Hi Erik, don't get irate with me, not bashing S&T just sharing my experience and hoping for help. Love to make stack n tilt work out as I feel that my iron play is 100% better and if I can get the driver technique down and move towards the swing  with all my clubs I have a feeling I'd drop 5-7 strokes at least. Intellectually the swing's principles make absolute sense to me compared with the tenets of conventional instruction. Maybe when the weather gets better, I will make another run at it.

I'd rather not reply with this person's name on the internet because he's a good guy, that really tried hard to help me, even threw in some freebies. Note I was not critical of his efforts, maybe it's something I'm not picking up.  I think you as a teaching professional can understand that.

Instructor and I kept working at it but eventually went back to the conventional method as playing with 2 techniques on the course never realy worked out. Also, started feeling a twinge and slight pain in my front knee using the technique that went away when I abandoned the method.

And the name of your "SnT instructor" is what? I ask because I know them and they're good, and I doubt they'd have you topping the ball with your driver and fairway woods.

Nobody's irate. I asked you who you worked with, because in my experience there are a fair number of people who claim to know the pattern but who don't, and since I know virtually all of them I can say fairly confidently that they'd not have you topping your fairway woods and driver.

And no, I absolutely do not agree. If you want to PM me privately with his name, that's one thing, but to not share his name at all is exactly the kind of thing that lets lousy instruction continue.

    • Has Scottie been losing his footing on shots today or is this something he does regularly? 
    • How many times does Cameron Young get his big misses to kick out into the fairway this week? Burns at #2:  his second was a penalty (unplayable), punched out, missed his fourth long.   (I asked earlier and now I know, so I'm posting in case anyone else had the question)
    • I was watching a Tiger highlight reel earlier today;  all his eagles at the Masters (all were at par-5s, except one at #14). That and this got me to thinking, what would a Sergio Garcia career highlight reel consist of?  Destroyed tee boxes, damaged tee markers, yelling at rules officials, and spitting in at least one cup. I didn't see Sam Burns's second through fourth shots at #2.  How did he end up off the green for his fifth?  
    • Would he be the first winner of the Masters to be banned from Augusta!  Also, come on Sergio, you are a 46 year old over the hill golfer. Go get your Saudi paycheck and chill. You are not that good anymore to get that upset. Go enjoy your "retirement" in LIV. 
    • I think this is what you are talking about him doing? Close enough? It could have changed a bit, or maybe he added an extra piece to it, so it might not look exactly the same as this.  Note, this is from 5 years ago, so it is something is just has to always do.
