Any time you'd like, I can demonstrate how wrong you are about this.

So should this be mentioned in a golf discussion forum? Duh. According to Hogan, starting with hips, moving the weight to the front leg before the shoulders and arms start-- is only "the most important thing in the golf swing."

Perhaps you should address yourself to the question presented, and stop trying to set your own agenda in every thread in which you post...
...just some friendly advice.

The golf swing is pretty simple-- IF the golfer would simple execute every fundamental correctly every swing. But since nobody can do that-- "the most important" would seem to be where we should focus our attention.

I don't know about everyone, Larry: I don't claim omniscience, but I can make a fundamentally correct golf swing.
And yes, weight transfer is important, but only in the context of the goal of hitting each club as far as possible while maintaining accuracy (since shorter clubs are generally easier to hit with greater accuracy).
If you accept that a swing with less weight transfer won't generate as much power, then you can hit it straight while standing on your back leg if you swing properly.
But to put it into the context of the original question, that will have a definite effect on the proper ball position.
