Hi all ,,, I wish all you golfers starting the downswing with the lower body good luck,,,,,,if all you guys would stop and think what part of the body had the farest to go I m sure it isnt the leg or hips,,,its the arms and hands. So I ask you what part should start first.ok guys let open the discussion on this

Sure, I'll bite. Watch any modern pro swing. Hips always always always start the downswing. It's the hip stall out that allows the hands and arms to achieve maximum speed - slinging them through impact.

I would say that the left foot, hip, and hands.

low tech has made a good observation on this hip stall ,,,,its been my observation that starting downswing with hips only serves to feed a ott move which most high handys do. if you start the arms down and let everything happen ,the momentum of the arm swing will bring everything around to the full finish ,when I swing this way I can fell my hips stall and then start turning again when the upper body turn makes them turn ,,,,,kinda like the backswing of a lefty ,,,,,,the momentum of the arms AND SWINGING CLUBHEAD bring everything to a full finish ,,,,with out any extra effort or manipulations ,,,,and I must say it is a good feeling,the swing thought I use is at the top of the back swing,,I try and swing the left forearm away from the right shoulder first and then just let everything rip and i mean rip,,,I can feel a lot more club head speed due to the lag that this creates ,this arm swing seem to tell the body and hips ,,,,hey we gotta turn and we gotta turn fast to get out of the way ,,,let me know what you guys think fo this after you try it dagoos
