It’s OK to lift your left foot off the ground a little. And current players such as Bubba Watson do it also. Lifting your left heel up will help you rotate your hips for a bigger turn in your backswing.
Also the question is, is it OK to lift front heel in backswing? Letting your left heel come off the ground during your backswing can help you make a full turn. I’ve always let my heel rise because my trunk is not as flexible as some golfers’, and I have a long backswing. Other players can keep the heel on the ground and complete a fully coiled shoulder rotation—either way works.

Your weight should be 50-50 on your left and right legs and between the balls of your feet (those cushioned pads just below your toes) and your heels. I’m surprised how many people think their weight should be supported by their toes. Starting with your weight too far forward is one of the worst mistakes you can make.
