Shoulder Muscles. Master - (Changed - 04/07/2008) The "Deltoids" are a group of muscles that surround the left shoulder joint and it is this group of muscles that allow us to move the arms independently of the shoulders during the golf swing. During the back swing movement a combination of the muscles of the left shoulder and the left upper arm literally push the passive arms to the end of the back swing movement whilst the shoulders rotate around the central core of the spine. Therefore during the down swing movement and the follow through movement, if you want power and accuracy you must learn to use the left shoulder muscles in conjunction with the muscles of the left upper arm to force the passive arms to interact as soon as the shoulders return to the parallel to the target line. But importantly the elbows must remain as close together as is physically possible at all times.
From this moving sequence you can see how the shoulders are held on the "Parallel to the Target Line" albeit for only a milli-second whilst a combination of the muscles of the left shoulder and the left upper arm force the passive arms to interact thus performing the Key Movement and also swinging the passive arms/golf club to the bottom of the swing arc.
