Educated Hands Rule In the Start Down

What Homer is saying is that the Hands must remain On Plane during the Start Down, and they must dictate that alignment to the Pivot. Their relationship is with the Plane Line, not with the Body.

If the Right Shoulder comes off the Plane during the Start Down, it takes the Hands with it. And this is what happens with most golfers. The Hips and Shoulders turn back to the Ball together, the Right Shoulder Turns Off Plane -- it does not stay 'back' -- and the Hands follow. The player must learn to turn his Hips independent of his Shoulders -- Hula Hula flexibility (7-13) -- and thus avoid Roundhousing and its inevitable Clubhead Throwaway. Then and only then will the Hands be able to travel down their Delivery Path toward Impact.
