Torque and Power in the Golf Swing

[Burner]

I think it works.

Esp. considering you pull from the left side.

Birdie,

I can see where you are coming from but considering that the left shoulder/arm, et al, are never on plane, but the right forearm, at impact, and the right shoulder, coming down plane into impact, must be, then the focus should be on them and not on an inactive, off plane, left shoulder.

Any downswing precipitated, and governed, by the left shoulder has to have an unacceptable potential for undesirable consequences.

I know what you're saying....in that the right shoulder is what you should be monitoring alignment wise.....but I think there something not right about actually actively moving it downplane in the downswing.....that's just me though I guess.

I understand there are some people who like to do this....I think Jim has said it works for him.

Any downswing precipitated, and governed, by the left shoulder has to have an unacceptable potential for undesirable consequences.

Ya you'd prolly be better off monitoring the hands a lot of the time....I think this is a doable thing tho. (without disasterous consequences or w/e)
