The Stack and Tilt Golf Swing and the IronSolid

Since there is 3 inches of snow on the ground and the tempature is hovering around 20 degrees, being locked up in the house since I am completely tired of cold weather at my age, the only thoughts running through my head are what do I do in this situation to improve my golf game.  More research, more validation.  I started researching the Stack and Tilt golf swing method.  Wow!  there is something very interesting in the funadmental that they measure for an effective golf swing.


From the book Stack and Tilt by Andy Plummer and Mike Bennett:


This information led to a complete re-evaluation of the golf swing during which Mike and Andy threw out every convention and, essentially, started from scratch. They watched video and examined images of good and bad players. They discarded conventional "fundamentals" like the grip or "alignment" in favor of new fundamentals like "striking the ground after the golf ball," something the average player doesn't do with any consistency at all but which the best players do incredibly well.


Could it be that in designing the IronSolid training device (which has a US Design Patent) that what I was doing was developing a device that promoted the Stack and Tilt golf swing without even knowing it?  After all the research and videos I have watched this week, my answer is YES!  OK, here is what is really amazing, the Stack and Tilt authors, PGA teaching professionals Andy Plumer and Mike Bennett, reference Ben Hogan many times and show an amazing series of photos that back up their golf swing observations and teaching philosophy.


Striking the ground after the ball on a consistent basis is what all the top professionals do incredibly well, this is exactly what the IronSolid promotes.




Make note in the above shot video the consistent divot pattern in front of the golf ball as this player works on his iron game using the IronSolid.


The IronSolid training device will have you making solid consistent contact in a few practice sessions. Hit it Solid! www.ironsolid.com
