The recent KFC Club video that you did on the importance of tilting correctly clicked for me. I realized after watching that, that I had been doing something more like a squat and therefore was too level. I liked the illustration of pushing your belt buckle back and bending forward from the waist. I tried it in my round on Saturday and it made a big difference. I felt that I was able to maintain my relationship with the ball much better and keep my left arm straighter because I had room to swing the club. It's funny how every person just needs to see it in a particular way for it to stick. That's why I like that you make multiple videos illustrating the same principle. Sooner or later, you are going to make one that turns on the light bulb for someone who has been struggling. Thanks.

Nice work, @Jari Hissa! An incorrect setup can ruin our swing before we even take the club back. For reference the S&T book offers plenty of detail on the various components of the setup/posture.
Hi Bob
I just realised i have the exact same problem. I have pushed my butt back too much and have too much knee bend and it makes it hard to turn the shoulder down and also on the downswing i bend forward on the waist steepening my downswing.
This has been my posture.
Now i have started to take the proper posture and it FEELS like i am extremely bent over and almost like falling forward, but now the body motions feel much more smooth and the club stays correctly on plane
That's great, Bob! I'm glad you found KFC from a KFC video. I bet it felt nice to really get the sensation of TILT in your swing instead of the squatting/swaying that you were experiencing.
You're right about that, FEELS are so different for each player that we probably could describe the TILT in a million different ways to get the point across.
Thanks for the kind words and keep up the great work!
Tom
