Mike, I would say they have to slide a little else the weight never gets on the left side. If you look at those clips Adam and Tiger definitely turn, slide, turn -unless its one of those optical illusions.

If you just turned your hips from the top you would just spin around your right leg. However as you say, slide too much and you will push/block

Such fine margins

I find using the feet and legs to drive the DS just makes my hips work the way they are supposed to. If I ever tried to consciously use my hips I slide or spin out -- one or the other
