As much as it loathes me to post this Sean Foley (yes him who took the principles of stack and tilt and calls them his own) has released his own DVD at seanfoleydvd.com

I dare say it'll be a best seller now that he's working with so many tour professionals, Tiger, O'hair, Rose, Mahan etc

Does it interest you to have the same swing, thoughts, and philosophy that the tour pros use or would you rather stick with what your local pro has to say?



Nb: If someone IS going to buy it can you lend it to me afterwards for a sneaky peek? :D
 
Just to clarify (again) Just One, you are definitely not a salesman for S&T? :D ;)

:D :D :D

I just believe in the geometry of the golf swing, what happens and why, those principles are applicable in the S&T method... which Foley stole...


Q/ "Some people say your teaching method is a copy of stack and tilt, which was developed by Andy Plummer and Mike Bennett"

A/ "I have a lot of admiration and respect for Andy Plummer; I don't know Mike as well. Look, I'm here to help my players. I have everyone's DVD and why wouldn't I? You don't think Bill Gates never looks at what Steve Jobs is doing? You're a writer, so you know what, you can't read anyone else. It's not thievery, it's an application of Newton's Law. The funny thing is, the media did this whole thing about turf wars and Andy's a friend of mine. It's all created. It's all B.S. Andy knows the credit I've given him. If I went to a clinic and if I had to give credit to everyone, no one would hear anything. I've taken these ideas and put them into my own style. It's all very kindergarten. It's very high school cafeteria."

And it's called 'copying someone's homework'!!! :D
 
now this S&T, does it mean that I don't need to worry about turning through? - cos I'm useless at that

(. . . . and a few other things but one at a time, OK?)

Is there much of a difference?

Who helps players get to the standard needed to get on Tour?

I'll have a search for his dvd but prefer to read what people have to say than watch a dvd. And better to speak with them in person and observe them when coaching.

I try to form a straight line down my left arm and the clubshaft... as per this pic from Sean Foley's website (and as per Plummer/Bennett's advisement and as I see on most if not all of the tour pros)

I went to talk to my local pro about my GRIP and he said..

"you've got your hands too far forward"

so I told him I was forming a straight line to which he said..

"you don't want to do that, you need your hands in the middle",

I said..

"more like my putting posture that forms a Y shape?" to which he said

"Yes"..........

I made my excuses and left

Natural ability? Fantastic short game? Decent course with good greens? Silver spoon parents who can send you on a scholarship to America? Enough money to buy everything you ever need? Reading/watching the right stuff and learning to seperate truth from complete bull sh*t? Then having the resources to afford to hit 1,000 balls at the range every week?

Dunno,... you tell me :D

Was he refering to your address position and you thought he meant how the club was at impact?

Ideal impact has the club shaft pointing just outside the lead shoulder as seen from face-on. Where the hands are at address that facilitates this impact is ideal.
 
He was referring to my address position, he said I should set up with the club straight down the center forming a Y position.

I have never heard a teacher teach that and I'm sure that young Hopper fellow will back me up when I say the PGA dont teach that either
 
And was he wrong?

Colin Montgomerie has the club pointing straight up at address and forms a Y with the club and his arms. Look at a lot of Pro golfers address with a driver.

I can only see it being an issue if your grip was maybe too weak and you struggled to return the club to the ball powerfully and controlled. If your shots were good then it might not be a great idea to change.

There are great ball strikers who had had their hands behind the ball at address and also great ball strikers who have had their hands a long way in front of the ball at address.

What were you hoping to achieve by moving the hands further forward at address?
