I think the statement above, seen often in relation to the start of the down swing, is most misleading and causes lots of problems for the unenlightened.

The slide should NOT precede the turn of the hips; the actions are synchronous. Any attempt to separate one from the other, or to sequence the processes, is damaging at best and disastrous at worst.

Sorry, but this is yet another of those little truisms that hampered my progress until I learned different from experience.
