Without a doubt it does play a role, but I can't see that it is what does the powering. Maybe I am missing your point.

Point is the legs are the motor.

Well that makes it simple, we disagree. TGM doesn't support the legs as the motor and I don't subscribe that either.

I would ask if the legs are the motor, then what would be the type legs reqguire to play power golf? (Like in running, sprint runners vs long distance running.) Also how did Hogan do it after his accident. At the LA Open he could barely walk but yet he cranked to ball out there.

The biomechanics and speicifc exercises for golf seem to support that legs /lower body require strength for stabiliztion as well as endurance to play 36 holes. Now the lower body does control the hips, amount of rotation, amount slide possible.

I tried kicking my right knee inward to move my hip. I had to reach the run out before the hip was moved my this motion. That basically would place the knee in what may be considered post impact position or close to it. Shifting weight? Is this changing the pressure between legs? Still no power generation that I can feel.
