Some folk just don't understand.
This is an excellent video and I can see it well even on full screen. An example of a very good swing for everyone to evaluate:

1) The club is taken back with the arms and shoulders.
2) There is very very little lateral or rotational movement of the hips. The hips continue to face forward while the shoulders are rotating back to the top position.

Excellent coil has been created at the top of the swing- the foundation of power. A very small rotation of the hips with a large rotation of the shoulders. This is the X Factor.

3) Shaft level at the top.
4) Start downward with lower body - not hands, arms or shoulders. Starting downward with the upper body is what causes slices, pulls and tops.

Head is behind the ball at impact...

And a nice high finish...Textbook.
