Stack and Tilt DVD Set
It amazes me still that the Stack and Tilt swing has taken such a strong hold on the golfing world. Really, though, it shouldn’t surprise me because the number of players I’ve heard from that have had great success with the swing is staggering.
Starting with an article in Golf Digest, the swing swept through driving ranges and back yards like wildfire. With such a limited resource for information, players were forced to resort to internet discussion to try and learn as much as possible about this strange new swing that was giving them great results.
Then, prayers were answered when Stack and Tilt architects Mike Bennett and Andy Plummer created a 4-disc instructional video series. Distributed by Medicus Golf, the DVD set covers everything you need to know about the Stack and Tilt swing, and much more.
Disc Contents
- Disc one – Swing overview
- Disc two – Stack and Tilt in-depth
- Disc three – Analyzing your shot
- Disc four – Short Game
For some more information about the contents of the DVD set, a Life in the Rough reader has presented a nice summary in the comment section of the Stack and Tilt DVD announcement post.
The Good
- The videos are a quite comprehensive view of the Stack and Tilt golf swing. In addition, there is a significant amout of coverage of the theory behind the swing.
- Interesting analysis about what the “real” fundamentals of golf are. I covered this recently.
- There was a good introduction of the “flying wedge”, a swing concept I was not familiar with prior to this instructional DVD set. More on that in a later post.
- The instruction was augmented with helpful graphics and photographic analysis to aid in understanding of the concepts.
The Bad
- Medicus is running a risk-free trial for $19.95, but the full price of $99.75 (should you decide to keep them) is pretty high.
- Plummer and Bennett are definitely excellent sources for knowledge, but aren’t really as charismatic as some other famous golf teachers you might know. This is kind of a small nitpick, but at times the delivery feels somewhat dull and repetitive.
Conclusion
In my opinion, if you’re attempting the Stack and Tilt swing, these DVDs are a necessity. The material in there is quite extensive and will give you an excellent understanding of the Stack and Tilt golf swing, as well as related information like the “flying wedge” and the “true” fundamentals of the golf swing.
The full price of the DVD set is pretty high, as I mentioned above, but putting it in perspective, how much would golf lessons cost? Or a new driver? Or a couple dozen high-end golf balls? Thinking about it that way, the price doesn’t seem so bad. I can say for sure that if I ever pursue the swing, I will consider the DVD set to be absolutely required.

The Stack and Tilt method is cheap compared to lessons directly from a pro, a good set of golf balls, or a full new set of iron grips. A must for anyone serious about the game of golf.
Is lights/camera/Compton stack and tilting now a days. I just recently walked inside the ropes with JJ Henry and he thought the knowledge behind the method was real good. I have never heard anyone explain a new swing method that didn’t make some sense. A million ways to get it done but they all have three thing they all do the same no matter what.
The Dvd’s are very solid stuff, not thrilling qua presentation but well explained. The 30 minute shortgame Dvd is rather unnecessary and could have been left out altogether. For the rest I wish B+P every success with S+T, it’s good stuff and will help a lot of players I’m quite sure. I for one am completely hooked.
