I've heard some say that the lower body has to move laterally towards the target during the down stroke. I've also heard this is wrong and that the lower body rotates so that your belt buckle is looking at the target. The latter representing a "firm left side". I've also seen a drill where a shaft is placed into the ground outside of your left leg. The idea being you should not be bumping into it during the down stroke.

Thoughts?

When focus on PULLing the club or BENDing the shaft (by pushing) against the clubhead "LAG" with the HANDS (powerred by a spinning lagged-pivot), the lower body seems always leads with a bit "bump" first and then turn (and the left side feels pretty firm as well and is not gonna touch the stick).

What you Intend to do is "sustain the lag with the hands", yet what the body shows is the lower body's "bump and turn" first. So, it's seems that you "Do" the former "to Get" the latter-"hands-controlled-pivot", not the other way around-"pivot-controlled-hands".

When doing the former, I feel only "1----" all the way through impact. For the latter, however, I feel "1-2---", which has much more "timing" involved, aside from the "LAG break-down". I would like to take as much "timing" out of, yet keep as much "LAG" in, my swing as possible.
