I have been a loyal member for quite a long time.

I have been a loyal member for quite a long time. I am not getting a large distance improvement, attempting going to right side dominance, I am scheduled for an MRI on my right shoulder next week. I know my rotator cuff has a tear, preventing me from throwing a baseball more than 50 MPH. Is this the reason for lack of distance improvement? My best drives are currently 210 yds in the air.

Hey Mike, It is hard to say why you arent getting the distance improvement you are looking for. I would encourage you sending in your swing for review and we can take a deeper look into your movement patterns and see where power is leaking. Based on your comment, it sounds like you may be using right shoulder/arm too much and releasing early through impact. I know you have more than 210 yards available in hang time, and Im sure we can work to get you a little more distance :thumbsup: :smile:
Hello Mike. I lost a bit of distance when my labrum and rotator cuff were torn but it shouldn't be a precipitous drop off because you aren't powering the swing with the shoulder and/or arms. I would suspect that something else is amiss.
