Stop SABOTAGING Your Swing & Start Moving Your Lead Shoulder like a PRO! 🙅
Mike Granato and Shaun Webb of Athletic Motion Golf demonstrate how to move the lead shoulder like a professional by focusing on lateral movement across the body rather than a downward 'crunch.' They reveal that tour pros move their lead shoulder an average of 12 inches across and point their shoulder line four feet beyond the ball. Using the 'Left-Handed Handshake' technique, this video helps golfers avoid a steep swing path and improve dynamic sequencing.
Amateurs often move the lead shoulder straight down, whereas pros move it significantly across the body (approx. 12 inches).
A major swing killer is the 'concept' of pointing the lead shoulder at the golf ball; pros actually point their shoulders 48 inches beyond the ball.
Allowing the head to move laterally about half a head-width to the right is necessary for proper shoulder rotation.
A steep shoulder turn in the backswing creates an 'over the top' downswing that requires difficult body compensations.
The 'Left-Handed Handshake' feel is the most effective way to internalize the correct across-body shoulder motion.
