I am someone who has, more or less, a classic OTT looking type move down into the ball. My shoulders are perhaps too active too early and the hands sort of move out to the ball, I am wondering if a better feeling, for me, is to resist the shoulders opening on the DS.
When I had a lesson with Kevin Shields one of things that I felt was a "smallness" to the golf swing. The term we coined was "quiet chest." That is to say it was the arms that provided the initial acceleration and the shoulders sort of responded to that motion. They are pulled around instead of throwing the arms/hands out to the ball.
Does anyone else experience this? I wonder if a better feeling is the idea of actually trying to hit the ball with "square" shoulders at impact. I'd imagine it's going to feel like the arms are leading and will "pass" the torso at impact. The upper body, then, follows and is responding to being pulled around by the hands whipping the club through (?)
