Both Vardon and Armour were against starting the downswing with the lower body.
As I understand it, Tommy Armour's Start Down was all about getting the right knee in toward the ball. He taught that the feet and knees -- "footwork" as he called it -- moved the body out of the way (in both directions) so that the hands and arms could swing freely and then whip the club through the ball.
