You've overdone it. The shaft in your example passes through your belt buckle and heads towards the outside of your left knee.

I wanted to emphasize this point. I don't think Mike Bender wants you tilted away from the target/ball like you are. Tilting to touch a shaft to your left thigh is a few degrees. You've got over 20.

Right hand beneath left = about 5 degrees up to about 10 if you have a softer right arm. Some tilt away from the target (I wouldn't, but go ahead if you want) = about 5 degrees. That's a sum total of about 15 degrees, and that's measured as your SHOULDER angle from face on. Your tilt from belt to sternum would only show up as 5 degrees, not 20+. You're way overdoing this piece, and I'd wager money that Mike Bender would agree.
