Shoulder to shoulder drill to resync your swing

The shoulder to shoulder drill: replace the lead shoulder with the trail shoulder, back and through, and hold your finish while staying in your tilt. The instructor says this keeps you from rushing your shoulders or hanging them back, so the torso rotates in the proper sequence. He turns to it when his swing feels out of sync, coming to the range with a 6-iron and taking a couple of practice swings shoulder to shoulder before holding the finish.
