I just can not get past this ridiculous problem on the downswing. When I get to the top by turning with my hips and core I immediately shift my tailbone left like Brian says. The problem is they go left but my shoulder dips down. That sounds fine and in line with the TGM right shoulder principle but the kicker is not the left slide its the turn.

My downswing is completely lateral (left hip slides left, left shoulder raises, right shoulder drops), however, I just dont turn from there. My right shoulder drops low and inconsistant contact is a result. If I consciously try to turn to the right after my initial move left, my right shoulder feels as if it is moving out and over. My backswing is initiated by a drag away with my hips and I have virtually no slide back off the ball just a bump and turn - right leg straightens a bit) and my position at the top is golden - flat left wrist. I really just need drills or the proper feel of the downswing pivot. Tried the frisbee throw and feels great without the damn club, then I pick up the club and nada!!!

I have purchased all the shorts and building blocks which are outrageously GREAT!!! I understand the basic principles of Brian's method and truly believe in them. I just need to get over this lateral shift without a turn.

Brian,

OKAY, just got finished watching it with some pauses to practice the concept of up the wall. A few questions/comments though:

1. I am a swinger by nature and use that drag away clubface method because it helps me to float load. Does this principle of up the wall, down and then left contradict the swinging principles of lazy arms, turn with your shoulders/hips? If hitting would be better for me considering my problem at the beginning of the post, then I will switch, however, I will need to learn it!!! Don't really know the hitting concept at all.

2. Since Im new to TGM, I have trouble with the concept of sliding my hips right as I was always told to NEVER SLIDE OR INCONSISTANT BALL STRIKING WILL ARISE!! Now considering you know what your talking about and Im just a student of the game, if you say its okay than I will do nothing but practice it and learn it.

3. Will this method cause an OTT/glancing blow to the ball?

It may feel to me as if it will cause the OTT because Im not used to feeling my shoulder out and on plane, since it has always been dropped and behind the plane. Make sense at all?

Can't thank you enough for the response and all of your efforts toward making this game easy!!! PERIOD..
