Coming Down... Do you FEEL the Right Shoulder Throw, then Left Wrist Throw, or something else?

Let some SWINGERS chime in!!!
When I use a lag takeaway I start at mid body and 'feel' that the shaft stays 'up the inside' of my right forearm. A very right sided feel starting back. Like I hit the ball with the entire 'inside' of the forearm from wrist to elbow. A very clear feel of float loading and shoulder turn throw to 'sling' the club away from the body.
