sorry dont see how that would help. if anything to me, looks like it might make it worse
needs to learn hip slide

This can be a path-related issue. I would reccommend more of a concerted effort to hit the inside of the ball. When that happens, it's hard to have too much hip rotation too early. Hip rotation is a good thing, but it must happen at the right time. Often excessive hip rotation can be coupled with the right shoulder swinging out and down early in the down swing.

Working left shoulder more up in downswing tends to help me.

Which post?
....
can't make it worse pecky, holding the heel down tends to stifle the lower pivot.......which was my point in the first place...
Besides which, I don't think the hips are this guys problem.....his real problem is his shoulders being too open at impact....i.e he has let his shoulders be influnced by his hips......if he learns to keep his shoulders back (swing more right) his hips can do what they want....

i disagre.
he probably has an open face issue and is spinning out to square the face up. not his shoulders been too open.
if someone spins out then chances are the weight is staying back. how can keeping the right foot down help that?
he needs twistaway to fix the clubface and needs to learn a flatter turn in the backswing and needs to add tilt sooner
i think i mis-understand.
are you saying that twistaway and a downplane right shoulder is CAUSING the spinning out?
he must be uber flexible because to get the right shoulder downplane you need some hip-slide to accomodate it. hmmm
do slow motion moves from the top or "start down waggles" training the feeling of sliding the hips before unwindind

I forget which Manzella show it was but a good one is to get the student at address to impact pose. Get em all the way on that left hip feeling a little closed. Hit small shots from there feeling the arms pass the body. Works great for ex ball players who spin those hips real fast.

This cannot easily be achieved in real time as a whole new habit has to be created.
He must drill in slow mo' and practise bringing the club face down and out to the ball on plane and at the correct angle; slightly open.
Only in slow mo' will he resist the urge to kill which is, most likely, the root cause of his over cooked hip action.
Work on little shots, with his feet as close together as possible, and gradually move up scale, widen the stance and lengthen the swing, as his hip action improves.
Get him to swing easy and be surprised by the results.
