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.
Certainly . . . those "positions" later in the swing BUT those positions are arrived at from moving through other positions. Are you submitting that the differences in the pics are just "window dressing"? So all these pics have the potential to produce the same ball flight in terms of curvature, spin and trajectory? I'm all ears . . . .
When I think of Axis tilt I think of it face on at impact. I mean a guy like Charlie Wi can get that look at those points in the swing and he has less tilt than most at impact.
If you are going to look down the line it shows up pretty good as well, look at Ricky Fowler versus say Mac O' Grady at impact, big, no make it huge difference.

I don't think you can tell ball flight by those pics. Would depend on ball position. Nicklaus had different flight than Trevino but each could produce the others.

Dude how many green jackets does lee buck have. Plus in his day fat Jack was waaaay longer than his peers. Lee included..... Lee had low ball mechanics......Jack had moon ball mechanics.......

We talking height or distanc. Lee Buck could hit it high when he wanted, but not as long as jack.
Whats that got to do with axis tilt? That simply allows the power package to be delivered at the right location. Anyone worth a damn has some, but it is not true IMO that the more the better, or the farther.
With all due respect, between the late 1960's and early-mid 1970's, Lee didn't play in 5 or 6 Masters (which was during the prime of his career).
We will never know what would have happened had he played, but after watching Lee during those years, I think it is safe to say he certainly could have won at least one Masters.
Is there any doubt that he was one of the game's great players?
