Leverage off the backside? Or leverage as in swing flexion, a balanced position at foot plant?

That is what TM is getting at but he is saying you can only do that (e.g. not bleed your coil) with a front foot which has very little pressure on it.
I wouldn't say balanced 50/50.. One doesn't want the weight to transfer across the pelvis to the front leg but to maintain the rear leg/hip relationship.. I view the movement as a total body movement leveraging all available resources, with obliques heavily involved..
I read it was called cushion in the legs (front leg) Positional hitter book.

Depends on what your definition of "1-legged" is I guess...
I will end any potential arguments by admitting right here and now
that you are 100% correct based upon your definition..
He doesn't keep the hands locked into the back shoulder.
