how to shift hands in clear hip

[shadow]

our level 7 girls desperately need help with this. their hands just seem to "float" over the bar and when i tell them to shift their hands they tell me they do not know how and/or when to do it. does anyone have a solution for this?!! their clear hips could be much better if they can get this accomplished...

My coach had us do lots of 2 back hip circles in a row when we were learning them, because you really need hand shift to do that. You can even have them do 3 back hip circles in a row if they can do 2 without shifting. (eg. using the momentum from a big cast)

like i keep sayin...3 clear hips in a row accomplishes/solves a lot of the problems that everyone encounters when they practice these.
