Use Your Hands And Arms To Start The Downswing by Staff  The
most destructive, yet most widely taught way to start the downswing is
to rotate the hips toward the target. This singular instruction may
quite possibly be the reason the average golf score hasn't improved
since, well, forever. Once you understand the swing plane concept and
the plane shift inherent to the swing, it is absolutely clear that if
you really do start down with any sort of rotation, your hands and club
will instantly move out farther away from the original plane rather
than down toward it. If you rotate toward the target, your hands must
follow in the same direction. Unless you have the flexibility of Tiger
Woods or David Duval, as soon as you rotate your hips, you will create
an immediate chain reaction that can only pull your club the wrong way.
Your hips pull your shoulders, which are immediately followed by your
arms and hands. This move can't possibly make your arms, hands and club
move down toward the original plane. The easiest way to return the club
to the original plane is to push the club back down onto it using your
hands and arms.
