Stand in your normal address position holding something fairly heavy, such as a shag bag full of balls, and try throwing it with some authority toward a target about 15 feet away.
How do you naturally perform this action? With your weight equally distributed on the insides of your feet and legs, you would coil your entire upper body–hands, arms, shoulders and torso together against the "brace" or set of your right leg. Your head moves marginally to the right, simply following the spine. As the bag reaches a point just above your waist going back, your weight moves onto the inside of your right foot and right leg. From here, you reverse the thrust of your legs from the ground up. In throwing the shag bag, you have used natural rhythm and coordination in a totally connected tossing action. It is precisely the action in the swing of every great striker of the golf ball.
