It all started with A LOT of your videos, A LOT. They were easy and made sense. I’ve then taken pieces of my favorite online coaches teachings like you, Eric and Gankas and built my swing.

      I feel like I want to do this but my coach and other coaches like Larry Cheung recommend 80% weight on the trail leg then shift the weight forward right before the downswing starts. I feel like it’s possible to rotate and stay over the ball with no sway with the weight in the trail leg. Doesn’t this method cause a loss in pressure caused from the shift of proper sequence? .... not sure... do you teach this method?

    • @555Trout
      @555Trout 3 года назад +3

      @@kevinarbogast9309 Hi Kevin. This is such a complex subject. It's hard to know where to begin.
      I think the style Tom is teaching here certainly has a place. For occasional players, less athletic, physically compromised, etc.
      Good teachers, and I'm certain Eric would agree, don't just teach one method or style. So yes, this approach is definitely in the mix.
      I'm gonna throw a concept out here because by what you said I think you might benefit.
      I distinguish between "pressure shift" and "weight shift". And often I find developing golfers don't do this.
      Wt. shift is when mass above your feet moves positioning it in different places above the feet, and pressure shift is when you de-weight a leg momentarily so pressure moves dramatically to one foot but no mass moved above .
      So if you were standing in place alternating knee flexing pressure would be momentarily moving to each foot at 100pct to 0pct, yet no mass would be moving above.
      As opposed to moving upper mass from over one foot to the other.
      Ok, hope you got that.
      Imo, there is very little "wt shift" in a great golf swing but immense "pressure shifting ".
      So, what Tom is teaching here does not and should not eliminate pressure shifts .
      Think about that for awhile.
      Its the knees my friend.

    Eric, I really commend you for doing what you do. You're very open-minded when it comes to the golf swing, and you value the input you get from other teachers...even if their philosophy doesn't totally marry up with your own. That seems like a simply thing to do, but it's surprisingly lacking out there in the real word. This particular video is made for me, as I simply cannot (no matter how hard I try) take a divot in front of a golf ball. I'm going to give this a try!

    This is seriously brilliant. I took a lesson a few months ago, and the instructor kept telling me, "Get off the ball. You need to get off the ball." He kept advocating for this big shift away from the ball in the backswing. I kept thinking to myself, why? It just didn't make any sense to me that I was adding this additional moving part to my swing. I hit the ball worse than ever after that lesson. I need less of that nonsense and more Saguto and Cogorno in my life.

    Very impressive the way Eric accepts other methodologies. I learned S&T 3 years ago because of sciatica. Most of the time now I use it for my irons. And a hybrid swing for driver. S&T keeps your head in the circle. All good golfers tilt. Many elite golfers don’t stack. But they’re hitting hundreds of balls a day. And they still keep their head in the circle albeit with some weight shift. Many mid to high handicap golfers would benefit from stacking and tilting. You just need to have an open mind. S&T is not snake oil. Try it ...it might work for you. So many ways to skin a cat. And straighten that trail leg on the way back 🙂

      I guess it’s very good and reliable for Irons to achieve a constant contact and AoA 3-5 degrees down to compress the Ball. With Driver I guess the weight in setup is different and you need more side bend to shallow and hit up 3-5 degrees. Good Question!

    I noticed that Tom has an exaggerated weight shift to the front leg at address vs Eric. It does not look like any other golf address I have seen but trying this exaggerated position at address definitely helped me. That with visualizing the wall on the left side and head in circle have been great tips. My question relates to a trigger to start my back swing and how to bend the front knee. I found it helpful to start my back swing motion by starting to bend my front knee as the trigger which forces the shoulder movement down. Since my front leg is flared out and the weight is mostly on my front leg the knee bend also goes to the left or straight out instead of inward towards my back leg. Tom kinda is doing it like this but Eric's knee shifts a little towards the back leg on the back swing. I see the old time golfers doing this even more dramatically(Sneed). Am I seeing it right and how do you feel about triggering the back swing this way and the way I am bending the knee? Thanks

