This topic seems to come up a lot and it seems not everyone agrees. My personal opinion is restricting hip turn just so you can get good separation between hips and shoulders to get more power. If you are restricting hip turn for that reason then I believe you are making a big mistake and costing power not helping it. I think at minimum the hips should turn 45 degrees and the shoulders another 45 degrees beyond that. I have hip flexibility issues so this is always a battle. My shoulder have always been plenty flexible though. If the answer of why you restrict the hips is because of x-factor yada yada yada stop doing it. I believe the dude who came up with the x factor which is the bigger the separation between hips and shoulders the more power you will get has since clarified that while the more separation you have the more power you have it does not apply or mean you should restrict the hips in order to get the large separation.
I tend to have opinions on everything and stick with them until I figure out they are wrong so don't take this thread as an attack on people golf ability or knowledge. It would take years for me to get to a place where I would even ponder the idea of trying to become a teaching pro. All I am now is an avid golfer, luckily I found a site with tons of people that are golf nerds like myself.
So what is your guys opinion on the matter.
