Two of the best players still in their 20s on the PGA Tour, J.B. Holmes and Anthony Kim understand completely what it means to maintain a forward-tilting spine angle through impact. Also, notice the separating of the hands from the body. By maintaining the forward upper-body lean, the arms/hands have more room to store lag and eventually release over the golf ball. If these angles are lost, it’s because the spine is upright, which if it happens, will translate into poor consistency and lousy ground contact.
The last thing you can learn here is their head positions. They’re facing the ball! Don’t feel like you need to keep your head down or lift it too far up. Keep it facing the ball, and you’ll rotate more effectively.
