Your Golf Swing: To Stack Or Not To Stack?
Online, February 22, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Hey, everyone!
So, if you've been golfing for a while, then you know that getting your swing momentum is one of the most important aspects of the game to master. Read below and let me know what you think. (fyi-I stack back)
------------------------------
So I am sure the question is there for so many of you - should you stack your weight on the front foot and lean your spine towards the target during the backswing or shouldn't you? If you ask last week's winner on the PGA TOUR -- Aaron Baddeley, he is probably going to give the more the conventional answer.
As it has been well documented over the last few years, Aaron Baddeley was one of the bigger names that adopted the Stack and Tilt method that was introduced by golf instructors Andy Plummer and Mike Bennett. Baddeley among a few others gave the controversial method a real boost after joining the team following his last win back in 2007; however, after limited success the Aussie went back to his long time coach -- Dale Lynch.
The truth is that even if you are more conventional at address and have tilted your spine slightly away from the target, your spine would still be leaning toward the target during the backswing if you were to stay in your spine angle. Although you probably don't feel this -- it does happen. Now, imagine that you have no tilt or are tilted slightly toward the target at address, your spine would be well toward the target during the backswing assuming you stay in your spine angle. This exaggerated approach to the spine along with your weight excessively forward, you can see where the name Stack and Tilt starts to define itself.
