Last night Martin Hall advocated tilting the spine to the right illustrating the procedure by holding the driver down the center spine line pointing directly between both feet & then dropping the right shoulder to the right until the grip hits the inside of your left thigh.The procedure was to allow one to hit the sweet spot of the driver ( upper left quadrant of the modern driver & promote an upswing at impact. Not sure about this, any thoughts.
Not sure when in the process he is talking about that move. TGM would advocate keeping the head in the center of your stance though and right shoulder back and down. then a tilt on downswing with right shoulder on plane.
Might all be the same thing.
havent heard the modern driver on left upward aft before, be interested in hearing others thoughts on that.
Do I remember correctly that Ben Doyle has you set up with a tilt. If you set up with a tilt then I guess a hulu hulu motion is not needed. then Martin tilted the spine toward to hole and then back. So I guess I understand him slightly tilting at address, tilting to the hole then hulu hulu slide on downswing. Golly I guess that is a lot of motions. Then his rubbish section said down't turn perpendicular to spine as would promote hook. This has got to be a confusing area. If you turn perpendicular to spine what prevents OTT move. Ah hip slide hulu hulu and then where does the goat humping, spine extension standing up come in. There is sure a lot of conflicting information out here on the forums. How do you match it all up and keep you head straight.
If you require more Axis Tilt at Address, simply keep your Head centered between your feet and slide your Hips left without moving your Head.
David,
If I asked you to throw a golf club (preferrably and old one that has mis-behaved for an extended period of time) on Plane, down the fairway toward the target (which is on the Plane Line in this case), would you goat-hump your Hips in the direction of where the now missing ball would be placed?

What did Martin Hall recommend for the long bomb C.G. ? Plane line , face angle , ball position, point of contact on the ball etc.
I believe Martin is Trackman savvy in addition to being a TGM'r, which could/maybe/ perhaps make for a different procedure given total Homer's total compression via Horizontal, 2-C.

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 . . .
those pictures are later in the swing, I always thought of axis tilt as taking place at impact. If you look at Jack at impact it is not a big move, which is why he had such great balance and more consistent than Tiger, IMO.
