Sequence the downswing: weight, hands, hips, chest

The instructor lays out the downswing order: at about 90% of the backswing you start shifting weight into the front foot, then the hands drop, then the hips turn, then the chest turns. She says the hips always lead the chest and stay more open, which she says creates the correct lag and delay between the body and the hips.
