Kidou seems highly dependent on the caster's power level. Byakuya makes a low level spell like #4 white lighting *extremely* powerful. Also there seems to be an indication that hierro (arrancar steel skin) has very little effect on stopping kidou.
And also you have to consider kidou is not like zanjutsu. There is no physical motion like a sword swing that you can telegraph. It's an instantaneous affect after a high level caster points in a general direction and then skips the incantation. Kind of like the difference between dodging a punch and dodging a BB gun.
Now this isn't much of a manga spoiler, because its not saying much, but I'll throw in this tidbit: Byakuya is a VERY high level caster.
