I made some S&T videos

I thought I'd try and clear up a couple of stack and tilt myths...

Top of the backswing no tilt left

no weightshift on backswing

There are a bit dark but are they pretty clear/self explanatory? or hard to understand?

Thanks for your thoughts...

Are they filmed in Sepia Tone??

Listen - your body may be a finely tuned machine but don't assume we all are!!

I was gonna start a thread similar to this tonight.

I played a few holes today and after reading some articles about weight shift decided to try and keep my weight on my left side throughout the swing. I was having problems shifting my weight at times.
Anyway I found the strike much better. I wasn't fully straightening my right leg so not entirely stack and tilt but incorporating some elements.

On the course probably wasn't the best place to first try it out but I think I'll be sticking with it and seeing how it works out

Good videos, to me they are presented well and the information is clear and understandable.

I switched off in protest the moment you said you were from Golf Happy and not the Golf Monthly Forum.........splitter!!

Hi James, this was quite informative and for the hell of it I will try to hit a ball with a S&T swing in the weeks to come, curiousity is getting the better of me.

Can I ask, when did you take up S&T and were you already a single figure handicapper before you did?

Cheers.

When he took up S&T he was playing off scratch

....and carrying 350yds.

Seriously, I wondered at what handicap does it make sense to rip and replace your golf swing? When I first heard of this I thought it was designed to help high handicappers get started..obviously not.

Any time that you think you have more potential.


I hardly play, don't practice and carry a recurring injury so to judge an entire swing methodology on the way I personally hit a ball wouldn't really do it justice.

I do know that I was about ready to give up the game and S&T has made me want to keep playing, it just makes so much sense I wish I had all those lost years back.

If my own brother/best friend or son/daughter came to me asking me to teach them to play golf would I teach them stack and tilt? - definitely.

Liar, liar pants are on fire!!!
Come now James, I agree you don't "practice" and I'll agree that you've moaned about your wrist a few times.
But hardly play?????
That may be the case at the moment, the weather is crap. Hardly anyone is playing.
But during the Summer I lost count of the number of times I gave you some gentle ribbing about your wrist, saying that if you eased off playing so much you would give it a chance to recover.
You were up the course playing at almost every available opportunity (wife's shifts allowing).
Tut tut!

I play about as much as most 6-10 h/cappers would, approx once a week, sometimes twice. To play to my 'potential' and/or improve I'd have to be playing at least twice a week, some range work and plenty of short game work, it ain't gonna happen.

Trying to hit some long(ish) drives whilst 'out with the lads' on courses I don't know isn't really going to help much... but I enjoy those games and it's what has kept me playing more than anything else. It's Jan 18th and I've played 3 rounds + 6 holes, next time I tee it up the ball could go ANYWHERE!
