I have heard that another fairly well known instructor, uses the Right Leg as the Pivotal Axis, the weight is on the right leg through the ball. I think Zach Johnson is a right leg guy.

I looks like it can be done either way, as long as one knows how to make that way work. How about some discussion on BOTH WAYS.
Interesting. Stack and Tilt? I stopped reading the Golf Rags years ago.

If you pivot on your left Leg, then the Right Hip moves toward the Plane Line and you may not clear the Right Hip using a Straight Line Delivery Path. A little Over-The-Top occurs unless you simply slide left until Release. But there’s not much Hip Action there. And, How far Forward can the Right Hip move if it’s being pulled by the Left Hip? It Starts to Jam up near Impact. I spent years doing it that way.


Very similar to the Right Shoulder controlling the Left Shoulder, so does the Right Hip Control the Direction and Travel Distance of the Left Hip.
Baseball, Football, etc, use the Right Leg for the Hips to Pivot around and supply forward Hip Thrust.

The Right Leg serves as a backstop for the Shoulder Turn Both Ways.
