Right Shoulder.- Master - (Changed - 02/03/2008)


Most amateur golfers do not maintain the tilt of the upper body and the upper body angle until the completion of the golf swing, they only maintain the tilt and upper body angle until the club head makes contact with the ball but as soon as the ball is stuck they move the right shoulder laterally towards the target area and also straighten the body up simply because they assume that once the ball has been struck it is not that important.

Therefore to correctly perform the down swing and the follow through movement, the head must remain slightly behind the ball and the upper body angles must be maintained until well after the ball has been struck.


But secondly the shoulders must be held "Parallel to the Target Line" albeit for only a milli-second whilst the shoulder muscles pull the arms across in front of the body -- until the right arm is forced into the fully straightened position -- thus performing the Key Movement.

 

When the right shoulder is forced to rotate under the chin in conjunction with the action of straightening the right arm, it enables the club face to remain square to the target line for a long period as it moves through the contact area, but only if you keep the shoulders parallel to the target line until both arms are straight.
