| Re: shouder turn at the start of backswing Hi Samburk,
What you put into the takeaway and backswing you take back in the downswing, "with a little more at impact". If this was the case in what you are doing now you would only be using your arms through impact.
So, bearing this in mind: When you take the club away scribe a natural arc with your left arm while rotating your hands arms and shoulders to the point where the club is in line parallel with your feet, ensure you don't roll your left forearm too much, the right forearm should be slightly higher than the left at this point
Now allow your hips to rotate by around 45 deg so that the but end of the club is pointing directly at the ball.
Next allow your shoulders to rotate so that you have your back pointing to the target.
Allow your arms to carry on to the top so that you can feel the coiling between your upper torso and lower body.
Coming back you take all that back again: Arms first, then shoulders, then hips, then arms and shoulders.
The "little bit more at impact" is some additional hip rotation to clear them and a pushing through with the right side.
