This golf.com video is called A New Move for Powerful Strikes but the move really isn't new, as you'll see in the second video below.
The video is from Golf Magazine's Top100 Teachers Mike Bennett and Andy Plummer, perhaps better known as the Stack and Tilt guys. But before you skeptics pooh-pooh their advice in this video, I'd advise you to watch it and then read the rest of this post.
Their advice is very simple: Straighten your trailing knee on the backswing, then let it relax again on the downswing and straighten again to push through to the finish. While this is one of the key moves in the Stack and Tilt swing, it's not really such a 'new move.' The next video proves it.
Just test this clip of Arnold Palmer, made back in his prime. All you want to look at is the first 20 seconds or so... I assume you'll see the precise identical leg action being made by using the King.
Given that Arnie changed into any such strength hitter, and given how solidly he hit the ball even if he wasn't going for power, you may need to test with this flow and see if it works along with your swing.
I trust it was Solomon who stated, "There is nothing new beneath the solar." This 'new circulate' certainly fits into that class.
