In the training course in the Full Swing section, as a hitter, Day 21 has three drills, as a swinger two. I'm sure there's some stuff in the pitch section too.
In the video vault, check out "Role of the Right Shoulder", "Shoulder Turn Throw" although the right shoulder is not mentioned specifically, "Right Shoulder Motion - Hitting vs Swinging", "Right Shoulder Direction".
I'm sure it's mentioned in several other vids about pivot and downstroke too.
Hi Guys
Is there a drill I can use to practice the right position and move with the right shoulder.
I would really appriciate any help with this.
Also I am a swinger not a hitter so are there different drills for both.
Thanks

There are numerous drills e.g. shooting the plane line drill, but what I have found helpful is to locate where the shoulder would be for a properly executed follow though. In essence start with the end in mind! Follow though and the finish are not one in the same for a total motion stroke. Learning the differnce has made all the difference. Buy the Alignment Golf DVD. DVD # 2 is just drills divided according to the three zones.

This single drill got me to focus on my right shoulder and I can now feel immediately when I am not down on plane with my right shoulder. I took film after this drill and the difference is quite startling."
I have been using this drill with my students for quite sometime with great success. In fact, I gave this drill during my presentation yesterday on TGM to PGA Golf Professionals in the New England Section .
Rifle drill
Take your stance. Place a dowel against your right shoulder like shooting a rifle. Move your right shoulder down plane keeping the dowel pointed at the plane line.

It depends on which variation of the Shoulder Turn (10-13) you use. If you use a Standard Shouder Turn 10-13-A the grip may point more in front of you, where as a Rotated Shoulder Turn 10-13-C the grip may point more at the ball...choices.
