Pelvic tilt at address: slight anterior tilt (pelvis tips forward, natural lumbar curve) is optimal. Posterior tilt reduces rotation range. Excessive anterior tilt creates injury risk. During the swing, trail-side pelvic tilt deepens in the backswing as the trail hip drops and loads. Through impact: the pelvis levels then tilts trail-side (trail shoulder drops, creating secondary axis tilt). Maintaining appropriate anterior pelvic tilt preserves the spine natural curves that allow rotation without injury. GOATY spine angle tracking monitors pelvic tilt changes that correlate to early extension.
