Hips & shoulders open at impact without roundhousing?

[bergsey]

At impact my shoulders and hips are pretty much square to the target line. Looking at pro swings their hips and shoulders are a lot more open at impact.

For someone who has had right elbow / right hip collision problems in the past how would you get them into the tour pro 'more open' position at impact without the right side 'spinning' out?

Is this just a case of needing to swing more left while making sure you make contact with the inside of the ball ?

Thanks

Hmmm....

If the right shoulder goes down plane, and your hands don't pass your zipper on the way to the follow-through, you'll probably be alright.

But...the "Manzella Rule" is that for every ONE DEGREE of shoulder OPENing, there has to be an EQUAL AMOUNT of AXIS TILT.

DEGREE for DEGREE!!!

Also, you need to FILL UP the imaginary "vertical wall" just left of your left foot with your hips.
