I am reading a lot of posts and videos that are mentioning get to the left side early (rightie golfer) or another way of saying it is starting your downswing, before the backswing is completed. I find this hard to do. But, understand this is the same concept as throwing a ball. I once played with a scratch golfer and he had a hard time explaining why he was so good. He said, the golf swing is a throwing action. I took this as throwing the clubhead. Some use this as a drill. Throw a club in a field. That didn't work for me. Maybe, he meant it is the same throwing action, your body does? Like stepping forward, while the arm (like a football throw) is going back?
