I feel as though my right forearm has to pass my body before I get to arrive at finish. If the right shoulder actively continues downplane the right arm can't catch up. It doesn't take much centrifugal force for the right arm to be draging instead of driving.

If the right forearm passes the body to arrive at finish, is it fair to say that the pivot in hitting is not doing much yet? Are the hips still angled to right field while the right forearm crosses the chest? [/quote]

The right hip does stayed cleared in the startdown, 10-14-B, slide. This might give the sensation that they stay that way until impact, but in reality they do not.
