channel surfer -- I agree, your posture is unusual. But the important thing is, do you keep your swing straight to your target line (can't tell from the pictures)? The "old" teaching was to keep your shoulders level and square to the target, but look at Pete Weber. He does none of that, but his swing is straight to his target every time. I still think it's easier to have a good swing if your posture is "textbook", but do what you have to do to be accurate. -- JohnP
