Level Shoulder turn?

[Jim Kobylinski]

Should your shoulders be level or have some tilt to them when you are done with the backswing pivot?

Also how do you recognize when you are becoming too steep in your shoulder turn? Anything to watch for?

Level to the GROUND?

level as in not steep lol...

You know getting the right shoulder to high in the backswing that it makes it difficult to get it to go back downplane.

Just trying to make sure i'm not dropping my left shoulder during the backswing like i used to.

To accomplish the "On Plane" shoulder turn of 10-13-D, you need to employ the Flat Shoulder Turn of 10-13-B. This will feel as though your right shoulder just moves 'back' to the plane. It doesn't go UP, nor does your left shoulder tip down. Just pick the club up and let the right shoulder move back.

The easiest way to "Do It Right" is to make sure the base of your NECK doesn't go FORWARD on the backswing.

 

[nevermind]

is there a pic anywhere online of someone doing the Flat Shoulder Turn?

Great....checked it with someone along with the "piano hands" and everything's alllll good.

Was at the range last night testing out a new wedge and for not hitting balls for almost a month both my wedges and 6 iron were MONEY.

I might be getting a new job soon brian so looks like i'll still be coming down to see you in the spring again.

The REASON I sometime PREFER a through the SPINE pivot center, instead of a THROUGH THE HEAD pivot center is because.......sometimes....
