In this video, you’ll get a very detailed description of how how to use the shoulders in your golf swing.

To show you how to use your shoulders, you’ll get a close look at Adam Scott’s swing.

He has one of the better swings on tour and is a great model for this discussion.

Note that you shouldn’t obsess over every single detail about your shoulders…

But the goal is to clear up any misconceptions you may have on the topic.

So I don’t want you to make a 20 point checklist about your shoulders and spend the next 3 months trying to get your shoulders to move just like Adam Scott’s.

Here’s a quick overview of what you’ll learn in the video…

Shoulders at Address

Your shoulders should be square to the target…

And your spine angle should be slightly tilted away from the target.

This will give you a slight tilt in your shoulders.

Shoulders in the Backswing

Your overall posture shouldn’t change much in the swing.

Don’t worry about the exact angles.

You just need to know that your spine angle and shoulders should be stable throughout the swing.

At the top of your swing, the shoulder angle shouldn’t have changed much.

As you’ll see in the video, Adam Scott does an incredible job at keeping his shoulders stable (again, just get the general idea; you don’t have to swing exactly like Adam Scott!)

Shoulders in the Downswing

As the lead arm is half way to contact…

Note that your hips should be rotating open more than shoulders at this point.

There’s a separation between your shoulders and hips that’ll help you whip your club through contact.

As you make contact, the shoulders will cinch together but are slightly open while making contact with forward shaft lean.

Shoulders in the Follow Through

Through contact, the shoulders and spine angle are still stable.

You’ll see that Adam Scott stays in posture well past impact; it’s stable to the point where his chest is facing the target.

Only after this point does Scott come out of posture.

He rotates so much that his chest points way left of the target.

You don’t need to be this flexible, but make sure you turn through as far as you safely can.

What You Need to Concentrate On

Throughout the video, focus on the stability of Adam Scott’s shoulders and spine angle.

Your consistency will shoot through the roof if you work on improving your stability and maintain your posture.
