Stack and Tilt Golf Swing
From the recent Stack and Tilt (Golf Digest - June 2007) article there has been much discussion on whether it is a new swing, a reverse pivot, marketing hype, different from the modern swing, and it implied practicality. (Pictured - Aaron Baddeley; Stack and Tilt Swing)
“The major difference with the “Stack and Tilt” swing is that it encourages the golfer to keep his weight on his or her front foot during the entire swing. In other words, it does away with the idea that there should be a “weight shift” during the backswing. With the Stack and Tilt swing the golfer starts with about 60% of his or her weight on the front foot, and actually shifts more weight to the front when taking the club back,” according to the article.
Take look at the Stack and Tilt, being taught to Peter Finch, by Andy Plummer and Mike Bennett.

Also another S&T video narrated by Brady Riggs, regarding Eric Axley’s swing.

Added note: Take particular note of Mike Weir’s swing (and practice swing) when you see him on TV. Yes, it is the Stack and Tilt!
