I think I know what your saying but I don't think that it's tempo related. Tempo may be a factor but I don't think it the cause.

In a common golf stroke, shoulder turn takeaway with a simultaneous hip turn, your arms and hands keep going after your hips stop turning. That seems to break the glue between them.

With the Right Forearm Takeaway, using Hip Action on the Backstroke tends to glue the shoulders and hips together in a way that when you start down, it seems like a big body -hips and shoulders- around together rotation back to the ball. Over the top.

I think your answer rests with delaying the Hip Turn until your RFT pulls the around which will give you maximum separation between them for this type of backstroke. I don't mean so much that you'll have a greater X factor so much as I mean that mentally, the Hips and shoulders have kept their independence. The Hula Hula flexibility isn't a big physical deal as much as it's a independent but coordinated thing.
