I have a different image I use to achieve the move. I started with Chaz's 'bump' and then incorporated my 'body powered' bend. The final image is starting from 'tray' position at the top of the backswing, I bend back (away from the target) and down to the side to bring my right elbow in front of my right hip. I don't move my arms. If I tuck my elbow a bit to get it there sooner I get what looks like Moe's 'down cocking'.

My hips slide to the other side (left) when I do this without my thinking about it just to keep balance. If my left leg is flexed that is the move.

As I've mentioned, I don't think of rotating (though I do) and this keeps me facing the target through impact. This morning at the driving range I had to consciously go back to this move again as I was starting to 'spin' resulting in slices and pulls.
