The "stack" part of the stack and tilt swing refers to the upper body position during the shot. The shoulders rotate during the backswing but the point around which they rotate remains in place, being "stacked" above the ball. The spine is therefore kept in alignment with the ball throughout the backswing and the head remains still. The "tilt" part of the swing refers to the tilt to the left required by a right-handed golfer to keep the spine in alignment over the ball during the backswing. Because the weight stays on the front foot and is not transferred to the back foot as in a conventional swing, the shoulder rotation takes place around one central point rather than two, as would be the case during a weight transfer. This is a compact swing, with the arms staying close to the body and the shoulder turn being more vertical than in a conventional swing. The trajectory of the club is much farther inside than in a normal swing. At the top of the swing there is a pronounced tilt toward the target, resulting in the back leg straightening up. Because of the angle of the spine, the stack and tilt swing requires the player to have considerable physical flexibility, and some players using this swing have complained of stress on the back. The more vertical angle resulting from the absence of the weight shift means that the downswing is steeper than in a conventional shot, so that there is less likelihood of topping the ball at impact. The steep angle of the downswing requires a ... Stack and Tilt Aaron Baddeley |

With the Stack and Tilt golf swing, the majority of your weight is on the leading foot which gives you more control as the club hits the ground. Less weight is shifted to the back leg, so it remains straight. This means fewer topped shots because the weight forward makes the approach to the golf ball steeper and the swing is flat and more rotational. At Break point number five, we find Mike Bennett and Bob Koch demonstrating the Stack and Tilt golf swing method using the Medicus Dual-Hinge Driver. ========================= Mike Bennett: Another spot where the club will break is break point number five. And Bob broke the club as he went pass impact. If the weight of your body is too far back, go ahead and demonstrate that Bob. If you notice that he is leaning on his right foot there, Beau. Beau: Yep. Mike Bennett: That will cause the club to overtake or break. Which will cause some missed hits. You see that all the time when people are falling back on their right foot as they try and hit the ball. Beau Rials: Ok, Bob. Go ahead. Bob Koch: So I should feel like in the center, to the left? Mike Bennett: Absolutely, more centered. Beau Rials: So you should not be rushing at this point? Mike Bennett: No.. no need to rush. Bob Koch (swings Meicus driver): Oh yeaaa. Beau Rials: Stayed completely intact all the way through. Mike Bennett: Very good. Beau Rials: Again, make or break point number five, it's at the bottom of the swing. Don't rush it. Mike Bennett: Right. Keep the ... Stack and Tilt with Medicus Dr |
