Firm right need rather than having knee flex at address? Or u mean on take away?
Basically firm in that I want to keep the flex. Tighter feeling so that my coil is tighter and I don't get weight on the outside of my right foot.

Firm right need rather than having knee flex at address? Or u mean on take away?
I hit the range for a little over an hour tonight after work. Focused on 1) my problem child (aka. 6 iron) and finally got to a point where I was feeling super confident hitting that club, 2) working with problem child #2 (aka driver) and am getting more and more comfortable with it, and 3) working with my 9i and wedges from 140 yds and in. I'm feeling really really good about the shorter end of the bag right now.
For the longer clubs I've been hitting my 3W off the tee box lately, as I was just not seeing great accuracy with my driver. Tonight I decided to try lowering the tee a bit, as I felt like I have been hitting the ball too high on the club face. That worked freaking wonders! I was striking it so pure and flush, the balls felt like marshmallows. Accuracy was much improved, as well.
I'm heading back to the range on Friday and will spend the majority of my time on short game and putting and a little bit with the driver.

Zero desire to swing a golf club.....been like that for two weeks....crazy really. Never been like this ever.
Haha I'll be in Pinehurst buddyI'll be here all weekend.
This has been the hardest thing ever for me to change. I swear I have done 1,000 plus reps with a club and shadow boxing to ingrain this move, not to mention all the on course swings trying to make sure I did exactly this.
Keeping the leg firm but knee bent has also controlled the length of my backswing, it's impossible for me to take the club back too far on a firm right leg.
I believe I may have finally got it at least to where I believe it's right need to see my instructor to verify.
Keeping the flex but making the right leg firm and coiling on it has added crazy distance almost two clubs every club in the bag, has made me more accurate and I hear the ball slicing through the air.
Can do it with irons I figure I can do it with driver. Took lots of work to get there though!
Just went thru the Tour Academy lesson 1, working in GPA. I related my slice to grip and how right I was. My hands are hurting right now, as over the last few months I have let my grip become very weak and unconventional. You think my instructor would have pointed this out. Well I can tell you the alarm will be going off early tomorrow for a quick range session.
