If you are struggling to make a full turn in your golf swing, you may be going at it all wrong. We’ve got an easy way to fix your golf shoulder turn issue. Do not pay attention to where your arms and hands end up at the top of your backswing. They do not have to be above your head; and your club does not have to be parallel in order to have a full, 90 degree shoulder turn.

Zach Johnson is a solid striker of the golf ball, and right in there in the distance category, and yet most viewers would say he has a short backswing. I can tell you he does NOT! If you look at his top of the backswing position, his shoulders are turned more than the accepted 90 degrees, he just doesn’t want his hands to get to high or disconnected at the top. This is a great model to use if you struggle with your range of motion; or you have shoulder flexibility issues that won’t let you get to the top of your backswing anyways.

Look at the white line across his shoulders. That is a full (over 90 degress) shoulder turn. Look at the yellow line. Notice how his left arm is barely above parallel to the ground. This is profound. Your left arm does not have to go way up to make a full shoulder turn. This is how to get power in your golf swing.

Golf Shoulder “Secret” Tip

I want you to stand up right now. Grab an imaginary golf club; get in your address position, and this time, instead of focusing on your lead shoulder during your backswing, I want you to get your “right” shoulder moving backward and behind you as soon as you start your takeaway. You will be shocked at the lack of tension you feel, and how easy it is to make a full shoulder turn.

The majority of golfers struggle to make a full shoulder turn in their golf swing because of undo tension in their “lead” shoulder. Instead rotate your RIGHT shoulder back immediately and low and behold you now have a tension-free, full shoulder turn.

Also, don’t discount your range of motion. Improving in golf by stretching is an effective and much needed approach, especially if you are an older golfer with declining flexibility.
