If there is a relationship between the feet, knees and hips then why is his right heel the ground

Mike Hebron talks about keeping the right elbow in front of the right hip, is that takin place here ?
Hogan isn't posing. His Swing was quick. After a nice slide of the hips, then a turn, the right hip lifts the right foot. the right foot doesn't move itself. The hips FOLLOW on the backswing and LEAD on the downswing. There is no stopping them- let them rip. Hopefully the hip action has been trianed to delivery the arms, hands and clubhead to the ball so they can "rip" without and obstruction or a roundhouse move.

Elbow. PUNCH or PITCH, both Elbow Postions for Swingers, the elbow will move to the front of the hips because the arms are moving and the body is turning. I think Hogan used PUNCH more than not, maybe deeper than most mortals. With PITCH, the elbow leads the hands into the pivot with a later trigger snap release. Hogan didn't snap everything.
