The physics of the golf stroke is useless unless it is precisely aligned and that's why the golfing machine rocks so much . Physics is of force and motion, so in essence physics is what powers the stroke whether it be pivot or muscular thrust, but the geometry aligns the physics. The geometry is of the circle and the physics is of rotation.
Absolutely right, Mathew. This is the essence of G.O.L.F. -- Geometrically Oriented Linear Force.
The Linear Force produced by the Angular (circular) Motion of the Golf Stroke is the Line of Compression. That Line is straight...not curved. It is the Principle of Golf (2-0).
Through Impact, this Linear Force is Geometrically Oriented -- that is, geometrically aligned -- according to the Geometry of the Circle (Clubhead Orbit) and the employed Hinge Action (Clubface Alignment).
A Force geometrically aligned and controlled is efficient.
The Force and its constraining Structure constitute Mechanics.
For the Golfer, Feel is the equivalent of Structure, and its foundation is Educated Hands.
In the delayed hip action which is 'the ideal'- the hips should lag the shoulders ... which basically means the hips are moved by the shoulder turn so from that perspective of preforming the purity of this principle yes, but by restraint no.... If you try to stop a lagging component, in this case the hip turn, it will stop the leading component, the shoulders - and all too often when this happens, the golfer tries to do something funky to falsely complete their backstroke....

Mathew,
Just want to ensure I understand the delayed hip action concept. I read 10-15-C to be a "preset" of the hip turn prior to start up, although it could also be accomplished by having the shoulders lead the hips on the backstroke. It would seem that for precision the pre-set approach would make it easier to control the length of the backstroke.
I have yet to try delayed hip action done as a pre-setting action, but plan to give it a go. I need to make sure I'm not mis-interpreting what Homer was saying in 10-15-C.
I have been reading posts concerning drills and members ideas on the bump to start the downswing. My question is: if my hipa are turned 45 to 50 degrees to the right of the target (on the backswing) and then I start my downswing with a bump,does the bump go 45 to 50 degrees right of the target line or do I actually turn as I bump which would then square my hips to the target line??

The "bump" is the body reaction (the effect) to the pulling (or pushing) of the hands against the "lag" (the cause) driven by the pivot turn, a "hands-controlled pivot".
If you "bump" it (the cause) with the hip (instead of pulling by the hands), you get "pivot-controlled hands" (the effect).
__________________ Yani Tseng, Go! Go! Go! Yani Tseng Did It Again! YOU load and sustain the "LAG", during which the "LAW" releases it, ideally beyond impact.
"Sustain (Yang/陽) the lag (Yin/陰)" is "the unification of Ying and Yang" (陰陽合一).
The "LAW" creates the "effect", which is the "motion" or "feel", with the "cause", which is the "intent" or "command".
"Lag" is the secret of golf, passion is the secret of life.
Think as a golfer, execute like a robot.
Rotate, twist, spin, turn. Bend the shaft.
And if you get the plane flat enough in relation to the body BY lowering the hip and shoulder locations i.e. sitting down - then you effectively take the right hip out of the right elbow's way. This is probably the only way to get hip clearance if you haven't evolved to upright biped movement. For a video of someone with these ape like features please see Bucket in the Video Gallery.
