Well my swing was looking better but it was still funky. I figured out that I was clearing out my knees more than my hips. I just looked at my video and realized this. I have to laterally move my hips whereas I was starting with and clearing the knees. This will help me get in the proper strong aligned left side at impact.
Also worked with Ryo on his left wrist at impact. He had it down during our golf camp and then lost it. We tried everything for about three sessions constantly filming but nothing worked. Then finally I thought about his wrist position and thought that if his right wrist was more closed then it would be flat or bowed at impact but then the ball would fly off to the right. Then I realized that if his grip was weaker that would compensate for it. I told him to try a neutral grip which is what I was trying to get him to have for a long time and it immediately worked. He was subconsciously squaring the club face by flipping or scooping since his grip was so strong that he couldn't supinate. So this was a great mystery solved and he's now happy again because he was pretty obsessive about getting it perfect. And this is a pretty fundamental thing in the golf swing.
Here's the swing:
