and club not being swung into the "depth dimension" and then coming too far from the inside?

Definitely not

Hey Chuck, thanks for the latest video on shallowing the swing. The way you said you felt when trying to push with the right side is exactly the way all us right side pushers feel when we try to pull with our left. Awkward! Looking forward to learning more about your research when attempting to shallow the swing with trail side dominance. Thank you very much for all the long hours and thousands of swings to bring this new ground-breaking information to us. Dan

Chuck. I struggle with the squat to square and post up movement. What exactly is a right sided push.? It may be exactly what I need.

This is interesting, of course. I have typically had a fairly flat backswing, with my arms just a tad above the shoulder plane. However, I start down steeply, pulling my hands pretty straight down, leaving me no choice but to early extend a bit. So, would I need to think about trying to just rotate to start the downswing, and leave my hands fairly high? I just can't quite get the club shallow enough on the downswing. Thanks!

15 years ago I was a decent golfer (5.6) and thought I could only get better with lessons, now I am 17.3. Rotary Swing seems like what I think I lost but I didn’t want to officially start my reps until I could dedicate myself to it. I have watched most of the videos and had some success but my old habits are deeply ingrained. Like this player I am front side dominant and like a previous one I have the same issue needing the steepening move. I look forward to more videos about your research but, as someone just starting should I supplement the drills/reps with something to specifically counter the deeply ingrained bad habits or will just following the steps take care of it?

Chuck, your timing for this hand/arm dominance issue is great. About 5 months ago I had my best 18 hole game ever - shot a 76! I thought wow, I have finally got it. So, I thought now I can work on more distance. I am right handed, and my left arm is my lead arm. I thought I should be able to add more distance using my right hand. What a disaster! My irons and hybrids shots have been so inconsistent it is totally frustrating. I hit so many shanks, it is embarrassing. I know it's my right side that is causing it, but now I am struggling to prevent my right side from taking over during my swing. I can't wait to see the results of your studies on this subject, and I hope I will be able to take advantage of it.

Hello Charles. Great playing. Will will be able to help get you that power from the trail side, but still maintain the control from the lead side. Lots of new drills coming up to help.

This is excellent and I can’t wait for a fuller explanation of the new research: the last 1.5 years on this site I’ve made huge improvement is swing and ball striking but that critical period from start of downswing to impact is still kind of a mystery - would love to understand all the pieces of that better - so HURRY! But also, we’re still waiting for more on putting, so please more on that too. Thanks

Sometimes, maybe it's difficult to see the wood from the trees and forget basics. Surely body shape determines plane shape and top of backswing position, massively. Chuck, you always said that a natural top of the backswing position, which feels comfortable is good. For us shortish guys there is always a danger of swinging under the plane if trying to swing flatter. This must also apply to taller guys ?? Am I wrong?

You are misunderstanding the notion of “swinging flatter”. Most golfers think this just means swinging your arms more around and that’s not correct. If your arms go more around then your shoulders must rotate more steeply to compensate, which sort of cancels each other out in a way.

So if I am right side dominant and have my hands in a more shallow position at the top, the right side "push" may be an efficient release?

It’s a tad more involved than that but in general you could think of it that way.

Learned a lot from this lesson. I realized I am also pulling down and through with the lead arm (also left-handed), and that's probably the reason I can't start my draw to left as consistently as I'd like. Great insight and teaching.

Thanks Ken. Yes if you are swinging the club you have to let the body do the work first to shallow the club. Yanking down with the left arm will make you too steep
