Okie when you say "Baaaad" I recognize that you know the subject is "goat humping". I didnt notice this in Styles swing by the way but I am something of an expert on the subject, although not of the caliber of Bucket say.
So in this form of a swing snare, the hips thrust toward the ball in transition (as opposed to the good old fashioned head bob) BUT in a fascinating and totally subconscious effort to keep the Radius properly measured or stretched to the ball, the shoulder frame is lifted as a compensation. So basically what starts at one end of the machine works its way to the Left Shoulder, the Center of the Swing Radius, thereby ruining the Geometry of the Circle and disrupting the Clubhead's orbit. With the Left Shoulder on the move, you are no longer Tracing a Straight Plane line, low point is moving etc etc. You may time it well sometimes but not all the time.
As for your third and forth questions. I'd say that we clear the right hip going back with a simple turn of the right hip and then clear the right hip (again) in transition with a Hip Slide and Delayed Turn. Two "clears", not one assuming Axis Tilt. Simply doing this precludes the "hump" most likely but if you are struggling or choose not to Tilt your Axis you can simply try to keep your rump back in transition. "Ass back golf", as I call it.
This relates to the "keeping your spine angle" of popular golf speak.

[*]Stay in your Posture so that the Right Elbow Clears the Hip during the Downstroke.
Daryl,
How would you recommend going about staying in your posture? How does waist bend alter impact conditions? Why does coming out of your posture prevent tilting the axis and clearing the right hip. I know it does but I lack an effective book-based description.
Sincerely,
Okie
Stay in Posture to Clear the Right Hip during the Downstroke.
During the Backstroke 80% of your weight shifts to the right foot. Go ahead and start the Downstroke with a Slide Left Hip Tilt and setting the Left Heel down to the ground but - don't take too much the weight off of the Right Foot.
Right-Left-Right-Left weight shift is not the best idea for Swingers using a Wrist Throw. Left Toe, Right Heel, Left Heel, Right Toe is a more gradual shift and it will keep the Right Hip where it belongs.

Stan,
Go to the top of your swing . . . take the club down to where your left arm would be parallel to the ground in your downstroke . . . now stand up . . . look at what the shaft does . . . lays down right? Your hands are going to end up being too far away from you if you continue swing "out" from there you have to throw your wrist at the ball because of the adjusted radius . . . all of your vectors are RIGHT (imagine a side hill lie with ball below your feet). So you have to uncock your wrist early to get to the ball and arch it so you don't hit a giant push slice . . . you also have disrupted #3 and are totally dependent on #2 . . . any amount of roll and you stand a chance of getting the snapper too. Two way miss time.
The other option is to swipe a cross it and hit a shrimper . . .
Hips clearing and not going toward the plane line keep the hands and shaft on the intended plane. I know it's a hands controlled pivot but the can compensate for only so much. If your hips are going toward the plane line and not parallel to your delivery line then your right hip CAN'T clear . . . goathumpers hands get out away and up too.

You, me and a lot of decent golfers. I suspect that anyone who offers information on this subject "knows" the goat.
From a DTL view mark your posterior area and see if it moves towards the base line in transition. Then take a look at Tigers. He is employing "ass back golf", we are not.

This is very insightful. Bucket you Sir, "knoweth" the goat like no other.
I keep hitting the ball right, sometimes just a little bit, other times it sails way right.
I used to but now rarely hit big hooks.
Here are a few links to swing clips.
Constructive criticism welcome.
I play off 3 and would like to get to scratch.
So I only watched the first video, but the swing looks fine,, I know you might want a more difficult answer to your question but I only have a simple one... Watch the first video again and think of Anika, or Duval... You are right eye dom.. and your head is always looking forawrd. That would be where I would start if it is an occational block..Quicker you look at the target in that swing the more the face opens.
, your Right Hip is moving forward and so you're relying on Torso Turn Power to compensate for Hip Action.
