Good one...I think that is Bubba Watson, who plays left handed, so for a right hander swinging like this he would be a right leg pivotal axis player, at least for the driver. I have noticed that some of the long drive guys appear to do this. They tee the ball very high, and stay back on the right leg.

In this sequence, note that Bubba tees the Ball ahead of Low Point. The result is an Upward Swing Path, less spin and, accordingly, more distance (but also less control due to the 'knuckle ball' effect). The high tee is required because he would 'Top' -- or even swing over -- the Ball if it were pegged lower.
I was just joking around with that Bubba Picture. It was the Farthest one I could find from one who Drives with the Right Leg. But, it's still pretty amazing how far he can hit the ball with that pivot. I don't know if that affects the "mechanical advantage" comparison.
