I know many of you are eager to learn more about the biomechanical changes I’ve been making to my golf swing and how it relates to the powerful swings of elite athletes. Specifically, how to properly use your core in the golf swing to maximize distance and efficiency.
In this video, Chuck provides an accessible introduction to the key golf core movements that separate powerful, efficient ball-strikers from average amateurs. Using a side-by-side face-on comparison of Tiger Woods and Chuck’s own driver swing, the video demonstrates how the correct sequencing of the golf core powers the downswing and creates effortless speed. Tiger’s swing has long been regarded as one of the most powerful and technically sound in history — and watching how he coils and uncoils his body makes the biomechanical principles immediately obvious.
As Chuck is careful to note, the goal here is not to get every student to “swing like Tiger Woods.” Instead, the purpose is to educate golfers on the proper use of the body in the golf swing — the same athletic coiling and uncoiling motion seen across every power sport, from baseball to tennis to throwing events. The mechanics of generating force with the large muscle groups of the body are universal, and golf is no exception.

A lot of compelling research has been done in this field, particularly as it relates to baseball and tennis, and there is valuable reading available that crosses over into golf biomechanics. An article that blends both can be found at https://www.aroundhawaii.com/lifestyle/health_and_fitness/2008-10-tigers-transition.html.
The most instructive content in that article is the animated rear-view photos near the bottom of the page comparing Tiger Woods to a top amateur golfer. Even without any background in golf instruction, it is absolutely clear how much Tiger uses his golf core — his hips and his lead glute in particular — for both power and stability throughout the downswing.
