Address in Golf | Hinge From the Hip for Proper Spine Angle

One very common question we receive on the Rotary Swing website is, "How much spine angle should I have at address in golf?"

In other words, how much should the spine be tilted over toward the ground when addressing the golf ball?

The truth is, there is no single, universal spine angle. There cannot be, because every golfer's body is built differently.
