So while tying to engrave an inside to out swing path, I'm dropping my RT. shoulder at impact and hitting extremely high, short, and pushed iron shots. Is there any drills or words of wisdom to help keep a more level shoulder alignment at impact. It is frustrating I'm hitting my irons close to three clubs short!!

Thanks Dustin

I have the same problem. I fix it by focusing on the position at and slightly after impact. It you let the club face stay open through the ball, and not turn over the face, the right shoulder drops through as the ball hits high. If you focus on turning the club face over, like you see in the pictures of pros right after impact, the arms should not pull the right shoulder under too much. Look for Chuck Cook vids for great swing fixes on youtube too.

What makes you think you want your shoulders level at impact? In a proper impact position, the hips are ahead of the shoulders and the hands are ahead of the shoulders. This necessarily means the rear shoulder is low and the front shoulder is high. Look at Hogan:

http://www.oneplanegolfswing.com/gol...ub-release.php Sounds to me like the actual problem is that you're losing your wedge. You can do this while coming over the top and have an outside-in path, or you can do it with a better plane and shoulder position and have an inside-out path, but in either case you're going to hit the ball high and short. -Andrew
