Bump the hip, move the head back to shallow the driver

Craig Hanson teaches a two-move feel for the driver: keep the head centered on the backswing and draw the right side back, then on the downswing bump the hip forward while the head goes back to the right. He uses a foam roller as a touch-point for the hip bump and says these two moves shallow the plane and help you come further down from the inside.
