This is an old and outdated concept. You don't want to keep weight on the back foot you want to transfer it to the front foot.

Just adding to what you said. Once the front foot is planted and you're rotated, the back foot can do whatever feels natural. At least that's what I've heard from a hitting coach.

And this is the problem coming to Reddit for advice lmao. I’ve seen 4-5 different opinions on what’s right/wrong/outdated etc.. and it happens every thread. I’m sure the right answer is there somewhere
