How to get more distance out of the Stack & Tilt swing?

[tsplash75]

Hi Folks,

I've been working on the S&T; swing for a few weeks now. The S&T; swing has brought great consistency to my shots and am happy to say that I am no longer ashamed of my hacking skills. However, being 5'9" and 145lbs doesn't exactly equal huge power or distance numbers. Short of taking steroids and hitting the gym, there has got to be a way to squeeze some more yards out of my swing.

I've hit the driving range multiple times the past few weeks and found that I've been averaging about 145yds with my 6 iron. Taking everyone else's driving numbers with a grain of salt, I still believe I could get it to 150-160yds with reasonable effort and adjustments to my swing.

Personally, I think I've got to try to bring the belt up and tuck the butt on my upswing. What are your thoughts or suggestions? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

**It shouldn't make too much of a difference, but I'm using TM Burner Plus irons.

Hi. I'd definitely suggest taking a video of your swing for the forum's swing guru's to take a look at and give you some thoughts. There's a post on the forum somewhere detailing the best way to do this.

I'd also suggest seeing if there's a local S&T; teacher near you (the official site has a list).
