Hi everyone, I am experiencing a problem with my right shoulder dropping on the down swing and making me hit fat shots. I can't figure out what I am doing wrong. This is only on the course mind you. I am hitting the ball pretty true at the driving range, but for some reason I can't get my irons going on the course. The only thing that I think it could be is tension unless someone else here has a idea what I might be doing wrong.

thanks,

martinbr

Your right shoulder should drop on your downswing. Maybe you think it's dropping too much? My guess is your fat shots are due to not getting your weight on your left side. Posting a swing vid with get you your answer.

I have the same issue. What's happening for me is that I'm trying to create secondary axis tilt (right shoulder down, left shoulder up) by tipping my head back instead of sliding my hips.

I agree with vangator. Practice sliding your hips to get your weight on your front side, and maybe even feel like the right shoulder stays a little high.
