If you are running fast enough, you certainly don't have time to be moving from your outside stirrup and back to the inside one. All throwing your weight around does is slow down your horse. Also, if you have a hard turning horse, having your weight to the outside is a sure way to get lawn darted over their outside shoulder around a turn. I have found this method is also good at getting one to move out and then slice a barrel. Once they learn this method it's hell trying to get them to run up straight to the turn without wanting to step out away from it and then dive back to get to the barrel. Shifting your weight to the outside may be a "last resort" move to try and get one away from a barrel, but not one you want to use consistently. Staying centered and balanced, and having a horse run straight up into the turn is much faster. JMO.
