I agree that long drive competitors need to brace their spine and left leg for maximum stability and I think that goal is best achieved when the spine is straight (extended) and the left leg is straight (extended), and the spine is angled back slightly so that the skeletal axis from the head to the left foot is optimised for power and balance.

Your photos demonstrate that even Jason has considerable secondary axis tilt at impact.

Jeff,

That is NOT at impact!
