Secondary tilt and low point

[Janik]

Hi guys, and Monte if you read this,

 

I have stumbled upon various videos of Monte stating the importance of secondary tilt in the golf swing. Indeed it has been a revelation for myself in terms of solving my OTT and allowing me to hit from the inside of the ball. 
 

However, one thing I now struggle with is low point control. Basically I am either thinning the ball a bit, hitting it high, or fat. Logically this makes sense as tilting right would bring the low point further back. 
 

So my question is; what is the trick or technique to have both secondary tilt AND a low point after the ball (for iron shots). How do tour pros hit low flighted wedges with their head behind the ball?!

 

Many thanks,

Janik

Earlier lead side pressure. By the time you're at left arm parallel in the backswing you should be starting to shift to the lead side.

The first key is the word some.  The second key is not going into early right tilt to start downswing….if you do figure out why

To the idea of not getting into too much axis tilt too early…

1. Lead shoulder stays down P4-P5/push lead side down at P5/keep the shoulders closed P4-P5 (whatever works for ya).

 

2. At P5-5.5 (your choice), turn trail shoulder towards the ball. Shoulder points "at ball"... I mean, it doesn't necessarily, but it's not the worst image. 

 

Here's Mr. Snead combining tilt and turn. He's not bad:

Thanks for the input guys. 
 

For reference: my practice was with an 8 iron with left eye just behind the ball, so I don’t think that is excessive tilt? I also attempt to maintain that tilt angle and turn around it, not consciously increase it on the way down.
So how would that bring the low point back?

 

Thanks again.

I've been struggling with this one a bit myself lately. I've come to similar conclusions via my own tinkering.

 

Still looking for that "right" feel. Lots of good stuff to think about here.

 

Monte's typically terse and cryptic answer seems like the key - it's a matter of how much and when/where in the swing it's applied.
