This combination will take care of the shoulder turn in the downswing.  Ah!  Those shoulders.  How many players fail to keep them back long enough in the return movement to the ball.  The shoulder turn must be delayed if they are to be in line, instead of across-line, at impact.  You know now how to keep them back.
The hips are shifting with the general movement, the left hip moving out of the way to make room for the arms and hands to do their work.

  You will not need to pay undue attention to the hips unless you are short and stocky or one of the over-forties in which case, as I made clear in the previous chapter, you may need to dwell on the right hip-action and understand how it works.

  It moved well back with the body turn in the backswing and now it comes into the lateral movement in the return movement to the ball.  What you have to beware of is any tendency for the right hip to move out towards the ball.  Picture its path in the downswing as being inside the path it took on the way back in the backswing.

  With the shoulders, hands and club head coming last into this movement back to the ball, you will be sufficiently poised by the time the hands are level with the right hip to let them go through without attempting to force them.  Our triple combination has given the hands the momentum to release the accumulated power in the required direction and that is into the back of the ball and on along the line of flight.
