Also, as you have correctly noted, the slight Axis (spine) tilt is the result of the Hip Slide forward -- the base of the spine moves toward the Target while the Head (and the top of the spine) remains Centered and fixed -- and not the Head (and with it, the top of the spine) being dropped backward! This is an important point that is missed by so many, and while the 'Head back' location can (and must) be compensated, that positioning affects the Left Shoulder Location and thus disrupts the basic geometry of the entire Stroke.

Hi Yoda and everyone !
I'm not sure if you mean by the "head and the top of the spine" (the green text), the neck and the head (the cervical curve),
or this section of the spine: somewhere in the thoracic curve, and from that point, to the head, this longer section of the spine remains fixed, motionless, having as an indicator: a fixed chest or shoulders, while the hips slide forward parallel to the plane line. At startdown.
