Ditto on that. The amazing thing about RST is that you have the Answer Key in front of you. So, the temptation is to think that it will all just gel beautifully right now. But, reality isn't like that. And, that's the frustration. It comes in pieces. And, you know where you are at any time. A little patience and diligence go a long ways. Drill every day on what you need. I'm just a shade under three months after the clinic. I've always had a top-driven, Chop swing. It's fine on short clubs. But, long clubs were never a strength. I'm driving the ball right now better than ever. Pipeline straight...not stupid long, but longer than I'm used to..one right after the other. The Chop is just about out of here. And, it's only going to get better. The RST Clinic was the best money I ever spent in golf. Period. If get half a chance, go to one. “It’s been an incredibly exciting, challenging, fun and frustrating experience all rolled into one.”

Can you elaborate on the rotation of your humerus and what drill you practice to refine that. Thanks Chuck.

I now know that I am best served starting from the begining and doing it correctly. I just like to still play but my Ego has gotten in the way as my handicap goes wrong way. I understand your message completely, thanks. By the way, I think YOUR swing is actually looking really good at this point!

I too have a left hip injury in the form of a labral tear (cartilage tear). This occurred 5 years ago on the golf course whilst swinging the Driver with extremely bad mechanics!!! Anyway, I'd be interested to know of the particular exercises/stretches you do for the hips. I have just started a new regimen with a personal trainer here in Oz and would like to do a core specific workout with lots of stretching. I'd appreciate any help you can give me. I hope to see you in Orlando some time in 2010!!!! Cheers, Neil. Hi Chuck!

This is something that unless you are a professional, you'll never bother with. You need to just work on a few fundamentals and get them close and keep playing as you work on them. By now, you should have many of the basics mastered since the clinic you attended in January. If you've done the stuff Alison gave you and have had 3 months to do it, you should be well on your way now and just focus on those things for now. When things get off, you need to know WHAT is off. Is the Bucket Drill what you need? I don't know, are your arms out of sync? You picked a bunch of random drills that have little to do with each other. Drills are like medicine that should be prescribed to fix things YOU need to work on.

If it is taking YOU 6 months, I now believe that this will take ME way over a year. I am going to keep working on the Tour model, but MY body is going to take a while. How do I (or you) continue to just play while you are going through this? I want to just go play once a week without worry about the RS2.0 stuff. Weight on the front side? Bucket Drill? Rotary Drill? If I use these thoughts to play wih, they aren't really hindering progress of the "new swing" are they? Or do you just keep playing with the new swing and suffer thru? Chuck,
