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.

Releasing the putter face is something that is misunderstood by most of the golfing population.
It is a commonly held belief that the putter face should be looking down the target line during the entire stroke.
Of course, that's not possible without manipulating the putter face and bending over to 90° with the upper spine.
The putter, just as in the normal swing, works on an arc, which means the putter face is only looking straight down the target line for a split second at impact and then immediately works left and points left of the target.
In this video, I show you the number one most common fault that amateur golfers make in their putting and how to correct it.
A correct putting follow through, with the putter face pointing left of the target.If you look at the picture above, you can see how my putter face is pointing left of the target in the follow through and has remained low to the ground.
In order to accomplish this, my forearms must be rotating to release the putter rather than allowing my left wrist to break down as so many amateurs do.
This breakdown of the left wrist leads to very inconsistent contact, which leads to horrible distance control.
As the putter is allowed to rotate for the release rather than flip, it stays low to the ground for a shallow bottom of the stroke, and loft is being taken off during the stroke rather than added, leading to a more solid stroke, and thus, better distance control.
Below is the image of a broken down left wrist leading to the putter being flipped through impact.
Here, you can see a broken down left wrist, a putting flaw common to amateurs.To avoid this detrimental and all-too-common mistake with the putter, watch this video to find out how to properly release the putter face during the stroke.
You'll soon be hitting your putts more online and more solidly than ever before!
