This video should help anyone who struggles with an inability to get the hands more forward at impact with an iron. The culprit is right arm and shoulder pull back (right shoulder retraction), which in transition causes all sorts of issues. Jamie’s overuse of his right shoulder to increase his turn causes his upper body to lean toward the target before the lower has a chance to initiate the forward motion, leaving the arm stuck up and behind him while his head struggles to stay behind the ball. The feeling needs to be that the right arm and shoulder do not help the turn and that all the stretch is from the left shoulder, promoting width at the top and in transition and a sequence that keeps the head in place while the lower body pulls the left arm into the forward swing. This allows the upper right arm to adduct, supinate and externally rotate in a timely fashion, which will eventually get the hands more forward at P6 and at impact.
