Is there a webinare or video on what exactly you do and how just beore impact in detail. Maybe something very slow motion with what you call that snap of the hands.

There are quite a few videos on here that cover this if you search for release or throw

I get with the driver your moving up and backwards at impact. The body as a lever. Do you do the same with your irons and all clubs? Cheers

Hey chuck been doing the throw motion for about a month and seen great changes. The only problem is that im struggling to hit a cut with woods and irons what tips do you have to get that ball going from left to right.

I stand a little closer and swing a little more upright then a little more left coming down while holding the face a little open

Chuck, this is me as well. I hate drawing the ball because I eventually hook it. Gotta see you demonstrate hitting fade shots with this release pattern.

This was awesome. I have watched it twice and might watch it a 3rd. Makes me want to go back and watch the Fascia video again. Thanks

I really enjoyed this first podcast. You mentioned a webinar where you discuss releasing the fascia. Which one is it?

it is under the webinars in the video menu

Oh, I understood that. I was wondering what the title of the webinar in question is.

The quickest way to find it if you don't see it is to search for fascia. It is the one with fascia in the title, 4th one down i believe

Really enjoyed hearing you talk about your feels in the swing, Chuck. When you did the video on swinging like Tiger in 2000, you discussed “throwing the club from the top”. But in the podcast, you talking about waiting for the hands and wrists to snap at the bottom. Same feel, different feel?

Chuck
You still throw from the top just as you would throw in the ball, but you don’t snap until the release

I enjoyed your description of the trail shoulder and not forcing supination of the wrist. These are two of the many things I am forcing creating my push swing rather than having an "effortless" swing. Thanks!

Great video as always Chuck. Very Insightful and lucid dive into the finer points. I’d love to hear more about the top of the swing as it transitions to the downswing. Specifically, the feel of a pause at the top as the energy collects and changes directions. I realize it’s happening fast, but is there a way to sort of exaggerate this so one can begin the search for a feeling of his own?

The most important key is loading around the trail hip so that it unloads extremely quickly, but I think I could do a podcast on the top of the swing to dive into this more

Great, thank you! Also, as I’ve started to achieve some extraordinary consistency with my striking, I’m starting to see the actual ball flight that my equipment is producing and while it’s definitely far enough I don’t like the trajectory of it. I can bring it down but it takes something off. So my question is; could you make any suggestions for equipment combinations ie shaft weight, head combos, etc? I just notice my spin numbers have “normalized” depending on the shot I’m trying to hit and now I want to optimize my irons during my next fitting.

Equipment is a very personalized choice depending on how you load the shaft and release it so you’ll need to work with a fitter there because everyone will be very different

By the way, those kangaroo grips are a-maz-ing

Thanks for this, Chuck. As an old guy (coming up on 70), I still believe I can get back above 100 mph with the driver (averaged 103-105 in my 30s and 40s). I’m still a low single digit handicap and I’m hopeful the GOAT code process can get me the speed back. Keep up the great work!

Chuck, You explain the golf swing beautifully. I am so thankful you spent time on mechanics first. I'm no pro, but there is a lot to be said for understanding the swing. Hearing about feel now makes perfect sense.

I’m surprised at lack of mention of the explosion from the left (lead leg). The long drive hitters leave the ground with the left leg explosion. You don’t feel left keg explosion too?
January 23, 2025

Chuck
The left leg snaps and I’ve talked about that a fair bit and covered it a lot in recent reels on Instagram, but the power comes from the trail leg primarily

Hi Chuck. Just a bit confused…in your Coil around the trail leg video you say that you need to do it fast, yet in this podcast you say ‘slow, slow’, then release your hands fast. Is it the case that the takeaway and start of the backswing needs to be quick, and then you pause before transition and release? Looking forward to your next podcast. Keith

What I am saying wait I’m really referring to the arms and hands. There is a sense of timing. That is very important here to get this snap correct and you must wait with the arms and hands until the trail hip has been fully loaded and that is what you are waiting on because it can’t snap if it’s not loaded correctly.

Loved this segment. Really brings to life the feeling need to make trail hand supination effective.

Keep it coming Chuck!!! Would love to hear more detail on the "dynamic stretch" mechanism because I always tend to feel in a rush at the top and will often come over the top (front shoulder fly's open-former baseball habit)....thanks in advance! Kevin in Az

The key to this dynamic stretch is the coil around the trail leg because it will give you power without having to use your arms or upper body at all
