Lately, like many others, I've been experimenting a bit with Stack and Tilt. At address I typically set up with my weight centered, then just shift forward a bit before I start my swing. A day or 2 ago I was reading a thread on here (I can't remember which one now) that contained a training video from Dave W about keeping the head behind the ball while still sliding your hips through on the down swing. This got me thinking that in the shifting of my weight to my left side at address, I was also moving my head.

So, my question: What does it feel like when you put your weight forward at address? Does it feel like you are sliding just your hips, or do you feel like you move both your upper and lower centers forward to achieve the proper feeling at address? When I just move my lower center, it feels like a reverse K. Any advice?

I feel a little more tension in my front leg quadriceps, sort of pre loading sensation for the front knee to flex during the backswing. Your set up position is still centered. http://www.golfdigest.com/golf-instr...ndtilt3_gd0706

see example in the picture below (the person in the red pants/yellow shirt is slightly weight forward at address.

Thanks for the response. I went back to the set up pages of the Stack and Tilt book and it confirmed what you've said. I think my problem is I am trying to get too much weight on my front foot at address which is making me feel like I move my head in front of the ball. Really the 55/45 shouldn't feel require a huge forward weight shift. I hope I'm on the right track.

    • Idk but I would have to imagine that a putter that is aimed where you think it's aimed would be the most important aspect of a putter

    • Nothing exposes low point control, and for that matter the general quality of ball striking like tight lies. Lol! I am at a crossroad. My days of playing with a super strong left hand grip are coming to an end it seems. I'm finding it increasingly difficult to maintain proper face control through impact as the club face naturally wants to turn over. The quality of strike and ball flight difference when I weaken the grip is stark. Problem is a weaker grip is at odds with my poor sore left forearm which I have been nursing for last few days after 3 days of demanding golf. As of now I will continue my 'transition' to a weaker grip with woods and hopefully my forearm will condition as I go along. Maybe someday I'll get to a normal address with irons too.
