Could you please describe and define “rehinging”?

Craig (Certified RST Instructor)
Hello Michael. Take a look at Using the Wrists in the Golf Swing Video for technical details on the wrist. Chris will explain hinging. The best way to describe without showing you. The lead wrist will be flat to bowed at impact. Adding hinge/cupping is the the wrist bending backwards. Opposite of a bowed wrist position.

Hi. Thanks very much for the many RotarySwing videos. I am finding my golf game very interesting & much to learn to play better. I am getting to 80yrs & have the following questions. 1.When & how do I set my Left Wrist bowed or cupped to hit the various types of draw/fade shots and low/high shots. 2. Especially how to adjust for the amount of bowing and cupping to get a desired amount of curving in each fade shot, draw shot, low/high fades and low/high draw shots. Thanks. Michael

Hello Michael. That takes practice unfortunately. You will find when you start learning how to curve, or hit high and low how much exaggeration of each that you need. We could measure a set amount. But, let's say I told someone to feel 50% extra bowing. From player to player 50% could mean feeling a lot, or a little considering their current swing. You need to pick targets and trajectories to gauge how much you need to feel in order to get required movement.

after practicing the rotary swing, I have a slight draw to my drives I do use a strong grip so the club is closed at impact but it doesn't happen all the time if the ball is too far forward, I tend to hit a pull fade ball ending up on right side of fairway The draw is pretty to watch and goes long, but I never dry to hit it, sometimes it comes off some hook left, some fade ight, some pull fade, some push draw I've been convinced to accept the flight I ALWAYS tee on the side of trouble and hit away from it my question? how about the tee shot into the wind, do I tee it regular, do I change my plane(flatter) do I play it back, do I keep my shoulders level? any of this stuff work with rotary swing

Hello Richard. Change setup and ball position. Use the Proper Tee Height Video and play more of a stock, or even lower type shot. If you tend to have a draw. More or less the strong grip you have (all things being considered in swing are correct) is causing that ball flight.

I have a question on the location of the smash bag relative to your address position. Specifically , is it located at the ball position or where your divot would be 3- 6 inches ahead of the ball?

Craig (Certified RST Instructor)
Hello Justin. It may depend on what you are trying to achieve. For the vast majority of drills you can place it where you would be making impact (ball).

What does rotary swing think about Ben Hogans swing? He seems to do some things that are counter to rotary. The wide stance along with how low his head goes all the way to impact. Also I have read that he had a "hit it with his body" pivot based swing. What is the consensus on his swing within the rotary swing teachers and can I reconcile his obvious success with rotary instruction? Thanks!

Hello David. I could be here for days on this topic. There are some good and bad in his swing. But, it was all built to fight off a hook. The issue is there a lots of players that have succeeded with different methods. However, we teach what is safest on the body and more efficient. Take a look at the Truths of Instruction Part 1 Video to hear more discussion on your question.

Doesn't the initial ball flight start where the club face is aimed and therefore draw away from your intended target line?
March 24, 2016

Craig (Certified RST Instructor)
Hello Greg. Yes, the ball flight laws were blown up when trackman was able to uncover gear effect and the D-Plane. These were filmed before that information was available. You still can maneuver the ball the way described above. When we have a more readily available way to maneuver according to ball flight laws we will post updated videos.

If you have aimed your body or swing path to the right of the target line, where do you aim your club face? Are you having the club face square to the swing path and causing the curve with the release? Also is the ball position still off the logo of shirt. Take me through if you would the setup routine of hitting a draw.

Craig (Certified RST Instructor)
Hello Greg. Setup to the shot as if you were going to hit a stock straight shot at the target or pin. Ball position underneath the logo. Slightly close the stance or aim the stance slightly to the right of the target while keeping the club aimed at the intended original direction (Stance slightly closed, club at target). From here let yourself swing just slightly to the right and allow for a little draw. Normal release and no need to add any excessive shutting down of the face.

What do I do if I have a big draw even if I don't intend to?
September 5, 2015

Craig (Certified RST Instructor)
Hello Joaquin. If you have a big right to left draw (right handed player). You need to practice a square impact. Work in impact in the taking a divot video. Also, you could be coming too much form the inside (Trace the Plane Line Video).

My shoulders are more open compared to my stance. Can this be the cause?
September 6, 2015

Craig (Certified RST Instructor)
Typically, that would be causing a more Left to Left shot. Pull Draw versus sweeping Right to Left.

Is the club face aimed at the pin or 10 yards to the right of the pin when drawing the ball?
February 9, 2015

Craig (Certified RST Instructor)
Hello Michael. You are adjusting the stance. The club will stay aimed towards the target.

Regarding the wall...If I have water all down the left hand side of a fairway and I want to keep it out anywhere near that, would I hit a draw off the right side? I'm thinking of a course I play a lot and the second shot which is usually on a draw lie...I often hook it into the water. Thoughts? Should I try to fade it off of hook lie?
September 18, 2014

Craig (Certified RST Instructor)
Yes, you would hit a draw of the right side. Don't fight the slope too much. If you try to fade off a hook lie. You are more likely to cross up you lines and hit the ball in a number of directions. Aim more right to counter balance the lie. Don't be too aggressive. Nice and smooth. Don't force the draw. Allow it to happen with a solid swing off a hook lie.

On a dog leg left and hitting a draw, which side of the tee box is best to tee up on?
June 6, 2014
64x64
Craig (Certified RST Instructor)
Depending on the degree of dog leg. If you tee up on the left side. The draw will be more neutralized by starting down the right and drawing to the left side of fairway. If you tee up on the right. Try to aim more left at the apex of the dogleg. The ball flight should start just right of the bend and snap around the corner for you at the end.

Not very good tip! Where should club face set @ address? Where should ball be placed in the stance?
May 9, 2014
64x64
Chris (Certified RST Instructor)
The club face would be square to the foot line and the ball position should be in a normal position unless you are trying to flight the ball up or down. Can you tell me how more on why you feel as though this is a bad tip so that I can help give further clarification as needed.

About how far apart do you place the noodle from each other? It looks like about maybe a yard from the video?
May 5, 2014

1-2 yards is good to start fine tuning.
