I think that you are right. If one starts the downswing with pelvis shift-rotation movement, that lower body action moves the lumbar spine left-laterally and increases the degree of secondary axis tilt. Then, when the upper torso subsequently rotates perpendicularly around the spinal tilt (which has increased), the right shoulder can move downplane. A golfer who starts the torso rotation with an upper torso turn (without a preceding lower body shift-rotation movement) can only turn the shoulders more horizontally which predisposes to an OTT move.

If you rotate the hips at the beginning of the downswing your shoulders will move outward....an over the top move. Watch Letter series video number #3.
