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.
