Shoulders.
Master - (Changed - 04/09/2008)
If you are experiencing very erratic golf shots, it is probably
because you have fallen in to habit of simply lifting the arms/golf
club to the end of the back swing movement -- instead of holding
the upper body unit tightly together and literally using the rotational
movement of the compact upper body unit to push the passive arms
to the end of the back swing movement.
(To a casual observer, a golf swing performed by a golfer who lifts
the arms to the end of the back swing movement will appear to be
quite normal, this is because the shoulders automatically follow
the movement of the arms.)
Therefore from the moment you begin the golf swing you must
make a conscious effort to use the rotational movement of the upper
body unit to literally push the passive arms to the end of the back
swing movement .
As soon as the left foot is pressed to
the ground, the hips begin to aggressively rapidly rotate/pivot/sway
towards the target area which forces the compact upper body unit
to rotate around the central core of the spine, thus automatically
rotating the shoulders back to the original address position.
Therefore it is the skill of the golfer
to judge the movement of the compact upper body unit so that the
club head makes contact with the ball at the precise moment the
shoulders return to the original address position.
At the precise moment the club head makes
contact with the ball, the shoulders must be in the original address
position, the head
must be positioned so that the left eye is slightly behind the ball,
the hands
must not be ahead of the original address position and the weight
of the body predominantly over the left leg.
However as soon as the shoulders return
to the original address position they must be held 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.
As soon as both arms are straight the right shoulder
is forced to rotate under the chin whilst the whole body
pivots on the left leg and quickly turns to fully face the target
area.
