I have heard different interpretations of what this "clear the right hip" means.

Clearing the right hip is merely allowing the hands to establish a lag relationship to the planeline. Thats it. Nothing more, nothing less. Basically, the hips lead the downswing and provide a dual function - particulary for swingers....starting the gyroscope and shifting so the hands can move downwards toward the ball.

You'll know if you roundhouse. See 2-N-O, page 49, top section.
