Ok.. on my cell... so this will be choppy...
Regarding "transferring weight" and rocking. I'm not opposed to either... just the way many do so... i.e. head over butt back, bend at waist forward.
Using the lower half of the body efficiently is 99.99% of the time a "timing" issue. Sorry for the redundancy there...
Quantity or quality of lower half movement is secondary to the timing and recruitment of muscles.
It is in that statement that I believe that ENGAGEMENT of lower half muscles is the first step in improving drive... and subsequently, posture.
An engaged drive leg is one that is ready to do work earlier, than later. Position determines this. The nose should be slightly in front of the drive knee, and the knee in front of the drive toes. This position requires work to be done forward. The timing of this position is key... needs to happen prior to an athlete being too far into the backswing.
[MENTION=2313]knightsb[/MENTION] gave a good example of a drill that creates this... the pushback... not a self-serving recommendation... it's the main reason I created it.
