Depends on different things but:

the more you're bent over the less tilt you will need
the more you stand up the more tilt you need.

This is why many hackers can hit a wedge well and a driver so poor. They don't know how to get that right shoulder downplane

Bent Over
 

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

The BENT OVER MORE guy is the Hardy One Planer. He does not need much TILT.

Waist bend is Forward Bend of the Torso..Axis Tilt is Lateral Bending of the Torso caused by the hips translating or sliding laterally but in the confines of the Tripod while keeping the upper center the head/base of the neck stationary...thus tilting the plane of the shoulder turn....

Tilted
 

There are also some that teach people to start off with a tilt of so many degrees(at setup). Others advocate the HANDS MORE AT MID-BODY, AND THE SHOULDERS AS LEVEL AS POSSIBLE AT ADDRESS(Reverse K vs. Tripod).


Also... do you see a correlation between those that bend over more at setup(down the line view), with less axis tilt(face on view), and those that stand taller, with more tilt(Mac O'Grady vs. Davis Love)?

What do you think for each of these?

Depends ....Deeper than I wan to go here!!!

2-N-1. Force Vectors

-B. The downward force results from the action of Axis Tilt (Hip Slide-7-14) and/or Uncocking left wrist (2-P) if there is any of either. Otherwise, the Lever Assemblies are dropped, pulled or pushed downward from their fulcrums (6-A).

Paula Creamer does exaggerate this a bit.

[quote=lagster]> About how many degrees should one tilt?

[quote]
I do not recall Mr Kelley referring to degrees in this regard. In fact, I think Homer only refers to degrees once or twice (rusty!), and I know one of them is in 2-G. In othewards, Homer wasn't concerned about degrees in regards to your question.

However!

The axis tilt should be enough to move the right shoulder on plane and enough to allow the hands to have a straight line relationship to the ball (all things being equal).

In otherwards, get the hands onplane and I would think (dangerous for me - thinking!) your axis tilt concerns would vanish!

5-0 and the 'wheel' 7-23 In a nutshell...

On plane pressure points.

Hit the ball with the pressure points in your hands.

Good to see you back online Philly.

There HAS TO be axis tilt at setup, HAS TO be because your right hand is lower on the club.

The only way NOT TO is if you setup with open shoulders.
