Mike,
Per
6-M-1, the downstroke sequence is always knees, hips, shoulders, right elbow, left wrist uncocking and / or left hand rotation.
But it is the
INTENT of bringing the hands down and out on-plane that will ironically bring about this sequence.
Food for thought - you will hardly see a good tennis player getting out of sync in their strokes. Is it any wonder that they focus only on what their hands are doing?
Its hard for most people to accept this line of reasoning until they play a round of tennis, observe their pivot reacting to the hands and then apply this procedure to their golf stroke.
Amateurs who try to trigger the downstroke in the sequence afore mentioned always manage to get it to fire the other way around.
Which brings to mind Mr. Kelley's timeless words, the hands are not educated until they control the pivot -
9-1
