poll: what initiates your downswing

[EightBlue]

what starts your downswing for full swings?

[Jax]

i guess its not normal buts it works for me on my backswing i lift my left foot (front foot) and on my downswing and drop it and thats what initiates my downswing pretty much

[iacas]

Your feet, knees, hips.

When I'm doing it right, my right hip. But I have a tendency to start with the shoulders... bad habit I'm trying to break.

Knees, Then right away hips, then arms follow behind.

I've been trying to get the feeling of my lower back starting the swing, but in reality, my left hip is, along with a small weight transfer.

Left knee - followed by hips - followed by arms - followed by full release at impact

I voted for "bumping of left hip" although that's not exactly what I think I'm trying to do. I try to turn my left knee around toward the target.

When I think about bumping, I usually sway toward the target and squirt the ball out way right of my target.

I agree 100%, The downswing starts from the ground - up!

Too many high handicappers swing from the arms/hands down, causing the big over the top move.

i'm on plane due to my one plane swing style,so I haven't moved behind the ball much in the backswing as already have width,so it's a shoulder initiated start with a turn of the left hip.

Knees, Then right away hips, then arms follow behind.

This is what I do.

When that little voice in my mind screams " KILL THE BALL "!!!

Ya think that might be part of my problem.......

Lead shoulder

I have heard that for some guys stepping on the left foot shifts the weight and initiates the hip turn
