I‘ll bet your wondering what the heck is a stack and tilt golf swing right? Have you ever heard it before? If you have, you most likely read about it in the Golf Digest Magazine. In the past few months they’ve had quite a bit of coverage on it, as well as strong responses from some of the top golf instructors from around the US.
There are several main differences from the setup, backswing, downswing, impact and follow through. It definitely goes against the grain of fundamental golf.
Look at the setup to the right (pictures provided by Golf Digest Magazine). The stack and tilt player on the left is right on top of the ball, and the conventional player is set up with a spine tilt behind the ball.
That in itself is a dramatic difference. It’s as if the non-conventional player is setting himself of for a reverse pivot already!
Everything in the stack and tilt player is level except his right hand being lower on the grip, causing his right shoulder to be only slightly lower than the left. The spine has no angle to it, with the head being right on top of the ball.
Notice the conventional player with hands ahead of ball; head behind ball; right shoulder significantly lower than left. Everything is behind the ball except the left leg for the most part.
