I agree to the extent that that during the downswing when all the parts are in unison you get consistent accuracy.
When the three get separated bad things can happen. The most common errors are when the hands or shoulders race ahead causing the out to in and the other is the hips releasing too soon trapping the arms causing a push.
Also, your unified swing is great for accuacy, but the X factor is more limited so as the golfer gets more "skilled" beginning with the hip creates a more fluid swing, better weight shift and more a
cceleration trough the bottom of the swing.
