How to get hips more open on downswing?

Am still plugging away. Lots of issues, and going back and forth between using some traditional weight shifting still, and trying Saguto S and T with weight forward.

My question is no matter if I go full Saguto and try to keep weight on front throughout back and downswing, or if I use more of a Hogan drag shift on backswing I can’t get my hips open or cleared the downswing.

It is too upright vs rotational and hips stay too closed and do not get 45 degrees open at contact. As you might guess this causes or contributes to lots of issues and reduces shallowing of club - contact is thin, slice, fat early extension, outside in,etc

Any videos or suggestions dealing with specifically with this?

Thanks.

@Tom Saguto Thanks Tom I played a round today with three clubs, 7 iron/3 wood/56 degree wedge. I played the round just doing the 90% drill first of I was shocked how far I hit the ball. The contact was very solid, although I did catch myself a few times on my back foot and hit it fat. I noticed also that if I kept my butt forward that was the key to keeping my weight on my front foot. I had alot of fun just playing with that drill.
