Great job Tom S. This was IMHO one of your best video's. Hard to say that cuz there are so many good ones. This explains tilt and I think the key is the head actually and not tilt. Seems if you keep your head in that imaginary circle you really can't tilt to much? The head in the circle controls so many points in the swing, really just about all; backswing height, low point control, tilt,.... One thing I've tried recently is to focus on a "dimple" on the ball verses the BALL. Seems focusing on and trying to hit the dimple causes subconsciously to hold the head still so I can see the dimple, thus more consistent contact and low point control.

thanks.
I haven't posted in a couple of months because I went from shooting low 80s to 103. Took a month off with the Saturday guys. Played a couple of days with my wife trying to figure out my problem. It's now coming around. I watched the too much Tilt and said bingo! I did go back through the program but the last video did it.
video dont lie
That's why it's so important to conduct regular checkpoints - whether in a mirror or preferably with video - as things tend to drift on us, through complacency, swing tinkering, or overdoing a particular motion or feel.
This video permeated with me. I was on the "hip bump" forward at address actually starting to LEAN not bump hip forward. That was moving my head slightly forward in the circle causing low-point issues. Took a while but realized what I was doing without even knowing or trying to. That's why I focus on a "dimple" not the BALL. Just seems it keeps my head still looking at that little dimple.
This video just solidified how important a quiet/still head is.

@tom miller - Your post is spot on, and you summed up the key point in just one word. Can anyone guess what that one word is??..... 😎
I focus on a dimple also and it does help. Also, If I am hitting behind the ball I will start looking more towards the front of the ball for that magic dimple and vice-versa for topping the ball.
