Chest out or rounded shoulders while swinging?

[speedracer68]

I was wonderin how the shoulders should be while set-up and swing..should i have my chest sightly out like i were just standing straight or should i have my shoulders slightly rounded towards the ball..

depends. some people have such an obsession with keeping their head down, they need to push their chest out, and so do those people who have severely bent backs. whereas, those who arch their backs too much, they probly need to let their shoulders round a little

Rounding you shoulders at address does have some advantages for the amateur player..
It deminishes the pulling effect of arm/clubhead weight in the hitting zone...i.e. the weight of your arms and clubhead swinging in a circle effecively make your arms longer than they were at address....
