As mentioned, I struggled with this problem for a month but it will eventually gel and you will be hitting it ultra-crisp.

Yes, this hip movement is the 2nd of Dante's "magic moves" and it's a tough one for me. I think it's a case of wanting to get distance and thus rushing not only the backswing but the downswing too, so everything gets truncated. That's how it looks anyway. I need to slow it all way down. Easy to say; not so easy to do.
