left knee must rotate externally in order for the femur to lean back (away from target)

in the TS, hold the right leg in place and move left knee out to target and around to the left ...this will shallow the swing plane as well

Just BEFORE the hips are cleared with the above technique , the arms should be 1/2 way down and still cocked ...you then clear the hips and uncock the wrists into the ball simultaneously... key - the right wrist must be re-cocked "thumb down" at impact

you must straighten the left leg only thru impact. Right leg must stay bent ...or else you will simply stand up (early extension) and stop the hips rotating

When you start down your left femur must be angled back ....this will allow the hips to rotate thru impact ...the reason this works well is because as your left leg pushes into the ground from this "femur/angled" position, your left hip will naturally turn around, back and away from the target ...the right side will also come thru properly as well ...this hip "clearing" technique prevents the raising of the body (early extension) and allows you to stay in posture (lateral side bend right)
