I've fixed my problem, but I'm curious as to why my swing has success?

I made a slight adjustment in my swing which is allowing me to take the club back further and really rotate my shoulders. I hit the ball extremely well today despite poor conditions. With a cross wind, drizzle, and max temperature of 50 degrees, I was still hitting my 8 iron between 150-160 consistently, and even hit it as far as 170. The ball flight was very high, with a slight right to left. If I'm still not using my legs "properly" how is it that I'm seeing such solid results with ball striking. My grip is normal. Everything is normal, accept I don't (as far as I'm aware) properly rotate my lower body.

Dude... so funny...lmao.

For the original poster, sounds like you finally started using your full shoulder turn in the swing. That's a really good thing. I actually was working on this at the range yesterday, and finally started hitting my driver again (first time in 4 months I have hit the driver and not wanted to break it apart). Using your full shoulder turn relieves stress in the swing, gives you more effortless power, and helps correct numerous swing problems. In my case, my takeaway and backswing was not turning the shoulders. It was all arms and the right shoulder never moved back out of the way. Feels really weird right now to move the shoulders fully, but the shots were incredible. Way less effort. Another 10 yards on my mid-irons without even trying. You're on the right track. Keep us posted!
