Lefty,
What you are being told could not be any further from the truth --
Great players have side bend when they contact a ball, the tour average is 18 - 28 degrees of trail side {for you left side} bend.
So if bent the left side of your body lets say 23 degrees which includes the pelvis moving sideways the left shoulder will definitely be LOWER than your right at contact.
We should discuss this further, I am about to post a Back Extension Tip which should help you
