what do you mean by cross-line hips?

When you make your little "hip bump" slide them across your target line instead of parallel to them.

Hey Digger I agree. It is probably more of a somewhat accomplished low-mid handicap players regular miss, who has learnt fair to good clubface control but hasn't got the whole game down pat yet. And should be given the credit it deserves as a major miss during a round of golf. A case of the pulls during a round is every bit as frustrating as a case of the hooks.
I don't know about the title though "Never Pull Again"

You have to rotate the entire left arm through impact to square the face

Cross Line Hips can also be referred to as 'candy cane' hip action.
This is something that I have to work on alot. When I focus on retaining my axis tilt (mostly by keeping my head down and back) then my common miss is a push right with the occasional push fade if I don't release well. On the flip side, my unmonitored motion is to straighten up sliding my head forward (above the hips) and losing this tilt which leads to the pull.
There is a happy middle ground that I'm always practicing towards and sometimes lock in on leading to periods of improved ball striking.

Would cross-line hips be appropriate for NHA? Yesterday, I was pulling everything it seemed. Part of my problem is that when I focus on the carry, I frequently end up swinging out-to-in. I tried focusing on right-side bend. It helped with the pulls, but I started going too much inside-out and hitting it fat. I tried, what I thought to be, cross-line hips when I was "shaking the sugar." It seemed to work. Now I am trying to figure out if it worked because I was doing NHA correctly, or whether the hip action was simply a band-aid on an incorrect NHA pattern. Thanks for anyone's comment.
Jim defined it earlier, "When you make your little 'hip bump' slide them across your target line instead of parallel to them."
I take this to mean that your hips move out to the right of your target a bit on their first move. Sort of like an inside out hip bump.
