The New Golf Swing
January 16, 2009 by Hanna08
Golf is a sport steeped in tradition, and for that very reason, changes in the game are always made very slowly. So the modern golf swing has not gone through much change over the years since Ben Hogan’s diminutive frame and little book defined what a good swing should look like.
All that may soon be changing, though. A couple of respected golf instructors have developed a new golf swing after 20 years of research using real people, science and the latest computer technology. The new swing is called Stack and Tilt. It is so named because you stack all your weight over the ball and keep it there throughout the swing. The only way to effectively do this as your body is swing the club in an arc around yourbody is to “tilt” your torso toward the target.
By keeping the head directly over the ball trhoughout the swing, the golfer mainatins excellent balance and hits the ball with a precise, descending blow which rockets the golf ball off the clubface in an explosion of power. All this is done without the need to take a full backswing.
This swing is simpler, has less moving parts and forces you to hit the ball with a descending blow. A traditional golf swing has many moving parts and each motion is another opportunity for power “leaks” if not done absolutely correctly. By having fewer moving parts, there is less chance that the swing power is wasted in other areas, so all of the force is delivered to the ball.
Much of the stack and tilt golf swing seems to go against everything you’ve ever learned about swinging the club, and that can make it difficult to switch. Old habits are hard to break. But if you take the time to learn the new swing, you may find that it provides everything you need for a super consistent swing and added distance.
It is an annual dinner at a very long rectangular table, a custom begun in 1952, when Ben Hogan suggested it might be fun to get all the living Masters champions together for dinner before the tournament.
You need an undergraduate degree to go to law school, but there are no required majors. You may chose to major in subjects considered to be traditional preparation for law school, such as history, english, philosophy, political science, economics or business or you may chose areas that are nontraditional such as art, music, science and mathematics, computer science, engineering, nursing and education. Be your own person.

The problem with computer technology at least is that so much of it runs on electricity (and the plastics require petroleum products) . Plus the process of making and retiring computers involves a lot of toxic stuff. As brought to mind again by Foxconn/iPad issues, it’s usually pretty sweatshop crappy kind of work that is not good for people. Of course, there are other kinds of tech than computer tech.
RT i am obsessed with my computer…seriously…technology has taken over the world.
Excellent review! Your remark about using one's “entire body instead of a mouse” highlights, I think, one of the significant limitations of computer technology today — that its input and output resolution is so low. Real life is in full colour, but only 32-bit on screen? How do you think you might use your insights here to increase your own creative “resolution?”
