I got this
"Axis tilt is the tilting of the spine both at address and during the stroke itself by way of pivot motion. The tilting of the spine away from the target between 8 and 12 degrees is necessary during address positioning. This sets the left hip and left shoulder higher than the right hip and right shoulder. By accomplishing this, a player paves the way for the pivot to do its job of getting the player to the top of the swing. At the top of the swing the bottom of the spine moves slightly closer to the target (the left hip moves no further forward than the outside of the left ankle and the "feeling" is more of an "up" movement than forward movement) which creates the hip axis tilt to pave the way for the forward portion of the stroke. Keeping it simple, at address have the bottom of the spine closer to the target than the top of the spine. At the top of the swing have the "feeling" of the forward hip working up slightly while at the same time keeping the hips from opening or rotating for this split second."

This is the first time I have come across the term "Hip axis tilt". The idea of the lateral hip shift with an "up" movement of the lead hip makes a lot of sense to me.
