LOL.

I'm struggling to come up with swing thoughts to aid my hitting progress.

I have struggled with a fast start down, over the top move, and keeping my right shoulder moving down plane.

My current swing thought is to forget about the hips, forget about everything but the right arm to the right shoulder.

My start down is an attempt to get my right shoulder as close to my right foot as possible before I drive the right arm.

This keeps me from starting to drive too early and also gets my right shoulder in the proper position.


What do you guys think about that idea for a swing thought? What swing thoughts do you guys use?

Hi Grant,

Swing thoughts don't compensate for swing problems. Swing thoughts should be positive thoughts.

I don't want to be the one to tell you this; but, you're on the Elbow Plane; therefore, your Right Shoulder cannot "Directly" support your Right Arm Thrust while Hitting because your Right Shoulder is on a different Plane of Motion than your Hands.

Think of a Boxer throwing a Right Punch. He'll hit hardest when the Shoulder is behind the Hand. He can punch on a different Plane and often does, but it's not as powerful.

You need to adjust your Pivot.
