If this is the priority, I've had people do toe up drills or feel the right palm/hand slap the back of the ball, then follow through over and behind your left shoulder.  Sometimes I may strengthen the grip if this carries through the rest of the clubs.  If you take swings using only your right hand, you'll see it's pretty easy to get the toe back up after impact. But use only the left hand and it's tough.  Going a layer below this though, I see early leg extensions or people getting stuck in the turn to cause the face to stay open at impact, so my inclination would be to start there.

I'm thinking it might have more to do with the flexion/extension of the lead wrist. As you likely know, I'm not a big fan of "getting the toe up after impact" because many will over-exaggerate this and actively roll it.

But, of course, I'm going to wait to see what the video shows before making even an educated guess that I expect him to take seriously.

Yeah I don't like the idea of "rolling" it either.  When the face stays open sometimes people are "holding it off."  I don't want the opposite so exaggerating the feeling isn't what I want to go for.

I didn't really think about lead wrist orientation.
