Golf Life Television and Hitgolf.com interview Michael Bennett, the co-inventor of the popular new swing on the PGA Tour, The Stack and Tilt. Bennett and his partner researched golf swings and body mechanics to arrive at this golf swing philosophy that has been very successful with many PGA tour professionals like Dean Wilson, Mike Wier and Arron Baddeley.

yeah go to shawn clements page on youtube. he has a golf injuries video where he explains why this is so hard on the lower back
For a long time instructors taught students to have the feeling you were “sitting” on a bar stool. I always believed we should have been teaching people to feel as though you were “leaning” back on a stool. The last thing you would ever want to do is sit in golf. Sitting will cause the golf club to swing too level to the ground in the downswing, and you will have a tendency to hit the ground behind the golf ball. w w w (dot) golferbreak80 (dot) c0m
looks like the start of back problems with that follow through. And with that angle of attack id think that to be effective you would have to be quite strong to square the clubface and not have blocks or slices. id be worrying that it could interfere with a players short game and potentially make chip shots come out thin? All other sports seem to transfer weight that involve projecting a ball forwards e.g. tennis. I may be wrong just would be interested on peoples take on what ive said
steve sieracki is the fucking man!
I’m a recreational golfer, and since I’ve used Stack and Tilt, my swing and game has improved greatly. I figured that I’d try it, and if it didn’t work for me, I’d go back to the traditional method (which I will never do now). For all the nay-sayers…..I don’t remember anyone saying that everyone has to try this out. If you don’t like it, for whatever reason…..DON’T USE IT, AND PLEASE QUIT BITCHING!

I’ve had great luck with this. There has been a lot of focus by instructors on the weight shift as a means of adding power to the swing during the last 25 yrs or so. It will, but it makes timing more complex. I think this is a great swing for recreational players like myself. I got the new hardcover book on Amazon for only $17.00 or so and page 29 “learning the basics”, showed me club contact like I’ve seldom felt – pure!
looks like a swing for hackers. taught myself to consistently shoot in 70′s at wilmette cc. be a 90′s shooter with stack and tilt.
You misunderstand. He’s saying that since everyone does the things that most teachers stress differently, those things cannot be fundamentals. Rather, they are at most idiosyncrasies; fundamentals are elements that must be present in order to become proficient in a given task. Understand that there is such a thing as truth, and this means that there is a perfect way to swing a golf club. It’s not opinion.
It’s no gimmick. Understand that this is simply the way golf used to be played, before someone originated the silly idea that your weight should be shifted back off your pivot leg. Bobby Jones said himself that there is NO SHIFT OF WEIGHT to the right side in the golf swing. Anyway, some months after switching to S&T I was hitting every shot dead solid perfect.
completely false. mike and andys website will be up and running in under three weeks. this stuff is going to change the way golf is taught
hehe … just another swing gimmick for the suckers out there.
Looks like that would do wonders for your back too … lol.
Bobby really has a good golf training system for the money. I would buy it again. Golferbreak80com
Break 80 by next weekend. Bobby is a great coach and his online course is definitely worth it. GolferBreak80com
It doesnt hurt you back,
yeah, i use it and after 18 holes your back is sore, but if you’ll learn its worth it
i heard stack, n tilt was bad on ur back, can someone explain
A simple and effective way of swinging a golf club… I am a happy converter.
Hardy is definitely a hack. First he comes out and talks about two definite swing styles (one and two planes), then all his seminars are about hybrid swings.
Not true, power comes from club head speed and energy transfer from the club head into the golf ball. Mathematical equation is E=1/2Mv(2). In golf this is measured and explained via club head speed and “smash factor” which is a function of energy transfer from the club head into the golf ball. If you notice the power generating parts of the swing itself do not change, the shoulders and hip are still allowed to rotate to generate centrifugal force and club head speed.
Hmm, I’ll have to give this a try. To each his own.
I have not tried this and dont intend to either, but if your weight is stacked on the left at the top, where does the power come from, traditionally its from the weight shift and clearing of the left hip, ie hip/shoulder separation on the down swing, i dont know it just doesnt look right to me! need more convincing !!
ye i figured my take away out and then on my downswing i have no worries and just let it rip. iv been hitting my drives 30 40 yards longer. i also upgraded my driver which helps so ye thats key forsure. im hitting my driver 320 330 and my 3 wood 260
Fought iron play for over a year. Inconsistent because I lost the trust in being able to get to the ball on time every time. Went to hybrids to compensate. I watched this video and tried it on the couse last Saturday. I hit the longest seven iron, pitching wedge, A-wedge, Driver, and 3 wood I have ever hit in my life. 172yd Par 3 ( seven Iron) 515 yd Par 5 on the fringe in 2(Driver 279yds then 3-wood 235yds) I have no worries about the takeaway anymore and feel confident in my swing.
Not really. they teach a pattern. ou can see from the S&T players on the PGA Tour that they look different. Weir, Badds, Wilson. Similar action but very different.
