All this faux "secondary axis tilt" effectively moves the ball forward . . . no?
So . . .
Why not position the ball further forward and thus eliminate the need for a "greater amount of secondary axis tilt" and the "stationary head further back"?
P.S. For newbies, there is no such term as "secondary" axis tilt in TGM. After
Homer died, 'others' (I've heard
Mac, but don't know for sure -- help requested from those who may know) interjected this term to differentiate between the dynamic Axis Tilt (lower spine tilted
sideward during the Downstroke via the Weight / Hip Shift per 2-H and 7-14) and the requisite
forward tilt" at Address (which Homer identified simply as "Waist Bend").
Bottom line: Axis Tilt is Axis Tilt. The Spine (Axis of the Shoulder Turn), having been positioned at Address, either Tilts
during the Stroke or it does not. Unless you mean something else. In which case, say so. Or don't. Other than in this post, I
never have used the term "secondary axis tilt". I strongly advise all who are interested in introducing and preserving a unified golfing terminology do the same.
