Learning the Stack and Tilt Golf Swing
One of the hottest new swing developments that many beginners have probably been hearing a lot about
recently is a new golf swing called the Stack and Tilt Golf Swing. In this educational golf article we’ll look at exactly what this golf swing is comprised of, check out a video that describes the stack & tilt golf swing in more detail, and see whether this swing could help you improve your game.
Let’s begin by watching a short video in which professional golfer Nick Taylor – user of this revolutionary new swing – discusses how the Stack and Tilt Golf Swing differs from the conventional swing embraced by most professional golfers.

FACT: Many Accepted Golf Swing Fundamentals are WRONG
The swing and the ability to repeat the swing (i.e. bring the golf club back to the same location again and again) is the most important aspect for anyone trying to develop a better golf swing.
Previously, it was thought that the grip, posture, ball position, and alignment had to be just right in order to execute a great golf swing, but the inventors of the Stack and Tilt Golf Method observed that when professional golfers addressed the ball many of them had different grips, varying alignments, and different ball positions within their stance – and yet each of these players was very successful.
Clearly these ‘fundamentals’ were not the key to a good golf swing. One of the premises that I have always adhered to throughout this website is that as long as a golfer can make solid consistent contact with the ball, the nuances of how this is achieved are not that important and the developers of the stack & tilt golf swing seem to agree.
What IS the Stack and Tilt Golf Swing
The Stack & Tilt Golf Swing is an easy-to-learn golf swing that gives beginning golfers the advantage of having a swing that is powerful (i.e. long), effective and consistently repeatable. The fundamentals of this method are twofold, as described in the above video.
The shoulder-turn and inclination of the spine are the keys to executing this revolutionary swing. The ‘stacked‘ part of the swing relates to a golfer’s shoulders staying stacked – or directly above – his or her hips. But, surprisingly, to maintain this position of power the golfer must ‘tilt‘ the spine in one direction during the backswing and then tilt his spine in the opposite direction during the downswing.
So the term Stack & Tilt comes from the ‘tilting‘ of the spine angle that must be done in order to achieve a powerful golf swing throughout which the shoulders remain ‘stacked‘ above the hips.

Brought to you by Medicus Golf – the leader in golf training aids and educational tools, you will learn exactly how to perform the Stack & Tilt Golf Swing through a series of 3 DVDs. In these DVDs you will learn how Stack & Tilt keeps your weight stacked over the ball during your back swing for maximum power and distance; and how your weight moves forward so that your swing bottoms out in front of the ball for pure contact shot after shot.

Hi, I am a 51 yr. old beginner,small frame , 140lbs soaking wet.I’ve been hitting golf balls for about 3 years now and this past year i got real serious about getting better. I go to the local school field and hit golf balls for about 3 hours each Sat.& Sunday. I know this is not a lot of practice but I try. I am improving though, i got rid of my slice but i know there is something missing. I know i need a better impact position (I purchased the tour striker pro 7 iron) because i just dont have the distance. Sadly to say I had to put the striker away because i was getting to frustrated. I hit maybe 20 nice THWACKS with a nice penetrating ball flight but that was out of maybe 5000 swings.LIke I said i’m 51 and i dont know if it would be a good idea for me to switch to a totally different swing. (Stack&Tilt). Any suggestions? I stumbled upon your website recently and cant wait till after work to see if you guys posted any tips every day. Appreciate all the tips and vids. Thank you-kevin
Hi Kevin,
I’m sorry it took me so long to get back to you! The Stack & Tilt swing is definitely a good idea for someone who has been having the difficulties that you are describing above. It’s also good for golfers who are of a smaller stature (as you described yourself). You could also try some of the newer, low Center-of-Gravity (CG) irons with the open back cavity. I find these clubs almost effortless to swing.
