Brilliant drill Mark, a sway has plagued my game ever since I started playing 30 years ago having self taught with books and videos from Sir NF and his coach DL and over interpreting their advice to "bump" the hips over in the back swing and shift the weight onto the back leg, which for me meant my hip over my back foot as shown in your example. This has become so ingrained that I've struggled to eradicate it. This drill instantly gives the feeling of how the hip should turn rather than slide and you can feel how much extra torque that generates.

Thanks for this. A few seconds trying it out was enough to know I'll be on the range with it tomorrow.
