shoulder alignments at impact
Should the shoulders be at the same height as address or should the left shoulder be a bit higher and more behind at impact. I have been struggeling with this and not sure which way. On one hand you hear to get the right shoulder onto the plane and then i have herd more of a clearing of the body with a stationary post. Could some of the guru's here assist.

Set up to the ball at address . . . now move your hips forward enough to get your right forearm in-the same plane as the club shaft . . .

What did your right shoulder do? What did your left shoulder do?

Report back and then we'll talk about what Mr. Kelley says.

Bucket Shoulder Movement
Hey Bucket,

What about your shoulder movements whilst attacking a
moon pie and washin it down with a Grape Soda?

Definitely concise, effective, efficient, and no wasted motion!!

Upp in way way way too cold to play Ohio

Come on Rookie . . . you gotta know its Hands controlled pivot right forearm pick up on the Moonpiegrapsodee. Alignments rule not positions.

Don’t know if that is correct or not!

That was a pitch shot I made and I think the photographer did a nice job, capturing a Flat left wrist & bent right wrist, Primary level in-line at low point, right shoulder down & out…and the ball was still there.

Thanks for the responses. I have been working with Rob,(Hunter) and we are trying to take out alot of the excess tilt i have at impact. The lower half is semply leaving the upper half behind. I have really been focusing on staying level through with the shoulders to help this problem but i am getting a little over plane on the way down. I have been hitting lots of balls on a downhill lie to get better at getting to low point. Now my divots are great and all the way to lowpoint but the problem is that 3 of 5 are pointing and starting left. Are there anymore drills or techniques that are known here. I have put a shaft out in front of me to ensure that my hands go under it thus keeping the shoulders somewhat turing around a stationary post. The shaft is just outside the hands as per impact fix and i hit balls this way to give me more of a visual aid while in practice. This ensures the left after lowpoint and also if the lower body gets out in front of the top half then i would hit the shaft with my hands.
