Is it the correct move to start the downswing with the left hip rotating back (not towards the target) while simultaneously dropping the right elbow down to the right hip? Then turning through maintaining the cupped right wrist. (Right Handed Golfer) Head staying behind the ball making a nice downward compression on the ball. To a nice high tigeresque followthrough.. Ok I got a little carried away, but does that first downswing move sound correct? I haven't hit balls with that thought yet, but It feels good just swinging..

Thanks,

Nick Acquaviva

Well I find that once I get to the top I pull the hands down while simultaneously getting that left hip to move up and left.

Anyway what you've said is correct, but no way could I think about all that during the down swing. I just let it happen...
