By the way Iīve never been a fan of the paddle down.

No one is advocating throwing arms
The concept of throwing the shoulder is to lead with the stick, but have more of a feeling of the stick being pushed towards the puck, not the stick pulling the movement towards the puck.
Who recommends hip rotation first? Are you advocating rotating the hips without a visual lead to the pucks new location? Additionally, I have to beleive that leading the rotation witht he hips will lay the foundation for a lagging stick, the key bieng in your words "the rest will follow up."
