- Nick Taylor authorised Stack and Tilt and GOLFTEC instructor discusses the most important and misunderstood 2 words of the Stack and Tilt golf swing.
In writing the Stack and Tilt book, Andy Plummer and Mike Bennett came up with 10 words to describe the Stack and Tilt swing. The first 2 words are Weight Forward which describe how the golfer should set up to the golf ball. This is very different to how the conventional golf swing is taught and is often misunderstood.
In this video Nick explains the weight forward differences with the irons and driver and shares a drill to help you play better golf.

After three bad rounds in a row, with poor contact, I started watching theses stack and tilt videos. I went to my club yesterday and decided to commit to this. Hit some balls on the range, and then went out and played. I haven’t hit the ball that well in years. I am a believer. There is an adjustment, but not as big as I thought it would be.
That’s awesome news Joe, I love it - keep it up 💪
Same for me. Total difference in contact. Didn’t lose any distance, but gained in consistency and compression.
Me too
Hit range first
Have never been so consistent
7 handi
On way to scratch baby
Fantastic concept. Can't wait to try this. Thanks.
Great discussion of the finer points of weight forward. Thanks so much.
Best Golf Channel on RUclips. Thank You Nick.
Thankyou 🙏
Love it! Finally I can see light at the end of tunnel
Thats awesome Simon
Thank you this is just what I have learnt in my recent lesson - and it works
Awesome Robert thats great - thanks for watching
Ah thank you i was wondering why i wasn't consistent. In my back swing I at time didn't maintain the forward stance. I would bring it back with me but the times i hit the ball solid i notice now that i was maintaining the forward stack. Nice thank you. I have been recording myself after u watch your videos and catching my mistakes . Wow after lessons and buckets at the range this has been the best way for me so thank you
Nice work Tone, keep it up 💪
Well explained. And very important. Thank you
Thanks for watching Stephen
Great tips. Thank you Nick.
Thanks for watching Kim
I like the idea of a slight forward bump of the hips & I've thought of using that as a trigger to start my swing.
Yes thats a good trigger
Great video and I like the slow motion plus the the stopping at the key positions.
Thanks for watching Terry, im glad it helps
Nice explanation of the difference in the driver tilt vs: the irons Can now see and visualize the lowering of the right shoulder which I've needed. Thanks-Russ
Thanks for watching Russ
Very good, Nick!
Thanks again Martin
Working on it right now with surprisingly good results. The feeling I have is from my left thigh muscle straightening and the club head following whilst the handle is much further toward target than I have ever been able to get it in my life. Club head and hands are now in line at impact and with some more practice I’m sure I can get a few degrees of delisting over the next few days 😊
Still a work in progress but when I do it right it works great. Thanks for the continued tips
Your welcome
Thank you nicely explained 👍🏻
Thanks for watching Laurence
Excellent explanation of weight distribution.
Thanks for watching Jim
excellent lesson! thx
Thanks for watching Frank
Great explanation, Nick! I have a tendency to overdo the weight too far forward.
Thanks Greg, easy to overdo
great video
Great content and possibly the best beard in golf instruction.
Haha thankyou Justin 🙏
@Chaz Carrington it’s a very close fight but I think Nick edges him with his hairdo 💇♂️
Hi Nick ..great explanation of the basics of S & T ..one question tho where are you actually focusing at adress -at the ball or at the low point opposite the left heel ? Thanks.
My irons are working much better using the S&T, when I can get the movement right, the driver is all over the map, will continue to work on this, and your setup explanation should help, cheers
Good luck
This is such an awesome video. Shared with my golf friends that are just beginning and they are thanking me . So thank you again. Quick question with the driver. Maybe I miss understood. Do you shift the weight forward like the irons and afterwards your waist a little forward as well or only the waist forward. That is my question. I seem to hit the ball way to high in the air still average 225 245 but pops up way to high. Thank you again.
Great visual with a camera, Nick👍
Thanks Dave
I have watched this probably 10 times in the last two days! I love this!
Haha thanks for watching Joe
I watched this a few times and did a dry practise in front of my TV to ingrain the moves into my muscle memory b4 I tried it up at the range later. Many thanks to Nick for the excellent video!
Wow, another excellent video Nick. Thanks We've discussed weight forward, whole body or just slight hip bump. Switched to a slight hip bump and focused on keeping the eyes over the center of the ball. Striking much more solid on a more regular basis. However, I never leave a divot after the ball even on a 150-170 yard shot. I'm working to figure it out because I know I could compress it more and gain distance. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching Tom as always
Many thank for your valuable video.
So, the answer of the question "Why you need to put the weight FW in swing?", is "To make an easier downward attack angle at impact (with irons) compared to conventional weight transferred swing's stlye, right?
