When it is working for you, I would video from different angles. Martin Green/Peter Croker (TGM through Tomasello) would be a source having the bottom of the spine closer to the target at address. Also, there was a recent article in Golf Tips where the pivot positions the left hip closer to the target at the "Top" with a spine tilt. The hips just rotate into delivery and there is no subsequent slide. Darren Clarke could be an example. However there is head movement in the latter and the head is not centered in the former. I would think your challenge would be identifying a pattern with TGM components.

Some book references:

1-L: "The mechanical device has no balance problem but the human machine does, and mastery of the Pivot (Zone#1) is so essential for good Golf."
1-L.1: "The Stationary Post (players head)...."
2-H: "The spine between the shoulders is the center of the Shoulder Turn......Through the Head" Pivot Center is recommended, it is not at all mandatory......On Plane Right Shoulder Motion is possible only by tilting its axis-the spine."
7-12: "ALL motion-Pivot and Power Package-moves parallel to the selected Delivery Line. That is, prior to the Downstroke Turn, a Slide parallel with either the Angle of Approach or the Plane Line..."
9-1: "The Pivot involves twisting the body and shifting the weight during the Stroke so as to maintain balance, a motionless head and any required tilt of the torso."
