The Right Forearm needs to be On Plane at Impact. Every good Ball-Striker does this instinctively. Each Plane Angle (Shorter Clubs have Steeper Plane Angles) has a Stance Width to keep the Right Shoulder the needed distance from the Ball so that the Right Forearm can be On Plane at Impact by arriving through its Angle of Approach. If the Stance Width is too narrow, then you must either "Tilt" to the Right (Accommodating the Right Forearm Angle of Approach) or add a Swivel through Impact because the Right Forearm is coming in to high.
If you're "Tilting" to the Right, then "Widen" your Stance. By Widening your Stance, you'll no longer need to tilt and you'll stop Tilting.
Some players shift their Hips forward and they learn to Tilt to Improve their Approach Angle. Others simply learn that Tilting to the right lets them approach the ball from a shallower angle and using a narrower Stance makes all things easier.
Either way, these compensations correct a faulty Right Shoulder distance from the Ball which causes a Faulty Approach Angle which is caused by incorrect Stance Width.
Want to prove this? Take a narrow Stance and Play the Ball far forward the left foot way beyond the left shoulder. Hit a few balls but move the ball forward until you no longer tilt backwards while striking the ball. Then move the ball and your right foot back 5" at a time and strike the ball. When the ball and right foot has been moved back a few times and the ball becomes opposite your left shoulder, look how wide your stance has become.
Hint: This is what "Impact Fix" does for any club length on any plane angle.

Great post there...
