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.

As you've no doubt seen, my golf students have been picking up some serious distance through my unique driver fittings that combine instruction and technology to help golfers gain 30+ yards in one session. One of the things that gets attention during these sessions is the grip and how it affectes that amount of lag the student has in the downswing as well as the tension level during the transition.
In this video, I discuss some of the key points about the left hand grip and how it affects lag and tension. It is critical to understand how the biomechanics of the wrist joint and the bone structure allow you to create leverage for maximum power with minimal effort.
In the screen capture from the lag video below, you can see how it is impossible to maintain lag with an improper grip due to the makeup of the wrist joint. You simply cannot have the proper amount of lag in the golf swing with an improper grip.
Notice in the next photo that when a proper grip is taken, the angle between the shaft and left forearm increases dramatically, increasing lag and the potential for more clubhead speed.
Commit to these two simple fundamentals presented in this video and you should be able to add at least 5 mph of clubhead speed in one session!
