Does this mean the right shoulder would have a dragging, passive feel through impact? Accomplished how? I had always thought of driving the right shoulder to the ball. BTW I'm a swinger.

Yes
stilltrying,
Please take a look at
10-13-D and the accompanying pictures. This is what the right shoulder should be doing on the downstroke.
Anything other than "
back" and "
down" will mean that you are "
roundhousing" per
2-N-0 and "
run out of right arm" per
7-13 and have no follow through per
8-11 and
6-H-C.
What do we mean by "
back" and "
down"?
They have to do with Plane Angle and Attack Angle, because per
7-13, "
When the Shoulder moves on the same Downstroke Plane as the Hands, it provides its greatest support and its best guidance to the stroke."
Please see
2-C-0 in this respect: "
Your main lines of defense are the Flat Left Wrist, Hinge Action...and a Three Dimensional Downstroke - that is, DOWNward (Attack Angle), AND OUTward (Plane Angle) AND FORward (Approach Angle)..."
Referencing
10-13-D #3, which is a down the line perspective, the right shoulder stays "
back" and did not roundhouse over the plane line.
From a face on perspective per the pictures from
8-7 to
8-11, the right shoulder works down and then below the left shoulder, not stay level with or go higher than the left shoulder.
