Hi Lagster, i always thought it was just the intention of driving the right shoulder down plane but it didn't actually move first (at least for a swinger anyway), but the movement was initiated in the feet and hips. Seems like to me that his talk of "pulling with the left shoulder" is actually very TGMish cause is sounds like he's just describing #pp4.
Technically, you are correct that the first movements in the downswing are from the ground(feet). When talking about the role of the SHOULDERS, however, TGM rarely even mentions the left shoulder. Mr. Yoda has written many, many times about the role of the RIGHT SHOULDER, and how it's proper on plane motion accelerates the swinger's left arm.
Now, if a player likes to FEEL the left shoulder moving up and back instead of monitoring the RIGHT SHOULDER moving down towards the ball, and gets good results, it's OK.
Annikan's post here about sequencing etc., by the way, is very interesting.
