Hmmm. Can I take one last shot at it?

I'm now wondering if your lower body is over rotating and throwing your hands inside? This would be another version of pivot to hands. Its common, I still sometimes suffer from the shoulder turn version of this.

So try this:
-consider the lower body and the arms as going in different directions.
The right hip (only) turns BACK and the right forearm and frozen right wrist go UP.
-working just with the hips consider them as having a set place at which the right hip stops. Ill leave it to you to determine where this is depending on flexibility. Hips at 45 degrees? Or what ever. But feel them stop. That is, in start up clear that right hip back a set amount only and then stop. What is going on up top may pull them around a bit more , that is ok.
-working just with the right arm and hand, no club. With the frozen right wrist bent to the desired amount from fix, put your mind in your right wrist and take it up to your ideal top position. Look, look, look back at Top and take your right hand up there with RFT. Just let your shoulders respond to the hand dont think about the shoulders. This is what we do in normal human motion. Like reaching behind you for a cup off of a high kitchen shelf. You dont think about the pivot when doing that! If your thinking about it all its just the brain sending the hand to the cup. The cup representing Top for the golfer. This is hands to pivot. We do it all day , everyday and should do it in golf too. Put your brain in your hand and it will go where you direct it.

Anyways good luck with it and thanks again for all those amazing videos
