Your power source for the takeaway

Reading the April issue of Golf Digest Tiger's new guru, Sean Foley, describes the role of the legs as "shock absorbers" that "absorb the motion you are about to create" I think this is spot on but it begs the question; what motion are your legs supporting?

In order to complete the takeaway on plane the shoulders must power the first third of the swing. Turning parallel to your belt the clubhead will move exponentially to the distance the shoulders travel. Once you begin to turn the shoulders try to keep your right shoulder (for righties) as far away from your left knee as possible. This will stabilize your lower half and allow you to maintain right knee flex. That's correct by focusing on right shoulder left knee separation you will maintain the proper right knee flex
.
Any thoughts?
