Fix right shots with left hip back, right shoulder through

The coach says the cause of shots leaking right is the direction the hips rotate and the direction the right shoulder fires. He wants the left hip to move straight back behind you and the right side of the body to get more on top of the left side, rather than letting the hips slide laterally. He compares the move to a spiral staircase: the left hip goes back and the right shoulder goes through.

Said while diagnosing a player whose backswing and ball position were already good but who was hitting shots right.
