Trying to get the club shallow with body turning and applying speed later felt a different action in my left foot and knee pushing with the pressure weight going into my heel at a different time felt more complete not so stalled with my left hip thru imopact I did notice that I wasn’t grabbing onto the ground with my big toe and 2nd toe at impact felt more pressure into my heel earlier or during the downswing thru impact BIG FIND THOUGHTS? Working on the downswing drills Though you were going to send me an email

Hi Tim,
I responded on your other post. I hope it still helps clear up the shoulders closed idea. See below.
"Hi Tim, I tried sending you an email but it bounced, perhaps I have the wrong email address. Can you send me an email tyler@golfsmartacademy.com
Shoulders closed is the term I use for scapular position. Here are two videos discussing it.

Side saddle drill is a good one, it forces some of the arm and shoulder structure we're looking for. Sounds like a good idea to start. We'll keep an eye on the knee and see what happens with it as you work on your impact position. But right now it doesn't look like it's holding you back. But looks can be deceiving if it doesn't feel stable when swinging. Keep me posted, and if you get a chance, send me an email.
Happy golfing,
Tyler"
