Turn the lead shoulder down for clean contact

Saguto teaches that turning the lead (front) shoulder down toward the ground keeps the shoulders turning on a circle around the spine instead of level, which maintains a relationship with the ball for consistent, ball-first contact and a divot. He frames the lead-shoulder-down move as the number one fundamental of clean contact.
