The hottest swing currently on the PGA tour is known as the stack and tilt golf swing. Currently there is well over 20 pros using the stack and tilt swing for the simple fact that it works; and it works well. The stack and tilt swing produces a crisper swing which results in longer and more consistent drives on the course.

The concept of this golf swing is that 60% your weight to start with is on your lead foot and increases to 80% of your weight on the lead foot during the transitional stage of your golf swing. While going against all the physics and biomechanics of a traditional golf swing, the stack and tilt maintains the weight on the lead foot throughout the entire swing. 

  

When dealing with the conventional golf swing, your goal is to shift your weight to your back foot and then return it to your lead foot at almost the same moment as the actual impact with the ball. This can be a very difficult task even for pros as it is a daunting weight balancing act between feet all the while you are aiming and swing the golf club.

Starting off with 55% of your weight on your lead foot and keeping your spine in a vertical alignment with the ball, then running your lead arm against your chest, bring the club back for the back swing. By the time you reach the transition stage your weight should be 60% to 70% on your lead foot with your spine still aligned over the ball. The downswing should be the exact opposite just as if you are a swing that is coiling up and then unwinding. 

  

The most important concept of the stack and tilt golf swing is to maintain your weight on the lead foot and keeping your spine aligned vertically with the ball. It may take some getting use to not shifting your weight, but with practice you will see a great improvement in the power of your shot as well as its aim. Once you have the stack and tilt golf swing down, you will be amazing all of your friends and colleagues by your professional style golf swing and of course beating them in round after round making them want to ask you for the secrets to the stack and tilt golf swing.
