Not Yoda......BUT I think if you watch Jack swing you can see that his left heel is picked up by his hip turn which influences his knees which pulls up his heel. He says in the orig. Golf My Way video that Jack Grout had him do a drill where he would do small swings (kinda like acquired motion) and he would roll on the inside of each foot going back then through. Like a Yoda "left right left right". He doesn't restrict anything but since he is making small swings he doesn't lift his heels but just rolls to the inside.

A side note: being from Columbus I grew up very aware of Jack and his record and swing. I always wondered how he hit it so far if the "x-factor"/other teachers saying restrict the lower body against the upper body was true. Is the secret in how he starts forward with his legs and hips while still going up with his hands and arms?

As far as the X-Factor goes, if a player could rotate their shoulders 90degrees while limiting their hip turn to 45degrees, wouldn't it be safe to say that if that golfer were to free up their lower body and allow the hips to turn to 60degrees, their shoulder turn would also increase by the same amount? Look at Bubba Watson for instance; his lower body turns a lot more than your typical Tour pro, as evidence by how high his left heel gets, and he's one of the longest players in his generation, as Jack was in his. So utilizing a bigger turn through unrestricted motion of the lower body creates the opportunity for more power through a strong leg drive, which really cranks up that gyroscope and sends that Flail screaming through the ball. Well that's my two-cents on the matter anyways
