| The driver, fairway wood swing is exactly the same in RSS. We keep things simple....one swing for all clubs. Golf is hard enough to learn one swing, let alone several. I will use some driver swings in future posts. The thing I pride myself on as a coach is having an answer to all questions and using video or pictures to back up my statements as well as success by students in tournament golf. I do not get a tip from here and there and throw it out there to try and sound good or keep the people happy. I know what works and what does not. You can not give a tip to the general population as all swings have different patterns and one tip may work for some but completely screw up the others. If you want me to fix your swing, then you need to show it to me, otherwise I will be guessing and I do not do that. I aim to fix impact and to do that I have a model that I know works and I will work off that. Holistic, whatever. Is that going to fix your shut, across the line club face??? These approaches are ways around the primary problems in a golfers make up. Why talk about course management when a golfer cannot control his ball to be able to execute a game plan or strategy?? Control the ball and you can control the course and the rest is history! Confidence and mental strength come from being able to execute. Poor execution will result in poor mental games and poor decisions. At the end of the day, they are just angles (biomechanics) If you start in the right spot, you have a good chance of getting to a good impact position. Control your ball and you control the course.
Part 2 of the RSS videos will be posted tomorrow.
Keep an open mind and don't believe everything you read and see on the golf channel. History of golf instruction has not reduced the average score of golfers for over 100 years, yet most are still teaching the same stuff they taught our grandfathers. There is a better way |

| Part 2 video in the series is about the misconceptions that many have about the RSS. Alot of our critics see things and comment on what they think they see, but it is sometimes not the case.
Feel free to leave any comments or feedback |

| Still can't imagine hitting the Driver which is upward since most of the videos of RSS are hitting down the ball. I still can imagine the woods since the ball can be hit at bottom of the swing. RSC maybe you can show some video of Australia tour pro who is using RSS hitting driver and woods (well... we consider you as tour pro as well ).  _________________ "Is this a Driver which I see before me, The handle toward my hand?"

| Here is a video of Driver vs Iron. The player is Nationwide Tour player, Gavin Coles. Currently 20th on money list and on target to make it back to the PGA Tour again next year. As you can see, the two swings are identical. We do not hit up on the driver, still compress it like all other shots. Just bring ball position forward inside the left foot. LS swings require different swings for woods, irons, wedges, fairway woods. We think that makes things too difficult and breeds inconsistency. Enjoy!! By the way, I am definitely not a tour pro. Just stick to what I am good at.

| hmmm.. but wouldn't this create backspin on the ball and lead to a loss in distance? (if distance is what you're going for that is) |

We do not compress it like an iron. The ball position is more forward so we make contact at apex of swing. We just dont lean back and sweep up on it as is with a LSS.

so, the difficult and inconsistent LSS is occupying the 1st to 19th spots?
i just wanna be sure  |
It is purely a numbers game. On that tour maybe 5 doing RSS, 200 + doing LSS. I think for a small guy (5 foot 4) he is doing pretty well. |

| i dun think it is fair to classify all into either RSS or LSS.... there are juz too many types of swings all there... how about one not-right and not-left sided swing? to each his individual, and what works best for him/her.... you juz have to look at the merits of RSS, and if it works for you, good for you.... |

Just to clarify, a LSS is one where the left side of the body, i.e the hip and shoulder move away from the target on the backswing. A RSS is one where the right side of the body moves away from the left side of the body. Majority of swings are LS even though they all may look different. It is a result of the lateral weight transfer and the shoulder turn. Stack and Tilt may be the only other variation. Hope this clears things up. |

| I watch the Sports School students training last week with this RSS. Wow..hit so good. It looks very simple and the coaches making a lot of sense. They are using a lot of mirrors and impact bag. Some students so small but still can hit very far. |
