Profusely illustrated with color photographs, black-and-white photographs and charts, "A step-by-step guide to the new golf swing that has taken the PGA Tour by storm. The traditional golf swing demands a level of coordination that few golfers have - it requires the body to turn over a right axis going back, turn over a left axis going through, and have perfect timing at impact. So it's no surprise that, despite huge advances in club and ball technology, the average golf handicap in America has dropped by only one stroke since 1990. Maverick golf instructors Michael Bennett and Andy Plummer have spent a decade researching the swing, eventually combining physiology and physics to create a method they dubbed the "Stack and Tilt" - a revolutionary golf swing that keeps your body centered and your weight stacked over the ball for pure contact shot after shot. The result? Big-name pros like Mike Weir, Mommy Armour III, and Aaron Baddeley are already converts, and Bennett and Plummer are now two of the most sought-after swing coaches in the game. Making these breakthroughs available to everyone, The Stack and Tilt Swing is a fully illustrated complete course, packed with more than two hundred full-color photographs that make it easy for golfers at all levels to adopt this radical yet simple approach. Analyzing why the traditional swing won't work for most golfers, the authors explain the importance of keeping the upper body stacked over the lower body, while the spine tilts toward the target during the back-swing, greatly reducing the inconsistencies created by the old-fashioned approach. Enhanced with practice routines, a troubleshooting list, test cases, and point-by-point assistance, this is the breakthrough guide to golf's hot new secret weapon." - from the inner front jacket flap. "Forty years ago, Bob Toski was a revolutionary teacher who changed the way golf was taught; twenty years later, David Leadbetter did the same. Now we have Andy and Mike, and I'd put them in the same conversation." - Dr. Bob Rotella. "I'm very analytical, so before I ever practiced with Mike and Andy we sat down and talked about the golf swing for hours. They told me how you have to stay centered and how the hands have to move in on the backswing, and here's why. It made sense to me. I thought, why wouldn't I swing this way?" - Aaron Braddeley. "[At the 2006 Texas Open] I won my first tour event. If I didn't know it already, I knew it then: Stack and Tilt was the answer for me." - Eric Axley. "With [Andy and Mike's] help I was able to see light at the end of the tunnel. Two weeks after first working with Andy and Mike I had my best finish of the year, and over the next ten events I continually improved my ball-striking." - Dan WIlson. "There's no doubt that when you stay forward and swing the club on an arc, the ball flight is more consistent, more predictable. When you play golf shifting your weight around, how well you play depends a lot on your timing. The swing [Mike and Andy] teach is simply more efficient." - Tommy Armour III.
