You’ve probably heard a lot of Tour coaches talking about the stack and tilt philosophy. What I’m going to try and do is simplify that and just call it turning around a central axis, meaning that when we are trying to generate the maximum amount of power we don’t want to sway too far off the golf ball. "When we sway too far off the golf ball we tend to lose our contact, meaning inconsistent contact, hitting it all over the face and not getting as much energy transfer, but as well what we lose is some of that coil, the tension that’s created, that torque that helps propel our body and eventually the golf ball with the maximum velocity. "I’m a scientist, my background is as a pharmacist and I look at a lot of data from all over, I look at the best longest hitters on the PGA Tour to guys that hit it real far a long time ago, to current guys who really bash it out there, as well as current long drive champions. And without a doubt the one constant thing that they all do that you can emulate in your own golf swing is they turn around that central axis. They are not swaying too far off the golf ball. A little movement is OK, but move a long way and you’re losing power, you’re losing contact, ultimately you’re losing distance and velocity.
