HI Tom,
What is the desired spine tilt at address and at the top from the front view. Tilting toward the ball but not the target correct? Conventional swing I was told slightly tilted away (5-6 degrees) from target at address and then rotate, so the top position should be same tilt 5-6 degrees away from target but toward the ball. Your videos look like it's more vertical possibly even tilted toward target at times. I'm not too concerned about degrees but wanted to know what the goal at the top was. On a similar topic, in order to achieve 55/45, at address the weight distribution to the Left, does it affects the spine tilt (head stay still) or is it lateral bump Left (head moves too) to achieve the 55/45? Thanks in advance and love all the videos so far!

Hi @nahreat,
I'm glad to know that you are enjoying the school!
Stack & Tilt does not prescribe tilting away from the target at address. Simply assume a neutral, stacked position with your weight evenly balanced and your hands even with the inside of your lead thigh. Then simply bump your lead hip slightly towards the target while leaving everything else in place. This simple move will get you to 55/45 without any change to your swing center, and that is critical. Chapter 1 should describe this quite well.
To supplement this, I've attached below an excerpt from the S&T book in which Andy Plummer demonstrates the spine condition from address to the top of the backswing.
