In a common golf stroke, shoulder turn takeaway with a simultaneous hip turn, your arms and hands keep going after your hips stop turning. That seems to break the glue between them.

With the Right Forearm Takeaway, using Hip Action on the Backstroke tends to glue the shoulders and hips together in a way that when you start down, it seems like a big body -hips and shoulders- around together rotation back to the ball. Over the top.

I think your answer rests with delaying the Hip Turn until your RFT pulls the around which will give you maximum separation between them for this type of backstroke. I don't mean so much that you'll have a greater X factor so much as I mean that mentally, the Hips and shoulders have kept their independence. The Hula Hula flexibility isn't a big physical deal as much as it's a independent but coordinated thing.
What I meant is that was it possible that I was still trying to fan and pull backwards and upwards with the right forearm while the hips were trying to move forward.

Thus rather than having a nice smooth back swing, transition, then downswing I seemed to have a backswing and a downswing that blended together and overlapped with no transition and no tempo at all.

I do get what you are saying though and that also might be correct.
