From Golf Rewind Wiki

The Stack and Tilt is a golf swing taught by Andy Plummer and Mike Bennett that was featured in Golf Digest. (The New Tour Swing article) The swing is based on the Mac O'Grady swing model.

The Stack and Tilt is fairly controversial because it is seen as contradictory to what most golfers are taught. While most swing theories advocate shifting your weight to the right side on the back swing, the Stack and Tilt teaches you to have a 60/40 balance of weight biased towards the left side.

There are now over 20 pros on the PGA Tour who work with Plummer and Bennett. These pros include Tommy Armour III, Eric Axley, Aaron Baddeley, John Cook, Brad Faxon, Will MacKenzie, Mike Weir, Charlie Wi and Dean Wilson.

Here is what Mike Weir had to say about it.

"I liked what I was hearing about Mike Bennett and Andy Plummer from my former college roommate and friend Dean Wilson, who was working with them. Dean won his first tournament on tour last year, and we talked a lot about how they saw the swing.

I liked the way I hit the ball from the time I first worked with them. They teach a swing where you don't transfer weight on your backswing. Their studies show that the great ball-strikers such as Sam Snead, Ben Hogan and Jack Nicklaus were over the ball, not behind it at the top of the swing. It's been feeling more and more natural to me every tournament."

Not all golfers have had success with the Stack and Tilt. Jason Gore said, "I was trying to do something that i'm not physically able to do" when asked about his experience trying the swing.
