    2007年6月的《Golf Digest》杂志介绍了一种新的在PGA tour中引起热议的挥杆模式，这就是“Stact&Tilt”挥杆（简称“S&T”）。尽管这种技术早在2005年就已经让他的创造者Michael Bennett和Andy Plummer在PGA tour中闻名，但真正使之大火的还是发表在《Golf Digest》上署名为Peter Morrice的这篇文章。

    此套技术与传统经典高尔夫技术理论有许多不同，比如提倡上杆时“重心逆转”、要求下杆击球时重心向左侧移而不是过多地旋转等，许多传统理论认为是“错误”的动作，该技术理论反而奉为圭臬。为突出这种与众不同，该文作者有点夸大其词地说：这种技术颠覆了几乎所有传统的高尔夫技术教学。（“Their secret...contradicts almost everything being taught in the game today.”）那么，“Stact&Tilt”真的是独一无二吗？到底它与传统高尔夫挥杆技术有哪些不同？笔者最近搜索了几篇国外文献，以供球友参考、讨论。

The Key Difference
    The major difference with the "Stack and Tilt" swing is that it encourages the golfer to keep his weight on his or her front foot during the entire swing. In other words, it does away with the idea that there should be a "weight shift" during the backswing. With the Stack and Tilt swing the golfer starts with about 60% of his or her weight on the front foot, and actually shifts more weight to the front when taking the club back.
    Some older golfers will think this looks like a "reverse pivot" where the golfer
seems to be leaning towards the target at the top of the swing. Teachers of the
typical modern swing have their golf students draw the club back and stack their
weight over their back leg when the club hits the top of the swing. But Stack and
Tilt encourages the golfer to lean towards the target while the club is taken up.

Subtle Differences
    It may be hard for many golfers to spot the differences at first, but some of these differences are significant. For one thing teachers of the typical modern swing want the back leg to remain slightly flexed at the knee. But with the Stack and Tilt swing the back leg straightens out as it pushes back towards the target. See the photos featured in the Golf Digest article on page 122.
    As a result the front side of the body is "stacked" over the front foot, and the trailing side of the body is "tilted" towards the target.

    For a comparison with the typical modern swing look at photos of Tiger's swing of
the last few years, or see the photo of V.J. Singh's swing on page 43 of the same
issue of Golf Digest. Singh's upper body is "stacked" over his back leg at the top of
the swing, and the trailing side of his torso is perpendicular to the ground as he
pushes his weight back over his back leg. This is quite different from the way the
torso is angled towards the target with the Stack and Tilt swing.
