hi Go Low
his hips shift to the left about 6 inches and his left knee breaks to the target just the same at Trevino does.
if you hold back this hip shift in this type of swing then you lose so much power, i know as i have tried it.
it not just the legs but the body and arms that all add up to making the swing powerful, in this type of open stance swing you have to have a hip slid and and also let your arms react to what has happened in the backswing.
the whole basis of Mindy Blake's swing is in the reflex actions of the arms and hands and once your in the backswing you do nothing to control you hands or arms, you just let them react and it works really well.
i know what your saying and i agree with most types of swings what you say is right but in an open stance swing you cant swing around your spine without sliding your hips, if you did not slid your hips you would come into the ball from out to in, and with the open stance swing you have to use a push shot and that requires you to use your lower body so you have an in to out swing.

cheers
