Shoulder Muscles. Master - (Changed - 05/09/2008) The "Deltoids" are a group of muscles that surround the shoulder joints and it is this group of muscles that allow us to move the arms independently of the shoulders. During the back swing movement the shoulder muscles remain in a taut condition thus helping to hold the upper body unit tightly together as a very compact unit thus ensuring that there is absolutely no independent movement of the arms during the back swing. However a fraction of a second before the shoulders return to the original address position, the muscles of the left shoulder pull the passive arms into the contact area thus counteracting the inertia effect upon the arms -- and then as soon as the shoulders return to the original address position they must remain in this position, albeit for only a milli-second whilst the muscles of the left shoulder pull the passive arms through the contact area, thus forcing the right arm to adopt the fully straightened position.
From this moving sequence you can see that the movement is timed so that the shoulders return to the "Parallel to the Target Line" at the precise moment the club head makes contact with the ball and as the hips continue to aggressively rotate/pivot towards the target area, the muscles of the left shoulder pull the passive arms into the contact area thus counteracting the inertia effect upon the arms, and then whilst the shoulders remain parallel to the target line whilst the muscles of the left shoulder pull the passive arms through the contact area, thus forcing the right arm to adopt the fully straightened position. ** To return to the previous page, click the arrow in the top left hand corner. ***Please Note *** If you would like to contribute to the future
