Is this a good method for getting a good bend at setup ? 

No. Not really.

Read that thread. Compare and contrast…

It seems to me like the video agrees with that thread, at least as far as how your posture ends up. I think she's advocating starting out with the incorrect posture so you can move away from it into good posture. What am I missing? Just that the first part is unnecessary? Or is she not advocating enough posterior tilt?

She's advocating for a "straight back" among other smaller things (chin up?).

Yes, it doesn't make any sense. Just do it right when you address the ball. The more adjustments you add the more complicated it makes things.

Using the initial tilt is fine to determine a "neutral spine angle." I would not straighten the back to flat to swing but find the middle of the tilt and flat back and stay there.

Thanks.  I found it interesting because I've had to remind myself to "activate" my core stomach muscles at address in the past. I have a long torso which, combined with a core that is not as strong as it should be, has led to lower back issues.  Sometimes my back muscles take over when they shouldn't  (not just in golf). This sounded like a potential checkpoint but if it doesn't make sense I won't do it.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 33 (20 Feb 26) - played the Friday men’s group shootout.  Solid day of working from some tough shot results - made for a good number of up and downs for par (8 of the 9 pars were such). Cart mate and I discussed the visual aspect of the game - and how much it plays into the individual’s mindset during the round.  Love when the discussion is focused on learning and taking positives away and not just how bad the miss may be.

      My Swing (iacas)

      By iacas · Posted

      Still kinda working on the backswing stuff. I can turn < 45°, but I tend to tilt toward the target a little. I can tilt away from the target, but I tend to turn a bit more. Case in point. I can do it, though: This I can do all day (it's more lateral than I want, but it's very linear): Here's what 38° of turn looks like. Almost freaking nothing.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Good progress. I am finally feeling like I am settling my weight into my right foot earlier in the backswing. Right hip sinks back, right leg feels staying flexed. Feeling very stable and firm in the right leg. I feel like I could do a good squat with that right leg. Very balanced.

      Have You Played Where a PGA, Champions, or LPGA Event Has Been Played?

      By DaveP043 · Posted

      oops, forgot Pebble Beach and Spyglass.  And two more of the original Open rota, Prestwick and Musselburgh (with hickory shafted rentals).  And Muirfield.  And maybe a few more, I'll check my list when I get home.
