Shoulder Muscles. (Changed - 31/12/2008)

The "Deltoids" are a group of muscles that surround the shoulder joints and it is this group of muscles that 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.

However as soon as the shoulders begin to rotate into the down swing movement, the inertia effect will immediately cause the passive arms to lag behind the rotational movement of the shoulders. Therefore just before the shoulders return to the original address position, the group of muscles around the left shoulder begin to pull the passive arms into the contact area thus counteracting this lagging effect.

However this pulling action by the shoulder muscles must be controlled so that the club head makes contact with the ball at the precise moment the shoulders are parallel to the target line, thus counteracting the inertia effect upon the arms, but the shoulder muscles must continue to pull the passive arms through the contact area whilst the shoulder are parallel to the target line thus forcing the right arm to adopt the fully straightened position.

From this moving sequence you can see that the shoulder muscles pull the passive arms into the contact area thus counteracting the inertia effect upon the arms, so that so that the club head makes contact with the ball at the precise moment the shoulders return to the "Parallel to the Target Line" -- and as the hips continue to aggressively rotate/pivot towards the target area, the muscles of the left shoulder pull the passive arms through the contact area thus forcing the right arm into the fully straightened position.
