The purpose of this page is to inform you of the facts:
1. Evidence that Eric Kaplan filmed full-swing instructional content for commercial purposes well before 2016, when Chuck claimed that I had stolen his ‘copyrighted instructional concepts,’ by subscribing to his website in 2018.
2. Evidence that the fundamental Chuck claims Eric Kaplan has stolen has been expressed this same since 1932, in Alex Morrison’s book: A New Way To Better Golf
3. Evidence that Eric Kaplan has been working with top doctors at The Mayo Clinic, and working with golfers with Parkinson’s on these fundamentals since 2000.
4. Evidence that supports that the anatomical absolutes Chuck
claims he developed actually stem from Alison Thietje (Chuck’s prior business partner who essentially gave Chuck permission
to teach her concepts in exchange for a 10% royalty, which he
never paid.)
5. Evidence that supports that Chuck’s first book, ‘The Rotary Swing' from 2007, teaches the opposite principles he claims the developed and owns, this material change indicates just how much
6. Evidence of Chuck Quinton’s shocking Defamation Campaign against Eric Kaplan.
Eric's Call with Alison Thietje (someone he learned from), where she states Chuck signed a contract in with her, that gave Chuck permission to use her research to develop Rotary Swing Tour in exchange for a 10% royalty?

A Note For Chuck Quinton, From Bernhard Langer
Eric Kaplan with Bernhard Langer, discussing posture and shoulder engagement on The Golf Channel. We have been applying the same fundamentals of posture, stance width, shoulder depression and retraction, pulling of the scapula, in every part of the same since 2014.
2. Evidence that the
fundamental Chuck claims Eric Kaplan has stolen has been expressed this same since 1932, in Alex Morrison’s book: A New Way To Better Golf
A. Secondary tilt; right hand off club, right shoulder back, bump
hip to target.
B. Centripetal force; and the need to start a swing via a pulling
action from a movement that has an origin closest to the center of your body [the spine.]
C. The swing is made only by one small group of muscles on the
right side of the body & it is that initial move that creates the shifting of the hips to the right.
I thought this was absurd…
3. Evidence that Eric Kaplan has been working with top doctors at
The Mayo Clinic, and working with golfers with Parkinson’s on these fundamentals since 2000.
Eric Kaplan’s work with top doctors at Mayo, and Parkinson’s patients date back to 2000.
1. Utilizing ‘shoulder engagement’ to prevent
tremors, as the action of depressing and retracting
the shoulder blades inhibit a resting tremor.
*A characteristic feature of Parkinson's disease resting tremor is its decrease during voluntary movements (Deuschl et al., 2000).
2. Hinging with weight centered under ankles:
When Leonard would get his weight over the balls of his feet, he would have the tendency of falling forward, by hinging his weight over his ankles he would be able to swing without falling.
3. Pulling from the right shoulder blade.
If Leonard
began his swing with a push from his left shoulder, he would fall off balance. The more centralized turn he could create was beginning the swing with a pulling of his right shoulder, specifically the shoulder blade.
Here is an old video of Leonard Redlich
Note: He has been unable to walk, let alone play golf since 2015.
4. Evidence that supports that the anatomical absolutes Chuck
claims he developed actually stem from Alison Thietje (Chuck’s prior business partner who essentially gave Chuck permission to teach her concepts in exchange for a 10% royalty, which he
never paid.)
The ‘Secret 2-Inch Move’?
Yup, Chuck took that from Alison Thietje
(If fact, here are Chuck’s own words about his work with Alison Thietje…)
Let’s explore just how much Chuck took from Alison, and see just how far the rabbit hole goes…
Pushing vs. Pulling
Here is Alison teaching Chuck the differences between pushing andpulling, in Chuck’s own certification manual!
Alison recalls that in her first lesson with Chuck he had a very wide stance width, he centeredhis weight under the balls of his feet, and he began his swing with a push vs. a pull…
She also recalls that before he started his online golfinstruction marketing company, he was selling snowboards. LOL

HERE ARE CHUCK’S OWN WORDS ABOUT THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN HIS FIRST AND SECOND SWING MODELS, in the next section on this page we are going to take a look at his first book, ‘The Rotary Swing’ from 2007 and dive into how the fundamentals he taught before meeting Alison where the opposite of what he teaches now.
5.Evidence that supports that Chuck’s first book, ‘The Rotary Swing' from 2007, teaches the opposite principles he claims the developed and owns, this material change indicates just how much of what he sells is based on Alison Thietje…
Alison recalls that in her first lesson with Chuck he had a very wide stance, weight centered over the balls of his feet, and began his takeaway with a push vs. a pull.
DID YOU KNOW? There is an entire GOLFWRXforum from 2007, in which Chuck was described to be a “sleazy opportunist who snatched up the ‘oneplanegolfswing.com' URL after seeing Jim Hardy on The Golf Channel… and then built a ‘oneplane’ site around it”…
6.Evidence of Chuck Quinton’s shocking Defamation Campaign against Eric Kaplan.
Chuck’s threatening emails to Eric Kaplan, telling him to take down his golf instruction website AXYSGOLF.com, warning Eric that he knew where he lived…
Chuck claimed that Eric Kaplan had subscribed to his website in 2018, and had stolen ‘copyrighted’ instructional concepts… and was going to sue Eric for millions if he did not issue a public apology in 30 minutes… The humorous part is that when Eric’s attorney was finally able to reach his, Chuck’s attorney asked for a week to familiarize himself with the case.
The problem which Chuck’s vicious claims is that Eric had stolen his instructional concept by subscribing to Chuck’s website in 2018, is that Eric has been working on these ‘fundamentals’ with 6 different Major Champions on the PGA Tour, including Bernhard Langer, since 2014.
A note to Chuck Quinton, from Bernhard Langer…(This is about as close to working with a Major Champion that Chuck is ever going to get!)
Chuck asked the 3,000 members of his private facebook page to comment defamatory remarks all over Eric Kaplan’s Facebook and YouTube Channels, Chuck promised to take them on a trip to Pebble Beach in exchange for their help… when in fact Chuck knew he was passing off someone else’s work as his own and didn’t want people to find out about it.
Chuck sent an email to his list of 300,000 people calling Eric Kaplan a fraud… claims that he had lied about his father having Parkinson’s disease, and that he research with top doctors at The Mayo Clinic working with golfer’s with Parkinson’s disease was a facade… yet again, the
problem is that Eric Kaplan has been featured on multiple major news networks highlighting Eric’s work helping golfer’s with Parkinson’s disease, since 2000.
Chuck posted a video on YouTube with nearly 16,000videos in which *(spoiler alert)* Chuck starts crying saying that he deserves credit for Eric’s work with Bernhard Langer, Miguel Angel Jimenez, Rory McIlroy, Patrick Reed, and Adam Scott… again, the absurd part is that Chuck claims that Eric had stolen his life’s work, when in fact Chuck signed a contract in 2008 with Alison Thietje (someone Eric actually learned from) to develop RotarySwingTour…
Chuck contacted the GM of the golf club where Eric teaches to tell him to not allow Eric to teach because of all the bad PR he was going to generate.
