Let's discuss exactly how one should bend to the ball. Tom Tomasello used to teach to bend with the knees locked, then unlock the knees, then "sit a little." He liked the back fairly straight, and the head UP. That was part of the routine. This is one way. I know there are others. Include in the discussion... variables, such as PELVIS DIFFERENCES, FLEXIBILITY, LENGTH OF LIMBS, ETC.
i like the idea of sitting on a bar stool (even at the tee box )- it gives a very Ernie Els like look.

I was taught to set my address bend to my Flying Wedges alignments. The back is less straight or ridged as most instruction is given. More convex- straight from tailbone to the shoulder blades- then curved from shoulders to head. The head is lowered to see the ball directly. Less Silver Back Gorilla looking. Look at Adam Scott and do the opposite.
Check out how Brian Gay addresses the ball. “Just set up perfectly each time” as Lynn says.

I don't know much else about Pelvis, Flexibility or arm length. I think that whatever you want the Flying Wedges to do, set up around that.
