Hey all, had a helpful swing thought I might share. Mostly came from Tom’s video about the trail shoulder and some helpful forum comments. The tilt turn extend in the back swing seems easy enough to accomplish but I just couldnt get that trial shoulder down in the down swing. As someone in the forum commented my down swing was all turn with no tilt and extend. So I was Working away and tried some swings with the “feel” of only tilt and extend and no turn on the down swing. I think I swung from the happy zone for the first time! And of course on video I was almost completely facing the target although I felt as if I hadn’t turned at all. Going to keep grinding but I feel like this is already helping me hit ball first. Just thought I’d share !

Great downswing "feel", @Tim Buhler!! That hyperactive trail shoulder is far more often than not the "death zone" culprit. Reign it in and you'll have regular trips to the land of ball striking bliss!
Nice self-discovery, and thanks for sharing!
Love it! Another example of feel v real. That right shoulder staying down and under is my biggest problem. Some days I have to feel like my chest stays down and behind the ball as long as possible, so my right shoulder has no where to go but under. When that isn't the 'feel' I have that day, I try something Tom mentioned in a video to 'feel' the right shoulder is dropping down to the right knee (I actually try to feel it at the right heel). Then other days I have to have my 'dead' right shoulder feel to keep from coming over the top. Whichever door I choose, on video it never looks as extreme as it feels, and the contact with the ball is all that matters. Thanks for sharing.
Great swing thought @Tim Buhler I have that issue too where I'm failing to get my shoulder under my chin and fully extend on the downswing. I'll certainly give this thought a go. Thanks for sharing.
