Why do People who use the stack and tilt method For a long Time Period  End up Quiting?  Is it because the Of the Feeling  that They can only get so good using the S&T; method?  Which Would be a false Thing to think since Charlie Wi Finished  Runner Up to David  Toms  a few Weeks  ago and has Banked over Five Million Dollars On tour , Aaron Baddeley  Won three Times while Using S&T;, Mike Weir beat Tiger in Singles play At the Presidents Cup in 2007! Maybe It`s Just because The Method has a Name?                                                                                                                      So Just tell me your Thoughts on why People Leave The Method? http://stackandtiltgolfswing.com/the-record-setting-it-straight/

Probably because it hasn't proven to be any more effective than any other type of swing coaching.  Everyone's mileage will vary.  Pro's play to win and if they're not winning consistently then they won't likely stick to something.   Padraig Harrington won a bunch of majors and wasn't happy with his swing so he changed it.   Tiger Woods dominated everyone and he changed his swing.

I think these would be examples of the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.  I know half the world thinks Tiger was better under Butch than Haney.

The problem is you can only be on one side of the fence at a time!

I think Tiger's margin's of victory were greater under Harmon but he has more wins under Haney so I guess Haney wins that one!

Tigers recent decision to change his swing was to minimize additional damage to his left knee and delay knee replacement surgery until after his career is over.

I was referring to the swing change he did year ago, I think it was around 2003 when he was hyper concerned about how he was flighting the ball.

      Day 37: did my drill swings in the garage with foam balls for about 15 minutes. Working on getting my backswing more turned and then going from there.

      Retaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By iacas · Posted

      Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.

      Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂

      I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).
