Any advice please?

Anyhow, I didn't ask you to do it.

So picture 4 is a backswing?

Head moved off the ball, 70 degree shoulder turn, left arm beginning to bend.... I could go on......



(As someone looking into S&T I'm surprised you could recommend a drill like this).

It's hard at times on here

I was trying to help Adey and his problem not yours J1. The exercise is to obtain a CORE backswing position, if you can get into this position you will have taken the club back on plane. From here you will be able to make a decent downswing, rather than being too inside, it wil be possible to turn a bit more if you have the flexibility. I did ask him to try it and let me know how he got on.

Adey is not a Stack and Tilter and I am not suggesting he should be. I guess the line of help I was using to help him has now been totally screwed

Adey,

I read what you are saying about your shoulder injury but I cant quite reconcile that you cant get the club back properly.

Can you just try this and let me know the result please:

Address a mid iron.
Take your left hand off the club.
Lift the club over the tip of your right shoulder by fully bending your right elbow. (keep your upper arm against your chest)
Turn your shoulders 90 degrees right.
Place your left hand back on the grip.

You will now be in a nice backswing position.

Just had a go at it socket. No can do matey. To get my left hand back on the club I lift up my left shoulder and end up with a movement like in my video.

Problem was I was told by the specialist that I would probably only ever get 70% of my full range of movement back in it. I have been having physio since January and they have now released me as there is nothing more than can do for me.

OK Adey, just a thought.

Cheers mate, it was worth a go. Maybe if I keep doing it then it might get easier if it is the tendons causing the restriction, as I did snap a couple and tear the muscle.
