In a general sense it is easier for many people to learn PMTS movements by starting with a one footed release (the phantom move). As skills progress they learn the movements needed to perform a TFR.
Carving on groomed runs can be a one or two footed release. As the turns become tighter (for example, in a SL course) I am likely to use more of a one footed release because its quicker release and more dynamic.
As I venture into off piste terrain the TFR becomes very important. Especially if the snow is deep or heavy.
In Bumps I will use a combination if the snow is firm.

The Phantom Move will move your skiing along more quickly from lower levels. It will also assure that when you do learn the TFR you are doing it with the proper background, so you don't regress.
Thank you HH.
But I am a bit baffled by this sentence, " ......it's conveying more obviously how you should stand on your skis when the going gets tough."

What I meant is that "how is one footed release conveys more obviously how one should stand on the skis?"
