Lumbar Spine motion in the downswing ¶

I was watching a two year old video of TW practicing. He was rehearsing keeping his hips deeper through transition to keep from standing up early in the downswing. I noticed his lumbar spine extended significantly, while maintaining forward bend, creating that look of the Sam Snead squat. In your opinion, would attempting to extend the lower spine in this manner be "safe" for a player trying to eliminate "humping the goat" and still trying to maintain speed?
