When reading about the stack and tilt swing, I see that the teachers suggest that the golfer stands up on the downswing. In my opinion this would cause the golfer to lose his spine angle. But when I see swings of Stack and Tilters like Aaron Baddeley, it looks like they keep their spine angle intact to impact.

After experimenting with ST, I found that by keeping weight stacked forward (and not moving weight back to my R foot on the backswing) I was really losing my spine angle. See the attached images. I lose my so called "butt line" (left side of the square) and my head drops. However I am nailing the ball.

Any suggestions of how to keep the spine angle stable with stack and tilt? Or is the "standing up" just to offset the flaw that the ST swing causes you to lose spine angle?

I have some pictures of Aaron Baddeley. Though the camera angle is slightly off, it appears he does move slightly into the ball here (butt moves off left side of square at impact) but at the same time keeps his spine angle.

I guess what I am asking, is he compensating for moving into the ball with legwork? Is this a general feature of the stack and tilt?

If your moving in to your left side on the backswing your always going to look like your losing a bit of height from a down the line view.

    • like I don't like to think I'm an amazing player as I play off around 7-8 handicap or anything but The one miss I have at the minute is with my strike and its getting really frustrating because I don't see what's causing it please don't say basic stuff like I don't weight shift etc because it wont help here are some videos form certain angles (these aren't that fat in the video maybe slightly chunked but its more the fact that the chunk happens 1 in every 4 iron shots so I'm never consistent) https://imgur.com/epaeE4D https://imgur.com/CKeV0Nm https://imgur.com/lJkliwd https://imgur.com/a/1Z7VwK9
    • You’ve yet to propose anything else. And yet it was, and the rules tell you how to deal with it. Your question has been answered. The Committee can declare them GUR. I disagree with your assessment of common sense. 😀 And yet they didn’t really change this one. Looks like this is about wrapped up? “That Rule is So Unfair!” A Rules Geek’s Generalized Guide to Hot Takes and Overreactions | Rules Geeks I apologize for the length of this post.

    • When you are penalized for hitting into the sand trap the penalty is having to hit it out of the sand, not out of three inches of water. A sand trap is not the same as a water hazard. A sand trap is not supposed to be under water. It is a unique condition caused  by weather and poor drainage. Most local leagues like ours allow the free drop in this type of situation, as long as there is no area in the bunker to legally drop. This is what I’m talking about, sometimes the official rules of golf don’t align with common sense. That’s why they are finally starting to change them. For example, when wind blows your ball off the green. That was a stupid rule. People being able to call the tv network to say they saw a players ball move. That was a stupid rule. I’m just saying, these are rules made up a long time ago, and it’s time to modernize them.
    • Consider it another way: normally, it's a two-stroke penalty to move your ball out of a bunker (unplayable). The ACC reduces it to just one.
    • No, hitting into a hazard that is supposed to be avoided and is designed to be penalizing is not the same as hitting it into the middle of the fairway.   You are penalized because you hit it into a hazard. Based on your logic let's say you hit it into a red staked penalty area and you could normally play it but it's in temporary casual water from rain. Would you expect a free drop from there too??
