Mr. Sulakleo: I strongly believe that the start of the forward swing is a simultaneous move between the upper body (shoulders) and lower body (hips). If the hips start prematurely... a WHOLE host of problems arise. If the shoulders initiate the forward swing... again... a WHOLE host of problems will arise. If you visit my 'instruction' page of my website... http://www.sevenunder29golfsho­p.com/PGA-Golf-Instruction.htm­l ... look for my 'On Plane Golf Swing' thesis (PDF file and Powerpoint presentation). This will explain MUCH more detail than what I can cram into this comment box.

Thank You.

does the start of the downswing start from the bottom of the feet,,, from the ground up,, as in any throwing sport,,,,good golfers have good footwork,,bad golfers do not
