i have a round sunday so well see how the stats come along.

i played a round today and found my older swing.as far as s&t; goes i found it to be a good way to swing.if you are having troubles with a conventional swing s&t; may be the swing for you.

Wow, two weeks ago you were thinking about it. Now you've abandoned it. Didn't people tell you to work on it with an instructor and to give it time, and that you couldn't learn it in a week or even a month?

Flake.

To second what Butch just said... I'll quote myself.

I mean, I was about the same handicap index as the one you had listed and I didn't play golf for three weeks when I first took lessons, and when I did I hit some, well, some really

It's one thing to change your mind after putting in some effort or deciding that you were wrong. But you went into this, seemingly, completely uninformed or unprepared. I can't think of any other explanation why you'd quit so quickly after convincing yourself.

ANY swing change ANYONE works on should be done with the utmost of care. Good luck, ping.

ping guy should put them in the Marketplace... Seriously. He's not gonna use 'em - may as well make a few bucks and help someone else with their game.

its a relatively new swing that keeps weight over the ball,not shifting your weight behind it.

I have basically transitioned to this not knowing it was 'stack and tilt' related. I have always got stuck on my right side so I have done a few drills(with club pro's guidance) to overcome that problem. As a result, I put no emphasis on shifting weight to my right side. Maybe I am getting it to my right side but I feel more centered over the ball, if that makes sense. So my guess is people have done this for years, but didn't realize it was 'stack and tilt'. But who knows.......I know nothing about nothing.

I think that for years ppl have been putting together some pieces of what we now call SnT. But NOBODY has put ALL of them together in the manner that Andy & Mike have. If you look at the SnT book you will see that they have a bunch of different pictures of pro's at various stages, ie: all the pieces that make up SnT. If you talk with anyone who REALLY knows, they will tell you about Hogan or Sergio or whoever at a particular position. This is because all of these ppl exhibit "pieces" of the pattern, but not the entire thing. You can use any part of the pattern to help with your "traditional" swing, the down fall is that if something goes wrong you cant ask someone (SnT'er or other wise) what your doing wrong as your swing is just a hybrid, so opinions will vary and ppl will want to change anything and everything. This is what i really like about SnT, if i dont get what i am looking for, i just ask or post a vid and bam, there's my answer. Good luck with whatever you decide and have a good time out there !
