Lower the right eye at the top (McIlroy head tilt)

The head-tilt move Hanson takes from Rory McIlroy for creating tilt and turn: at the top of the swing, simply lower the right eye so the right eye and right ear sit lower than the left. He says this promotes the right shoulder lowering toward the right hip and the upper body turning out of the way. As a feel check, you'll likely feel the club lay back slightly on itself and pressure on the base knuckle of your index finger. Hanson says it makes it very hard to hit it left, and that it works with iron shots too.
