A Thought
Glad to help. A thought for when you are "pounding seeds" out there. The only way I know how to keep the same degree up waist bend from start up to top is by using the right forearm takeaway. I "feel" as though my elbow travels on a crescent path around my rib cage. This of course includes a fanning motion, no lawn mowers! Obviously we need to tilt the axis (# 2 if you count the waist bend as #1) at start down. I try then to maintain that degree of axis tilt (varies from club to club) all the way to finish e.g. steeper for short irons...flatter for say a driver. I used to try and maintain the angle of the spine from start up to finish, to no good effect. I think of it as waist bend gets me to top...axis tilt gets me to finish. The shoulders in my opinion should be slightly tilted in the follow through. I am stating a personal observation...I am not entirely sure if it squares up chapter and verse, but it has at least been a useful seems as if!
