Right Shoulder.
(Changed - 25/08/2010)
It is absolutely vital that the right shoulder begins to rotate
under the chin as soon as the club head strikes the ball.
This will ensure that the movement of the right shoulder will
push the right arm/ passive arms/golf club swing to the bottom of
the swing arc.
Therefore to ensure success in this task the upper
body angles must be strictly maintained and the head must be
held in such a position so that the left eye is slightly behind
the ball position until the club head reaches the bottom of the
swing arc.
This is one of the most important basic principles of the golf
swing, not only to increase the accuracy of the shot but also to
inject extra power into the golf shot.
When this shoulder movement is performed
correctly it ensures that the club face remains square to the target
line for that extra distance as it moves through the contact area.
Please note.
Most amateur golfers do not maintain
the upper body angle
until the club head reaches the bottom of the swing arc, they only
maintain the upper body angle until the club head makes contact
with the ball, simply because they assume
that once the ball has been struck it is not that important.
Therefore as soon as the ball is stuck they begin to straighten
the body thus causing the right shoulder to move laterally towards
the target area -- instead of forcing the right shoulder to rotate
under the chin from the moment the club
head strikes the ball.
However you must maintain the upper
body angles whilst the right shoulder is forced to rotate under
the chin.
