Any low cappers here use this swing method? If so, what are your general thoughts and some tips for someone making a swing change to this method?

I will try to make this short and sweet...
Check out the Tour, and see how many guys are using the "Stack and Tilt"...Then see how many guys have won using the stack and tilt. After that, divide the number of wins buy 5 years (with about 45 tournaments per year)...That should give you a pretty clear representation of how effective it is!

How many GIR and FIR do you average a round? Tebow is right in that the easiest way to lower a handicap is to practice shots inside of 50 yards.
To the OP, Stack and Tilt is a marketing ploy. If you want more consistency study Kuchar's swing. It's a simple one plane swing and won't be too hard to emulate if you are serious about switching and as a 4 handicap it shouldn't be too difficult for you.

I am a 10 handicap I keep very detailed records of my game. I tried the stack and tilt for a season, and I went back to my old ways.
My game:
Long hitter pw is 145, 285 on a launch monitor indoors with driver.
My weakest part of my game by far is short game, I will average 13 gir in a round and still play to my 10 handicap, lot of three putting. And at least one chuncked chip a round.
I am also a high ball hitter, with enough spin to stop a 6 iron dead on a clean shot.
My stack and tilt trial:
First thing is spin rate increased, ball flight decreased.
I also through my records I noticed that my misses were not as bad as before, but as an overall percentage my fairways and gir's went down.
I switched from it because I like being a high
ball hitter, and I enjoy 3 great shots a round over 5 average shots. Also the crazy spin was killing me.
I was not trying to get my handicap down to a from a 4 to a 2. if I wanted to do that, I
would have taken some short game and putting lessons.
Btw, I call my game a scramble dream, because it is very effective in scrambles
and we will always use one of my balls on long par 4's and a par 5.

Screw the stack and tilt. Find the slot instead. The Slot Swing by Jim McClean. It's a 2 plane principal. I play to a 4 HCP and was a 9 Playing a 1 plane swing before switching to the Slot Swing. To me I can feel the plane better, and am able to feel the club flatten in the downswing attacking the ball. If you record golf and slow motion most pro swings, they are some form of a 2 plane Slot Swing with the club being on a more vertical plane at the top of the backswing.
I agree with the previous poster. If you want to get better, increase your ability on the short game and putting.
