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. |
Right shoulder down and out...
How about my signature below?

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.
