I am curriouse about what is actually ment by the Homer when he says clear the right hip both going back and through? Is he refering to by the hands or the actual rotation of the hip

The right hip must be turned back prior to the right elbow passing on the backswing.
On the downswing the right hip must be held in its back position until the right elbow passes it.
Otherwise you are most likely "roundhousing". Try the search function for more info.
For me clearing the right hip is the first thing I do in the backswing and the perhaps the single most important change I have made in my action since I started getting lessons from Yoda (although there a quite a few of em.)
The Downstroke Hip Motion is always parallel to the Delivery Line. Clearing the Right Hip or having it Pre-turned allows for this in bothe directions without the 'change' that the hip might influence the path of the hands.
I understand the clearing the right hip going back, and was able to grasp it on the driving range today, however the hip motion on the downstroke was very difficult. If i am swinging than the hip action should throw the right shoulder down plane, however by allowing the right elbow to pass the right hip down in front as required for the pitch basic, i feel i am somwhat lossing the lag and drag in the pivot train by allowing my shoulders and arms to overtake the hips prematurly, and found myself hitting pulls, and bending the plane line comeing through. I generally struggle with bending the plane line however and hitting pulls

Is your weight on your left side prior to start down?
See Yodas swing in the DVD preview video to sense how dynamic this hip action is onto the left side. A geometric prerequisite to hitting down and out and the reason we preset the weight onto the left side for non pivot shots like chipping.
Typically myweight is already onto myleft at start down, but as I understand(may be incorrect), weight shift is a function of hip turn, so to get my weight onto my front side the hips would need to turn open. Would that mean that as the left side opensthe right side would stay back, producing a look like the Sneed squat at the startdown, this is a verydifficult possition to achieciveformefor somereason, and does the weight imediatly go into the left heel? Could i be over rotating and therefore "roundhousing" with my right hip? I find myself frequently comming out of shots before follow through possibly because of this

If your right hip goes out with your right shoulder, you'll roundhouse. A little hip slide could help; once you get your right hip back, leave it there when you start down and bump the turned hips to your left while your right elbow drops in front. Don't let your head and upper body slide with your hips. Your weight will go left, but your right hip will stay out of the way.
I like to feel like my right hip is moving away from the ball; not only does that keep the hip back, it helps me maintain my posture and makes it easy to generate and feel the throwout action needed for swinging.
I noticed a definite squat look when I started doing this.
