Pretty funny, that is almost exactly how I swing (which I'd always been told was completely wrong).

Plus points (for me) are that I strike the ball very well and hit all my irons straight on a nice trajectory.

Downside is that I don't have the same reliability with the driver for some reason. Also I lose about 5%-10% yardage vs. a more traditional swing.

Make the same swing except start with your weight more behind the ball. Cover your right axis instead of the ball and this will move the bottom of your swing to slightly behind the ball, as opposed to just in front of it.

If you're a 5 handicap, there is no way in hell you should be changing your swing. I've heard of too many people trying to change their swing, only to have the result of confusion and wishing they never ever tried to change.


I dunno. If you do try'n change, I guess let us know.

Why shouldn't a 5 handicap change their swing?

Well I was flying home to New Orleans today and read this article. I have to say, I'm intrigued. I'd love to give it a shot, though I'm not quite sure where (or to whom) I could go for more info if I hit a roadblock.

Btw, am I the only one who, as a poker player, would love to be able to refer to my swing as the "Stack and Tilt"?