Yes the idea is to help control the low point more consistently in front of the golf ball
Excellent 😎😎👌
Thanks Chad
@@NickTaylorGolf I really enjoy your instructions. I have embraced the stack and tilt system. A excellent point in your video was moving the stacked belt buckle forward one inch. This is a great point that should be emphasized. Thanks and keep up the great work.
Chad,
Texas Strong😎
Thanks for watching Chad
Thnks Nick EXCELLENT so clear so easy to understand now I'm trying to do 100% of the time...practice practice
Thanks for watching Phillip
Thanks that is great, this question is about the takeaway do you look at a ball or your clubhead let's say the first 2 feet?
I focus on left shoulder moving down and looking at the golf ball
@@NickTaylorGolf Thank you.
Hi nick. Subscribed, and bell activated! Thank-you for a fantastic enlightenment. My right hip accès from trying to bu p forward! I like your numbers for face to path and target. I m'appelle out my garage floor and à piece of carpet to try and achieve 4 degrees face to target, and an additional 4 degrees for club path. I am thinking my stance should be 8 degrees open as well. For the dreaded driver ? What say you ?
Thanks for watching, you should be able to achieve these numbers aiming straight - using the grid with the ball behind the left shoulder
For a right hander should the weight be spread across the left foot or more on the heel?
Hi Nick. In the S&T book under the Power Package (pge 90) there are 3 ways to maximse the club speed; you cover 2 but the third is the "braking of your shoulders and hands before impact" in order to crack the whip. How is this done as i have not seen any material on this point. Could make a good vid.
Yes good idea Phillip, I would say every good player does this but a hard one to control as happens so quickly
Nick, I’m a recent subscriber and have been following you for awhile. What are your thoughts on S&T for the senior golfer? I’m 76 and have played the game for 65 years, but my body just can’t do what it used to do. Is S&T a viable option for us old guys? I’m a little concerned about stress on the left knee, but I have hit some really good shots while playing around with this swing. What do you think, is S&T a good fit for seniors?
Yes 100%
When you’re pushing your hips forward on the downswing, are you simultaneously “opening”the hips or is it push then open? For instance, when working on that drill with the noodle, should I think of touching the noodle with the side of my left hip, front of left hip/thigh, or right thigh?Thanks, Nick!
More of a push but the hips should open too, the feel is to bump the noodle with the left hip. Most golfers turn enough but not enough slide or shift forward with the hips in the downswing
How do you set up the grid you use and is the ball position in the center of your stance it looks like it from the camera angle.
Thank I enjoy the videos really trying to learn the system
The grid lines are roughly 20 degree angles and ball position 'for me' is around a club head inside the left heel so with my stance width its slightly closer to the front foot with a 7 iron
Nick, correct me if I am wrong. The objective of placing weight at the front foot is to aid in compressing the ball more effective, isn’t it?
What is then the objective for doing the same for the driver shot? To help to spring from the leading leg upward?
The hip bump forward will help create more tilt with the shoulders which is key for the driver
Have been a stack and tilt swinger for 20 years now, biggest issue is weight getting too far forward and reducing the height of shots with everything from 9 up. How do I increase loft with a s and T swing??
Hey Nick, loving S&T, I keep weight forward and on downswing I keep moving forward and really compressing the ball, literally smashing the ball.... but it seems like i keep moving forward like I'm walking away after I hit the ball lol. As I said hitting clean. How do I stop moving forward so much, I'm the opposite, going really forward. Hey should I just keep playing that way or try to finish standing still. Thanks
Great to hear Frankie, I would suggest working on the shoulder bend extension in the finish. Check out this video: ruclips.net/video/9Rr3kwMVRs0/видео.html
@@NickTaylorGolf thanks Nick I will give that a go. Keep up the great videos
If I sway too much forward in the downswing and get my entire body ahead of the ball at impact, should I simply think turn my left hip out of the way to start the downswing? Thanks!
The hips should turn and sway in the downswing but head stay in position until after impact
Hi Nick
When you demonstrate with the eight iron it appears that that you don’t complete the back swing. It looks like a half or three quarter swing. Please advise. Thank you.
Jerry
My swing gets longer with the longer clubs for sure but i feel i have more control with a shorter swing
What I don’t understand is if you are already forward, how do you then go forward? I picture a flamingo standing on one leg. Nobody ever address this weight shift dilemma. Hope you can.
As far as i know, its 60 at setup left -60 top -100 finish weight forward.
Only 55% forward at setup, both legs are still on the ground, backswing 60% left, impact 85% and finish 95%
@@maxgerade Yes thanks Max
The biggest problem I see with most golf instruction is they always tell you to get your weight to the left, which is correct, but it needs to be gradually. If move your weight left too quickly it will cause pulls for the better player and slices for the higher hcp. When you have no more weight to move left the club will start closing and moving left so if you having problem with pulls make the weight transfer gradually and smoothly. This will help with whatever golf swing you choose including the stack n tilt.
