The R.A.W. Method
A step-by-step method built on legends, addressing every aspect of your swing through proven fundamentals.
The R.A.W. method represents a systematic program addressing all aspects of the swing. Whether you're a dedicated golfer looking to refine your technique, someone struggling to break 90, or a complete beginner picking up a club for the first time, this approach meets you where you are.
Richard A. Wenz teaches a methodology rooted in the lineage of Harry Vardon, Ernie Jones, and Manuel de la Torre. The approach emphasizes three core fundamentals (grip, stance, and posture) to develop rhythm, tempo, and balance.
No athletic ability required.
The method avoids quick-fix approaches and swing-of-the-week trends. Instead, it builds on proven fundamentals that have produced results for over a century. When the fundamentals are right, rhythm, tempo, and balance come naturally.
Three foundational elements and proper fundamentals naturally produce desired outcomes. No gimmicks, no gadgets, just the same teaching principles that shaped generations of great golfers, enhanced with modern GOLFZON simulator technology for real-time feedback.
Real-Time Feedback
The GOLFZON TwoVision NX at GolfCube Social tracks up to 20 data points per shot and a four-stage weight-transfer analysis, backed by dual-angle 120fps swing video. Rich uses the numbers to spot what's actually happening at impact: a casting motion, an open face, an inconsistent low point. Then he uses the same data to verify in real time that the correction is working. Feedback you can trust, not just feel.
Club speed, club path, attack angle, face angle, weight transfer
Ball speed, launch angle, spin rate, smash factor
Carry distance, total distance, apex height, dispersion

The full swing. By this point, your fundamentals carry naturally to every club in the bag.
