13) Shoulder Turn
♦ Take your RIGHT Shoulder as 'flat back' toward the Plane as you can. The
LEFT Shoulder will then respond exactly as it should. YODA
♦ When the Right Shoulder moves on the same Down-stroke Plane as the
Hands it provides the greatest support and its best guidance to the
Stroke. 7-13
♦ Slow Start Down for hitters
To my mind the advantage of Standard Shoulder Turn, 10-13-A, Flat back
and On plane going down is that it allows for the shoulders , the right
shoulder specifically to take the Hands and club directly down a flatter
Turned Shoulder Plane. A flatter plane angle which would more closely
approach a shaft plane and therefor require less of plane shift to get back to
the shaft plane (or lie angle which we must for clean contact without any toe
up or down).
Homer realized we might not be able to get the right shoulder all the way
over to the shaft plane and in this regard he recommended we select a
higher plane if necessary. See 10-13-D.
So this sort of a shoulder turn, which seems weird at first in that the
shoulders travel a different path back and down, has some geometric
advantages to my mind. Assuming you sequence your Downswing properly
(6-M-1) ground up, the Right Shoulder will be taking the Hands down a
more desirable Hand Path. The selection of a higher Inclined Plane that isnt a
TSP can see the Right Shoulder take the Hands and club out over the top,
above the plane. A predicament some solve by dropping the Hands vertically
prior to turning the shoulders.
This Turned Shoulder Plane and proper downswing sequencing together with
Axis Tilt, a sliding of the Hips to Tilt the Spine and lower the Right Shoulder
is practiced with the " Downstroke Waggle". A really great drill. I do two after
a pull shot on the range and the pulls disappear immediately. The cure for
"Roundhousing". O.B. LEFT
