Re: Shoulder and arm pain

nickwbryant - I know this is moving away from my initial question, but when you mentioned restricting the the hip turn and firming up your legs you hit a chord with me. I have hit some really good shots recently that I felt (half way through the swing) that my lower body was too static, however, the result was better than anything I had ever done previously. I took it as dumb luck at the time as I'm really trying to focus on turning my hips and transfer the weight to my right side - I'm probably over doing it, this turn probably contributes to me overswiniging (which isn't working out great for me). However when I tried to restrict things (restrict is a strong word, keep things compact) last night at the range - just letting a little emphasis on the right foot and this small emphasis just slid gently to the left foot and bang a solid straight shot.....

Was I overdoing the whole hip turn (I first started doing that to counteract a terrible sway I was developing) and thus overdoing the weight transfer? Is the weight transfer usually a very subtle sensation?
