Which is it - does the left foot start the down-swing or the right knee?
The drills are great but I don't like being confused like this
You are confusing action and motion.
Action is something you do with intent - drive off the right foot/right knee.
Motion is something that results - the left foot starts down.
That said, different patterns will tend towards different actions (what 'starts' the motion). A hitter may focus on the base of the right hand driving toward the aiming point, a swinger may focus on the hips, or yes, planting the left foot, or 'falling' onto the left side, or 'driving' the right knee.
There is no 'one' answer - it depends on the golfer and the pattern being used, as well as the perspective of the observer.
Perhaps best to move this to its own thread.
