Pushing Up With The Back Foot/Leg

[Dornenglanz]

My Dad showed me this video:

The presenter argues for "pushing off" from the back foot, using legs and glutes.  What are folks' thoughts about this?  I instinctively didn't like it, because I've been taught "hips tucked", with the rear foot banking rather than pushing off.

The rear foot and leg does almost nothing in the golf swing. It's extended, so it can't "push." If you look at just about any good golf swing, the trail leg regains flex early in the downswing. The opposite of "pushing."

The core can move your hips forward a bit. Maybe your glutes (though probably not because, again, you're regaining flexion)… So, not a fan of this video. It's not what actually happens in the golf swing.
