I am a 12.1 handicap and shot a 78 on a par 72 course, from the middle tees (40/38). I read a simple two page article on S&T a couple of weeks ago (in the latest issue of Golf Digest), and since using S&T I've been playing my best golf ever.
I found the article easy to understand and easy to put into practice. I find I really don't have any swing thoughts anymore except perhaps to keep my tempo and rhythm smooth. If you are struggling to find a swing, you may want to try S&T. It certainly works for me. |

I have the S&T DVD and it does offer some great advice that has helped with my swing. I haven't converted over to S&T completely but have adopted some things that transcend both a S&T swing and a traditional swing. Watching the DVD and the discussion on the Point of Tangency really hit home and helped to explain a lot of what you are trying to do in a golf swing. If you can't hit the ground in the same place everytime with your swing, you will never succeed at golf to sum it up as simply as possible.

I have practiced the S & T a few times but I struggle with reverse pivots too much to try it in a round. My biggest problem in golf is, has been and always will be hitting behind the ball with my irons. Not fat shots as much as just catching the ground right behind the ball and when the ground is wet or damp it will kill my ball striking. It's the number one problem I have in my game as far as full shots go. I know the cause, I've seen it on video but it always creeps in on me. Not getting off my right side fast enough is the culprit. I can hit woods great most days, hybrids are affected by it in the least but with a short iron it can wreak havoc on your distance. If I keep struggling with getting stuck on iron shots I may not have a choice but to try the S & T next season and see if that cures my woah's of not hitting the ball first on my approach shots.

I'd also suggest that if there is a chance that you take a school which are offered from time to time from Mike and Andy. They are very often in the cities where the pros are playing and are on the weekend after they are done working with the players. It was an extremely eye opening experience and will save you a few months of frustration of trying to learn everything on your own. Well worth the investment in my opinion. |

I have tried the Stack & Tilt with some pretty interesting success. My right knee had major surgery a few years ago. I had the left side repaired but the right side still acts up, especially during cold rainy periods. To load my weight on the left side helps me especially with the irons. I'm not comfortable with my driver using this technique although I have not put it to use as much. It really does seem to help stop you from hitting behind the ball. If you can adapt to this swing, it feels like you catch the ball first and then drive through with your divot. I am more of a sweeper so it helps me push through the ball for better contact.
