Finding the Rotated Shoulder Component - New Swinging Pattern Component

[Delaware Golf]

Boy am I enjoying the Rotated Shoulder Turn...making real progress with the rotated Shoulder coupled with the right arm full powered Tomasello swing-a-ma-bob....feels natural with the right forearm takeaway. Crushing drives and hitting greens with precision....feels good with a three barrel hitting stroke too.

The rotated shoulder turn is very prone to being misunderstood. Esp if you do what instructors do on the golf channel...lol

The initial acceleration of the right shoulder must be onplane via hip slide to provide the onplane thrust during startdown and then and only then from that point should the right shoulder rotate around the spine from its tilted position to allow the left shoulder to get onplane for the followthrough.

If you think the right shoulder just goes downplane your in trouble. And likewise, if you think it just rotates your in trouble too.

Can anyone provide pictures of swing sequences that show pro golfers using a flat backstroke shoulder turn and a rotated shoulder turn?

Thanks

Then what does it do?

The shoulder first goes downa and then through on plane.
Very interesting analysis, DG. Very interesting.......

Read the part that you didn't quote.

The initial acceleration from the right shoulder going downplane via hip slide 'spins the flywheel' with its onplane thrust and motion during the initial start down, only then you go to a rotated shoulder turn.

Thanks Mathew, I get what you are saying now. I wasn't trying to be difficult, just wanted some more clarification, which you provided. Thank You.

In essence, the soulder goes down plane via the hip slide and then rotates. Correct?

Is the precaution unique to the RST and is there a difference if the player is using the TSP angle and locates it with a RST. That is, other than the steepness of the plane angle is there a hip slide difference between Flat-On Plane and RST-On Plane?
