axis tilt

I would say that the Right-hand being lower on the club and any bend in the Right Arm would cause the Right Shoulder to be lower, but it doesn't have to cause axis tilt. I was taught for years to have the excess axis tilt at Address, but with an uncentered Head. With that amount of axis tilt, I couldn't play dead in a western movie because I couldn't manage Low Point.

In my present Hitting pattern, I have axis tilt at Address because of my Impact Address. My Head is centered, but my Hips are forward. Thus, the axis tilt is derived from the lower part of the axis being forward and the Head being centered, instead of the top of the axis being tilted back and the Hips being centered.
