Product Description
The Definitive Guide to the Swing That Is Remaking Golf. By Michael Bennett & Andy Plummer, with Peter Morrice.Traditionally the golf swing requires coordination that few golfers have. Maverick Golf Instructors Michael Bennett & Andy Plummer spent a decade researching the swing and noted that few golfers have been able to lower their handicap by more than a stroke. Here with a combination of physiology and physics they have created a method called the Stack and Tilt". The result? A breakthrough method that big name professionals such as Mike Weir, Tommy Armour III and Aaron Baddeley have converted to; now accessible by everyone. Includes full-color photos, practice routines, test cases and point-by-point assistance.

 Most Beneficial Golf Book since "Five Lessons"? Perhaps! November 21, 2009
Erik J. Barzeski (Erie, PA USA)

I've played to a low single digit handicap for years, and though I enjoyed the process of working on my own swing, I'd go through lengthy periods of time when I was searching for the key to my swing. Invariably, I'd find something, play well for a few rounds, and then enter another lull.
This year I decided to work with a Stack and Tilt instructor. Like many, I misunderstood a lot of the principles and had a lot of misconceptions about the swing, but with 20 or so PGA Tour players taking to it, I reconsidered. I'm glad I did - this year has been one of the most productive in my golf career. Not only do I know how to swing, I know how to fix it when things go awry.
Stack and Tilt is a fairly simple method of playing good golf, but nobody can do it alone. If you can't find an instructor nearby, this book does a great job as a stand-in (and if you can find an instructor, this book is a great reminder between lessons). The book's photos wonderfully illustrate the concepts and the instructions are simple, clear, and concise. Not only are the positions and ideas explained thoroughly, but PGA Tour pros contribute their "feelings" and "sensations" to help players who are helping themselves.
The book is more than a "here is how to swing the club" guide as well. The last third of the book is invaluable to golfers as it contains drills, common faults and their fixes, and much more. This book does more to actually help the golfer in 240 or so pages than most golf instructional books do in 400. It's not much of a stretch to call this potentially the most beneficial golf instruction book since Hogan's "Five Lessons."
Even if you're not a fan of the Stack and Tilt swing, I encourage you to pick up this book. Read the first chapter - I think you may change your mind. Implement some of the principles of the swing and, when you start beating your buddies, the book will pay for itself in no time. :-)
Will be one of the classics November 13, 2009

Portions of this book equal or exceed anything ever written in terms of golf instruction. The way the book is put together with comments from golfers, the instructors and the photos far exceeds my expectation. Should be in every golf library. Will be one of the classics in the test of time. How can I get my copy signed?
A great learning tool November 18, 2009

The book is all you could ever expect from a well-balanced set of golf lessons. Much better than the DVDs themselves. I recommend it to anyone looking for the definitive guide on the Stack and Tilt Golf Swing. If you can't learn the swing from this book, you can't learn it from anyone.
Awesome content, poorly written December 11, 2009

I preordered this book before it was released because I've heard so much about Stack and Tilt. When it came, I was excited. The ideas are great and incorporating parts of it into my swing has already made a major difference in by accuracy and distance. I'm looking forward to getting the entire swing down. Now - if I could just learn to put.
One criticism of the book is that it is poorly written. It's often hard to understand and the pictures they use don't always coordinate with the text. You really have to read the book twice to understand the nuances of the swing. I think that if the authors were to hire a professional writer and graphics person it would make a world of difference in their next version or next book. I found myself, throughout the book, reading paragraphs over and over to try to understand what they are saying.
Having said that, I still highly recommend the book to any golfer. Their entire swing makes sense. Why shift your weight and try to coordinate that body movement with striking the ball as has been taught by everyone else? It's too hard to time and that's not where the power comes from anyway, so why do it. It's a very interesting book and I can now understand why a lot of the pros are switching to it. It's a great feeling to connect with the ball correctly, feel it, hear it and watch it fly where you want it to go.
The best thing you can do to your golf swing November 18, 2009

I had pre-ordered this book from amazon.com. Great idea to publish a book. These guys need to be put at the same level as Ben Hogan or above. They are the only ones that can make a difference in all golfers. Nothing else works out there I have tried them all. Even 3 years of lessons, every week did not get me to where I am now. Stack and tilt is the swing of the future and this book sets in stone. I switched to the S&T swing 3 months ago when I purchased the DVDs. The best thing I ever did. You just have to be patient and stick to the basics if you run into any problems. Otherwise, its the quickest and easiest way to become a great golfer.
