Optimum downswing speed

[speedracer68]

I have watched almost all your videos brian and i have enjoyed all of them more than i am willing to admit. My question now is for the optimum downswing speed without over accelerating.

I have a slow even tempo but while following some guidelines such as the left arm is like a shopping cart that is being pushed into the downswing by your chest. the downswing becomes even slower because the hip is turning the shoulders and the shoulders are taking the arms for a ride.

Is this the correct way to go down without overaccelerating. If not what is the correct way to power the downswing.

The body pushes and the hands guide.

The pressure in my hands moves the shopping cart. If I lose that pressure I lose control of the shopping cart.

Yes...

But...

If you were standing on ice and you pushed, which would move, you or the cart?.....I'm sure you've pushed a car in the snow. You can't apply any pressure unless your feet are anchored...
