I had always thought of driving the right shoulder to the ball. BTW I'm a swinger. Yes stilltrying, Please take a look at 10-13-D and the accompanying pictures. This is what the right shoulder should be doing on the downstroke. Anything other than "back" and "down" will mean that you are "roundhousing" per 2-N-0 and "run out of right arm" per 7-13 and have no follow through per 8-11 and 6-H-C. What do we mean by "back" and "down"? They have to do with Plane Angle and Attack Angle, because per 7-13, "When the Shoulder moves on the same Downstroke Plane as the Hands, it provides its greatest support and its best guidance to the stroke." Please see 2-C-0 in this respect: "Your main lines of defense are the Flat Left Wrist, Hinge Action...and a Three Dimensional Downstroke - that is, DOWNward (Attack Angle), AND OUTward (Plane Angle) AND FORward (Approach Angle)..." Referencing 10-13-D #3, which is a down the line perspective, the right shoulder stays "back" and did not roundhouse over the plane line. From a face on perspective per the pictures from 8-7 to 8-11, the right shoulder works down and then below the left shoulder, not stay level with or go higher than the left shoulder. __________________ The Singapore Slinger http://justintanggolf.blogspot.com Last edited by comdpa : 02-07-2006 at 10:35 AM. comdpa View Public Profile Send a private message to comdpa Find all posts by comdpa
