Turn the shoulder down

After the weight-forward and hands-around setup, the next adjustment was to turn the shoulder down and allow the right leg to straighten. The coach says shoulder down established a relationship to the ball and brought compression. He then names checkpoints: shoulders turning 90 degrees to the spine, club going in, lead arm on the shoulder line, hands behind the shoulder, and pivot space between the legs.
