Forget your hips, weight shift and your wrists for a bit. Take a backswing. Now do nothing else but simply BEND your spine so your right shoulder is moving toward your right hip. What happened to your left hip? Yep, it opened. The club is also still in the fully cocked position.
Now here is the most important part. You have to KEEP BENDING YOUR SPINE DOWN until you are hitting through impact. This will take you a long time to do until it is second nature.
The spine drives the swing. Try it yourself. If you keep bending all the way the club lag will be maintained in front of the ball and your hips will have cleared all the way - without you even thinking about them.
Everyone has a different release style that can dictate consistency and ball flight. But you will never be able to change your release pattern until you learn to bend your spine first.
Oh, and if you think your bending long enough, you probably aren't - its really hard to keep it going. You will probably be tight in the left lower back and hip.
