Shoulder Spinout

[golfndawg]

OK OK.........I know I have posted alot of threads on certain moves in the swing so bare with me....But when there are so many moving parts or parts that don't need to move we want to keep it simple RIGHT?....

Question:

If one was to spin the shoulders to fast or to level on the downswing wouldn't that cause one to come over the top and /or hang back on the right side or possible chicken wing? I understand the right shoulder drops putting the club into the slot/position, BUT the left shoulder should not pull back CORRECT? Hope all this makes sense.

Re: Shoulder Spinout

Sounds like you are swing way too hard, just by the way you phrased the question. SLOW way way down and start from there. Do you go to the range?

Re: Shoulder Spinout

I think what I am trying to say is the shoulders are square to the target line at impact while the hips clear? Depends on swing plane?

Re: Shoulder Spinout

Logically the shoulders square at impact will be correct and true. However at that speed, you can't control your arm & hands that prefectly and if you try to consciously work it, you will lose it. You better off spending your focus on building a consistent swing plane and swing tempo to match. If you swing plane for upswing, downswing & followthrough are also identical, than your shoulders are probably square at impact too.

Hope that is of some help.

Re: Shoulder Spinout

I got back from the range and realized it was pretty easy to get into the position I was talking about if I just retraced my downswing from my backswing....Keeping my hands closer to my body on the downswing I was able to keep my wrist hinge longer and hit the inside back of the ball like we all hear so much about. My hands have a tendency to push out a bit also causing my right shoulder to push out on the downswing but instead of really coming over the top I would keep pushing out on the ball...Weird deal.

Good on golfndawg,
It's always a great satisfaction in figuring out one's own problem. Consistent swing plane is something I constantly work on.

Funny what you posted is what I was working on....

Re: Shoulder Spinout

The clubface needs to be square to target at impact but the shoulders may or may not have to be to achieve that. If you used the RHD for example you would need to have your shoulders rotated way forward so the right palm is square to target.

The swingplane will be set by the club length and your height, the swing path will affect the relationship between shoulders and target though.
