Thank you! What is he using between his arms there? I'd like to give this a try.

A ball.

Yes, but what kind of ball? Is there a specific size that's better for this drill?

Seriously? :-)

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

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?

Yes

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.

Stack and Tilt Sucks!!! Not technically correct...totally unnatural...And mostly, it hurts golf swings...and backs!

Nice contribution. Please enlighten all of us to your swing methodology so we can improve.

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
