I’m ask about Stack And Tilt Golf Swing.
golf tips magazine had a video on their website and available as a podcast that showed the basics of stack and tilt. They basically said it was for low handicapped players. As I am just a handicapped player (handicapped in that I have no swing to speak of), I didn’t watch the video.

From a brief visual examination of the infomercial on the golf channel I can give you a few ideas of what it is about. I think its a designed around a set up that is very front footed or in other words a right handed golfer would have 65% of his weight on his left side and foot.
This set up along with proper ball position makes a golfer swing steep and eliminates turn. You stay very stable short wide backswing and downward solid contact. In fact this really isn’t a swing at all this has been historically taught as the proper way to hit a wedge or short iron for a long time I suggest to you stay away unless you hitting a wedge.
The set up you need to hit high drives and a longer irons differs slightly from a 9 iron. this set up promotes a slightly reverse c which is ok with a wedge but harmful with a 5 iron or a 3 wood. Proper weight distribution is essential for the mastery of all golf shots tinker with and you will see what i mean.

Go to http://www.golfdigest.com on the bottom left side of there home page they keep a site on stack and tilt. I played that way for 1 year and went back to the weight transfer. All it really amounts to is (if you are right handed) on the back swing instead of weight moving to the right and transferring back to the left on the dn swing, you simply go to the left at the beginning of the back swing and keep your weight there through the dn swing. I found it to be very accurate with the short irons in particular but I can hit farther with the weight transfer. For a golfer who usually fades or slices the ball the stack and tilt will help eliminate that problem. Good luck.

Mike Weir and Aaron Baddely are 2 of the bigger names that use it. However, they have very good timing which is really the only way for this swing to work (at least in my opinion). If you want a fundamentally sound swing, and not a reverse pivot, which is essentially what the Stack and Tilt is, then stick with the basic swing. Turn onto your right side in the back swing, get a nice tight coil, and then fire into your left side on the downswing.

The main reason I like the stack and tilt (from what I tried) is that it cures a problem that I have. I often make too violent a move back to the ball when I play from my right side. Keeping things started on the left allows me to be more fluid, making uncoiling earlier and faster, thus more club head speed………….cheers

Experience.
You can buy the DVD’s on rockbottomgolf.com but it requires superior timing and coordination. it produces low ball flight and a draw. If you master it, you will have really consistant contact. basically you start with your weight left and keep it left with a flat back swing.

There have been quite a few teaching pros who have come out against the stack and wilt. Most sound like they don’t like it- it causes undue stress on the back, relies too much on timing, and the simple fact that there isn’t any compromise (at least, not in the GD articles)- it’s a "my way or the highway" type of swing- with the founders main defense to be attacking what the nay-sayers don’t like about it.
Watch the info-mercial. Who the h*ll are these guys, other than Weir and Baddely? How many times has Weir won since he switched? Once. What about Badds? Didn’t he wilt from Tiger with an 80- even though he started with the lead on the Sunday of the last Major, the ‘07 Masters, that he was truly in contention for? I’ve never even heard his name called in the winner’s circle. Maybe I missed one or two, but if he did win, it wouldn’t have been in anything important.
Avoid it- with the pressure on the back, the short-term gain isn’t worth the long-time pain.

Hi Rina..
This method of golf swing (Stack And Tilt Golf Swing) requires you to turn your shoulders in a circle, so you always hit the ground under the ball in the exact same spot each and every time. As well as moving the shoulders the spine is moving too, the spine is tilting as you move to hit the golf ball.
This is revolutionary stuff, because we as golfers have always been told to keep the shoulders straight and not to move them. The reason why this golf swing method is called the Stand and Tilt is because your stacked up at a hips and to stay stacked your tilting your spine.
