I think TM's focus on getting the back leg internally rotating fast/early/on time(whatever way you want to look at it) helps alot of lower level players get better hip extension in their swings. Not sold on hand path. Or that its truly "one legged". But the back leg needs to external rotate on load then internal rotate into extension. Hip cant extend as easily when the femur is not close to being in line with the torso.
Watch freeman, lindor and springer especially. And both judge and bonds. Really fast hip extension right before/during contact because back knee is pretty close to front knee.
Not sure you can teach someone to extend hips like this as much as you can get them in a great position to do so.
Edit: Shawn you look pretty good with extension I think. At least compared to me.
