People who have seen pros in person would have a much better perspective on the hip action and hip turn. On the computer screen, the golfer is only a few inches tall, so the lower body looks extremely quiet. I can barely detect a hip slide on a 5 inch tall golfer on the computer screen. Even on television , the golfer on a 27 inch tv may look only a foot tall, and the hip action doesn't look any more pronounced. I am assuming that those who have seen pros up close would detect much more pronounced and even 'exagerrated' ( compared to what one usually sees on the computer screen and tv)hip action from a 6 ft tall golfer. I could never wrap my mind around hip slide and hip rotation from teeny weeny pics and video.

I've never seen a pro up close, so I don't know. However, the 2 best ball strikers I have seen at the range have more hip motion than I normally see. One, who is a senior, uses more hip slide than the average hacker. The other, has very little hip slide, if at all, but roates the lower body much more quickly than us duffers. He doesn't look like he swings hard with his arms. looks like a drop and rotation.
