I implemented this drill into my routine months ago, and have found so much success. Suddenly, my swing feels so simple and effortless, as my trail shoulder leads the way. A few ways this has helped me in particular: 1. It ensures a nice, steep backswing, keeping my hands in and club out. 2. It improved my weight transfer in my backswing. Because the right should works back and behind my head, it ensures that my weight is more forward at the top of the backswing, which reduces any head or body sway. 3. The right shoulder working down naturally shallows my club AND forces my weight to shift back to front (hip “bump”), and forces my hips to begin to open before contact. I no longer need to think about these movement’s and their timing, as they’re a natural result of the shoulder working down. 4. Improved contact. The right shoulder working down, rather than around, makes up for the difference in club height caused by wrist hinge/extension. No more skulling the ball. As someone who was a multi-sport athlete, with a decent understanding of body mechanics, and coordination, this lesson was simple, yet game-changing for me. Thank you Eric!

This is such a great and simple concept. I have issues with a shorter backswing but the cue of the right shoulder going toward the ball on the way back is a literal game changer. The idea that from the top of the backswing to use the right shoulder to go down and progress through the ball also makes perfect sense. Thank you for the explanation.

This is a great session. I find that it works best for me to focus on right shoulder up in the backswing. The best combination for me has been hands aligned at address and right shoulder up in the backswing. This helps me hit solid shots. Thanks for a great video Eric!

Great advice. Now if only I can copy your swing!! But seriously, it does take some flexibility to turn that much both going back and on the downswing. It's interesting that many players when they start trying to do this, turning the right shoulder up and back with the head staying in line, they say it feels like a reverse pivot. I've had to overcome the same erroneous impression.

@lorimeyers3839 Жыл бұрын

This tip very well might work for me. I tend to straighten my spine, sort of jump at the ball and cast at times with the start of my downswing. I absolutely feel the sensation of my right (trail shoulder lifting and turning), but never thought about where it ought to be on the downswing. This will help me keep down, stop jumping at the ball and even help with the casting. I used to be a consistent 10 handicap, stopped playing for three years, went back to playing, 30lbs fatter and out of shape. I can barely break 95 nowadays, all because my full-swing shots are garbage. I think fatigue that came faster led me to compensate and that just became muscle memory. When I’m just practice-swinging with or without a club in my hand, it’s so fluid, textbook. But once a ball is down, forget it. I’m not confident whatsoever. Making it a mission to get back to more consistent ball striking and overall play. Booked my first ever winter simulator session and I’m absolutely going to try this.

excellent video. the right clavicle should turn towards the target in the hitting area. no one ever really talks about it; but, it is fundamental to swing. obviously, a player can't turn the right clavicle from the top. in the start of the downswing the clubhead moves away from the ball; and, then starts to move back round to the ball. and, it is at the point that the club starts to move back round to ball that the clavicle turns thru. obviously, a player can't really be aware of where the club is in the downswing. but, in the start of the downswing the muscle in the left side of the right forearm is fully activated; and, this activates the muscles around the clavicle, which enables the clavicle to turn thru in the hitting area. obviously with a shorter swing we can just go ahead and turn the clavicle thru in the start of the downswing. there is a diagram on page 50 of modern fundamentals that may give us a clue as to how important the clavicle is in the swing.

Yes. This is often not talked about. I also struggle with too much body “sway” in both directions. Shoulders too level. Not enough “tilt”. Too many people misunderstand “turning”, as turning their entire upper body around their waist. This makes the head travel way past the right foot, on the backswing, then way past the left foot on the follow through. Not a good look. And, definitely not a good way to have a consistent strike. However, if done correctly, you’ll feel crunch, and stretch in your obliques that you’ve never felt before, because you’ll add left tilt in the backswing(right side stretch), and right tilt in your downswing(left side stretch). Great video, Eric.

As I have often noted, I believe that more focus on the dominant side for most of us is beneficial. For me, I think that this is easier than thinking about getting the left shoulder down, then up. Great stuff. On a separate note, would it be possible to do a series, or at least one video focusing on what the *club* needs to do in the swing (external focus)? Thanks very much.

More and more, I’m finding that the more I let the shoulder rotation "drive the bus" in the swing (back and forward), the more consistent my shots are. I try not to force things with my hips and legs. Let them go along for the ride. Keeping left arm straight and wrists loose allows me to maintain lag longer and return to a more consistent low point. So, swing thoughts are more on shoulder rotation than anything else. Seems to be working Thoughts?
