Math and Geometry in Stack and Tilt swing

[mkdrep]

I've been working on the S&T; swing method since May 2010.  I've seen some good progress as well as having had my struggles with the S&T; as well.  However, I am committed to the swing concept because it promises to be a more consistent swing AND I can measure my own progress using video (with the guidance of some fine S&T; teaching pros)

One phrase I keep reading in this forum, as well as other sources....(including when I took a clinic from Mike and Andy) is "S&T; is 'easy' once you understand the 'math and geometry' of the swing." I continue to wonder what this phrase really means....and if the answer(s) to that phrase can be put into layman's terms so an amateur can really understand it. I think if we could unravel that statement it might make it easier for an amateur to continue to work on the pieces required to build a solid S&T; swing.

I've said variations of that but I don't think I've ever really included "math" in it.

The geometry part is simple and has been explained in several places I think... No disruption of the circle, forces applied directly down-plane rather than off-plane, etc.
