Lifting the Left Heel

[JRJ]

ok, so I lift my left heel off the ground during my driver backswing, other than giving me chronic achilles tendonitis this doesn't seem to affect my golf swing. I've tried keeping it planted and I definitely feel a "better" pivot (more torque or stored energy if you will) The result however is same ball flight/same distance

so my takeaway is this is a non-issue, just go and play, don't worry about it....thoughts?

The left heel will lift if it must in order for you to make your back swing. It does not have to.

One of Brian's YouTube episodes dealt alot with how this could aid you in stressing the club in the transition.
