Couple of notions/observations . . . . . Two ways to get the tilt . . . 1. Tilt your tea cup by sliding your hips=PREFERRED METHOD 2. Tilt your tea cup by dropping your head back=PERVERTS METHOD (by classicist of course) The plane of the arm swing is largely controlled by the trajectory of the shoulder turn (right shoulder geometry) . . . the plane/axis of the shoulder turn is largely controlled by the motion of the spine (extending and side bending) and hips . . . which in turn are largely a function of the flexion and extension of the knees. So this whole notion of how much axis tilt and how little axis tilt is relative . . . cats get skint different ways every day . . . BUT you'll find that a lot of bombers have tons of axis tilt . . . see below . . . this begs the question WHY? I think this goes back to trackman data (for us yellow book types . . . angle of approach and angle of attack . . . and conversely angle of "ascent"). Axis tilt basically allows these cats to achieve the launch conditions to bomb it . . . BUT some of these cats will miss a 50 yard fairway by 30 yards too. VERSUS Another piece to manipulating those trackman numbers is how fast you "RE-PLANE" the club . . .
