Could please talk about the importance and how to practice Stack & Tilt positions P7 through P10? Are positions P7 through P10 as important to the swing process as say making a completely tilt covering the ball?
Thank You and yes, that almost answers my question about the follow-through positions. I'm zeroing in on the feels you teach and have noticed that I'm not completing the follow-through swing. I guess with the short irons it is not that important or necessary. But with the longer irons and woods, it is very important, sorry I say finishing to the P10 position.☺ If it is a big YES then I will practice and make sure it's a complete function of my swing.
I realize there are many full swing variations. I asked about the middle-of-the-road tee shot and approach shot.
@tarheeldave - This is also somewhat a function of what you consider to be "completing the follow-through", because in comparison to those who are accustomed to the full finish position of a "shift & lift" swing where the club is whacking you in the back, the S&T follow-through is going to look and feel far more abbreviated. Have a look at the attached photos of S&T founders Bennet & Plummer. That's it - your "P10" in all its glory!
I do my best purposely avoid going into positional detail in my instruction in order to remain consistent with my "simplified" theme. I'm all about building in the "feels" that enable us to execute the swing as a complete motion, and in doing so we then lock down those P's without mechanical thought or contrived action - swing killers in and of themselves.
Anyway, assuming the golfer has nailed the foundational elements in Chapter 1, Chapter 2 of the Golf Swing Simplified course will arm him/her with everything they need to hit the positions as they train and ingrain the various components sequentially (weight forward, shoulder down, arms straight, hands in, tilt/turn/extend, etc.). In doing so, short of any breakdown the golfer will arrive at a solid impact position (P7) and continue through to the proper finish (P10). And if something goes awry somewhere in the motion, well then we have specific lessons and drills right here in the school to address and correct those as well.
Thanks for the P10 photos, I now see the light! 😎

Hi Dave,

I hope this appropriately answers your question!
