I hope my question was clear enough. First when I say I have had lots of lessons with distinguished teachers, I mean since the age of 12 when I took up the game over 40 years ago; and I mean to emphasize the fact that for the first time only now am I beginning really to understand the golf swing and to implement that understanding into my playing (hopefully), thanks to TGM (which I had read on my own in the 70s to no avail I fear, and again with even less comprehension in the 80s) I am genuinely puzzled about the movements of the right shoulder at the start of the downswing. I have always thought of its movement as reactive to the movement of the left side weight transfer and the pivot, which isn't to say that i haven't screwed it up more often than not. But I am confused about how it can be responsive, passive, leaving the arms behind on the start down, its direction down and its movement slow on the one hand and the source of a flywheel action and quick on the other. Any help will be helpful. I have a penchant for analysis and so any analytic discussion of this will be warmly appreciated.
I am sorry as well that I have not scoured the website/forum fully and may well have missed a prior discussion of this issue; if so, I would appreciate anyone simply directing me to prior discussions.
Thanks again for your kindness.
