That's right, Andy. In Pivot Strokes, the Downstroke begins at the ground (the Feet) and sequences upward through the Knees, Hips and Shoulders. The Hip Action (Hips pull Shoulders) shifts the weight and maintains the On Plane Right Shoulder during the Start Down. This Body Action pulls the Arms, and the Arms pull the Hands (which have experienced a momentary static period that defines the Top).

Found this old quote on some study I am doing.

This motion that starts the downstroke in a Pivot Stroke that begins with the feet. What does the foot do? Is it a rotational move with the left foot, does that rotate the left knee which starts to rotate the left femur and then pulls the hip leftward? Is the hip movement and lower left leg two separate motions or two intertwined motions?
