![]() ![]() The lumbar facet joints really only allow extension and flexion (very limited lateral) therefore doing the above pelvic slide to any excessive degree is an unnatural movement for inflexible golfers. The thoracic facet joints are like shingles on a roof and allow limited lateral side flexion (but more than lumbar), extension and flexion, but very limited rotation. The cervical facet joints allow lots of rotation If you check this short 3 min video below, you can see the 3 types of facet joints in the cervical/thoracic/lumbar regions of the spine and get a good idea of how they can limit movement. If you look at the image below, the pelvic slide means that one is attempting 'right side flexion' in the lumbar joint area of the spine.īut note that the lumbar spine facet joints are not designed for side to side flexion which is why I said you need that type of flexibility to reduce any excessive stress in those joint areas. I think SnT is probably okay for people with flexible spines. So I find it interesting that some treat S&T as being some sort of golf swing voodoo.sorcery. I look nearly identical to Tiger in terms of how I look at the top of my backswing (ref article below). ![]() To that extent, I have no doubt that I likely moved off the ball too much to the right (to get "more power") which is why S&T feels like I'm tilted to the left at the top. During mirror work, it's quite astonishing to see I am simply stacked over the ball at the top, not tilted to the left, but I FEEL tilted to the left because I'm used to decades of moving off the ball to the right on the backswing. The major difference is feeling tilted towards the target at the top of my swing, and not caring if my right leg straightens because I actually get more rotation, hence power. devolving 210-220 yards with my old swing. ![]() I can use any club but my 8-9 iron are now the most used clubs for approach shots on the course because now my drives are in the 250-265 range vs. I do the drills by progressing from 1/2 swing, 50-yard shots, up to full swings using an 8 or 9 iron. My primary drill is the one provided by Rob Cheney below. upright.and my belt buckle, on good swings ends up closest to the target post-impact. The backswing plane is more like Sergio's, or somewhat flatter vs. That move helps me become stacked over the ball at the top with a straight right leg. the easy potential to slightly flatten the shoulders in the traditional backswing with a steeper plane to get the club "over the shoulder at the top". Weight more on my left side with a more rotational backswing, meaning my left shoulder rotates "straight down" on the takeaway vs. Let the buzz continue.Click to expand.I don't have before and after videos.I deleted all my old swing videos because that swing was no longer being pursued. Then we give some of the game's top teachers a chance to challenge the swing's validity, with Plummer and Bennett responding. Here they review the swing's major pieces and explain the moves you told us you need help with. Many of you reported dramatic improvement after trying their Stack & Tilt Swing others are simply intrigued by its complete assault on traditional instruction.We've received hundreds of questions about how to use the swing correctly, so we've asked Plummer and Bennett to provide another series of lessons. EDITOR'S NOTE: Reader response to "The New Tour Swing" by teachers Andy Plummer and Mike Bennett (June 2007) rivals that of any instruction article Golf Digest has published. ![]()
