Finding a swing that works or a method is key, ut sounds like you found that. Knowing how and why it works is even more powerful.Well these are not my original thoughts they have been shared with me but they make sense to me and my filmed swing backs them up. I'm a firm believer in the mind's power over the golf swing. Visualising the target line and what type of shot you intend to play will in some way affect how the body moves to try to achieve it.
Perhaps another factor at play here is rear eye dominance. I am right handed and right eye dominant and I putt, chip and pitch best open stance because I can see the line and commit to it. Extending that to the full swing with a few set up alterations was a natural progression for me which is the best decision I ever made in playing golf!
While playang with an open stance does free up the hips. It doesn't shallow out the golf swing. Yours may be shallow but the act of opening tr stance does not cause this.
