As you perform the down swing movement you must totally focus on the precise moment the club head returns to the ball, you must stop the shoulders from rotating, albeit for only a milli-second and keep the weight of the body predominantly over the left leg whilst the passive arms interact, thus performing the Key Movement and also continuing to swing the club head to the bottom of the swing.

You will note that I say "you must totally focus on the precise moment the club head returns to the ball"

What I am trying to impress on you is that the club head must be swung through the contact area in a smooth seamless manner without any attempt to "HIT" the ball -- you must not focus on striking the ball, you must focus on swinging the club head to the bottom of the swing arc.

Therefore what you must really concentrate on is judging the swinging movement of the club head so that as the club head reaches the ball, the shoulders stop rotating, thus allowing the passive arms to interact.

Impact Position.

Up to this point, the club head has been returned to this position by using a combination of the movement of the hips, the rotational movement of the shoulders and the release of the torsion of the muscles of the shoulder region

However at the precise moment the club head returns to the golf ball, you must ensure that:-

1) The upper body remains slightly tilted to the right, with the left shoulder slightly higher than the right shoulder.

2) The shoulders must held on the parallel to the target line, albeit for only a milli-second whilst the passive arms interact.

3) The head must be held in a position so that the left eye is slightly behind the ball.

4) The hands in the original address position.
( The hands must not be either ahead of the original address position or behind the original address at the precise moment the club head returns to the golf ball, they must be in exactly the original address position.)

5) The elbows remain held as close together as is physically possible.

6) The weight of the body is predominantly over the left leg.

From this position, the momentum of the arms created during the down swing movement will allow the passive arms to interact whilst the shoulders are held parallel to the target line, thus performing the Key Movement.

As soon as the both arms are straight, the shoulders will resume its normal rotational movement thus allowing the right shoulder to rotate under the chin, whilst simultaneously the whole body pivots on the left leg and turns to face the target area.

Therefore it is absolutely vital that the head is held so that the left eye remains slightly behind the ball, the head is held in the Fixed Frontal condition, and also the upper body angles are maintained -- until both arms are straight.
