Tried the S.&T. method and for the average golfer it would improve your game.Definately helps in hitting in front of the ball(divot)

The saying is "there's nothing new under the sun." And if you assume that almost every idea or innovation is built upon ideas that preceded it the saying has some validity. For the most part, Stack & Tilt fits this description. Seventy years ago a golf professional named Ernest Jones lost his right leg in World War I. After recovery he went out and shot 82 followed by 73--on one leg. Based on his experience (of only have one leg), he formulated an approach to the golf swing that abandoned the long-held ideas about weight-shift and other body-focused golf instruction. Instead he came upon the novel, but self-evident, fact that controlling the ball flight has nothing to do with the movement of the body and everything to do with the movement of the club.
The merit of stack and tilt is this. The most efficient and consistent way to use a club to do so in a swinging motion. Since a "swinging" club always returns predictably to the mid point of the arc, centering the body on the club at address is critical. Stack and Tilt positions the golfer with this in mind.
That's it. Eliminating the weight shift and setting up with the body centered on the ball is the only real benefit of S&T. If you want to benefit even more, set up with the body centered on the club instead of the ball.
For more on focusing on the club instead of the body read Manuel de la Torre's book, Understanding the Golf Swing.

Ed - Your comment is intriguing and quite possibly the best "summation" of Stack and Tilt I've read anywhere, apart from Bennett and Plummer themselves. Ernest Jones inspired many players and at least one great teacher in de la Torre. Thank you for contributing to the discussion of Stack and Tilt.
