Comments on: The Stack & Tilt? http://www.lifeintherough.com/2007/06/12/the-stack-tilt/ My Quest to Become a Golf Pro Tue, 18 Oct 2011 00:20:41 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: bob http://www.lifeintherough.com/2007/06/12/the-stack-tilt/comment-page-1/#comment-4837 bob Sat, 18 Apr 2009 01:19:44 +0000 http://www.lifeintherough.com/2007/06/12/the-stack-tilt/#comment-4837 I think the S&T is good. I bought the dvd set because I was hitting my fairway shots fat. I was demoralized when I began reading about the S&T. The S&T is almost developed for the purpose of pure contact, or avoiding the fat shot. I can't say that after two rounds that I haven't hit a fat shot, but I've hit a LOT more pure than fat and that is huge progress for me. The 'flying wedge' is a new concept to me. I've taken lessons from a number of pros and have over 20 books on the swing and have never run into it before, yet after only two weeks, I think it is a fundamental regardless of swing type.

My knowledge is unique since having the great opportunity in life to be able to work overseas teaching and observing golf. If you want a lesson on "hitting" the golf ball watch on of Vicente Ballesteros's golf trick shows; I had the opportunity to spend 4 weeks on the range in Lamanga Spain back in 1995 and till this day the images are very clear. I also was able to see how Seve ruined his swing by trying to change from - you call it stacked to a "body release" player; literally it was game over. Gotta run... Regards, Erol Double Eagle,

Unfortunately, history will probably credit them because they codified the swing, gave it a name, and promoted it. They deserve a lot of credit, but so do a lot of others. In fact, they give a lot of credit to Homer Kelley themselves for concepts like the flying wedge and others.

We may take a look back at Hogan and todays Jose Olazzabal, Seve and a few others. Me personally have been teaching golf since 1983 and must have tough over 100,000 lessons (Head Pro Muenchen Nord Eichenried - BMW International Open) and in these years find your idea very on the money. As so many great teaching methods and ideas the modern age feels they invented them but sorry to say the basics we have been teaching for decades remain. Enjoyed your ideas on the swing and look forward to reading more in the future. Best Regards, Erol Hello Fellow Professionals,

My power with the driver has improved. I do not use it in my short game. I have had much more consistency with the stack and tilt. My power with the driver has improved.

Now I hit the ball really straight (with a draw) and with a solid and crisp contact. I have hit more greens than ever before. In my golfing life I have tried many types of swing: S&T is by far the most simple and consistent of all that I know. For recreational golfers, the key for consistency is to avoid shifting the weight, and this is what S&T is all about. For the first time I feel confident before swinging and, I really feel that I am going to do a great hit: this is also a big help in the psychological side of the game. What else can I ask for?

I've had some back trouble over the last few years. When I tried the stack and tilt, it didn't feel bad, but just different. So I couldn't help wondering what that would mean in the long run. Certainly, back problems can stem from a lot of issues, but it's interesting to hear that some people who have had back problems are feeling like it's easier on the back.
