I think that the hip bump is automatic if you get the lead shoulder down enough at the top of the back swing.
one less swing thought. If tilted enough at the top, the hips move forward a bit by default when you start your hip turn. Remember, it’s very difficult to get that lead shoulder too low on the back swing.
@Bill K - Indeed, many golfers struggle with getting that lead shoulder down enough (or pointing at the ball, as Arnold Palmer said), and it definitely can set things on autopilot with regard to properly initiating the downswing.
It all comes down to which of the "feels" conveyed in the various lessons and drills resonate best with each individual golfer, as they are all designed to get us onto the proper track towards achieving consistently crispy ball striking bliss!

This is my experience anyway.
