Questions about Jon Rahm example - Lead side as Axiom trigger?

Questions about Jon Rahm example - Lead side as Axiom trigger? Hi, I have 2 questions about Jon Rahm's lead foot in the example shown, specifically his lead heel. 1. It appears as if magnitude of the pressure shift is greater for his lead heel than his trail. So on the backswing it comes completely off the ground. On the swing it the weight goes right to the back of of the heel to the extent that the foot actually pivots towards the target. Having experimented with this it feels like this is a good way to help keep the tush line. Just feel like a pressure wave is actually going through your foot, out through your heel and don't feel it's planted but let it pivot a bit. Is this OK/even the right thing to do? 2. I'm a right hander who plays golf left handed. Using Axiom for my left hand works great as it gives me a sense of what it should be doing with my left hand. However I feel disconnected from my left foot. I think I have heard Chuck mention that you could use the lead foot instead of the trail. The pressure shift is still the same (anti clockwise for me) but differs in the timing. If this is OK a video on this might be worth doing? I don't think I am alone, especially I suspect there are quite a few left handers who play golf right handed + even among natural right handers I thought some folks were more lead side dominant so it may suit them as well. Referring back to my first question if you are already used to feeling the lead foot Axiom is easier as the pressure differentials are more pronounced to the extent (as in Jon Rahm's case) that the heel comes off the ground at one point then the toes at another.
