I have been going to Golf Tec a couple years.  My  first teacher left in March and I took a instructor who was much more organized and has begun to take me step by step. Now he is leaving and I had just signed up for a year because I was excited to have him.  Anyway the owner teaches Stack and Tilt and said he would take me on even though his schedule is busy.

Any opinions on Stack and Tilt from experienced people here.  I ask as this thread is older. Also, I had a pro analyze my swing after I bought, "The Hanger" online. (It was part of the package), and his opinion was that Stack and Tilt was ineffective.  I struggle with consistency. Handicap 28.

 

 

I follow Ayumi Hori on Instagram, she teaches S&T, not really giving an opinion, but you can see for yourself the progression of students using the method, might be enlightening.

Well…

  • Stack and Tilt, done "properly," can be a good motion for people.
  • Unfortunately, many people don't really teach it properly. They'll exaggerate and honestly kinda pervert certain parts of it. Specifically, I don't love:
    • Weight forward. Often overdone, even during the backswing. This reduces dynamic motion and shot height.
    • Hands in. This often results in a trapped/stuck trail elbow.

I don't know about your age, limitations, etc. But if you're still a 28… and you've been working really hard, and spending a lot of money, I'd really start to ask if you're getting value out of any of this. Maybe it's time to find something other than your current instructors, as even the one you liked has you almost never even breaking 100. Right?

I overdid the weight forward bit, head tips forward from the get go, it's still in my swing albeit less now, still something I work on (can be seen in full glory in my swing thread).

I read this about a year ago and took a lot from it - in conjunction with watching Tom Saguaro, Eric Cogorno and Jess Phillips on YouTube who all incorporate much, if not all, of the techniques in the book.

There is a great section on diagnosing your swing problems by looking at ball flight and such like. It wants you to be an independent thinker and master your swing rather than just follow (despite it having a set of basic 'rules')

I would recommend this for older players, less flexible players or those whose backs and hips haven't thanked them for their golf swing in the past. I think it fixes many problems of injury in older golfers.

Lastly, I found it didnt really help my distance , but helped my consistency in flight of ball and target.

    • This is pretty much how I look at it.  I understand there are times when the piece of mind has value. I think over the long haul I'm money ahead by never buying the extended warrantee. Hell, What do I know? I went to Ch!cago PubIic SchooIs.

    • On my car I got the extended power train warranty. I do read the fine print most of the time. Though at now 37, my eyes aren’t what they were 10 years ago.    The problem with most of these extended warranties on electronics and appliances is you don’t register the warranty with the place you buy the warranty from, which I’ve always found strange. Unless it’s GameStop then you know Alina drops her Switch in the next two years and the screen cracks they’ll replace it. No questions asked.    You buy a slow cooker at Walmart for $50 and the extended warranty is say $6, you have to go through a third party to register your product for the warranty, and it’s pretty damn annoying. Target is the same way. Anything you buy the extended protection on you have to go through a third party.    Why do retailers go through a “broker” for warranties? Because they don’t wanna deal with it? They make me talk to someone from another country, that I can barely understand, when I need my warranty fulfilled.   Sorry for the rant.
    • You may be able to find a regular flex Blueboard on the second hand market. I’m little more than half your age so I swing a shaft that launches pretty low so I don’t have a lot of experience with Regular flex (other than when I try to hit it I miss way to the left).    There are other shafts, such as the newer Ping Alta that I’ve heard good things about. And one that no one talks about. The Jupiter shaft. You can get this shaft for a $100 with a grip and your Ping adapter installed. I was talking to the golf manager at Dick’s Sporting Goods here and he has one in his driver and has nothing but good things to say about it. I thought about getting one for my Paradym Triple Diamond to play it a little shorter, but haven’t pulled the trigger yet.
