Craig.. My most common Miss recently has been as I try to start the downswing.

Craig.. My most common Miss recently has been as I try to start the downswing by moving my right shoulder down. My left shoulder is coming up and causing hit a thin or top shot. It feels that I'm rising up just a bit to make room for the club to come through. Is that because I'm releasing too soon and feel the need to rise up to get the club through or is there something else going on..eg dropping the right shoulder down too much causing the left to come up? Or both;)

Hello Steve. Make sure you pivot. If you just drive the shoulder down you may get too much secondary tilt if the trail side isn't driving. A good way to check is to hit some trail hand only.
