I haven’t been able to consistently apply the S&T swing to my pitch shots especially with uneven lies. Maintaining the flying wedge de-lofts my irons sacrificing some carry distance but increasing my roll. A launch monitor showed that my S&T swing launched the ball at 10.5 degrees with my 19 degree 5W so I need to figure out how to re-cock the club faster to control the angle of ascent. Moving the ball forward in my stance starts to produce a slice which Plummer and Bennett predict. I’m currently shopping for my 1st driver and will probably end up purchasing a higher-lofted one, maybe around 12 degrees.

Getting professional instruction from a S&T disciple seems difficult because the swing is radically different from the swing that I was taught in my initial lessons which, I assume, is fairly widely taught. But Plummer and Bennett often refer to the author of, ”The Golfing Machine” by Homer Kelley so I’m considering finding a Golfing Machine certified teacher to help me to refine my S&T swing or to show me a better way!

-Was a high 90s golfer and six months later am consistenly in the high 80s
-Major slice has gone away, now hit with a draw
-Was always a long hitter but now hit a good number of fairways
-Now I understand what I did wrong when I mis-hit balls

Downside is…with the S&T you lose the ability to read Golfing Magazines because the instruction in those assume a non-S&T swing. But for me that is also the upside!

Overall, my ballstriking has become consistent and solid, however, as with any swing change, one has to ingrain new movements and counter old mechanics. One the technical difficulties I had with S & T was staying to the left side on the down swing, but after reviewing the video, I better understood what my hips had to do in the downswing. After rewatching the video, I went to the range and hit nearly every ball solid and straight without sraying them all over the place which will lead to improved accuracy. The Stack and Tilt will definitely bring a level of consistency to my game that I have always struggled to maintain

Like John, I wish they could make a Stack and Tilt putting video…lol

Although Bennett and Plummber have a lot of critics concerning their swing, mostly because it goes against most conventional golf instruction, I would tell anyone to try it, work with it, and see for youself. With a little effort, I know you’ll strike the ball a little better than you are already striking it.

As for the critics of Stack and Tilt, go ahead and continue to apply those, often conflicting and contradictory, “band aid” fixes and “tips” to your swing from those monthly Golf magazine subscriptions with your favorite PGA tour pro on the cover serving up another tip or drill for you to crush it like him off the tee. When that doesn’t work find a teaching professional who’ll have you work on the “fundamentals” of the “conventional” golf swing only to have you to become more thoroughly frustrated as to why you can’t get rid of the banana ball flight to the right, the thin shots, and the fat “earth moving” shots. To eliminate all of that there are two words that can put you game on the right track if you don’t have the time a tour pro does to devote to practicing a golf swing: Stack and Tilt
