Left Shoulder

[johngolf33]

Can anyone shed some light on the purpose of the left shoulder during a full swing. If the geometry of the circle puts Low Point under the left shoulder, shouldn't we try to make sure the left shoulder is in front of the ball at impact to assure ball turf impact? Also could someone differentiate shoulder action with Swinging and Hitting?

FOR A SWINGER:

It is the TRUNK in the middle of the elephant's head (one "eye" is on the left breast, one is on the left shoulder blade).

The elephant's HEAD is WHAT SWINGS THE CLUB!!!

Very Important.

FOR A HITTER:

Keep the left shoulder from opening too much at impact, left breat "eye" still 'looking at the ball."

Thanks Brian! I really liked that analogy that you gave me last Saturday. Thanks for everything.

How do the Hands control the left shouder in Hands controlled Pivot? I know Ben says the Hands are guiding and giving the orders and the Pivot and arms follow the orders that the Hands give. Can you give your take on this concept?
