I'm currently watching the DVD's and interested in learning the swing myself.  It makes total sense to me.  Now I need to perfect it.

Don't know about the OP, but here is my transition. In the second video I had been at it for like 4 months, and for the most part have done it on my own. I still haven't worked with anyone in person, but had guys like Erik, iteach, etc comment on it. Going to get a more recent swing up soon, but the weather has been so hit or miss. Still working on my release and hips, but yea.. I'd say its better.

FWIW, this thread is the much deeper one... and is the thread for any and all golfers working on the S&T pattern: http://thesandtrap.com/forum/thread/30537/the-stack-and-tilt-pattern

Hey Cbrian....have you turned your left foot out a little to facilitate the hip slide?

Yea, going duck foot was one of the first things I did. I can't even get comfortable the old way anymore. Concentrating more on the feel of pressure in the left foot has helped a bunch... or at least I think it has. Before I had other things on my mind and I was just thinking about it too late.

And thanks Michael.

I have been suffering from the dredded sway which has been stuffing my game for too long. So in desperate attempt I went to the range today thouht i would give the Stack & Tilt a go. I Hit perfect shots for 2hrs solid......so i Went to my club for a round......Sure enough all came unstuck....loooking back at the crap round of golf.... i fell in to the trap of overdoing the forward weight then getting over active with arms on the back swing and ending up with a reverse piviot then comming back over the top on the way through. Who's had this ? And what did you focus on to fix it ?

How does someone simply go to the range and give stack and tilt "a go"? Please explain because I would really like to know if it is that simple... The way it is discussed on this forum and YouTube videos, one would think you would need lessons to fully understand this swing...

Stack and Tilt is a swing made up of many individual pieces. None of the tour players have the same swing and each exaggerate different pieces to others. e.g. Troy Matteson presets more weight forward than most at address. Start off by working on pieces which will eliminate your bad shots. For example if you're hitting fat/thin shots, try setting a bit more weight forward at address and work on flying wedge and pushing hips forward.

You can't.

You can do some things that you think are S&T like "try to keep your weight more forward" but invariably you'll overdo it, underdo it, or simply do it improperly. S&T, like any generalized golf swing pattern out there , is not something you can just "decide to do" one afternoon like, say, "I'm going to give cross-handed putting a try."

It's still a full on golf swing with hundreds of parts moving in sequences you can't possibly "do" the first time you try it, even with an instructor.

P.S. Thanks mj92. Saved me from typing that stuff out.
