Product Description
An in-depth, full-color, step-by-step guide to the new golf swing that has taken the PGA Tour by storm
The traditional golf swing requires a level of coordination that few golfers have. So it's no surprise that, despite huge advances in club and ball technology, the average golf handicap in America has dropped by only one stroke since 1990. Maverick golf instructors Michael Bennett and Andy Plummer spent a decade researching the swing, eventually combining physiology and physics to create a method they dubbed the "Stack and Tilt." The result? Big-name pros like Mike Weir, Tommy Armour III, and Aaron Baddeley are already converts, and Bennett and Plummer are now two of the most soughtafter swing coaches in the game.
Making these breakthroughs available to everyone, The Stack and Tilt Swing is a handsome, fully illustrated, complete course, packed with more than two hundred full-color photographs that make it easy for golfers at all levels to adopt this radical yet simple approach. Analyzing why the traditional swing won't work for most golfers, the authors explain the importance of keeping the upper body stacked over the lower body, while the spine tilts toward the target during the backswing, greatly reducing the inconsistencies created by the old-fashioned approach. Enhanced with practice routines, a troubleshooting list, test cases, and point-by-point assistance, this is the breakthrough guide to golf's hot new secret weapon.

 The Stack and Tilt Swing February 18, 2010

The swing was found to be not suited for me. I was not striking the ball any better.
 prefer book over the dvds February 11, 2010

I am a 7-9 handicap golfer who switched to the stack and tilt method about 1-2 years ago. I am tall 6'4", so anything that reduced lateral sway is probably good for me. Ball stiking is much better and misses are not as severe for me with this method. The book does a better job of explaining the geometry than the dvds in my opinion. I really now understand what I am trying to do as well as what I did wrong on my misses. I also really like the idea of developing a shot cone which is explained in the book. Last year I was able to shoot par for one round which was very exciting. I hope to do even better this year with increased understanding and more practice with the method. Great scores usually come from making lots of 6-10 foot putts. Good luck guys, BC

The book describes a different golf swing and can help folks have more fun with the game.
Try it for SOLID ball contact February 6, 2010
Bruce W. Gerhold (Oklahoma)
The book is well written, and brings out excellent arguments that conventionally taught techniques are mastered by only a select few. The general player needs a technique that is simpler to execute; something that you do not have to practice EVERY day.
Transition to try the swing was relatively easy. After a few buckets of balls on the range, I consistently hit the club head sweet spot and have better directional control. This swing is not a distance master, but shot consistency lowers you score faster than distance. I did not sacrifice distance, but do not expect extra distance. The swing works best on irons and hybrids with some adaptation and practice required on the driver and 3 wood.
After reading the book, and practicing with the swing, I will keep this new style. I also see many of the moves taught while watching pros on TV - look for the dipping left shoulder and straight right leg - it's on TV, but not taught.
Overall, I think the authors are correct in their teachings and these changes will improve your swing. Some of the full swing basics resemble what Dave Pelz teaches in the "Short Game Bible", and recall the foundation of a good short game is solid repeatable contact. Give the technique a try: the switch is easy, and I suspect you could go back to conventional methods without undoing bad habits.
A second benefit is the swing removes all stress from your right leg, and will help any right knee and hip ailments in right handed golfers.
The only downside is you may have difficulty finding a pro teacher for help: be prepared to study the book and solve your own problems. After all, self help is required to develop a good game so this is a good place to start.
 The Stack and Tilt Swing Book Review February 2, 2010
Thomas G. Wasley (Wisconsin)
I was excited about this new book on teaching how to play the game of golf and found it to be an excellent book. Very well researched and definitely breaking new territory in golf instruction. If one can apply its teachings from reading the book, they deserve a gold star. It is a challenging read. It is a difficult read to understand but, I believe, even more difficult to apply. It will need to be kept for future reference as one applies its methods in practice and play. So don't loan it out to your buddy because you'll need to have it handy as you put its methods to the test.
I do believe in what the authors are teaching and how they are teaching what they have discovered. It is a quality product and generally well done, however, I believe that in future revisions the authors need to use many more visuals to clarify the points they are trying to convey to the reader.
I'm pleased that I purchased it and would do it again and am looking forward to trying to apply, on my own, what they have discovered about the correct swing.
