I love your no nonsense approach, the system element of S&T is why I switched to it. No "one weird trick" or one instructor with a different idea of how you should do things.
I only watch this and saguto golf now ! Cheers Rob great explanation. Playing golf about 3 yrs now , I’ve tried the old school whipping of the hands through the ball. I’ve tried the rotational swing but just way too many moving parts ! S&T is by far the most predictable and best for my game !!
Wish I had seen this video 50 years ago. I feel like Rob has been watching me make all the mistakes over the years. This is the one video all should watch before you start on the pathe to better golf.
This might be the most sensible golf video on UA-cam, including a bit of therapy for all of us chasing more distance and trendy golf theories. In the end, golf is a game of strategy and execution. There is no ball speed category on the scorecard.
Rob - I am very new to S&T. I find your videos so informative and repeatable. This particular one was an eye opener for me and I hope for others. Thanks so much for doing what you do. I wish you would move to Calgary Alberta Canada 🇨🇦 (Just hoping) . Your 🇨🇦 Friend
I played for about a year and a half when I lived in a golf heaven northern state but then I started a family and diapers were more important than golf. Now my daughters are grown and self dependent. Getting back into the game so that when I retire I have something to do in addition to my other hobbies. I went to the driving range with a friend for the first time in 20 years. My primary goal was to get comfortable and just make contact with the ball, work on fundamentals. I wasn’t concerned about distance
It’s challenging to try and change so many things in my swing. I can play well at times and then poorly at other times with my present swing. I really want to change to Stack and Tilt. Won’t be easy but well worth it. I’ve got the takeaway down ok but shoulder down, hands in, arms straight and hips tucked are hard to get at the same time. But I’ll give it my best effort. Love your teaching. 👍👍considering a lesson.
Hi Rob. Really good stuff as always. I am particularly impacted by your direction around not focusing on maximizing distance but finding the balance between distance and good contact/direction. Generally speaking, I have quite consistent direction. I am able to get enough distance to get on greens in regulation though there's significant variance in my distance - primarily because of very inconsistent contact. (I mostly hit the ball without hitting the ground.) Based on the 3 fundamentals that you outline, is the idea to really slow down or abbreviate the swing until contact becomes extremely consistent and then gradually increase speed? Thanks again.
Thanks, David. I wouldn’t necessarily take that approach (although you could do). I would identity WHY your contact is so variable, and work on that piece. Depending on the “why”, you may be able to still make swings close to full speed. Also, reducing speed (slightly) in exchange for more consistent, centered contact can ultimately yield better distance dispersion (meaning the extremes of your distance shot pattern will be tighter, and that also increases your chances of shooting lower scores.
@@robcheneygolf1 Thanks Rob! Appreciate the thoughtful response. I think it's probably getting to the time where I need to get you to analyse my swing. :)
Ooh! It's the "eat your vegetables" episode. Can't you just sell me a golf pill? Actually Rob's drills provide enough instant results in each area they address that the rewards of pursuing practice are obvious and waiting. How much you care about getting better is how much better you'll get. Everybody makes that choice for themselves.
Excellent job … your fundamentals theme really hit home … the only thing I would have added is do you really want to be like David Carradine on the series Kung Fu traveling from town to town looking 👀 for that swing tip #chasing theDRAGON
My problem is in the last two rounds I am hitting a low pull draw, I had 6 penalties today and shot 86 with 5 doubles because I hit a low left pull hook with the driver
So the low/left has to be associated with an excessively closed club face. Without seeing your swing, it’s hard to say EXACTLY what you need to do, but you should at least begin by opening the club face some amount to begin reducing the likelihood of the low/left. Hope that helps you begin to figure this out? 🙏🏻
@@robcheneygolf1 I figured it was closed club face, I don't think I'm coming over it, I think it is too much bow in my lead wrist which makes the face shut.

Agreed. The logical, systematic approach is a very attractive one. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. 👍🏻

Rob I always learn something new when you post! Thank you!
Thanks, Eric! 🙏🏻

As always easy to understand explanations and instruction, than you Rob
Thank you son much! 👍🏻

Maybe one day? 🇨🇦
So many great words of wisdom . Yet another great video.
Rob I would love the hear your story about the journey you took that led you to Stack & Tilt.

Good luck on your journey back into golf. I hope the videos on my channel can provide you with some good advice and information along the way! 🙏🏻👍🏻

Best video yet !
Thank you, Jim! 🙏🏻
Hi Rob. Will this all work for seniors thank you
Yes, Ron. This is PERFECT for senior golfers!
I have been in a loop for to long now, I have plenty of distance but lost accuracy, should I slow down my swing?

Thank for watching and I’m glad you found the video informative! 👍🏻
Even as a weekend warrior who is atrociously bad at golf, I can tell this information is gold.
Thank you 🙏🏻 I hope the videos can help you enjoy the game some more.
I feel like I'm doing everything right by striking the ball first. But everything keeps squirting out low and right???
Sounds like you could be hitting on the heel/hosel of the club?
My problem is in the last two rounds I am hitting a low pull draw, I had 6 penalties today and shot 86 with 5 doubles because I hit a low left pull hook with the driver
So the low/left has to be associated with an excessively closed club face. Without seeing your swing, it’s hard to say EXACTLY what you need to do, but you should at least begin by opening the club face some amount to begin reducing the likelihood of the low/left. Hope that helps you begin to figure this out? 🙏🏻
