When you fire down and toward the target with your right side (you mention your shoulder) which is a strong and correct motion, make sure that you are still staying behind the ball at impact. An active right side too early in the swing can throw your pivot ahead of the ball even if that initial move is down and not out. Make sure you have the feeling of hitting into a firm left side at impact then continuing to drive through with the right side while continuing to rotate your left shoulder up and behind as stated by another GTO member. Timing is key and based on your distances reported your timing is very good.

My 1st move from the top is rotation of the left hip LEFT and UP. When I move my left hip UP my right shoulder works down. This move moves my hands into the slot. From there, I now start rotating my right shoulder LEFT and DOWN. At impact, I feel as I am hitting into a very firm left side.
But what you said is very true. You need to continue to drive through with the right side while continuing to rotate. However, I feel that I need to continue to rotate my left hip. If I stop rotating my hips, I hit pulls and hooks. Sometimes I make that 1st move with my hips, but then stop rotating them.
