Weight transfer in my golfswing…does hip rotation make the transfer more natural?

i just got back from the range…and im a terrible at range adjuster…if im not hitting well, sometimes my swing gets even worse from trying too hard…anyhow, i do my analysis afterwards…im having a huge problem with weight transfer (i had a reverse pivot…it still sneaks back in but not as bad right now)…but im beginning to think it might be due my hips not rotating enough…would you guys say with a fuller turn of the hips…the weight will more naturally go to my back heel? it feels like that as i swing in my living room.

your hips at the max of your backswing should point your belt buckle (or center of your belt) at your right thigh(if your right handed, Left if your left handed). What most people here seem to be leaving out is YOUR HIPS START THE DOWNSWING. yes your hips have to get out of the way and that is why you turn them but it only works if they are the FIRST movement of the downswing. If they are not then your better off not turning them in the first place because your going to block the shot dead right and hurt yourself if you swing fast enough.
