Roration of Shoulders

[irhyper2]

I understand that one should "rotate" not "Tilt" your shoulders in the golf swing. What is the difference? Does anyone know a place on the internet that shows video of the two? IF tilting is wrong, I am probably tilting!!

Re: Roration of Shoulders

there is a slight tilt of the shoulders at address simply because one hand is lower than the other when you grip the club. Roughtly, on the backswing, shoulders rotate 90 degrees and on the foward swing should rotate 180 degrees to follow through.

Hyper,

Stand upright. Put your hands together in front of your chest like you're praying, thumbs against your chest.

Turn your shoulders about your spine. That's the feeling you want. Bend from the waist, and turn your shoulders the same way.

Now stand up again with your hands still in place. Try to touch your hips with your elbows. This is tilting.

For even more fun, bend from the waist, turn your shoulders back, then tilt through. You'll really feel the error - especially if you turn back and through, then follow it by a turn back and tilt.

Thanks. That's as clear a discription as I have heard. Even I understand it. ERR Ah, try and touch left hip with right elbow, or--------? I do belive I have a "rotational tilt".
