DVD 1 - Stack And Tilt™ Swing Review

Review Summary:

This video begins with Andy and Mike giving the user some ideas about what to expect from the progression of the videos. They also introduce the viewer to their use of "Catalogs" which are photos of various players being shown in the position they are describing and "Elements" which trace variations of each position.

As the chapters progress, the pair do a an excellent job of walking the viewer through the swing such that watching the first DVD would be sufficient to begin going out and practicing the Stack And Tilt™ almost immediately. However, the most interesting and fascinating chapters of the video by far are Chapters 7-9. In these chapters, Andy and Mike summarize the Stack And Tilt™ Fundamentals of golf.

The traditional fundamentals in golf are related to the grip, the stance, the posture, the alignment, ball position and tempo. Plummer and Bennett counter with notion that if these fundamentals are true, how is it possible that so many of the game's great champions have virtually nothing in common in any of these areas? They argue, quite compellingly, that they do not. Rather, they pose the question, "What do all the great players have in common?"

According to Andy and Mike, the true fundamentals of golf are:

1. The ability to strike the ground in the same spot everytime (specifically taking a divot after hitting the ball).
2. The ability to hit the ball with enough power to play the course in a reasonable amount of shots.
3. The ability to reliably control the curvature of the ball.

Pros:

This video gives the viewer the ability to get a "quick start" in the Stack And Tilt™ Swing without having to learn some of the more advanced concepts.

Cons:

Less than optimal video quality makes some of the visual aids not as clear as we're sure they would have liked.

Bottom Line:

This DVD alone is worth the entire price of the course as it directly answers the question of what great players do alike, and not what they do differently. Only by understanding what they have in common can we make accurate judgements about what is useful information or not.
