I saw such an improvement in my golf swing by being a free member that I wanted the full benefits of a premium membership. I'm a notorious range rat who has learned more with my premium membership than I have from thousands of dollars of lessons and training aids over the past 20 years.

Excellent, thorough, detailed and comprehensive free information had me wanting more and the price/value was excellent.

The swing instruction offered by the free version made it apparent that this is the right way to perfect the golf swing (or get as close as possible). Just a few videos on how to start the backswing and initiate the downswing made a huge difference in my consistency.

After watching the free videos, I quickly realized the golf action Chuck is teaching is based on common sense fundamentals that most tour professionals use today. I also realized Chuck had a talent for explaining the golf swing in a way that makes sense.

All the work you've done on your RST golf swing to this point has culminated in this next set of drills in the "5 Minutes to the Perfect Downswing" video.
As with the other "5 Minutes to..." videos, a specific sequence and set of drills that can easily be done in your home or office is laid out in a simple to follow and easy to understand program that only takes a few minutes per day to get you moving forward and ingraining the proper movement patterns.
Building the perfect golf downswing should be the goal of every golfer for numerous reasons.
First, understanding how to move correctly and how to align the joints properly is critical for injury prevention. The forces generated during the downswing are tremendous and potentially very harmful if the movements are done incorrectly. This is where most golfers, professional and amateur alike, sustain their golf related injuries, so take the time to focus on the drills and positions in this video.
The forces that go through the body during a full speed driver swing are tremendous. For a professional level driver club head speed, the club head effectively weighs over 100 pounds through impact! Imagine trying to move around a 100 pound sledge hammer and you can understand how important it is to have your joints properly aligned to fight the stresses placed on the body during the downswing. The picture above is from a great video ESPN did in May 2011 on Tiger Woods swing and the tremendous forces he's placing on his body by not moving correctly in the downswing.
Second, the downswing is where the speed is created in the golf swing. Creating speed the RST way is about efficiency.
So, if you want to produce those powerful, effortless golf shots all golfers dream of, it's in your best interest to work through these drills daily.
And finally, accuracy and clubface control is also highly dictated by what you're doing in the downswing, so straights shots that fly far and true will be the result of you working deliberately through this video.
This video covers the sequence of the downswing from A-Z. Let's look closer at the movements and drills covered in this video...
