Has anyone watched the seminar in the MotionMemory4golf.com site? I am sorry if you have discussed this before but I found it and the discussions regarding the muscles that move us through the golf swing I thought was very helpful. The idea of pulling back with the right scapular muscles and obliques really helped me with the pivot Brian talks about that easily turns the back to the target but keeps the weight centered enough to "fall" back onto the left foot. The first 3 segments are helpful and the last of the 6th and the 7th are as well. What do the doctors in this group think of the orthopaedist's comments re: the "extension" (my term) of the left shoulder joint to be a movement to avoid?

I do not know any more of the theory, but those ideas have helped me too. Before I was trying too much to push myself around. Keeping the shoulder blades down and just pulling around seems to stabilize things too.

Me too and I see a lot of parallels with stuff I learned here and from BM like:
Making a back swing with the body not the arms (compressing the back clavicle and pulling with the obliques).
Weight on heels and pivoting into your forward heel.
Forward shoulder back and up (easy when the forward swing is triggered by compression of the forward clavicle followed by a pull by the obliques).
No pop out - compressing the back clavicle ensures your back swing remains tight and compact.
Forget about the flying elbow myth. Start thinking about preventing a flying clavicle instead.
Thanks for the link. Good, practical advice. She also quite cheerily explodes a lot of swing myths. Reminds me of someone.