      Hey Frank!
      Yes....you are seeing that right.
      Mines goes in a bit more to help me turn my hips more.
      The lead knee NEEDS TO go down....the tilt to help keep inclination to ground.
      In CAN (doesn't have to) go in....that helps the turn
      I personally like to see the lead knee bend down and slightly in so the kneecap is right under the lead hip
      More on that here that may help:

    Not a big fan of Saguto's obsession with trying to hit like Ben Hogan. The sad part is that he actually does not really copy the Ben Hogan swing. He states that those old golfers kept their weight forward in the backswing....but that is completely wrong. He's just shortcutting what they actually did. If current pros kept their weight forward, they would never achieve the kind of yardages they achieve these days. The leverage achieved from the back foot plays a huge part in the power they achieve. I'm no fan at all of youtubers who shortcut golf swing dynamics....and then try to sell it as a good thing.

      @@CogornoGolf Definitely. Ha ha. Great tips though. Really helps with striking consistently....by keeping that weight right you don't have to rely on some big shift. I was a hip slider for the longest time and these type of drills are what really helped me feel that weight posting up on the right side. More consistent striking and added about a club of distance on my irons. Keep it coming!

    S&T is a great shortcut to a great swing...and it's hardly "new" given Hogan's swing, along with Snead's and others. Hogan advocated a weight shift to the right side, but in reality, his left knee dipped down (weight on the lead foot) and his right leg straightened. Plus, even though he had a slight shift to the right, at the same time his butt moved probably 5 inches towards the target at the top of the backswing which pre-loaded his weight to the left. S&T simply pre-positions the weight onto the left side to eliminate excess movement.
    S&T is so easy that I feel like I"m "cheating". I never had a 5-inch bacon strip divots on wedges before with boatloads of spin. Plus, I have added at least 30 yards to my driver, maybe more, and I'm hitting 8 irons 160 vs. 140-ish with my "old swing". Great job Eric to introduce Tom and also S&T which is what many of us have already discovered and never looked back. There are still guys at my club who swing with a right side weight shift. The same one's who complain they never improve, but they're good at buying new clubs to "solve the problem". LOL.

    I live in Myrtle Beach and Litchfield CC is an underrated course. Very Nice layout.
    I purchased the Stack 'n' Tilt DVDs when the system exploded in popularity, and liked much about it. Unfortunately, I'd had surgery on my lead knee 15 years prior, and shifting MORE weight onto my lead foot as the flex on the lead knee increased resulted in sharp pain in that kneel.

I played about 10 strokes better today than my normal game. My buddies started saying that I normally sway but not today. I was hitting the ball much better. I give credit to "The Wall". I want to buy the shirt! Build the wall!

  • @johnsahhar7599
    @johnsahhar7599 3 года назад +1

    Great video. I am a fan or both Eric and Tom. I know there was not time to address this, but what Tom is saying -- keep the weight forward -- fits in with some of what Eric teaches. For example, keeping the weight forward allows the hips to turn more, which in turn allows the shoulders to turn more and the arms/hands to travel further and, as Eric has talked about in the past, this allows your chest to open up, to extend, as you approach the top of the back-swing. This creates a wider arc and more club-head speed without the need to lunge or throw yourself into the ball. Thus, the weight forward can be the foundation of a rhythmic, smooth swing with tempo that looks beautiful and hits the ball a long way without looking like you are putting too much effort into it. Watch any decent pro and you will be amazed at how easy they generally swing and how far the ball goes. I think it is because of the weight shift Tom and others advocate as well as the other great things the weight forward promotes. Again, you guys are two of my favorite.

  • @Powerenhancer
    @Powerenhancer 3 года назад +1

    Eric, although I see the value of this move I can guarantee that most amateurs that attempt this will reverse pivot and end up with more weight on their right side resulting in a strike even further behind the ball. It is not that easy to start with a left loading and maintain/increase that load left through the downswing whilst maintaining balance. I feel this video needs more context to help ensure the downswing is executed correctly from that position.
