Trajectory and Spin Rate

Gary’s Players launch monitor numbers look pretty similar to the PGA Tour averages. His players tend to have similar club-head speed and get the same apex or maximum height with all their clubs. This makes judging and controlling distance easier. Spin rate is really important if you want to do this!

The Old Models

Hi Gary, It was really good to read about your influences in the forum. I would really like to know what models you used early in your teaching and how you came up with the shape and covering the ball concepts. Thanks Patrick

True Loft at Impact

Tour Players try to launch the ball at about half the measured loft of their irons. To do that consistently you need to understand the concept of True-Loft and what a Release really is. In this video Gary talks about how impact and the follow-though should feel in the RSS.

Trimming your Wedges

It is very difficult to get consistent contact if you are steep and take large divots. In this video Gary explains how to trim your wedges and get better distance control.

Pressure in the Feet

A good way to tell if you are bending from the right places and have the correct Shape at set-up is by looking at the pressure in your feet. In this video Gary talks about where you should feel the pressure at set-up and during the swing and how you can feel it with this simple Drill.

The Turning Point

There needs to be a point where turn stops and comes back again. People who tilt and over-rotate lose their original angle and can’t get store-up coming down. Gary explains the turning point and his student instantly gets more power.

Finding Impact: Darren Clarke

Great ball strikers know the feeling of covering the ball and trapping the ball at impact. Finding Impact is much easier when you set-up correctly. Gary talks to European Tour coach Luke Ringrose about some advice he gave at Morocco Champions.

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.

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.

Classic Faldo

Nick Faldo had his Body angles and Sequence so good in his prime that he dominated the majors with his accuracy and distance control. In this video Gary analyses his swing and talks about what happened to it as he got older.

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.

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.

Club-Face and Body: Back to Basics

The relationship of the club-face and body is the key to consistency in the Right Sided Swing. To maintain it you need to master the basics.

Driver Fix: Zero Drag

Most Driver problems are caused by bad set-up angles and sequence. Gary stopped Michael Campbell hooking it by fixing his sequence. In this video Gary talks about the dragging pattern and how to fix it.

Jean-François Remésy

Jean-François Remésy is a multiple Tour Winner and is currently 8th on the 2019 Staysure Order of Merit. In this video he talks about his journey with coach Luke Ringrose and gives some advice on RSS technique and longevity in the game.

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

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.

Flighting the Long Clubs

Many golfers struggle getting their longer clubs airborne! It can be even harder when you get on a downhill lie. In this video Gary shows how to get your long clubs flighted with the RSS and where to position the ball.

Hand Path

Tour Players tend to have trouble with their path when they try to shape the ball the wrong way.
In this lesson Gary talks about hand path.

Left Arm Fold

People who go from low to high can draw the ball. In this video Gary explains the Left Hand Backhand Drill and how it can cure people who spin and slice the ball.

Arm Bias: Apposing Hands

In this video Gary talks about the correct arm structure and recommends a couple of Drills to get the hands positioned correctly at set-up.

Transition and the Bent Left Leg

It is very difficult to get the lower half working correctly in transition if you go under early. In this lesson Gary talks to Rebecca Artis about her transition and why players like Justin Thomas and Jordan Speith require such a different leg and hip action.
