We love it when a tour player comes up to us and says, "Hey, you're working with so-and-so. I saw him on the range doing this," and he mimics a backswing with the spine tilting way left. We love it because that's exactly what a good backswing should feel like.
The swing we teach looks different because the body never moves off the ball-we call it the Stack & Tilt Swing. Keeping your weight on your front foot is the simplest way to control where the club---PING G20 Irons hits the ground, which is the first fundamental of hitting the ball. Golfers who shift to the right on the backswing have to make precisely the same shift back to the left by impact. That complicated maneuver is the biggest source of frustration in the game today. So the followings are the steps to teach you how to Stack & Tilt Swing with your PING G20 Irons as an example:
One midway between the shoulders and one midway between the hips. These are the swing centers, and they should be stacked, setting the spine vertical. The grip is neutral, the weight 60-40 on the front foot.

The spine tilts toward the ball at address, and when the player swings back, that tilt moves to the right. So to keep the spine over the ball, which is the goal, the player has to tilt to the left during the backswing. The first move going back is this tilting action. It causes the shoulders and hips to turn on a steep downward angle, the right leg straightening and the left knee flexing forward.
As the left shoulder turns down, pointing almost to the ball, the hands move on a circular arc around the body, not up and away, and the arms stay on the rib cage. When the left arm reaches parallel to the ground, it should be angled 40 degrees inside the stance line. To golfers who've been told to swing
The spine should be vertical at the top, which makes the player feel tipped over the front leg. This tilting toward the target happens continuously during the backswing. At the top, the weight on the front foot has increased slightly.
The upper body is now full of torque but remains straight up and down—picture the twisted double helix of DNA from high school biology.

The entire body starts the downswing together. More weight immediately moves to the left foot, with a distinct leaning into the left knee. Remember, the priority is to get the swing centers in front of the ball at impact. The hips start to turn back to level, and the legs reverse roles, the left leg straightening and the right leg flexing.( Cheap PING G20 Irons)
The turning body is supplying the initial acceleration, so the player must maximize rotational speed. The hips have limited turning capacity when they're tilted, so they have to come out of their tilt to keep accelerating. The move that releases the hips is a springing up of the lower body, where the butt muscles push the hips upward and toward the target. The player has to feel as if he's jumping up as the PING G20 Irons comes down.
The upward thrust of the lower body that releases the hips—notice here the leg and butt muscles pushing forward—also helps deliver the club to the ball. Because the body is leaning on the front side, the PING G20 Irons comes down steeply and will crash into the ground unless the swing shallows out. The pelvic thrust takes some of the steepness out of the swing.
The upper arms stay on the rib cage, and the hand path comes from well inside. The pelvic thrust allows the hips to keep turning, which keeps the clubface closing at a constant rate and the hands swinging on a circular arc. The PING G20 Irons releases without any conscious hand or arm action. At impact, the swing centers are in front of the ball, so the club catches the ball first then cuts a divot.
With the hips released toward the target, the torso flexes forward and the butt tucks under the back. Notice the spine tilts away from the target for the first time. The belt is level and several inches higher than it was at address.
As the torso stretches, the arms can extend and the hands don't drop over the left shoulder. The hips and shoulders have continued to turn toward the target. As the PING G20 Irons re-cocks, forming a 90-degree angle with the forearms, the speed of the through-swing is absorbed. The hands are still swinging on a circular arc, because the body has kept up its speed. The so-called release is the body releasing from its forward tilt, not some manipulation by the hands and arms.
