Should I feel resistance in my right hip during the back swing?

[Taiwanese]

I am trying to determine the feel on my backswing.

I have a great takeaway and a good on plane upper body turn, but I have a lot of doubts in my hips.

In my head there are two hip rotations. One being everything turns with my upper body resulting in a weird look in my right hips.

The other one is as if my whole body is turing into my right hip creating LOTS of resistance in my right hip and my upper back.

If any of this makes sense please determine which one is more correct. Both of them looks good in video except the one rotation where everything turns tend to leave my right knee firing out to the right on the downswing.

Plane and clubs looks good, but I am making some bad shots occasionally which are some very poor shots.

I'm not sure which rotation is right because I can't determine which one is leading towards the mishots.

Any tips or advices are greatly appreciated.

PS: Sorry for the poor structure statement due to the fact that is it quite hard to get this all to words with my poor grammar.

A better way to decribe it is that you are coiling back on you back swing with your hips to create tension which is part of your source for power.

Some pros would describe like as if they were squatting down on a stool.

I think that relates to my second rotation method which is to turn into my hips. I feel it really creates a tremendous amount of torque that way.

I will try it at the range again.

Now should I be feeling that in all shots including chipping and pitching?

Two schools of thought on this.
Bobby Jones used a lot of hip rotation and it's still valid, especially if it helps your timing and makes you do a full turn.
Jim McLean came out with his X Factor torque analysis in the '90's.
Hip rotation became more restricted with the emphasis placed on shoulder rotation vs hips with the intent to create more torque which would create more speed. I think there has been some reassessment done on this by McLean recently.
Jones' method is smoother and just as effective if you are a swinger with a flowing long arc. It's also less prone to cause back problems later.

In either case you will and should feel a tightening of the right side of your butt.
