That's one way to open your hips....then there is the correct way in the context of hitting.....
If I IR my femur my hips open....and my toes are pointed at the plate....
Constant IR of the femur against resisting hips until it's time to open the hips....

Two points;
First one; you said, "..point the rear toes straight ahead of you...open your hips slightly"
Do you understand that the action of opening your hips slightly was done by muscle action that applies external rotation force to the back femur?
Then you said, "turn the femur towards your groin." Yes, this now reduces the amount of external rotation that was there, But, if you keep the foot down, there is still external rotation. You can't get to neutral or IR unless you pivot the foot.
Second Point;
You can only turn the foot into IR if it has no weight on it, or no friction holding it. If it has weight on it, and you apply the muscles that cause IR, the front hip will close.
The knee and ankle bend does not change the IR/ER angle, it changes the abduct/adduct angle.
You simply don't have the knowledge of anatomy, necessary to understand what I'm telling you.
