Hi Shawn, I can maintain my spine angle, but still get disconcerted when I spy the club head come over my leading shoulder (right shoulder, I'm left-handed). Sometimes even with irons!! I'm swinging past parallel & left of the target line (right of the target line for right-hander). Watched a slow motion video of myself, & although a lot of eminent golf techers say some elbow bend is ok, my leading elbow (right) appears to be bending too much. Also contributing to "chicken-wing" on the way down.

@mollydooka17 I have a couple more videos to help in this department; "Get Bubba wide; shawn clement" and "overswing and fast backswing; shawn clement"; You can also see my "Left arm straight; shawn clement" for a very solid way to feel the extension of your lead arm; Shawn

Shawn- if you have a spine tilt and you want to keep the club rotating around the spine, wouldn't there have to be some manipulation to make it look like it is on plane from a rear view camera...otherwise, I would think that crossing the line would be the natural top angle of the shaft?

@paularagon11 Great question and observation; the thing is that the relationship of the arm-club unit is one that gets placed by gravity and centrifugal force and the purpose of the body is to allow it to track by getting out of the way; which means that the body DOES NOT PLACE THE ARMS AND THE ARMS DON'T PLACE THE ARMS; they get placed. See "arms and body timing;shawn clement". "stop crashing; shawn clement" and "top view of swing; shawn clement" and you will understand; Shawn

Oops I wasn't finished. Does this go for all clubs and shots like chipping and pitching? Thanks. You are tremendous help.

I have the perfect video for you on this; "Short Game Chipping; #1 Most Popular Golf Teacher on You Tube Shawn Clement" video; and the quick answer is no, there is no pre-turn on chips, pitches and fade shots; Shawn

Hi Shawn, I would just like to complement you on you ability to relate you knowledge and your understanding of the fundamentals of the golf swing. I've seen quite a few of your videos and there is really no flash (use this drill to fix this fault) to them. The basics are the key to success! Thanks and keep up the good work.

Shawn,

An awesome oldie but goodie....this is a really good lesson here...

This video turned on the light bulb for me. I have always struggled with spine tilt especially with the driver. I never felt comfortable until I tried the position you suggested (hammering a nail).

There are many reason causing overswing, is not just spine angel. I can set my spine angel like what you mentioned in your video, but still make an overswing pattern.. The secret is not there....

Spine angle and rotation around the left hip socket you gotta feel it to believe it. Abosolutly incredible, repeatable contact. This is a very important lesson.
