I'll agree with BlueDog on this and take it even further. If you stay back and load properly, stance width, toe touch, and even heal plant can (should?) occur independent of the rear hip thrust/drive without losing power or consistency. IMO, this is a comfort and personal style aspect of the swing.

In an instruction environment, you can use a wide or narrow stance to promote a feeling. For example, I worked with a HS player last night who severely bent his lead leg during his swing. It looked like he sank/dropped into his swing. I had him take some swings with his feet together and no stride so he could feel "staying tall."
