Can you see how Tiger’s hips are staying back like in the Clamshell drill here?

Can you see how Tiger’s hips are staying back like in the Clamshell drill here? It’s so important for that right hip to not move into the target line at the start of the downswing to avoid losing your posture and spacing for your arms. When you are working on the Clamshell Drill feel that the right butt cheek stays on the chair until the left makes contact but make sure that you are shifting most all your pressure to the lead leg during this time like you saw in the pressure shift video here on the Community page: https://rotaryswing.com/feed/post/71

Gosh...5,000+ reps in and I’m still terrible at this. Right butt cheek just wants to fire!!!
Damn. He makes it look so easy.
not all the videos open up
Then the shift of weight to the lead side is basically a lateral shift it seems if I follow that instruction. Is that correct?
What helps me shift my weight to my lead leg at the start of the down swing is to keep my trail foot planted during this transition move just prior to contact with the ball. Much more power into ball and better release.
