The magical right shoulder?

[klutes]

I've really been struggling with my game for about 9 months. First 3 times out this year were horrid; seeing my clubhead out of my left eye on the backswing, overswinging and way way upright.

I happened to catch Brian's "Rounder Deeper Flatter" vid today about 2 hours before tee time in which he states "get that right shoulder as far away from the ball on the backswing as you can".

I keyed on that today and hit the ball better than I have in a long time. It was almost easy; power the backswing with the right shoulder, and get the right shoulder down plane on the forward swing. It worked from driver to putter. I had a feeling of calmness during my whole round.

I'm not saying it's the Holy Grail of golf, but I'll be trying it again next time out. Thanks Brian.

Well done, Brian, as always!

In general how far downplane should the right shoulder move on the downswing?

in homer's notes, he says to take the right elbow to the ball to get a right shoulder downswing

does he say right elbow, or do you mean right shoulder? seems when i did take the right elbow down, it did help give me a better impact position with my hands.
