@jpness - The Hogan stance model you are referring to is not a component of Stack and Tilt. However, this does not preclude you from giving it a try in the process of figuring out what works best for YOU. Just know that Hogan's teaching of setting the trail foot perpendicular to the target line is not advocated here for specific reasons, so regardless of whether or not you decide to open and/or close your stance, be sure to set up with both feet flared outwards as prescribed.

@Tom Saguto My open stance experiment has ended with an admission that your system is best. I still occasionally drop kick the ball but in my case it has more to do with body sway than kicking out the trail leg. I can't remember in which section I saw your instruction but your statement to keep BOTH eyes on the ball results in a more stable head, less sway and consequently crispier contact. You are also right in that this is FUN. I can't thank you enough.

@jpness Even the best in the world tinker and tweak, so there's absolutely nothing wrong with experimentation as long as we don't take it so far as to create an unrecoverable mess out of something that wasn't really broke to begin with. The constant pursuit of improvement is part of the FUN of it all and one of the many things that makes this game so great!

@jpness - Steve Elkington actually played PGA Tour events like that when he was first learning S&T! No issue with that at all until it becomes second nature to you.
