It doesn't mean that you can't ever use your feet a bit. But if you watch you start with your feet in the back and then you kick them out to the front. So of course your going to swing and then your will be giving up a lot of strength trying to restabilize.
Another thing is you always have a "chest up" attitude. You never hang neutral. I don't mean you have to "dead hang" and let the static reflex melt but you are holding your body forward and you legs back. So you have to fight this tendancy to pendulum.
If your legs are going to be back and you are not going to use them then it would probably help if you ended each rep underneath the bar.
If on the other hand you end up needing to use you feet by kickig the knees forward then the trick is to end the rep by letting the legs down. And then back up in a fluid motion. This way you arrest that motion each time a stabilize without extra effort.
I actually have my pullup bar set up to swing like a tapeze...but I don't swing back and forth. So I know you can do it on a stable bar!
