Not too sure about the hips; which move on a different plane to the inclined plane that the club is on. IMHO the hips do nothing other than allow the shoulders full range of movement on the back swing and clear the way for them to enjoy the same privilege on the down swing and follow through.
Now, the shoulders are another matter. The gyroscopic, down plane, thrust of the right shoulder really gets things under way.
Initially. the left arm is largely inert but increases in influence as the motion progresses and the down plane right shoulder
drive switches to a left shoulder/left arm
pull up plane against a braced left side.
This movement is augmented by a straightening right arm, release of accumulator #1, driving pp1 and pp3 down to low point (bit of Mr Tomasello here Dave?), the uncocking of the left wrist, release of accumulator #2, and the release of #3 accumulator as they lead to accumulator #4 being blasted off the chest.
Placing undue emphasis on power from the hips tends to destroy the rest of the swing - ask Tiger.
