"The Stack and Tilt Swing: The Definitive Guide..." by Andy Plummer and Mike Bennett

**iacas**

Discuss "The Stack and Tilt Swing: The Definitive Guide to the Swing That Is Remaking Golf" by Andy Plummer and Mike Bennett here.

I've heard that Mike and Andy aren't 100% pleased with the book, just as they weren't 100% pleased with the Golf Digest articles.

In the book, for example, instead of using a few terms from The Golfing Machine, they had to "dumb them down" and say things like "uncock the left wrist" and stuff.

FWIW, the power accumulators are:

1 - Bending and straightening of right arm
2 - Cocking and uncocking of the left wrist
3 - Turn and roll of the angle between the club shaft and the left forearm
4 - Angle formed by the left arm and the left shoulder

Looking forward to hearing comments on this book. Can someone say if this book is better than the S&T dvd? I cannot find a golf pro teaching S&T where I live and would like to give it a try.

I've been reading in this forum some of the threads on the S&T swing and am practicing the moves at the range. I'm having better results (same distance but much better flight control and better contact) than with the traditional weight shift swing (power pivot).

This is just a question, but has the book not been released yet? Looks like another 10days for the hard cover.

Yep, 10 days. I just wanted to start the thread ahead of time in case I'm too busy reading to remember to start it.

I pre-ordered for my Kindle.

Amazingly (given some of my posts here and abouts), this is on my Christmas list as of a couple of days ago - thanks Iacas for encouraging(?!) me to see the error of my ways

Been trawling the S&T threads here and elsewhere and am interested enough to hear it from the guru's mouths. I have a feeling it's codifying some stuff I took for granted and I'm hopeful there'll be a lot more that's useful. I think I have more issue with some of the classical instructors given what it's apparent what a lot of people are encouraged to do and I can hardly comment properly on something without trying it first now can I? Should be an interesting Winter.

Glad to hear it. Worst case, you'll gain some actual knowledge of a new type of swing, and even if you like only one or a few pieces, it may help.

BTW, some people who had ordered it on Barnes and Noble's website (bn.com) have reported actually getting their copies already. D'oh. I'll be waiting another 8 days for my Kindle version to be available. I pre-ordered.

Aha .... running a forum should have a few associated perks and priviliges. This would be one.
