Hi JulesC,

I say welcome even though I'm not one of the hosts

The shoulder turn is ideally flat through the back stroke.

On the down stroke the right shoulder should be turned on the swing plane, initially aiming at the ball. Of course this requires some work from hips, knees and feet so you get the appropriate forward and turn hip motion.

The fast transition you mention refers to 10-20-C Shoulder Turn Throw. Sharp initial accceleration of the Shoulder Turn against the #4 PP loading of the Left Arm automatically throws the Left Arm off the chest when the Pivot acceleration subsides.

Whether you get a fast transition will to a large degree depend on how soon your lower body starts the downswing. The fast loading action happens partly because the lower body starts the downswing before the arms and hands have fully completed it.

You have probably realized that TGM is a very right sided approach to the game. A lot attention is paid to the right side even for a pure swing. And not without plenty of good reason I might add.
