Fran Dechaine, use to be the head of the golf school in Sun City FL. He had a method of seperating hitters from swingers. One idea was to look at the right shoulder on the finish of the swing. It should be closer to the target than the left shoulder. He would get a student to try to hit with the right side and try to get the right shoulder closer to the target than the left shoulder. He would then have the student try to get the right shoulder closer to the target by pulling the left shoulder back and out of the way. Sometimes a student could add 20 yards by pulling the left should back. You have great post. Thanks, Donn dkerby View Public Profile Send a private message to dkerby Find all posts by dkerby
