Are you struggling to get huge power in your golf swing?…
Is your release killing your consistency?…
You may need more shoulder tilt…
The right shoulder (for the right handed) helps align your body for power and consistency and is a big leader in the stable fluid spine movement.
Shoulder tilt is necessary for correct, smooth movements and helps to align your body for a powerful release.

OK, so one of the things that I see people struggle with a lot as they’re trying to get the proper spine tilt and develop a good stable, fluid spine throughout the swing is to get the shoulder tilt correct.
What we can do to imagine this, let’s imagine if I’m standing straight up and down that my spine is straight up and down, just like this club, and my shoulders would be perpendicular to this, and my shoulders would be making a T with my spine.
As I get into my setup, I’m going to take this entire T and I’m going to tilt it to the right.
As I do this, you’ll notice that my right shoulder is a little bit lower than my left shoulder as my spine gets in the proper tilt away from the target at address.
So it’s OK to feel like this right shoulder is a little lower than the left shoulder. I want to make sure that entire spine is tilted though.
One of the mistakes that I’ll see people make is they just keep their spine straight, and they’ll do this where the right shoulder is almost the same height or higher, and now I’ve lost my tilt and I’m leaning to the left.
I’m going to have to change a lot of things later on in my swing to be consistent if I’m going this.
So that’s a very big mistake, a very common mistake that I see. Or if I’m going this way you’ll see that now that takes my right shoulder and kind of pops it out in front this way.
I want to have my right shoulder lower and everything’s going to be in alignment here.
So that’s a great feeling to have as you’re at address. This shoulder’s going to be a little bit lower and your entire spine’s going to be tilted away.
As I come into contact it’s going to be even more prevalent. So as I make contact with the ball, now my body’s tilted away from the target and my right shoulder’s even lower than it was at address.
So that’s going to help me to feel as I’m coming through like I can release this club as I’m coming into the straight line release.
Now my right shoulder’s underneath and that’s allowing my wrist to release and allowing everything to come on through the shot.
So having that right shoulder a little bit lower, a good key for those of you coming over the top or struggling to get into the proper spine tilt.
If you want to work on this, go ahead and set up, film yourself at address, look at your shoulder tilt, you’re going to notice a little bit of tilt.
As you come into contact, as you pause at address, you’re going to have even just a little bit more tilt, and that’s completely fine.
So good luck to you guys, get in about 100 reps, pausing, checking on camera, get in 100 reps just swinging, and then get 100 reps hitting a full golf shot.
That’s going to make it a lot more comfortable as you’re doing this to build that repetition and build some muscle memory.
I’ll see you guys soon.
