There was a lot of information in there beyond the S&T fundamentals. I agree, Gary. There was a lot of information in there beyond the S&T fundamentals.

There is much more that can be learned from the discs other then the S&T system. Mike and Andy do a great job at revisiting the true fundamentals of the golf swing. For any technicians of the swing, this is a must have even if you do not believe the S&T will work for you. I applaud both Mike and Andy for the efforts they put into the discs and thinking outside the traditional golfing box. I purchased S&T last year.

It's definitely normal to hear that people have nearly immediate success. Enjoy the lower scores! That’s great to hear, Mo. It’s definitely normal to hear that people have nearly immediate success.

WOW! i’m a tall 69 year old with an 18 handicap.

Go back to the WGC-Match Play Championship earlier this year and check out who really outplayed Tiger tee to green. In this mano' e mano' event, it was Aaron S&T Baddeley and had he been able to putt, Tiger would have been eliminated. Now check out the top 20 golfers in each event since then. What you see are more Stack & Tilters finishing higher & higher. Most of these guys are reconditioned S&T'ers still learning the swing... just wait till the new crop of young S&T'ers hit the scene...then you'll see new challengers to the golf throne. The swing of the future...is now here! Here’s the real deal on the S&T swing.

From Syracuse, NY...I tried the stack and tilt last night. I shot 33. Hit eery fairway and green. It could of been 28 ..I had two putts come up a ball short and didn't birdie 2 par 5's from next to the green in 2...The stack n tilt makes so much sense. the swing realy eliminates unneeded moving parts...Everyone should try it.

Unfortunately, sometimes it's hard to find instructors versed in a specific technique in a specific place. One place to start is the PGA of America locator. You can get to that <a href="http://www.pga.com/improve/find-an-instructor/">here</a>. You might be able to get a list of pros in your area and start asking around. Another alternative might be to stop into local courses and golf schools and ask around. Maybe information is spreading by word of mouth and another pro can point you in the right direction. You might have to resort to speaking with a pro who may not be experienced in the technique, but who is open to the possibility of getting versed with it and working with you. Not the best situation, but better than nothing. A good pro should be able to pick up the concepts quickly (especially if you point him/her to the Golf Digest articles). I wish I had more information to give you. If you do manage to find a pro, please let us know how you did it. I'm sure there are many others with the same question.

The Jim Hardy series in 100-90-80 was also really interesting. I'm somewhat familiar with his teachings, but that article laid out the two-plane versus the one-plane swings in a very informative way.
