We often hear that every golfer is different and, therefore, needs a different swing. The goal is to develop a swing that hits the ball the longest, the straightest, the most often. If you can learn to hit the ball solid consistently, you'll progress quickly. Swing technique varies greatly, even among the best players, but solid contact is the essential first ingredient. This is the most important and most observable difference between the traditional swing and the Stack & Tilt. If your weight stays in place, contact is predictable if your weight moves back and forth, it is not. The first fundamental is hitting the ball solidly, and that comes primarily from controlling where your weight is during the swing. With Stack & Tilt you simply favor your front foot at address and stay there throughout the swing, with no weight ever moving to your back foot. There is no guesswork as to where the club will be at impact, no requirement to locate the ball through precise timing. Stack & Tilt keeps the body centered over the ball during the backswing and through the shot. Then we found evidence of these principles in the game's best players, past and present. We came to our conclusions and devised the system you're about to learn not just by studying how certain professionals hit the ball, but by applying the rules of science. Remember, geometry and physics are the same for everyone the anatomy of the individual player's body dictates the actual swing mechanics.

To push the boundaries further today, as long as they practice with patience and realistic expectations during the initial stages of the session. See Adam Young's blog for more information on the learning curve: The Ups and Downs of Learning. Consequently they're forced to use vague cliches such as: "I swung too fast" or "I looked up." Thus Golfers become frustrated with the lack of direction, their games regression, or improvement that comes too slowly. Why aren't their games improving? It boils down to no consensus on the basic physics of the game (such as what makes the ball go where it goes) and to no universal language for golfers to communicate the moves they're making or the shots they're hitting. Golfers are either learning the wrong things, or the right things in the wrong order. Most instruction today teaches moves that lead not only to a slice but also to hitting the ground behind the ball, which has inhibited the development of players and the game itself. The majority of the text below is from Michael Bennett and Andy Plummer's book: The Stack and Tilt Swing. Do not think that the ideas below are wrong in any way! Credit to AM Golf Associates LLC. I suggest reading this section first, then slightly tweaking these ideas by following Sean Foley's advice because of how Stack and Tilt can stress you back more than Foley's "hybrid" version. In this section I will go more in depth on the Stack and Tilt golf swing from the previous section The Stack and Tilt Hybrid Golf Swing and Weight Shift.
