The Correct Posture

Many players make the mistake of bending at the waist rather than the hips, doing so will restrict a good body-turn going back.   If your hips are bent too far it forces your shoulders to turn unnaturally which will lead to a steep swing and a slice.   A good way to check if your bent over too far is if the toe of the club is off the ground at address.

Knee flex should be enough to feel your body weight on the balls of your feet.
