....Then, design a Pivot to Push the Right Shoulder Down that Plane while allowing the Right forearm to be On Plane during the Release and Impact Intervals.
That's along the lines of something else you said a while back;
"Going to the top of the swing should put your body in alignment to swing down."
That has been a major deal for me. It has brought me around to thinking things like "Why do you make a backswing? - So you can achieve proper impact alignments."
A backswing is a means to an end - no more.
So lately, I've been treating my backswing as just that, and the result is my head stays beautifully stationary, my old little slide right at startup is basically no longer a slide, and I can monitor my impact fix alignment through impact.
Hi Guys
Is there a drill I can use to practice the right position and move with the right shoulder.
I would really appriciate any help with this.
Also I am a swinger not a hitter so are there different drills for both.
Thanks

There are numerous drills e.g. shooting the plane line drill, but what I have found helpful is to locate where the shoulder would be for a properly executed follow though. In essence start with the end in mind! Follow though and the finish are not one in the same for a total motion stroke. Learning the differnce has made all the difference. Buy the Alignment Golf DVD. DVD # 2 is just drills divided according to the three zones.

This single drill got me to focus on my right shoulder and I can now feel immediately when I am not down on plane with my right shoulder. I took film after this drill and the difference is quite startling."
I have been using this drill with my students for quite sometime with great success. In fact, I gave this drill during my presentation yesterday on TGM to PGA Golf Professionals in the New England Section .
Rifle drill
Take your stance. Place a dowel against your right shoulder like shooting a rifle. Move your right shoulder down plane keeping the dowel pointed at the plane line.

It depends on which variation of the Shoulder Turn (10-13) you use. If you use a Standard Shouder Turn 10-13-A the grip may point more in front of you, where as a Rotated Shoulder Turn 10-13-C the grip may point more at the ball...choices.
