Yes and No. Yes, the golf stroke starts from the bottom up and the feet (platforms) then Knees (anchors) start the down stroke but the Hip Motion via a Hip Action is very relevant. Hula Hula is an INDEPENDENT yet coordinated movement of the Hips and Shoulders- its key objective is the maintain a center head and keep the geometric circle as true as possible. Swaylessness. There is a much that the hips do after the feet start the downstroke. If there wasn’t, our footjoys would be gripping the club. All motion is connected so it is also safe to say the feet move the shoulders and the hands. But NO, because much occurs between actions.
