At what point would this happen? Am I correct in assuming at this point CF would take over and then pull us around to finish?

Thanks.
Just follow Yoda's advice and you'll do fine

Yes, the momentum of the club will carry you to the finish.

You want to develop an instant acceleration of the Hips from the Top of the Stroke. This sets up a smooth and dependable Rhythm for the rest of the Stroke. Note that this does not mean you should violently spin your hips to the finish, in fact, quite the opposite. I personally like to associate this with the feeling of tapping a flywheel, because you only need a light 'push' and it keeps spinning forever (well...almost). You don't try to turn the flywheel by guiding it with your hands.

And remember to return your focus to your Hands, its Lag Pressure Point in relation to the Plane Line, once this motion has been identified and reduced to a Feel Equivalent and fully integrated into your Total Motion.

Ben Hogan's 'Flip' Of the Hips

Homer Kelley would have agreed, Leo. He came to understand 'Instant Acceleration' Hip Action and Drag Loading (10-19-C) by studying the swing of Ben Hogan. In describing Hogan's action, he used the phrase "'flip' of the hips."

This lightning quick movement Loaded the Lag and set up the Centrifugal Downstoke Sequence. But, beyond that little "flip," Homer maintained that nothing more was required of the Body other than that it continue to lead the Power Package Down Plane.
