I was curious as to what might be the most repeatable way to initiate the downswing?

I have experimented with buckling the left knee toward the traget (flag) as my first move down, followed by dropping my right elbow (see Bertholy)

I have also tried firing my right knee at the ball while simultaneously bringing my hands down. Timing impact so the right knee and hands basically meet the ball the same time. (see Armour)

As long as my head stays over my right knee at impact, and my right shoulder comes down the angled plane, they both work well at getting my weight to left side and clearing my hips. They are both much better than starting down with my hands first.

Do you guys know of any other way to inititate the downswing that may be even more reliable than these two?

Thanks

For Swingers- whatever cranks it up and allows the left half of the Flying Wedge to - FLY. I just let the right side re-act to what the left side pull is doing- aka Snead Squat. Bump and turn the hips, throw acc#3, roll and slam. Arms straighten after Horizontal Hinge and then up to the end.