Yes some golfers move too much weight left for sure, but generally its the opposite in my experience
I love this but you say your stacked ?
Your head is slightly behind the ball and your hips are forward ( towards the target )
I’ve found leaving my head behind the ball is key 🔑 to getting amazing contact , head behind hips , weight slightly forward , can you enlighten us 🙏
Impact yes with the hip sway but stacked setup and backswing
Do you have an email where I could reach you to discuss possible online lesson? Please and thanks.
Love your S & T teachings
Hi Daniel, I use Skillest app for online lessons
So I am little confused. I watch Rob Cheney as well. I thought at setup, you only moved you hips slightly toward the target which gave you shoulder tilt without moving low point behind ball. Your head and center of sternum would stay more centered over the ball. Did I misunderstand or is this a variation?
I would say a slight variance, I like to move both centers forward at setup and the right hand lower on the club provides a slight shoulder tilt with the irons
What would causes me to not finish the follow through after I strike the ball? I seem to stop about a 1/4 to 1/2 way into the finish. This occurs both with irons and woods.
The follow through is overrated, as long as your weight is left at impact I wouldn’t worry too much
I am still having issues with ball positions . I would love the simplest way to remember this. At the range it's easier but when I'm playing a round just all goes out the window under pressure. Please what us the simplest way to remember ball positions for all my clubs lol thank you again
I use my left heel, just inside for driver, a ball inside for FW and HY, then 2 balls in for the irons
@@NickTaylorGolf You are the best man!!!! Thank You
@@NickTaylorGolf Also do you have a video for bonkers and chipping ? I have been using the stack and tilt method as well just 1/4 to 1/2 in back swing seems to work for me. Just wanted to know if you actually had a video on this.
Thanks again for everything. I have been sharing your videos with my friends and co-workers we are new to the game so thank you.
Thankyou i havent done many videos on short game but this is the most recent one ruclips.net/video/t5M3GQpdMJk/видео.html
I have been working on stack and tilt for about a year and a half now. It appeals to me because it is very systematic and based on geometry and physics. However, I know I am still not executing correctly. I do not move my weight forward during the downswing correctly. At 6’ 2” and 250 pounds, I struggle to hit driver 225 and that’s just not right. I like your data based approach to stack and tilt.
What is the stack and tilt?
I just saw the straighten upper body and head like Tiger Woods after 2017.
When I'm in my set up and push my hip forward the club face opens is that normal?
So you must be leaning the shaft forward for this to happen? You need to keep an eye on the clubface as should only be slightly open to target at setup so you may need to adjust it
Same set up for every club? Even driver?
It looks like with weight forward you get a very short backswing or in a short swing like you have to be very flexible to complete the backswing. With a shorter backswing you have to be very strong. to develop clubhead speed like. you and
Jon Rahn. You look very strong. I wonder how a less fit golfer can make this work.?
sliding causes into out path, umm is that correct Nick?
Yes and turning moves the hand path outside
Good for wknd hacks
Good for everyone
Interesting and great content, but i have a question, can not all of you ST instructors on youtube have a meeting so you not confuse the viewers? I saw Cogomo also having videos now with Saguto etc. Saguto say roll in your right foot and not finish with the right foot/heel up. But i see you finish like that. Confusing..
The right foot should roll yes and eventually finish in the inside of the big toe. The majority of golfers spin out with the right foot causing weight back, too much rotation moving the path outside to in. The feeling of banking or rolling helps them get into the position im in
No great player has ever done this. Please watch Nicklaus , Tiger, Hogan, Snead, Trevino, Player, Watson and every good ball striker snd you will see a obvious shift of the weight back and through the swing. Try throwing a ball, hitting a baseball, serving a tennis ball, serving a volleyball, throwing boxing punch and any other athletic move. The weight transfer is the master fundamental . Ignore the the occasional improvement by players who say this helped. It's likely they had some fundamental flaw in their action that this outlier concept temporary helped. I actually thought this nonconforming teaching had gone the way of dinosaurs.
Is it hot there in Singapore Nick?? You seem a touch out of breath.
It's always hot John, but had a cold this week and only just getting over it - you can hear it in my voice
You aren't getting your weight over to your right side, instead you are rotating around your left knee, and flipping your hands. What would be the reason to teach a reverse pivot?
It’s NOT a reverse pivot, you pivot on the left with the weight moving forward in the downswing - not backwards = more consistent ball striking
▪
great reminder Nick and looks like you off the cheeseburger diet?
Not completely Steve, been so busy not had much chance to work out 💪
this is BS.....weight should be on inside of his right foot at address. You can't load up if you are leaning forward.
You're not swinging
