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.

An instant killer of the one plane swing is sliding the hips during the downswing. Because the swing is based more on rotation, a sliding of the hips changes the entire dynamics of the swing.
It causes the position of the base of the spine to move, which in turn changes the spine angle which then changes the shoulder plane which changes the arm plane which then changes the plane and path of the club.
Sheeesh, by the time the club gets to the ball, who knows where it is going. The goal in the golf swing is to keep things simple, repeatable and effortless powerful and this one movement destroys all those things and leads to two very common misses.
The first and most common is a high blocked shot to the right. If the golfer senses the slide and knows what it is happening, instincts can take over and he will try and square the club with the hands. This can lead to snap hooks or draws depending on his or her timing that day.
Hitting balls on just one leg will help give you a sense of how the body must rotate rather than slide in the one plane swing.
