Forget the Stack and Tilt....Just Tilt!

A great dedicated golf teacher Doc Prose once said; "Any system is better than not having one". He's right. If you're focused on performing a specific movement and if you can repeat it time and again...even if it's wrong...at least you have some predictability in your ball flight and you can plan accordingly. However some motions can cause you such difficulty that they just can't be overcome such as a sever "over the top" swing path.

Many of the golf lesson businesses come up with cute descriptions of their method like the X Factor....whooooo.... the one plane or two plane swing.....wow which one am I...somethings it looks like I'm the fourth plane swinger!

I shy away from all these types of so called magic methods and so should you. Why? Because you can NOT force fit yourself to any one's method. You would have to hit golf balls until your hands bleed to reprogram your body to move contrary to its natural tendencies.

That's why I look at someones natural tendencies and chip away at the areas where most of the improvement would be recognized and enjoyed. Great players know THEIR swing. They ALL have nagging problems and they know how to keep them under control.

The latest craze is this "Stack and Tilt" thing. Well they got have of it right...the Tilt. The stack part actually makes the tilt more difficult to perform in my estimation and leans toward that dreaded "reverse pivot" that so many golfers worked so hard to alleviate.

Take a look at this video attached that shows what I'm talking about. The BIG move that most golfers miss is the tilt of the shoulders on the downswing. It is the turning of the shoulders that causes the over the top swing path.
