Al Consoli, Rotary Swing golf instructor, teaching a student how to properly take the club back. Nothing like immediate results and another happy Rotary Swing student!
Steve Stricker: A Complete Swing Analysis Part 2 (The Takeaway)
Before I begin to discuss Stricker’s Move 1, it is necessary to briefly summarize how Rotary swing classifies the correct sequence for the Takeaway. 1. Golfer in proper posture, in the box with the lat muscles engaged. 2. Hips shift 1 inch right transferring approximately 80% of the weight into the right heel (right hip
A Shift in the Right Direction
I am extremely proud to be working with Hooters Tour Professional Kris Lim. Kris is an extraordinary young man, whose desire to excel is only exceeded by his desire to understand the fundamentals of the golf swing. Kris did not come to the Rotary Swing Golf Academy looking for quick fixes to improve his game

Why Can’t I Stay Centered?
I am entering my seventh month as a certified RST instructor, and the number one issue that I see plaguing my students is the ability to minimize head movement and stay centered during the swing. While it may seem benign enough, I can tell you this problem destroys speed, power, and efficiency of the golf
Learning Proper Weight Shift…from a Frisbee?
Rotary Swing students must have a firm understanding of one of the key goals of the swing model, to utilize a proper right to left weight shift (for righties) just as we would in any other throwing or hitting sport. Most amateur golfers underestimate the importance of this simple yet critical step in the golf
The Secret to Your Success…
I have been playing the game for 27 years, and I have the calluses to prove it. Back in my amateur days, I was fortunate enough to live on a golf course, and I had the time to spend hours on the range perfecting my swing. I would rise at the crack of dawn and

Missing “The How”
“If I stop learning today, I will be teaching badly tomorrow.” (Unknown) Good advice from a relative unknown wouldn’t you say? OK. Vegas is not in my future, maybe I better leave the humor to the professionals. When I began to pursue my dream of teaching the game that my grandfather forced me to
A Sudden Noise
I was in the yard the other day, praciticing Move 1 with a folding mirror. It would, I often muse, be easy to dismiss the takeaway as a mystery of the universe. But, determination is wonderfully oblivious. In a full sweat I was doing takeaways in slow motion, over and over and over. Out of
Of Father’s Day and Golf
Numerous times today the broadcasters at the US Open will discuss golf and Father’s Day. In the collective national memory, we are supposed to have many fond memories of schlepping around the course with Dear Old Dad. Of course, that’s not the case for all of us. I only have one. Pop has been gone
Reality Check…This is a tough one to post
This past weekend I slammed smack dead into that wall called reality. I played in the Virginia State Amateur qualifier at Kingsmill on their woods course (not the River that the LPGA plays on) and to be kind to myself it was not pretty. I have got my handicap index down to 7.3 from a
Why Hank Haney Failed with Charles Barkley on The Golf Channel
First off, allow me to say that I have a great deal of respect for Hank Haney’s ideas around swing plane. The idea of parallel planes is an original idea in my opinion that I had not heard before Haney, so I give him credit with the idea. That being said, his idea that he
