Stack and Tilt: Mike Weir with Gary Player

Mike discussing his swing with Gary at the President's Cup. Mike describes how he tilts as a practice drill as a means to remain steady... rather than actually tilting towards target or moving off the ball during backswing.

on the stack and tilt system is your back leg locked or just slightly bent, someone answer for me pls

By letting the rotational process of the spine redistribute pressure on your feet during the back-swing from a say 70/30 favoring front foot at address, you will discover the golf swing feels free without you having to fight it any step of the way. No compensations. Most modern players today are either swinging this way or working towards it. Tiger included. Look at Dustin Johnson. of course look at Hogan.

Look at Jerry Barber from about sec.32-37 in this youtube video:

"Ben Hogan 1960 Masters"

Its in my favorites. You can plainly see he kept too much weight (increased it actually) on the front foot during the back-swing. His center was too far in front of the ball and he blew it right.

[hogansking]

Its so obvious this is the biggest mistake people are making with S&T. There should be NO EFFORT TO STAY ON FRONT FOOT DURING THE BACK-SWING. PERIOD! Start there? YES. Keep your center steady? YES! Keep your weight on the left? NO!

Let the natural clockwise rotation of the spine (if you're RH) redistribute some pressure so you become one with the ground (weight on both feet at top (precisely...inside right heel, inside front metatarsalgia (ball of foot).

[hogansking]

inside front metatarsalgia (ball of foot). LEFT FOOT HERE IF YOU ARE RH'ED.

[hogansking]

From here the moment you start the downswing you'll be back on the left side (through-swing pivot point) with a nice steady center for great consistent contact every time with proper trajectory.

Hope all this helps and good luck.

What a beautiful fluid swing...

Too bad Mike,,,these Stack and Tilt bums ruined you,,,,all the hard work you put in,,,winning on the PGA tour,,,a Masters champion a world class player.

Fuck what a God awful waste of talent, no wonder so many pros are leaving this nonsensical " method ".

[Inmotion70]

This swing that Mike Weir made is not S&T or even close.

[Gyro911]

Im gonna eat my words Stack and tilt is the real deal. Tried the S&T for the first time on 2 holes on the course but, was erratic so i Went back to my old swing which eventually became inconsistent so decided to check out the S&T again with one minor adjustment, to stay more in front of the ball and VIOLA !! i was hitting straight shots with proper elevation and great rolls. Short irons were deadly accurate for getting on getting to the green. Just gotta work on distance now

@137paddy Wow that was great...insult the whole country rather than just the guy you are talking to. What a dickface thing to say. Who give a fuck if anyone "takes us seriously"...looks like you may need to stop taking yourself SO seriously. I think Stack And Tilt IS lame in a lot of ways, I will say. The reverse pivot part of it anyway. (and the forced finish)

[paulski5]

@rawtella The truth is...no one has defined exactly what a reverse pivot IS. There is no universal glossary. I can write a book and claim to know exactly what it is too. The truth is there has been no exact consensus. I do know that a target-leaning spine is a hell of a good start...
