One thing I did right in my old arm and shoulder swing was shallow the club.

One thing I did right in my old arm and shoulder swing was shallow the club back to the club at address swing plane. Doing it the lower body drop and shift did not seem to do it enough. Then I thought with my head drifting forward on downswing( instructor taught me to do that of course) that negated some of the lowering. I improvised the wall drill where I was hitting and that felt odd so I practiced that. Video shows some success. So is it just the hips moving side to side that shifts weight?

Hello Mike. The head has to move a little in the swing but excessive can be very detrimental to your progress. The inner adductors in the thighs will be responsible for pulling the weight. The whole body does have to move a little bit. Take a look at Learn Perfect Weight Shift in Your Socks Video. However, you are looking pretty good. If you can turn off some of the initial push from the hands in transition (throwing of the club) and stabilize the weight on the lead side (don't fall back in follow through). You will be looking pretty snazzy! :flagpin:
