Jack has said lower body is only as important as its help to shoulder rotation,I agree.However I believe it can hinder as much as help shoulder rotation.To me the axis in a proper center position is what allows for the separation and the shoulders to generate the speed.Now the 1st place I think that a swing can get linear is with the stride,many talk about driving off the rear foot.I believe that if the rear heel lifts up from weight coming off it then your weight shift.If your rear heel comes up by being turned from rear knee drive then you will rotate.It is at this point I believe the lower body becomes one or the other.
