Thanks a lot Bigwill, AndyR, Bucket, drewitgolf.
Been working on your suggestions with my student.
Now the student says that he wants to stay on
the left side on the backswing, then drop the right
shoulder and hands, and then pull with the left arm
to get his pivot. I mention to him that a shift/turn
to start the downswing lowers the right shoulder.
He says that he blocks the shot to the right when
he does it that way. I think that he looks a results
rather than causes. He says that he stays on the left
side and does not have to make the shift. I loaned
him my alignments DVD and asked that he look at
yoda leaving the hands at the top while making a
shift. In prior posts, Lagster and bucket observed
that trigger delay can be greater if the right shoulder
stays higher longer, Ala Hogan, Garcia, Clampet etc.

So my student wants to start the downswing with the
shoulders and hands. I must admit that if he does not
do this he tends to come over the top. My way of
thinking is that you do not set the accumulators by
starting with a shoulder drop before a shift/pivot.
What a battle. What do you suggest?
