How do you keep your shoulders horizontal?

Question

Good observation Lou. How do you keep your shoulders horizontal to prevent the slices and hooks? Have a drill or suggestion?

Answer 1

How do you keep your shoulders horizontal? One drill that i used and helped was having someone hold your shoulders while you swing. After doing that 10-15 times try by doing it your self.

Answer 2

It's all in the hips. Don't make the arms do too much work. Use the larger muscles that do not allow for much variation like those found near the hips.

Answer 3

On the downswing have your left arm travel at 12:30 to 1 o'clock from the inside out. This action will keep your shoulders in the proper postion.

Answer 4

before your swing, maybe at the range or something so you can practice it, warm up by doing a baseball swing with the golf club. swing like that about 3-5 times, and then hit the ball. just make sure that you dont dip down into the ball, and only twist your body, dont sway.

Answer 5

Focus on bringing your left shoulder under your chin on the backswing, then turning your right shoulder under your chin on the follow through. This helps me when I start to tilt my shoulders.
