Since converting to Stack & Tilt my ball flight is generally straight but very low. As a result, with the exception of the driver, my distance has decreased.
I have tried moving the ball position with no appreciable change
I put more weight on the forward leg (90%)and that helped along with moving the ball forward on driver only, one of his video lessons makes mention of this. Initially I had the ball as instructed one club head width from heel but for the driver it was difficult to get the ball to fly higher?
What helped me was taking a half swing then 3/4 in the beginning and just getting that muscle memory to act accordingly, making sure that I bump my hips toward the target and not roll my hands it takes practice if you've been programmed for years doing it the traditional swing.
I lost distance initially, but I have gained it back and then some, if I do the correct shoulder turn and repeat it with the downswing I generate more speed, also keeping the arm against my chest on the back swing and do the opposite after striking the ball, just a reverse of the back swing.
Thank you for your thought filled & detailed answer
After posting my concern I decided to take the Jack Nicklaus approach & start from the very beginning. I found that my hands were to far forward at address. As I came into impact the club face was very delofted. So I was hitting punch shots with every club. I have only had time to hit a few with the correct hand position at address. The results were amazing! I did start with 1/2 then 3/4 swings. Now the club face is square to & facing my intended target at impact instead of facing the ground. I am scheduled to play again this coming Tuesday. Looking forward to an exciting day of golf
@golf3038 Nicely done!! Ultimately, as @Lucio Acosta mentions, you will not lose distance with this swing and should actually gain yards once you are properly executing it. It really is a powerful move - effortlessly powerful!
As I regularly tell folks, it is critical to take sufficient time to ensure that we master the fundamental components of the first couple of chapters! I cannot overemphasize this enough, as frustrations predominantly occur when students jump ahead in the curriculum without properly dedicating themselves to the foundational base upon which our consistently repeatable, powerful, low maintenance swing must be built.
