Follow Through Alignments GM#28

I notice that the lower the right shoulder is the further my hands must move before both arms become straight. At Impact Fix (for a short putt, etc.) I notice that my posture becomes more and more upright; more upright posture=higher right shoulder=less right arm=shorter travel distance for the hands. Am I anywhere close?

Thank you again for your help,

You get the concept now. However, remember that a Putt is just another golf shot, and ideally you should establish your posture, Head position, and other Impact alignments according to the routine in 2-J-1. This especially includes the Left Shoulder-to-Ball Radius as fully extended by Extensor Action (6-B-1-D). Therefore, though the Left Shoulder will be proportionately lower as the Right Shoulder is raised -- and vice versa -- your overall posture should not be noticeably affected.
