Everyone take a moment to be in awe of that amazing backdrop!

I actually pulled this shot off once, a few years ago, completely by accident. Confronted with a tee shot from an elevated tee over about 200 yards of forest to the fairway I was resigned to losing my ball. Worse, a group ahead waved me to play my shot as they walked down to play their next shots. Anyway, I got my 2 iron out, as I was struggling with my driver that day, relaxed as I thought I was bound to lose my ball, let the club fall in the way described in the video, completely by accident, and caught the ball perfectly. It soared over the forest and careered down the fairway. I started looking for my ball near where the group ahead were waiting still to play their 2nd shots and they asked what I was looking there for. When I said I'd lost sight of the ball they pointed way down the fairway and said it was down there. It must have gone about 275 to 280 yards, and with a 2 iron! As I walked down to it, for the one and only time in 50 years of playing golf since I was 14, I felt like Jack Nicklaus. Needless to say, reality returned on the next hole when I hacked my tee shot about 100 yards into a ditch!

I am a high handicap (17) golfer. On my simulator with the first knuckle of the trail hand pushing the club to start the golf swing and 80% of my iron shots are hitting the green, 100 yards to 150 yards. All I did was watch the video's and then went down and started to feel the first move be to use my hands to get the club rotating. This idea of cast the club, I hope continues to be amazing for my golf game.

I went to the driving range and tried this. This is exactly what I needed. I was too focused on hip rotation. This cast move has just unlocked the missing power I’ve been trying to get back. Thank you!

[jimblazina]

great explanation and video. I've had a hard time reconciling width with holding on to lag and this really nails it. And without muscling the club through I'll bet it's a bunch easier on my left shoulder, which has started getting tweaked, esp working on building up speed.

[paulmccaskill]

This is awesome and its so effortless.

Cant wait for the second part of this video. Hopefully soon.
Thank you 😊⛳

Awesome sir, THIS is the holy grail. I know because I’ve felt this before and it’s counter intuitive and amazing.

As a 54 yr old man who has been playing since he was 14, this is pure gold. Here's the key to all this IMO... You need the tension in your swing in the RIGHT muscles / joints. It's all about the tension being in the right place(s). Once you get that down, it's a natural progression and practice to make the 'whip' do its thing.

[murph]

That makes a lot of sense, super interesting. My current instructor has been getting to do that also. Hard to get rid of that sensation of holding the angle and doing “pump drills” for lag when I was beginning to learn the swing. Thank you posting this ❤ ⛳

[landmanlimited]

This is amazing advice and immediately improved my game with all the clubs and so much less effort and more reliable striking. Thank you!

[petegalindez]

This and your video on the stance has been absolute gold…I was very athletic growing up, playing ice hockey through division 1 with excellent hand/eye coordination so I could must muscle a club from almost anywhere and make good contact…Now, I’m 55 now, had both hips replaced, shoulder surgery, and back-related injuries…so, less effort is much preferred…have had a lot of trouble getting club speed, leading to shorter distance (though not as much of a concern) and much lower flight (75ish feet with irons with about a 41 degree landing angle)….I’ve always used blades because contact isn’t much of an issue for me and I love the way they look at address and feel…tried buying distance irons and actually hit them very poorly (heads too big!)…after using some of your videos over the last few weeks, getting more distance, and much better height (90+ feet) with my Miura KM700 irons - even my 5 iron!!! And the best part, and a first in years, is I was able to do 3 range sessions 3 days in a row of about 125 balls! Haven’t been able to do 2 days in a row for a long time and limited to playing only 9 holes…can’t wait to start playing 18 again with much less effort!

[marcusjohnson]

Great information. Makes me think of Freddie or Ernie with their graceful tempo that looks so effortless but produces so much speed. Just as an aside, that background is spectacular 😳

[tacticaltruth]

Mind blow. This is the opposite of what you hear from most instructors. It reminds me of the video of when Ben Hogan was on the Ed Sullivan show and he was whipping is golf club back and forth. Looking forward to video 2.

Hi Chuck. Thank you so much for taking the time to help us. Everything is very clear, but I still have one doubt. Are the throw and the glide simultaneous or does one trigger the other?

[joedeausen]

Chuck, Thanks for doing this Q&A session. We appreciate you taking this time to do this. About the right hand: During the downswing, do you feel you are using the Right Hand to "throw the ball" drill at impact?

[prvvuzm]

Fantastic analysis as always Chuck. The feeling of the club itself controlling the tempo is what's struck me and it's alot of fun to put less "muscle" and watch it go further consistently. A bit of a term question however ..."fast/speedy hands" is really referring to what? The "speed" of hands through the release? The rotational acceleration of the club head at the moment of impact?

[barryashenhurst]

Mate I think you're on to something; telling us what we don't have to think about, rather, like every other teacher, giving us 50 more things to think about before hitting the ball. You got me. Well done!

[edbell]

I'm trying to combine the early casting with proper shoulder turn i.e. sliding the scap's in lieu of rotating. Both moves go together like PB&J.

[vanceadler]

Tried the new swing for the past two days with generally good results. I think I'm still starting the downswing with a downward pull of the arms while trying to unload the wrists. Should the club feel kind of waitless starting down and the unload the wrists?
