The central objective of the Rotary Swing is to establish a universally accepted set of fundamentals for the golf swing<\/strong>, just as we have in every other athletic discipline. The first step in that process is to understand what a fundamental<\/em> actually means; from that foundation, we can systematically determine the true fundamentals of the golf swing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything you have ever learned in life has been built upon a set of fundamentals agreed upon by the governing body or experts within that particular field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you learn to play tennis, there are universally accepted grips \u2014 fundamentals of how to hold the racquet. There are fundamentals governing how you serve, how you execute a forehand, a backhand, and every other stroke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Golf, however, has somehow avoided establishing a universal set of swing fundamentals<\/strong>. That is remarkable when you think about it. How can we effectively help golfers improve and develop their game if the sport is not rooted in a common set of fundamentals that is agreed upon, that is logically sound, and that is based on anatomical absolutes<\/strong>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is exactly what we are here to address. The first thing we must do is define a clear, objective set of fundamentals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
