Turn hips 45 and shoulders 45 for a 90-degree turn

The 45-45 rule: turning the hips 45 degrees by releasing pressure on the trail leg lets the shoulders turn 45 degrees, which the coach says adds up to a 90-degree shoulder turn without any effort. He presents it as a way to reach a full shoulder turn rather than forcing it.
