Here is another instructional video from Milo Lines. Basically, Milo is saying that the shoulders should not rotate faster than the hip turn during the first part of the downswing. Only after about p5.5 should the shoulder turn begin to catch up to the hip turn. The hip turn leads the way and correct timing is needed to not turn the shoulders too early or too late. Is my interpretation correct? Also, we talk about increased torso pelvic separation. Does this mean that the hips turn even further ahead of the torso or shoulders in flexible golfers from p4 to p5.5? I can imagine how this could add elastic energy to the swing which could be good, but is this increased separation harder to get the timing right involving the hips and shoulders during the downswing? I would also assume that golfers with increased torso pelvic separation would have a lower risk of coming OTT, is this correct?

I would also assume that golfers with increased torso pelvic separation would have a lower risk of coming OTT, is this correct? Milo is correct to state that the pelvis should be more open than the pelvis at P5.5, but that does not mean that the shoulders are rotating slower than the pelvis between P4 and P5.5. So, for example, in his demonstration he has only 45 degrees of torso-pelvic separation at P4, but some pro golfers have 70-80 degrees of torso-pelvic separation at P4 (eg. Rickie Fowler - 35 degrees pelvic rotation and 115 degrees upper torso rotation). The latter group will have a greater amount of upper torso rotation happening between P4 and P5.5 if they have the same absolute degree of upper torso rotation (eg. square shoulders) at P5.5, so their upper torso is rotating significantly faster. Much more importantly from a golf instructional perspective, the pelvis must remain more open than the upper torso throughout the entire downswing, and if the upper torso over-rotates relative to the pelvis during the early-mid downswing it will predispose to an OTT scenario.
