In the delayed hip action which is 'the ideal'- the hips should lag the shoulders ... which basically means the hips are moved by the shoulder turn so from that perspective of preforming the purity of this principle yes, but by restraint no.... If you try to stop a lagging component, in this case the hip turn, it will stop the leading component, the shoulders - and all too often when this happens, the golfer tries to do something funky to falsely complete their backstroke....

Mathew,

Just want to ensure I understand the delayed hip action concept. I read 10-15-C to be a "preset" of the hip turn prior to start up, although it could also be accomplished by having the shoulders lead the hips on the backstroke. It would seem that for precision the pre-set approach would make it easier to control the length of the backstroke.

I have yet to try delayed hip action done as a pre-setting action, but plan to give it a go. I need to make sure I'm not mis-interpreting what Homer was saying in 10-15-C.
