After three bad rounds in a row, with poor contact, I started watching theses stack and tilt videos. I went to my club yesterday and decided to commit to this. Hit some balls on the range, and then went out and played. I haven’t hit the ball that well in years. I am a believer. There is an adjustment, but not as big as I thought it would be.

I would bring it back with me but the times i hit the ball solid i notice now that i was maintaining the forward stack. Nice thank you.

Working on it right now with surprisingly good results. The feeling I have is from my left thigh muscle straightening and the club head following whilst the handle is much further toward target than I have ever been able to get it in my life. Club head and hands are now in line at impact and with some more practice I’m sure I can get a few degrees of delisting over the next few days 😊

Hi Nick. In the S&T book under the Power Package (pge 90) there are 3 ways to maximse the club speed; you cover 2 but the third is the "braking of your shoulders and hands before impact" in order to crack the whip. How is this done as i have not seen any material on this point. Could make a good vid.

Wow, another excellent video Nick. Thanks We've discussed weight forward, whole body or just slight hip bump. Switched to a slight hip bump and focused on keeping the eyes over the center of the ball. Striking much more solid on a more regular basis. However, I never leave a divot after the ball even on a 150-170 yard shot. I'm working to figure it out because I know I could compress it more and gain distance. Thanks for sharing!

Nick, I’m a recent subscriber and have been following you for awhile. What are your thoughts on S&T for the senior golfer? I’m 76 and have played the game for 65 years, but my body just can’t do what it used to do. Is S&T a viable option for us old guys? I’m a little concerned about stress on the left knee, but I have hit some really good shots while playing around with this swing. What do you think, is S&T a good fit for seniors?

Do you shift the weight forward like the irons and afterwards your waist a little forward as well or only the waist forward. That is my question. I seem to hit the ball way to high in the air still average 225 245 but pops up way to high. Thank you again.

When you’re pushing your hips forward on the downswing, are you simultaneously “opening”the hips or is it push then open? For instance, when working on that drill with the noodle, should I think of touching the noodle with the side of my left hip, front of left hip/thigh, or right thigh?Thanks, Nick!

So I am little confused. I watch Rob Cheney as well. I thought at setup, you only moved you hips slightly toward the target which gave you shoulder tilt without moving low point behind ball. Your head and center of sternum would stay more centered over the ball. Did I misunderstand or is this a variation?

I have been working on stack and tilt for about a year and a half now. It appeals to me because it is very systematic and based on geometry and physics. However, I know I am still not executing correctly. I do not move my weight forward during the downswing correctly. At 6’ 2” and 250 pounds, I struggle to hit driver 225 and that’s just not right. I like your data based approach to stack and tilt.

The biggest problem I see with most golf instruction is they always tell you to get your weight to the left, which is correct, but it needs to be gradually. If move your weight left too quickly it will cause pulls for the better player and slices for the higher hcp. When you have no more weight to move left the club will start closing and moving left so if you having problem with pulls make the weight transfer gradually and smoothly. This will help with whatever golf swing you choose including the stack n tilt.

No great player has ever done this. Please watch Nicklaus , Tiger, Hogan, Snead, Trevino, Player, Watson and every good ball striker snd you will see a obvious shift of the weight back and through the swing. Try throwing a ball, hitting a baseball, serving a tennis ball, serving a volleyball, throwing boxing punch and any other athletic move. The weight transfer is the master fundamental . Ignore the the occasional improvement by players who say this helped. It's likely they had some fundamental flaw in their action that this outlier concept temporary helped. I actually thought this nonconforming teaching had gone the way of dinosaurs.
