Hi Tom,
I was reviewing some of your driver videos and I think that there "might" be some inconsistencies in your videos on ball positions on Youtube and from your Online Lessons.
Specifically, I am looking at this Youtube video:
In this video, while the ball is 1 club head from your left heel, it looks quite behind compared to the below videos.
In the Online Lesson video, the ball position is right off of your left heel.
Not sure if you can dispel any discrepancy (if there is any?), but I believe you mentioned that the ball position for any swing should be the same for every club:
Please kindly help a newbie out....I am beginning to hit my irons better, but driver continues to be the BANE OF MY EXISTENCE!!!
Best,
Eugene
Fantastic analysis of a great swing, @GolfLivesMatter!
As I've often said - whether it be in regard to comments pertaining to Hogan, Woods, Fleetwood, Rahm, Rory, Insert Favorite Tour Player Here: __________ - Stack and Tilt is a model of the golf swing based on data from the best golf ball strikers. For this reason, someone can be embracing key Stack and Tilt elements without being aware of it. This is because there are basic requirements that must be met to hit a golf ball consistently on the center of the clubface. There are also components necessary to add power to the golf swing without sacrificing accuracy. Stack and Tilt determined, based on a study of the best golfers of all time, that they all had 3 things in common (the 3 main golf fundamentals):
1. Hit the ground in the same spot every time (i.e.: exemplary low point control for consistently crispy contact)
2. Have enough power to play the golf course well (POWER)
3. Be able to have a predictable curve (accuracy).
A player MUST be able to do those three things to be good at golf, and S&T provides a system for accomplishing these fundamentals incredibly well! So, as far as tour players using 100% of it, 99% of it, 97% of it, or 78% of it, it doesn't really matter because they're ALL doing it to some extent. Those 3 fundamentals never change!
Thanks for this excellent contribution!
