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.

The body movement necessary to execute the Rotary Swing is so simple, it could be termed in just one word - rotation. Throughout the golf swing, the body’s aim is to simply rotate around the spine without changing its angle, that’s it. With the spine acting as a fixed axis, the body can simply rotate back and through.
Many of my students actually think of the entire golf swing now as nothing more than “turn and turn,” and this would be an accurate depiction of the simplicity of this movement and the beauty of the Rotary Swing.
To get the feeling for this movement, stand straight up in a balanced stance as discussed in the Golf Address article and place your arms across your chest.
Now, simply rotate away from the target around your spine. You’ll note that there is no pronounced weight shift during this move, but you will feel a slight increase in pressure on the inside of the back foot.
If you have moved your weight significantly to your back leg, the base of your spine has shifted away from the target or you have tilted your spine away from the target and these are unnecessary extra movements. The base of your spine is the fixed point for the golf swing and your spine simply acts as an axis to rotate your upper torso around.
Note how a big turn of the upper torso is made while the body remains very centered.- Full access to this and 150+ other articles
