Incredible how this series bring us back to the fundamentals. To see how many shots you're hitting with a minimum swing and looking at your checkpoints every time is very inspiring. This series not only show us WHAT but HOW to get there. Great, great stuff Craig!

Great Luc. One of the main goals when I came up with this idea was to help show people how to practice. I may be a bit methodical and over analytic about my move. But, the devil is in the details.

I’m loving these vids. I’ve been away from the game for several months due to prostate cancer treatments but taking this mini swing approach is just right. I’m good for 20-30 balls at a time 3-4 days a week before getting fatigued. Thanks to you Craig. AD

Thanks Jack. I hope your treatments are going well. My father is a Urologist so I am very familiar with the process you are going through. Feel better on the sooner side and happy to read you can start to enjoying the game with the same smaller approach that I am working on.

These videos are exactly what I need to got through this process honestly. Please explain what you mean by "moving the fulcrum"

Craig (Certified RST Instructor)
Hello Charles. For more information, take a look at Moving the Fulcrum Video. Basically, the lead shoulder will be the fulcrum position in the swing. When I mention this I am taking my lead shoulder and spinning it out of the shot instead of staying square at impact. Hope this helps.

Loving these sessions, they're giving me the desire and know how to improve my phase 1 practice. Really liked seeing the down the line view this time - it shows us the real length and dispersion that you are getting for phase 1.

Great Pete! Happy you are liking the series. I will try to get DTL as much as I can (sun cooperating).

Craig & Chuck, "Craig's Journey Back" is one of finest golf teaching concepts I've ever witnessed to date. The power of this presentation is that it delineates the process by an accomplished journeyman (Craig) from the very first phase. It shows the speed of his practice, the detail of his practice, the tensionless mechanics of Craig's motion and his excellent results as well as "total system failures" we all struggle with. To witness Craig's process after he had a "total system failure" is a unique experience for us students. Prior to hitting his next shot, Craig went through every checkpoint of the lesson to "refocus" and get back on track. This not only reinforces the content of the lesson itself but shows the entire process to get back on track. And then there's the AI tools. Incredible. Just an excellent piece of work guys. AWESOME

Hello David. We appreciate the compliments. Many thanks. Certainly, glad you are enjoying the series and I hope it provides a lot of useful lessons within a lesson to help you improve your game. We will contnue to work hard on our end to make your process of a swing change even better. Just don't let the AI boss you around too much. I had a stern talking with it the other day. . More to come with bigger challenges ahead.

Craig as always entertaining and informative. I noticed that the line of your right forearm to hand (DTL view) looks almost flat. Is that significant? T2

Forgot to add at setup
July 20, 2022

Craig (Certified RST Instructor)
Hello Terry. Depends. You want to shy away from having too much ulnar deviation in the wrists at setup. You need a little angle from forearm to wrist to club. I am still having a little flexibility issues with my right arm. May seem a little more extending than normal. Main thing is not fully extended and straight line from elbow to heel of club.

Hi Craig, again your long explanations and focus on detail is tremendously helpful. Reminds me there are no shortcuts, you HAVE to put the work in. I take it by TWEENY you meant a little flat, such as allowing a few blades of grass before club impact. Respectfully, Tony Palos.

Craig (Certified RST Instructor)
Hello Tony. Yes. Just a few blades of grass. So, close to perfect but can't be counted :(. Happy you are enjoying it my friend!

This is quickly becoming one of my favorite sections in C4. "Total system failure" will be my new reaction to a poor shot as opposed to expletives and exasperation ...this time around was a total crack up (in a good way!). The attn to detail and focusing on the proper goals & checkpoints in this phase adds tons of value. Rooting for you man! These sessions are Must See TV!!

Thanks Stephen. Rooting for you as well!! The swing is about to start getting interesting as I add release and a little speed .

Craig, I agree with Keith that your meticulous evaluation of each shot is a great example to us to be more critical of the little variances we make to dial it in tighter. Now is the time to set these parameters before we add the release. These critiques and subsequent improvements will make the next part even more exciting for us. Thanks again for taking the time and sharing your adventure with us! Jim

Craig (Certified RST Instructor)
You're welcome Jim. You are correct. These smaller shots should be dialed in. Larger the swing and greater the pace the more opportunity we have to have it breakdown. This also helps with the short game .

I love this video series! For me, it is super helpful to see what you are thinking when doing these drills. Even more important, I like seeing what you do when you make a mistake. That is where the valuable lessons are. I personally like the long videos so we can see something that we all can relate to. Great stuff!!

Craig (Certified RST Instructor)
Thanks John. Learn a lot more from failure than successes . I will have shorter and longer. The better I get I will keep them shorter. The ones I really struggle with I will leave a lot more to show how I work out of it.

Another very useful video Craig really helps me to keep going when I see what your doing. Just one question, does the lead elbow need to be pointing to the target on impact?
July 19, 2022
64x64
Craig (Certified RST Instructor)
Hello Eoin. Yes, the lead elbow should be pointing as close to down the target line as possible. Glad you liked the video.

These videos are so useful Craig. Importantly, when a guy who used to play on the PGA tour still makes the odd very minor mistake and doesn’t count the shot, it tells us a) not to be so hard on ourselves, and b) if we really want to dial it in and improve, we need to be just as strict. It is too easy for us to see the ball going straight and counting the shot, when maybe we didn’t hit all the checkpoints. Great to watch your journey with us!

Thanks for the post Keith. Really happy you are enjoying the series. Sadly, didn't make it all the way to the big boy tour. But, played a lot with those guys. You don't have to be a nit picky as I am. But, these smaller shots should be dialed in. Because if I let those little ones slide now. It will only hurt me down the road.

Would you suggest hitting with towel under both armpits or headcover to promote body turn over arms. These are great!!
July 19, 2022
64x64
Craig (Certified RST Instructor)
Hello Tom. Using the towel method can limit the function of the arms elevating and staying in front of the chest. Ideally, I would shy away from the towel. Sometimes the glove can be a useful tool.

Great work, Craig! Love how you stick to the gameplan...you don't interject the set with half or full swings. Trust in the process. You got this! Keep it going!

Continued good, while subtle, information. What are your thoughts on 2 sessions in a day?
July 19, 2022

Craig (Certified RST Instructor)
Hello Jack. You can do two sessions in a day. If I had the time I would do a morning and evening session to get mor reps in.
