Stack and Tilt Golf Swing. There is a popular golf swing method and it is called the Stack and Tilt golf swing. It is a simple golf theory, but the results are fabulous. All the PGA tour players who have adapted to this swing are having remarkable results. Stack & Tilt: Part 2. Keys for using the tour's hot new swing: setup, backswing, impact. Andy Plummer and Mike Bennett. Peter Morrice. Chris Stanford.
In the wake of Aaron Baddeley's long-in-coming victory yesterday at the Northern Trust Open-after forsaking the Stack & Tilt instruction method he was so closely linked with for more than two years-much is being written about the method's effectiveness. Dave Shedloski questioned its viability for tour players in a piece for. And the method's other well-known practitioner, Mike Weir, has also gone back to a more conventional swing, as have several other tour players.But the method remains highly touted throughout the country, as a number of instructors still believe strongly in its basic principles. Tiger Woods, under the tutelage of Sean Foley, seems to be incorporating a number of the Stack & Tilt principles into his own swing, and last week he reached something of a breakthrough. So what does this all mean for Stack & Tilt? Has the method as taught by Andy Plummer and Mike Bennett, and which has become a best-selling book, dvd and even a golf school, become obsolete for most tour players?
Will it work for average golfers? How does it affect those with back issues? I feel it probably depends on the player's specific tendencies and faults and what kind of ball-flight that player is trying to achieve.
For example, if a golfer has a tendency to hit fat and thin shots with the club bottoming out before impact due to a poor weight transfer, the concept of staying centered over the ball and shifting the weight strongly to the front leg through impact probably will help. If a golfer has a tendency to come over the top, with the club approaching the ball on a severe out-to-in path, Stack & Tilt might help due to the more-inside backswing.I do know from my own experience working with a local teacher in Connecticut, who is a big advocate of staying centered over the ball at address, in the backswing and through impact, that it helped me to hit my irons more solidly. I was not able to make it work for my driver, however. But Golf Digest Senior Editor Pete Finch, after working privately with Plummer and Bennett two years ago,But does Stack & Tilt have saying power?
