[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!
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.
One of the reasons a lot of folks could benefit from the way Mike Austin/Dunaway approach the setup process - setting the left arm and club inline first (left flying wedge) and then kicking in the right knee slightly to lower the right shoulder and add the right hand grip.
An excellent way for hitters to setup to the ball (see Ted for the perfect example of this approach).
Very useful for encouraging a hitter's crossline hip motion, and tends to error towards closed shoulders rather than open. Can be 'overdone' however (too much tilt).
