open shoulder to square shoulder
Posted: July 3rd, 2017, 8:09 am
Dear Coaches
Hi I am back again with a question.
Kindly note that as I was practicing the other day I noticed that when I open my shoulder specially in the 3rd step and just before I slide and release the ball (very much like Parker Bohn III) I keep the body very much square, now the transition of the upper body is very much like a boxer trying to hit a heavy right jab when standing on the right guard.
The things that I noticed was much much better position 100% solid stand at the end, longer slide and better flat spot, shot accuracy pretty high, and most important (for me) late hand turn and more hand behind the ball, and much more speed (need to control that specially at the beginning with much heavier oil on the line)
but the thing is that if i want to do it I have to go with the weight of the ball, I am not sure that if I can explain it or not when the ball is starting its down swing and my left hand thumb down starts to move from 12 o clock to 10 and 9 that is when I am almost at the mid of my slide and my chest is facing the the front and my shoulder / ball and wrist is facing the target.
The one important thing is that this rotation may change your height a bit specially at the end because your shoulders are becoming almost square but you still have a lot of control over it.
One more thing you have to move slowly specially your first step is almost less than half a step because you have to wait for the back swing between the 3rd and 4th step, in other words you move with the ball at all times in other words if I am stating it correctly there is a drop in the swing which you use this way in you advantage.
Also that open to square shoulder produces massive power at the end.
The above was my experienced which I wanted to share and have you great ones tell me cons and pros of this as always I am open to all kind of suggestions.
Thank you as always and looking forward to hear from you.
Best regards
