Wall drill to feel the lead shoulder turn down

A no-ball feel drill to groove the lead-shoulder-down move: place your head against a wall, hold a club across your chest with the grip end toward the target, then turn your shoulders down so the grip end drops toward the ball. This automatically brings the lead shoulder down and gets the shoulders turning in a circle around the spine, with the shoulders roughly 90 degrees to the spine as the checkpoint.

Try it

  1. Take your head and place it against a wall or some object
  2. Put a club across your chest with the grip end facing toward the target
  3. Turn your shoulders down, focusing on getting the grip end down toward the ball
  4. Then take a club and turn the shoulder downward to keep the shoulders turning in a circle around your spine
  5. You should see the shoulders about 90 degrees to your spine

Why this context matters

A static feel drill done against a wall, no ball required.
