Move the pelvis before the shoulders in the downswing

Many amateurs move their shoulders and pelvis at the same time into the downswing, which is inefficient because the pelvis is not guiding the thorax to turn. The instructor says you want the pelvis to move first, then the shoulders, so each segment speeds up the swing in sequence. Moving them together also throws the club path left, producing slices or pulls depending on where the face points.
