Some of this waist bend stuff has to do with the shot at hand. Also, not sure that it's good to have the image of the spine as a "rod" stick straight . . .. cuz it ain't. However I think there is an advantage to considering an axis of rotation that the spine, hips, knees and shoulder comply with. For the head to stay steady the hips and spine have to do some bending and unbending.

Also . . . from an optics stand point . . . chin down . . . not up.
Why can't I find anyone who sets up on the turned shoulder plane
per 10-6-b #1???? The benefits would be a shiftless swing.
