In Yang style Tai Chi your weight distribution is either 100% on one leg …. or a 70/30 weight distribution. A 50/50 weight distribution is only a transitional point ( connecting moves ). Sort of like going through neutral when shifting gears manually. Your just passing through.
When in a forward stance your weight is 70% front and 30% back. You are in minimum tuck. This means your back is straight (as in the image below) … but not straight to the floor. The back of your head, hip and heel are basically in a straight line (but not to the floor). If you were to roll your hips under you allowing your back to become straight to the floor, you would also be 100% weight forward / maximum tuck. From a forward stance, if you were to unfold your body ( backwards ), at 50/50 your hips would begin to roll under you and you would wind up in a 100% tuck … back suspended stance.
