stack and tilt

Just a survey question really. How many of you out there use the stack and tilt method? And if so how has your success been with both irons and driver. The reason I ask is I've tried this method with great success with the irons, but very limited success with the driver. I hope to get some responses.

I tilt more with the longer clubs and it seems effective as long as I don't tilt too much...

I use a modified version of S&T. I don't tilt as much as the method calls for; I more or less keep my weight on the front side, cover the ball, and don't "shift" my weight to the right side.

The only thing I do differently with the longer clubs, 2hybrid - Driver, is address the ball with the toe of the club and not the center of the face. This took some time to get used to it has worked great for me.

Yeah I do and it helps to keep me behind the ball.

I was wondering what the Stack & Tilt method involves. Could anbody advise me.

Many thanks

I think this is stack and tilt.

This article explains the system.:

I like the idea of "Stack" but not the "Tilt". I think it would easily create a reverse pivot, topping or hitting fat with many people. I see Aaron Baddeley uses it but I am not sure if it has improved his rankings?

I like the 'idea' too Brian, I play with a guy who says he is trying S&T but in reality all he is doing is swaying a lot less than he used to by setting up balanced (50/50) and turning more centered .. his weight is on his right instep and he doesnt have a big upper body lean anymore. If the thought he is staying on his left side more is helping him stay more over the ball then I think its a good thought

Well that's you and Tony Johnstone, Brian - oh and me

I was watching some day time golf on Sky a while ago (well it just beats "Worst Ever Bargain House Hunt Chefs" ) and TJ really went off on one about "Stack & Tilt" - citing the same flaws as you do and then on to "gimmicky swing fads" in general; it was hilarious - especially if you agree with him.

I've been giving it a try this year. Started at the end of last year. My irons, especially short irons have been a lot more accurate. The "can crushing" extension of the left leg has greatly improved the steepness of my swing. I used to be very steep and this has shallowed it out quite a bit. I'm still having some issues with my long irons. I can't seem to even get the right feel with my driver with it, so I'm still pretty much using my old swing with the driver.

All in all, my 6-SW hits are much crisper and a lot more accurate. I've been shooting consistently about 3-5 strokes less than the end of last year for 9 holes.

The offical one should be out in a few weeks according to other forums.

Interested to see what P&B have to say as currently giving it a go.

Stack and Tilt from the Horse's Mouth


As told by Lynn Blake:

I think the greatest benefit of Stack and Tilt (Andy Plummer and Mike Bennett) is its emphasis on the centered and stationary head. When you keep your head steady -- no Swaying (Fourth Snare / 3-F-7-D) -- good things happen.

As Andy explained to me on the practice tee of last year's AT&T Classic, the much misunderstood 'tilt' portion of S&T is necessary to restore the centered head of the player who has swayed to the right (and 'tilted' his spine away from the target). In other words, after the Sway, you must 'tilt back' (toward the target) to re-center the head that never should have moved in the first place! This is the demon they fight in so many of the players who come to them.

"But Andy," said I, "What if the player keeps his head centered and stationary . . . like this . . ." (and I demonstrated my backstroke).

"That's perfect," said he. "You don't need to tilt."

So . . . if you sway to the right, S&T dictates that you 'tilt back' to the left to restore the centered head (and the 'stack' of the lower and upper body). But, if you correctly 'stack', i.e., never 'unstack', then you don't need to 'tilt'.

Guess the editors at Golf Digest didn't think we needed a system just called 'Stack'.
