Left shoulder-lock

A leader [left hammerlock]. A [closed] position variation. The leader stands face to face with the follower, but the leader is offset about one foot to the left of the follower because the leader holds the follower’s right hand with the left hand from a shoulder lock position. The leader places the back of the right hand on the follower’s right shoulder in order to lead a whip or some other pattern. This position can be reached by the leader by starting from an open position and performing a right-side pass inside turn with a leader clockwise turn without releasing the follower’s hand.
