I've never seen someone hit the ball from a position rear of centre and have a divot that reaches past the left shoulder. Obviosly I'm not watching the right people.

Opposite the left shoulder as viewed from what angle?

Think about the circle, laying on the plane. The left arm from the shoulder down is the radius, but that doesn't mean that you are getting it to the low point, You could be throwing it away early or running out of right arm because of lack of pivot (turn thru). I think!
