Stack and Tilt - Knock and Down?

[HomerJSimpson]

I only have one real swing thought when I'm on the course... turn.

Turn?

Don't you mean tilt?

The tilting part comes automatically when you turn properly.

Can you reiterate what you mean by turn. When we spoke I thought it was about getting the right hip as far behind as you can but does the club then also come inside more as a result?

I've never really thought much about S&T but that's mainly because I'm fighting a tendency to tinker with my swing and I the less I have to think about the less likely I am to tinker.

I only have one real swing thought when I'm on the course... turn. Prior to that i had about 1,000 things that I was either think of or working on... and used to forget them literally day to day as new stuff kept popping into my head. Learn the pattern, stick to it, job done. What's the WORST that can happen?? seriously.

That's just it, I'm a recovered tinkerer. I'm setting my stall out this season to just play and just at the moment I'm playing well. For the 1st time in as long as I can remember I'm not thinking about my swing so I don't need anything to set me off tinkering again. Maybe one day but not now

Homer... cross your arms across your chest and hold a club across your nipples... bend forward at the waist and turn in that 'warm up drill' way that you see so many pensioners doing... so that the club points at the ball... that is the turn. The shoulders will be tilted perfectly.

As you turn the right hip will AUTOMATICALLY go behind you and the right leg will straighten a little as you can't do it any other way.

So, some are thinking of dabbling with S&T, some not. We're already aware that PGA Pros don't, won't or can't teach it.

But knowing what you know about it, (so what if a Pro here or there moves away from it, they hit 1000's of balls and practice every day), and how it might be simpler for us weekend golfers, who play once a week, and practice even less.

Would you take a 'lesson' from someone that is not a qualified PGA Pro, but does understand how to hit a ball, and can get you playing better, and quicker. Would you also pay for that 'lesson'?

Dicuss.

I get it (I think) The left shoulder seems quite low but I get the feeling of the hip moving back

I'm not going to knock it until I've tried it or at least watched someone hit some balls using it.
