Hip action and motion

Sounds like you slide the hip toward the target while moving the pivot and head away from the target. In other words, your backswing consists of 50% rotational and 50% lateral movement, which is just your way (or interpretation) of making the backswing. Nothing seriously wrong except a bit more complicated and difficult to control.

When I look at pictures of pros it looks like their hip hardly move until their shoulders are almost at full turn.
I believe theirs are a lot more (if not entirely) rotational. Besides, it takes a hip action reverse to that of the shoulders to restrict its own motion (instant "Pivot Lag" loading), instead of trying to keep it steady while making the shoulder turn. Just like what seems a pause at the top is actually the result of "Clubhead Lag" loading. what seems a steady head is actually the result of pure pivot ratation. What seems a "XXX" is actually the result of "OOO".

How about the downswing? It's simple, just the opposite. Turn the shoulders toward the ball while turning the hips away (from it) synchronized right at the begining and then coming down together. Watch
AK's swing, who probably has the least (if not none) downswing lateral hip motion among the pros, and imagine how he makes the move.

Another typical case of "seeing is one thing, doing is another".

Quote:
My hips turn with the shoulders-from the very start. Then my hips stop at 45 and my shoulder keep turning.
That's the typical "text-book" move. There is nothing wrong with it, as long as the "Pivot Lag" got loaded eventually.

Quote:
I would like to have them still at the start and then pulled around by the shoulders.

Any suggestions?
Well, try that "opposite" move and see how it works.

YOU load and sustain the "LAG", during which the "LAW" releases it, ideally beyond impact.
"Sustain (Yang/陽) the lag (Yin/陰)" is "the unification of Ying and Yang" (陰陽合一).
The "LAW" creates the "effect", which is the "motion" or "feel", with the "cause", which is the "intent" or "command".
"Lag" is the secret of golf, passion is the secret of life.
Think as a golfer, execute like a robot.
Rotate, twist, spin, turn.
Bend the shaft.
