Stand up and twist your hips 25* to the right and left and notice the shouders react very little, now do the same but shift your weight down into your lead foot and the shouders will react more.
True Shootin, but the OTT arm/hand swinger has to start the process of working on lower body rotation to clear that hip. Often its one key thought - such as fire the right hip, step off the right foot etc that makes everything else come together.

I fire my right side by stepping off my right instep. I like to feel the right foot and right hip go together, pushing off the resistance Ive built up the inside of right leg.
