Stack and tilt. How many use it or thinking of using it.?

[Swinglowandslow]

Or have used it and kept it, or rejected it?

I have been watching some YouTube videos promoting this etc. I think so might give it a serious go on the basis that I've always had difficulty taking the divot well after the ball. And I'm not young.
So if I get through this virus thingy, I'll try it.
What do you chaps think?

It has been discussed a few times on here in the past. A few are in favour of it but the general consensus seems to be that you don't really see it on tour very often and if guys who play for a living don't use it then there must be a better way to swing the club.

But you pays yer money and makes yer choice......

As Bob Torrance once said to Paul Lawrie when Paul told him he was working on 'stack and tilt'. You keep doing that youl be stacking shelves in the supermarket. Most people aren't flexible enough to use that method.

Justone was the king of S&T (think it was a T and not an M). He patiently explained the concept behind it and got me trying it. Have to say, when it works it was it is good but always had an issue with woods using it. The linear short game is very much from the same basis. Weight on front leg and pivot

Yesssssssss

This thread has popcorn material already.

I’m not aware of either stack & tilt or this linear method. Can anyone give me a brief overview of both? I can then research more

Safer to just Google it and watch YouTube. Seriously you're opening a HUGE can of worms.

Ok thanks. Maybe I’ll pm homer on the linear method, as it’s the short game that interests me the most

Justone is your man. He is/was very passionate about it.

If you want sensible advice from someone who uses it - he is the one.

I have no idea what it means.

Don't bother it needs time spent practicing

Stack and tilt if unsupervised produces a swing with too much weight on the front foot which promotes an increased (steep) angle of attack. Fine for deep divots on wedges, not so good on long clubs/driver.
Linear method is basically ball forward, hands back, stand square, aim straight and bounce the club under the ball.
More or less the opposite of what all the top players do except Gary Smith.

I wouldn't teach S&T or the linear method as in my opinion, they create more problems than they claim to fix

Ok thanks. Still no clue about stack & tilt, more research maybe, but isn’t the linear method the same as using the bounce, I thought this to be the current thinking ?

You took the bate mate, looks like they caught One ,

 

[JustOne]

they didn't catch one, they caught the BEST one

Now I'm wondering if we are actually ALLOWED to talk about golf on the GOLF FORUM, I mean you can literally hear some people sharpening their knives.

I like stack and tilt (as many are aware) but you are not allowed to talk about stuff here without feeling like you are going to get bullied off the playground.

I think if the OP wants to talk about stack and tilt it might be better to PM me. I might just stick to watching people argue about English/Scottish politics and people getting 'bothered' that there's too many coronavirus threads.... ooooooh.

Unfortunately not James. You missed the other 27 threads about it

I’d like to hear about it also. I know that Arron Baderley (if spelt correctly) used it on tour, but I’ve not heard of it since. I thought it had gone away. I’ve always thought it to be one of those fads, a bit like aimpoint, but if I can use it to get better when finally allowed to play again.

 

[garyinderry]

I'd love to learn how to do it.
