On the forward swing if I try and hold the left shoulder at impact position I get a better hit. Seems like if I don't try and hold the shoulder it spins left to early. Does this tell me something about my swing ? Could I be lacking a full shoulder turn?
You may not be getting enough hip slide or doing it at the right time. Remember the bump that is needed, hula hula. Once the hip slide occurs, you the left shoulder goes up as the right shoulder goes down and forward on plane. If your right shoulder drives on plane, your left shoulder will move correctly.
Ben Doyle had me stand behind him and put two hands on his scapula. The shoulder motion is constant. What ever the feeling is in an illusion. Now the hips are another matter.

I been experimenting with using the hips more for balance and stability, less as a primary activator of the swing. The less conscious I am of the weight shift and just"allow it to happen" the better quailty of my ball striking.
The shoulder seem to be a different matter though, I been more conscious of my scapula as a power source to assist ball and socket motion of the humerus. Why would Ben want the scapula to remain still? I think scapular retraction and protraction is important part of the shoulder motion.
