It's a lot easier if you don't actually think about the hips, but think about how your pushing with your feet. It's not really a flexibility thing unless you have extreme mobility limitations. This will help : ▶ this video ▶ this video I watched a lot of vids and these two shorts unlocked the concept for me better than all of them combined and in 1/2000 the time lol.

You're rotating your hips but you're not really using them for your swing. Let me try to explain it to you as I just had my mind blown last week when I finally understood what it means to use your hips in the golf swing. This took me months to get a grasp of so I'll try to save you the time. The hips opening and rotating is a reaction to the ground forces you're interacting with your feet. You already know how to do …

I think this is another industry teaching failure. You don't actively try to "rotate" the hips around your spine to be open at impact as a cause for rotation. Doing that leads to early extension, spinning out, over the top swings, and a lot of pressure on your lower back, etc. The hip get open because of the pressure from your legs trying to keep the pelvis away from the ball.

I would look at Sir Nick Faldo ▶ this video and Giles Gill ▶ this video to find a new flatter torque power zone.

I don’t always like this guys videos, but this is a useful cue. ▶ this video I’d say that thought of pushing the feet against the ground, and just slowing down the transition from backswing to swing should do it for you. You don’t really need to be that mobile, and it’s not really important to actually follow through with the hips. You can strike the ball well without a lot of hip rotation.
