A Malaska Golf Member dips his right shoulder down when he swings. He wants to know if there is a solution. Mike explains that it starts with the M-System, M1, right arm, and pitching. When standing on your left foot and swinging your right arm, your left leg pushes your left hip out of the way. This brings your right hip forward, which brings your right shoulder forward. Mike demonstrates this first drill by making a few swings. The biggest reason your right shoulder goes down is that halfway through the downswing, you push with your right foot. When you do that, your right leg takes off, and your right hip goes forward and drops your right shoulder! When you get your left hip out of the way, it pulls your right hip forward. Mike makes a swing, and as you can see, his hip doesn't take off, causing him to dip his shoulder. Another great drill is to stand on your right foot and use your left toe to balance. The object of this drill is to make a swing and not fall forward. Players who have the problem of dropping their shoulders when they swing will have a tough time doing this drill. They will find themselves falling forward and off balance. The reason is that they try to push off on their right foot too much and lose the stability of their right hip. Again, this causes the right hip to take off, resulting in you dropping your shoulder. Practice this drill without falling forward, then migrate to your full swing. Make your change in direction, so your hips don't take off. These two drills will help you feel what was supposed to happen in your swing, so your shoulder doesn't go down.
