That alone would not be a cleared right hip to my mind. But you can/should turn the right hip back from there quite nicely to get er done. Either prior to or during Startup.

Thanks O.B. It's a small adjustment but it seems to eliminate a lot of my pivot issues (body sway and head movement).

Research "Hula Hula" for the relationship between Hip movement and a steady head. Im thinking that for a steady head the tailbone or hips need to move and vice versa. A steady tailbone can often lead to a moving head during full powered swings. The body swings the club and the club and its momentum swings the body.....so something has to give at full power to counter balance things. If you make it your tailbone via Hip Action then the Head can be steadied easier. Its sort of like one end of the pivot or body has to be anchored, ideally the Top, the Pivot Center, the Head commonly.

You can feel this if you do a swing with your butt up against a wall or door jam. When it holds its position things dont want to work properly. The hips need to move.

When you get your Hip Action happening you can then add some Right Hip Clearing to promote Arc or Angle of Attack compliance, an inside to out Delivery Path of the Hands. Two different concepts that work so well together in better swings. Like in this example below.

I appreciate the post O.B. and I don't want to do anything that's not by-the-book. I understand the hips need to move. I'm not trying to restrict hip movement. As soon as I start to trace a straight base line my hips fly open without thinking about it. I guess I'm just frustrated with my body movement. I stand up and sway immediately in start up and nothing I do seems to help. I just thought bumping the hip left in my set up would keep my weight left (sort of like stack and tilt) and prevent my body sway to the right. It's a really ugly motion....
