How To Switch To The Stack and Tilt Golf Swing By Mick Euan Tait
<p> </p> <p>For those that are unsure what the Stack and Tilt golf swing is all about, here is a quick resume: It is a simple golf swing that uses less moving body parts and is more compact and consistent. Because of the simplicity of the swing, it is easier to make contact with the sweet spot of the club, permitting you to hit a straighter, longer, and more consistent golf swing.</p> <p>The <strong>Stack and Tilt golf swing</strong> is a fairly new or modern-day swing that is gaining fans. If you don’t want to mess with your golf swing then switching to this new swing will not be for you, but if you are not pleased with your traditional swing and think that this swing could be your answer, then here is an explanation of the Stack and Tilt golf swing so that you can try it out.</p> <p>It all started with golf swing instructors Andy Plummer and Mike Bennett, who developed the Stack and Tilt golf swing after many years of research. The Stack & Tilt golf swing keeps your weight stacked over the ball for perfect contact of the ball. There are some golf swing gurus, though, who don’t recommend changing over to it (most likely because they sell their own traditional golf swing manual!)</p> <p>You will now see some pros on the PGA Tour using the Stack and Tilt golf swing – for example, Aaron Baddeley and Mike Weir plus over 20 other PGA pros. If more of the top golfers begin using this swing, then you will find more golf instructors teaching the Stack and Tilt swing. Until then, if you want to learn this swing, you will find an extremely complete DVD guide called the <a target="_blank" target="_blank" href="http://www.golf-online-tips.com/swing/stackandtiltdvd.html">GetStacked</a> DVD series.</p> <p><strong>The Set-Up Position</strong></p> <p>The first difference with the Stack and Tilt swing is that you set-up with the weight mainly on your left foot (for right handed golfers.) When you begin your back-swing, more weight is transferred to your left foot which means that there is, in effect, no weight transfer because the majority of your weight stays on the left foot throughout the golf swing. With a traditional swing set-up the hips are tilted at an angle, but with the Stack and Tilt, the golfer’s hips will be in a more horizontal plane. Also, the ball is positioned further back in the stance with the driver.</p> <p><strong>The Top Of The Back-swing</strong></p> <p>The Stack and Tilt back-swing is a bit shorter than the tradition golf swing. The “Stack” part refers to the center point of the shoulders and hips being in a straight line over the ball. In a traditional golf swing, the shoulders are centered more over the right hip. The “Tilt” part refers to the spine angle, which is slightly tilted towards the target.</p> <p><strong>The Impact Position</strong></p> <p>The head position at impact will be “Stacked” over the ball, while the head is behind the ball with the traditional swing. The hips stay on a level plane at impact while with the traditional swing, the golfer’s hips will have even more tilt than at the set up position.</p> <p><strong>The GetStacked DVD Series</strong></p> <p>It is not very easy to describe the Stack and Tilt swing with only words, but if you are interested in learning the swing you can check out the <a target="_blank" target="_blank" href="http://www.golf-online-tips.com/swing/stackandtiltdvd.html">Stack and Tilt</a> DVD series. You will be learning the Stack & Tilt golf swing from the guys that developed the Stack and Tilt golf swing, Mike Bennett and Andy Plummer; they are the same instructors that taught the swing to the likes of Mike Weir and Aaron Baddeley.</p> <p>If you are struggling with your traditional swing or you just want to try an easier swing that gives you more accuracy, consistency, and distance, then for a limited time you can get the <strong>GetStacked DVD series</strong> which includes 4 DVD’s for the price of one.</p> <p> </p>
