The Setup
Proper Spine Tilt
Spine tilt is another important factor. In order to create a positive Angle of Attack (hitting up at the ball), you must have the correct spine tilt. Note the correct spine tilt in Figure 3. Here the spine is tilted away from the target and the angle of the spine is then maintained on the backswing and downswing thus allowing the golfer to be in a better position behind the ball to hit up through impact.
"Demonstrated Below"
1 Incorrect Spine Tilt
2 Incorrect Spine Tilt
3 Correct Spine Tilt
Note how the incorrect spine tilt looks (Figures 1 & 2 "Incorrect Spine Tilt" ). When incorrect, the golfer's spine tilt is almost straight up and down or even leaning forward.
