I would much rather see your arms and wrists structured like your impact position but at setup. As if you put your trail leg back on the ground but kept everything else the same on the picture to the right.

This was the main focus of the lesson. Your hips need to move in a more rotary fashion instead of a sliding action. Turning the hips so that your right glute pushes through an invisible wall and then the left glute rotates around the opposite direction and pushes back through the invisible wall. This will allow your hips to clear both on the backswing and downswing which will generate more power but also make it easier to keep your arms extended through impact which in turn will make your low point easier to control. If the arms fold, or shorten in any way then the low point is comprised and we hit the top of the ball.

Good work and keep practicing!
