You need to go see a good instructor.

You're trying to get from NYC to LA. By car. Without a map. On a bicycle.

Just get to the airport and buy a ticket. There might be three connecting flights, but it's the faster, surer way to get there.

Well when I came hear a year everyone said the best and easiest way to hit a golf ball successful was stack and tilt....I have to disagree I've read the book three times and have practiced my butt off.... I'm going to either quit playing or break down and see an instructor

If you want a small dose of tough love, you aren't doing it right. And it's not really a book for a raw beginner (nor is Hogan's book, really).

I'll re-iterate what I've told you several times now one more time: go see a good instructor. Don't see just anyone, don't see the cheapest guy necessarily - find a good one and commit to something.

It just would not be my starting point.

If you can't do lessons, video yourself and join the club here so you can get an evaluation.

You might try youtube for S&T, and www.stackandtiltgolfswing.com has beginner type videos.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      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.

      Athletic Motion Golf Video Featuring Our Own Erik Barzeski

      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).
