I felt that this Dr Van Biezen seemed like a very bright and respected guy in the industry so I put my hand up to ask the question everyone wants to know the answer to. I have a tendency to stir the pot a little and I thought I would give it a try. It gets to my turn and I ask, “In your opinion, relative to injury preventation, is there a best anatomical/biomechanical way to swing a golf club that is the easiest on the body?” “Is there a best way.” Dr. Van Biezen says, “You’re going to make me say it aren’t you.” I start to get excited. Noone ever answers that question. I had no idea what was going to happen next. His answer……

Stack and Tilt!

The room shut down. All the talk stopped. Up till then, I could here little snickers about the system when they were talking about injury. This was especially true when the subject of reverse pivot and reverse ‘C’ was being discussed. During that talk Dr. Van Biezen mentioned that he had worked with some stack and tilters on there backs while he was on tour.

He went on to say, assuming the player had no imbalances or weaknesses that stack and tilt presented the least amount of sheering forces in the spinal region when performed correctly. Amazing as it sounded to many, it just made me laugh. I love when people that don’t research get slammed. To me, and from second hand information, it seems pretty clear that TPI is in agreement with what Dr. Van Biezen was saying. I hypothesize that this information will come out in a big way at the TPI World Fitness Summit but that’s just a guess.

I'm not surprised by this information. I'm a 66-yr old doctor. I had trouble getting shoulder turn without hurting my back using a more conventional swing. With SnT, I get much better shoulder turn and it doesn't bother my back at all.

S&T players on tour stay healthy. They don't miss tournament due to injury and they play in a bunch of them.

Lies! The Perfect Connection Golf Swing is the only swing that will not leave you a functional cripple after the front nine. I get an email from them every single day assuring me of this, so it must be true.
