Seriously? :-)

One that's small enough to fit there but not so small it falls out easily.

Good to know because now you'll be able to get some tips that are relevant to your swing . From a theoretical stand point though, the three main reasons someone experiences lower back pain a

It's not a common miss at all. Quite the opposite, if that's possible. Your weight may not be moving forward enough... though without seeing a swing, who knows... If your left shoulder is ahead of the

My biggest issue with S&T; is finishing the backswing is to feel as if I'm leaning left (decompress the back). It's a lot easier when I finish the backswing.

I finally stopped thinking after 2 months of incorporating S&T; into my swing, relaxed, and hit some of the best shots of my life with all clubs. Sometimes, you've got to take time off on the range from drills and thinking (thinking leads to crap shots), and just let your athleticism shine.

I've got one you can find in a sports store, mini soccer ball.  Tennis ball is too small and a basketball is too big

Those size 3 soccer balls they usually have in a bin near the checkout counter?

In the middle of this golf video magazine is a piece on Stack & Tilt. Pretty basic stuff if you know S&T;, but nonetheless, you might get something out of it.

Nice, that's where I get lessons. I met Mike and Andy there once during a clinic. I was there for a lesson with my instructor, but Andy Plummer watched me hit a couple balls during it. It was pretty nerve wracking.

Very nice place. Highly recommended to all that you head to Burlington CC. Great S&T; School there. Thanks for the post!

My teacher Steve in the video is great.

So are you saying your namesake had a technically perfect swing? There are many S&T; moves in the conventional swing so don't be so hasty

Ah, it's Seve, back from the dead.

It's no wonder your back hurts.

You're dead.

Back to the original topic.

When you want to swing harder, get a little more distance, does this sound right?

I put a little extra pressure on the armpits so as not to loose connection and have the clubhead swing more out towards the ball (which promotes heel contact).

Sometimes doing this makes me tighten the area around the elbows and I don't get full extension from the arms, toe hit.

But generally, swing harder, more "connected"?

When you want to swing FASTER I'd recommend you push the hips forward and tuck the butt faster.  Belt buckle rising and pointing to the sky

I take lessons from Steve too. Excellent instructor. If the lesson in the video from Steve were my first lesson, it would have saved me a serious world of hurt.  Such is life.

In 2008, my first year, I went through four "toe up, toe up" guys in my search for the right teacher. Then I just gave up. Thankfully, I found this site and learned how to tell the difference between a good teacher and a bad one. That makes the search a whole lot easier. Then I found Steve and this was our first season working together. I didn't get to see him as much as I wanted, but we put in a lot of good work in the time we had. How long have you been working with him?

He pretty much changed everything I do haha. From the putting stroke all the way up to the full swing. Fine by me, since I was hanging around a 23 index or so at the time our lessons started.

Actually, this is getting off topic, so maybe I shouldn't start a convo here, but it's cool that you work with Steve as well.

Honestly, Seve could've used some Golf Evolution in his life back on those "bad" ball striking days. But I guess Seve hitting GIR all the time would have been pretty boring, so....

Amazing after having back surgery last year I swing similar to Stack and tilt and my back doesn't hurt.

      I agree, until we are watching the 18th hole in the dark or waiting for the champion to finish and it's been 5+ hours

      Question for the group. The course I normally play at has 27 holes - 3 9s that they use to for 18 in the various combinations. Is it okay to declare* if I’m playing front or back when I play 9 on this course? I’m figuring I need to declare before I play a shot. *meaning just say to myself that this is the back 9. Curious what people think. Of course, my only holes left are 13 and 17, so I’m going to declare the back 9 for the rest of the year. Probably only one or two more rounds though.

      This is my opinion as well. I would love to see the LPGA take the lead on this.    This.

      I agree in general. The one way in which the viewer will notice the pace of play is just that "it's been an hour and Nelly Korda or Scottie Scheffler have only played four holes." Or if for some reason they show a lot of shots of players just standing around when they could be showing golf shots. But I think Andy Johnson said it most recently/best, playing fast is a skill, too. I would love for pro golfers to play faster. You'd see the players you want to see hit more shots in the same time than they do now. So I don't disagree with the pace of play stuff, and hope they can find ways to do it. Heck, the LPGA should leap at the chance to differentiate itself in this way, IMO. So: I stand by what I said in that the TV viewer really doesn't notice much about pace of play. It's rare when they do. I support increasing the pace of play wholeheartedly. But my top five reasons don't include TV ratings or viewership.
