You made my day with the speedy response sir. You restored my confidence in what I have been working on for about a year now when I became your disciple. The phrase ‘ROTATION WHILE HOLDING ” is so instructive and more convincing is the word “TRUST” the ROTATION ALONE that it will do the striking better if properly understood and done without trying to hit. In fairness to your lessons and my efforts my golf has really improved and I play it even like the pros. I am very happy with my game. These questions and clarifications are just to understand better the things to do right and be convinced that they are the right things to do. In our environment every unconventional change is often criticized. So you have to be sure so that you may stick with it even when you’re still struggling. I thank you sir for your PATIENCE with us….your troublesome disciples.Femgolf1 Apr 06, 2021
On bowing of the left wris sir, I grip fairly strong. Is it after the griping that I try and bow / flatten the left wrist or I keep it bowed right from gripping which kind of extends or down cork the radial joint? I find it difficult to bow or flatten the left wrist with the slightly strong grip I am using now. I want to cooperate with everything and anything that will help me out of FLIPPING. Please help with this CRUCIAL issue.Femgolf1 Apr 04, 2021
Always grateful for your quick response. I will keep to the lesson irrespective of the pressure on course. Maybe tournament pressure was responsible. Your method guarantees consistency. I know I will get it back pretty soon . Thanks Ross.Femgolf1 May 05, 2021
Are the videos for membership only. How can one pay to access them if one must pay. I am in Nigeria, West Africa. I really want to watch the Stop- ROTATE video.Femgolf1 May 05, 2021
Please explain to me fuller what you mean by ” no need for the whole swing, just start “in our discussion . This will help my practice and conviction. Thank you so much sir.Femgolf1 May 05, 2021
In your response above ” no need for the whole swing just the start….” Please explain sir. I use the SHOULDERS alone for the whole backswing!!Femgolf1 May 05, 2021
Which one is the Stop Rotate drill. I have been doing the others.
Thanks for your PATIENCE.Femgolf1 Apr 20
Noted with thanks. I am improving and I am happy. The little little details that ensure consistency and confidence are coming together in 2years???❤??Femgolf1 Apr 20
Must the but of the club point to the left armpit at setup when the shaft is properly in line with the left arm.? I find this kind of hyper extends the left wrist thumb angle instead of the nice and comfortable position. And also keeps the club too erect almost perpendicular to the ground. Asking for optimisation of the Ross method. Please help.Richard Aug 04, 2014
In regard to the left arm stopping at 9:00, I hit my irons best with a “shorter”, more compact back swing. My son comented last saturday that I really turn fast thru the shot with Ross’ s method. Have broke 80 several times this summer and am averaging about 82-ish. That was but a pipe dream last year, so I credit Ross with making the game REALLY fun again. I don’t hit long with my irons (55 yards with my 6 iron), but I KNOW how far with every stick…told my son I don’t care how far but want to know how far I hit em. He hits a sand wedge…I hit a 9 iron…we both get the same result.In conjunction with that, I no longer carry a 4 or 5 iron, replaced em with hybrids…love em!!!
With driver, if I need a little more punch I drop my back foot behind me one “shoe length”…gives me a bit more turn…but I still use Ross’ s driver swing. I can get about 20 to 25 additional yards, but only do this if I gotta have it. Rather be in the fairway fer-sher than risk a wayward shot.

My left arm “only” goes to 9:00 as well – I had the same question. The club stops short of perpendicular to the ground if I am moving my chest/torso only (arms stay connected).
Takes sometime to get over the urge to overswing, shift weight etc. But once it starts clicking it’s totally awesome. I am not lacking distance at all now that I actually finish up on my right toe and rotate through the ball vs. stopping my hips and throwing my arms through, which now feels like a very “weak” move to me.louman Jul 29, 2014
It seems when I set up with Shaft in line with front arm and pointing to my left arm pit that my shoulders are setup wide open. Is this correct or may this be whats causing my misses to be massive slices? What am I doing wrong?Thanks.

Thank you for the response. Maybe I am not flexible – but on the backswing by turning my shoulders I can only get my arms to 9 0’clock without changing anything in my arm position – is this far enough?Also re angle for arm & where to place ball this seems like a lot of guesswork & trial & error – I thought this system was going to help me have something repeatable? Did I not see something about a ball in line with your hip?
I am also a bit concerned if I am not getting this right & I go for a lesson that a pro will take me back to “regular” swing
I thought I understood set up apart from ball placement & angle to the ball – now I am a little more confused! Sorry!
