Start the downswing with your shoulders, not hips

The speaker says to start the downswing with the upper half (the shoulders) rather than the lower half. Moving the shoulders first lets him keep the angle between his arm and the club — the powerful lag — so he can get into position and then hit really hard, continuing with the shoulders all the way through the shot.
