Right Shoulder Woes

[Timothy Slaught]

Hello All:

Any thoughts, ideas, drills etc....for the proper right shoulder action in the downswing. I was hitting the ball poorly and tried to emphasize dropping the shoulder down drastically with some good results but I'm not sure it was not just a bandaid fix. I think I may have been getting back to a bad old habit of firing the right shoulder out slightly which was causing some bad pulls. This was on the course where my tension level is always higher than the range. On the course the tension I feel is usually in the shoulders. I do not seem to have this problem at the practice range. Is it possible that the excess tension I feel on the course is causing me to throw the shoulder out?

Thanks,
Tim

Hi Tim,

Jack Nicklaus suggested that you imagine your left shoulder is pushed against a wall in the down swing, this makes you pull your right shoulder down under your chin.
