Right Shoulder.-
Master - (Changed - 26/08/2008)
The action of forcing the right shoulder to rotate under the
chin as soon as the both arms are straight is one of the most important
basic principles of the golf swing, not only to increase the accuracy
of the shot but also injecting extra power into the golf shot.
The right shoulder begins to rotate under the chin at the same
time that the right arm is being forced into the fully straightened
position.
However in order that this action can
be successfully performed as the follow through movement
is performed the head
must remain slightly behind the ball and the upper
body angles must be strictly maintained.
When this action is combined with the
action of using the muscles of the left shoulder to pull the passive
arms into and through the contact area whilst the shoulders are
parallel to the target line, it ensures that the club face remains
square to the target line for that extra millisecond as it moves
through the contact area.
Please note.
Most amateur golfers do not maintain
the upper body angle
until the completion of the golf swing, they only maintain the upper
body angle until the club head makes contact with the ball, simply
because they assume that once the ball has been struck it is not
that important.
Therefore as soon as the ball is stuck they begin to straighten
the body thus causing the right shoulder to move laterally towards
the target area -- instead of continuing to rotate the compact upper
body unit around the central core of the body whilst the upper body
angles are maintained, thus rotating under the chin as the ball
is struck.
However I can assure you that you
must maintain the upper body angles to the completion of the golf
swing movement so that the right shoulder can correctly be forced
to rotate under the chin as soon as the both arms are straight.
