Can you give advice on how to keep tilted on the down swing with a bad lower back? I have trouble keeping the right shoulder down through the swing, and have weak iron shots that makes the ball look like a dead duck falling from the sky to the right!

@Kevin Murray @Tom Saguto I can speak from personal experience as I deal with a lot of lower back issues myself. Not sure if it hurts when you swing or if you just feel you can't get to the correct position, but generally, it's something else in your swing that's preventing you from keeping the shoulder down (early extension, over the top, arm breaking down, weight on your right side, etc). The biggest hurdle is training you brain what the follow through should look like. I can tell you that to get your right shoulder down, you MUST extend your spine (or to quote S&T book, tuck hips), which will PROTECT YOUR BACK. Here's a video from another S&T instructor (sorry TOM!, maybe you should steal this one 😉), but this is the best drill I have ever seen anywhere to create power, get KFC contact, and get the correct follow through at the same time!
