As for the free leg, you want to turn the leg out a little but not so much that it tips you over to the left and makes you drop your shoulder. If you are flexible, then you need think of keeping the leg just parallel to the ice or you will lift it too high and throw yourself off balance. If you are not very flexible, then you may want to lift it as high as you can. But whatever you do, focus on keeping it just parallel to the ice until after you have hooked the spin. Pulling your leg up too quickly will always pull you off balance.
