Hey have you heard of "crush the can"? I like it . Given the "body cooperates " hands to pivot , intentionality you mention above: in training (prior to ingraining) you could "crush the can " and "side arm the frisbee". Once you get the left hip over the left shoe perfectly, which the crush the can move automates, its hard not to pivot.
You tried the "stork drill"? Standing on your left leg with your right pulled way back, hitting balls at about 3/4 strength. Being left makes contact easy. You can dial down your excess pivot motion while doing this drill then take that new motion to your real shots. The pivot isn't as big or effortful as it appears .

I am standing on my left leg right now as I type this much like Ralph Masacio in "Karate Kid." I am in a crane position!
Seriously, thanks OB, the image of right leg pulled back. That is how I first discovered the joy of pelvic thrusting, that, and there was this Canadian girl when I was 16...long dark hair ....good singer...Shaniah....
