Stay centred and keep weight left...

[Andr3w]

Had a lesson a couple of days ago and when the instructor said this I started thinking of stack and tilt and understood that this was now discredited and wishing I hadn't wasted £50, however...

I'm dumbfounded by how quickly my ball contact has improved - literally on the first hit. I'm now compressing the ball like never before and getting a great balanced finish.

I no longer make a big turn off the ball and it all just seems so much easier. My next thought though is whether to go for a "full fat" stack & tilt swing or just to borrow some of the concepts? Any thoughts? Does anyone stack and tilt with success?

Do you know what you've just done!!!

I'm sure James will be along very shortly to pimp his S&M, sorry S&T services to you and extol the virtues

Haha, I'm surprised he's not here already.

That said, when I started playing again last year I moved towards this sort of approach to stop me swaying back onto my right foot and found I was striking the ball much better.

As you can see, I'm not 100% left side but find my swing is pretty repeatable when thinking about not going back onto my right foot - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWA7wBnZE3E

How much weaker is your ball flight now though? S&T is a waste of time!

You may find that you were subconsciously moving off the ball on the takeaway and all you are now doing is staying in the right position.


Or you may be going down the path of darkness to the other side....................

I think this will be spot on:thup:

My understanding is that James does not actually S&T he just robs the bits he likes...

I think this is true, what feels to me like half my body is away down the fairway is actually probably just centred and correct.

I'd just always heard to transfer weight to the inside of the right foot, but by not doing this the game suddenly seems a lot easier

In your opinion!...

What works for some will not work for all but doesn't mean its a waste of time

Discredited? Wherever did you get that idea from?

Not for everyone, but certainly seems to be good for improving ball striking!

Homer, Have you actually tried it - from an accredited S&T Pro?

It could well solve about half the issues I've seen in your swing(s) - though that would still leave plenty to keep your Pro in decent Claret for years!

If you're hitting the ball great now why would you want to change anything else?

Spent two hours in the company of James and he went through it with me so I comment with a degree of understanding.
