Well I think the variety of great tournament players shows there a lot of ways to skin that cat. Usually though... (generalizations can be dangerous but I'll do it anywho) they end up on their toes left shoulder way high and back (axis tilt). Take a look at any "natural golfer...i.e. one whose figured it out with out having been "model fit"... someone like Jamie Saldawlski, Bubba Watson or even little Alexis Thomson
They do what they can to pull UP and BACK.. Jamie even is weightless momentarily as he rotates in the air! Incredible. All geared towards getting hands onto the optimal path required to generate maximum club head speed.
NMG,
What's the optimum path of the hands? Also how much power is there in the shoulders rotating vs. the axis tilt you describe abover?
