Right Leg Tuck

The correct movement of the lower half on the backswing is essential if you are going to shift correctly. In this video Gary talks about the angle of the right leg, turning from the groin area and how the right hip clears the left.

Draws and Fades

Hi Gaz,
It would be great if you could do a video on RSS shot shaping with your new studio setup. I think seeing the fade and draw ball flights from the different finishes using the same backswing would be very helpful.
Thanks mate.

The Right Shoulder Move

Understanding the turn and how the right shoulder moves is crucial in the RSS. In this video Gary talks about the correct turn direction and how to avoid stagnation.

High Right Side

If your Right Side stalls and is too high going back then it is impossible to get the down move right. Simon Tooman was a Tour Player in the 90’s and now playing really well with his RSS on the Ladbrokes Senior Tour.

Over or Under the Shoulder?

Is there one standard for the club swinging under or above the left shoulder? All your video lessons to me instruct me to bring the club over my left shoulder, i.e., between the tip and the ear. In contrast, I notice many of your players finish with the club exiting under the left shoulder, sometimes only chest high. This is especially true hitting a punch. Please clarify. Best Regards, Frank

Moving the Skelton

If you clear your left side early your shoulders have to counter-balance and become vertical or face to the right. This twisting compresses the disks in between the vertebra. It is the main cause of repetitive lower back injury in better players. In this video Gary explains why most of his players have enjoyed such long careers.

Power Punch

Dear Gary san, I’ve learned that the impact is everything in RSS, but I am just curious if there is something common to Bruce Lee’s punch motion with our RSS. It would be appreciated to talk a little bit more what you have seen his motion so that I can get more sense of the impact in RSS. Kind regards, Toyoki

Over the Camera Shot

Gary, I implore you to hit a shot over the camera. That is the one angle that, for me, will best demonstrate the left arm fold, the shoulder angles at impact, and the plane through impact. Thanks for your personalized instruction. Best Regards, Frank

Inside Wide Vs Inside Steep

A lot of good players get narrow coming down, they tend to hit it low and hook the ball. Understanding Swing Radius is the key to being shallow without pulling the club down.

Arms in Front

When the arms go behind the body going back the only way to come from the inside is by straightening the posture. In this lesson Gary gives this student more power and accuracy though compression.
