[@lifesaver3499]

BEST golf instructional video on the internet and i have seen hundreds...not to freak you out, but i noticed that your great iron shot was heel side of center which is obviously great for you. I have found that I hit my golf ball just as well toe side of center far from the hosel. Could you please do a video where you show your same great s & t iron heel side of center shot and then show us who fear the hosel how to move the shot toe side of center using your great technology & explanations.

Hello, Nick. Greetings from Singapore. Thank you for the detailed teachings as I’m a convert from the right sided swing method. Question. Does club specs, ie; weight, loft & etc have an impact on S&T swing method? Your kind response would be very much appreciated.

[@NickTaylorGolf]

Thankyou for watching, no difference in club spec needed

[@alankasjan6488]

Is there any difference in setting up between a iron shot off the ground and one on a tee? Thanks for another great video, stack and tilt has really improved my game to a level that I thought I would never achieve.

[@NickTaylorGolf]

No, I tee up very close to the ground anyway

[@tony00crouch]

[@TheACE20]

Great content! What shafts do you use in your driver and irons? Also would you say that the stack and tilt requires a stiffer tip/shaft due to the quicker action?

[@NickTaylorGolf]

Thanks I use a tour ad gp-6s black in my driver, modus 105 stiff in my irons, so no not super stiff

[@TheACE20]

@@NickTaylorGolf that’s surprising with your amount of club head speed. I’m currently considering different shaft options as I’m right between stuff and extra stuff. I guess it just comes down feel and what works best for you!

[@frankieliles3652]

how does the setup differ with irons, fairway woods, and hybrids when hitting the ball off a tee vs off the ground?

[@MattiasA72]

Great video, gave me a lot of answers. Have you done a video on the stack and tilt swing using a fairway wood? I'm inconsistent with my 5 wood, which is what I use off the tee most often. If you haven't done one, would you please? And maybe start here in the comment section with some useful tips. Do you swing the same with the FW as the Irons? What about ball position. Thanks in advance.

[@NickTaylorGolf]

Thanks Matthias that has given me an idea, I would have the ball position in between where the irons and driver are setup. I think I will do a video on it as seems this is a popular question. I would say the swing is closer to the irons as you need to hit a fraction down on the ball

[@MattiasA72]

@@NickTaylorGolf Thanks Nick, I really appreciate your response. Generally with the stack and tilt system, my scores are much more consistent. No real dips anymore. I need to make some putts and I'll be golden. I even hit some draws today! I've always been a slicer but now I'm hitting it straight or like today some draws. Was never able to draw it before. Looking forward to the video.

[@andrewcarter7503]

Have heard good things about stack and tilt and certainly even my limited attempts at putting into practice whst I've learn from you has in the last few rounds resulted in far fewer hits behind the ball - my big problem - and for me some very solid iron shots. But I'm tending to pull shots big time. 10, 15, 20 yards left. Dead straight flight, just pulled. Would love to have some lessons from a stack and tilt coach. And advice on finding one? I'm in Southampton.

[@NickTaylorGolf]

Sounds like you’re making some progress Andrew, the nearest are surrey I believe. Billy Irvine, Zane Scotland and Sam Quirke are the best

[@12poon]

Nick are you pushing off your right foot to generate power or are you pushing off the left leg

[@NickTaylorGolf]

Both Doug 🏌️‍♂️

[@mootrail9487]

I commented on driver vid; I guess what I don't see is the tilt like in the old days. Is GolfTec a stack & tilt proponent and when did that happen?

[@NickTaylorGolf]

Im a S&T instructor that works for GOLFTEC, the majority of instructors at GOLFTEC are not S&T

[@carlor.s.4742]

Have been generally hitting good drives with the S&T method, but way more inconsistent with my irons because I had the ball in the middle of my stance instead of 2 inches inside left heel. I've been using a little hip bump as a trigger for the backswing & trying not to rush my downswing as I'm prone to do. I also changed to a strong grip & its really helped with the slice. Would love it you would do a piece on chipping which I need to improve on. Somebody told me you are Canadian, are you?

[@NickTaylorGolf]

He's thinking of the PGA TOUR player Nick Taylor- I'm English

Yeah because everyone should swing the same

[@NickTaylorGolf]

Same as what?

[@MSDOGS1976]

320 yd drives. Nice. You are young, strong and with more speed than this 66 y/o body can produce. I would be happy with just solid iron strikes(driving not bad). Stack and tilt is helping with more solid iron strikes although I do hit a few fat ones here and there. But getting away from thin shots which I hate.

[@NickTaylorGolf]

Thanks Marty, I’ve worked hard on my swing. I couldn’t hit it that far when I was younger

[@davidcoale8371]

Hey Nick. Do you work for golftec? I took several lessons from them. Probably around 7 in total. In all the lessons they never discussed the setup or grip. The main things we worked on were tilt and getting deep with the hands. Seems like they should have started there first.

[@NickTaylorGolf]

It does depend on the individual David, sometimes I don't always start with the grip and setup

[@NickTaylorGolf]

Yes I work for GOLFTEC in Singapore since January 2019

[@davidcoale8371]

Thanks Nick

[@terrencedavis9929]

Nick, I am hitting the ball towards the heel of the driver. What am I missing? TIA

Swinging too much in to out would be my first guess. If so, try swinging more left in the finish

Excellent analysis!! I’m new to the channel so I’ll explore other videos...but my observation is that your driver swing seems more conventional and not really stack and tilt. Just sayin

Every move is within the body's range of motion, for example changing the knee flex to help turn the hips takes stress off the lower back. Turning your shoulders without turning the hips is the worst thing you can do for your back

[@NickTaylorGolf]

😂thanks mate

[@DASH1ful]

but, that isn't stack and tilt. it is stack and wack- which is totally correct. but, there is a way of "setting back" and still being able to be in a stacked position at the top of the backswing. Or, at least, the weight will be on the instep of the right foot at the top. if you tell someone to have their weight on their right foot at address, they lean to the right. but, that is not how you have your weight on your right foot address; and, this is crucial. not that a player should necessarily have their weight on their right foot at address. it is just that not everyone can stack the way you stack, and it may be necessary for some players to stack back. you can see hogan do that in his later years.

[@NickTaylorGolf]

You can hit great drives shifting or not shifting. I'm just trying to help the golfers that get too steep while working on S&T and to have a visual of what to look for in their swing especially with the driver

[@DASH1ful]

@@NickTaylorGolf @Nick Taylor Golf that's just it. A player can get too steep when they stack. but, with the stack back method the right side will turn when the right leg becomes active, in the start of the backswing, simply because their weight is on the right side ( this does not involve leaning the weight onto the right side at address. the right leg can't become active when a player does this.) but with stack and tilt the right side won't turn when the right leg becomes active, in the start of the backswing. the left side will have to turn to sync the swing up. the stack back method gives the swing a running start and syncs the swing up from the off. and, pressure on the ground applied with the left foot, when the angle of the right leg increases, and the momentum of the club shifts the weight towards the left side as a player approaches the top of backswing, will increase the turn.

[@NickTaylorGolf]

What do you mean by right leg becoming active?

[@DASH1ful]

@@NickTaylorGolf it's an activation of the muscles down the left side of the right leg. this increases the angle of the right leg in the backswing. the right knee is tucked in address; and the angle of the lower part of the right leg then extends into the upper part of the leg, during the backswing, and a straight line can be drawn down the right leg at the top of the backswing. the leg be will leaning towards the target at the top. the "inside muscles" are then fully activated in the start of the downswing. this drives the right leg thru and rotates the hips.
