This is best over the top fix I have ever encountered. Tried it with irons today and it helped instantly. Can't wait to test it with the driver.

Just started watching your stack and tilt videos as I make my journey to better golf. This will be my focus for 2025. Live your content and have already started to see some improvements in my swing.

Thanks Rob i needed this to get me back on track. I do play with trail foot back help me tremendously but never flared the foot out a little bit. Going to give it a shot. Thank you

The way that you describe your golf swing in ways that all of us can understand is absolutely incredible and you just gain a subscriber for life and now I do believe I have found my golf teacher🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Instant difference

No secret about the effects of a closed stance But there is a negative tradeoff from a closed stance Less ability to rotate your pelvis on the downswing forcing a golfer into a more arms/ hands downswing. While some might find it beneficial to experiment with a closed , stance others might it hurts more than it helps .Some might even find it better to use a slightly open stance ( front foot pulled back ) , which will facilitate rotation going down. Before adopting either an open stance or aclosed stance , it might be better to experiment with a flaring one or both feet outward .

Rob Cheney again a brilliant video on the subject, I don't know how I missed it as I am theoretically becoming a golf tiger watching and understanding most of the videos available on TH-cam on golf. My late Coach (Ustad) in squash used to teach me this grip on squash racket by giving this example don't strangulate the bird (toothpaste is the new one for me). You are articulate and methodical. Your explanations are easy to grasp and understand................love from Pakistan and Happy New Year 2025

i recently watched a young female golf coach talking about weight on the back foot with driver, i wanted to scream at video , ive never hit better since weight forward, every days a school day

Rob you have great style of teaching golf keep up the good job

Off to the 1st tee in an hour... it's be a warm and humid 30 degrees here in on the NSW Central Coast, and I'm going to give this a try. Anything to reduce the amount of walking off to the right, hunting for the ball in amongst the trees :D

dragged that out a bit lol

Thanks for your video 👍. Any disadvantages in pulling your trail leg back ? Greetings from Luxembourg 🇱🇺

What launch monitor is that you are using? It used to be a Skytrak but this is not, right?

Is that Charles Howell III you used as your first example pro swing? Flaring the rear foot out is another way to let the rear hip rotate deeper, and keep it back longer. Granted I suspect when most people go to set their right foot back they'd automatically flare it at the same time. A potential negative I could see as an offshoot of pulling the rear foot back is someone could excessively close the rest of their alignment too. From there they may have a lot of misses to the right. Then to counter that they start making pulling motions with their arms and upper body to compensate. It's an ugly combination I've seen done by other players far too often.

Great follow up to last lesson on rt. leg stability. although not mentioned weight looks like 80% forward thru the swing and hips are not over-active thru the swing. Am I interpreting what I see correctly? Stay well my friend-Russ

Thanks!

How interesting. Just watched a vid that explains why this is a VERY BAD idea. It may work for a week or two but will hurt your game alot in the long run by forcing an out to in swing and causing difficulties during the follow through leading to dangerous back injuries over time.

TH-cam golf instruction = "Pick your poison" 😂 I have stop watching a time ago after getting my fundamentals. But i still get vids in my feed, is like YT wants you to start "gambling" again lol. I JUST got a vid suggested, and the title was "Stop this before its to late", and its about placing the trail foot back like you show now LOL..For me its just a giggle now, but i feel sry for all the confused ppl out there, that are stuck in this limbo, and probably dont even have time to play and try all the diffrent things, before already changing..Tiger said "stop watch YT", wich in theory sounds good, but everyone knows ppl cant do that. Plus coaches (everyone is a "coach" nowdays) need to push content, so its never gonna stop..Btw this is no critic to you, you are brilliant and the results ofc speaks for them self. Just wanted to get it of, since that video title summed it up so perfect ➡⬅ Cheers

I tried this a couple times today and I like it! I feel very comfortable with it, I feel like I could play golf with it.

Your headline says "Youv'e been lied to...". This is obviously ludicrous and is a red flag for your credibility. Golf, like tennis, is a game of civility and maturity. Time to acquire some class.

Tremendous video! I'm always learning something from you Mr. Cheney. This is gold. I can't wait to start drilling this and improving my contact.

Adhere to S&T and it's been good for me ! Have been moving my trail foot back as well and it's also a benefit ! Of late I have tried to narrow my stance and be a bit more neutral grip club face orientation etc - ie a little bit at a time - gentle swing always find more centre of face - When it all comes together it's excellent. That isn't always ! - so swing easy !

Brilliant tip, and great explanation of why it works. Had a lesson in the summer, and was instructed to do this and woah the difference in ball striking and confidence was immense. I'm very broad due to years of bodybuilding, and always swayed massively of the ball so had very inconsistent ball striking. I now stripe the ball going from shooting in the 90's to the 80's. Was never explained why it works, but now I know.. Thanks 👍

Rob, would this work even if i don’t use stack and tilt ??

nice simulator setup

What happens to the shoulder line at setup when you adopt the closed hip stance? Are the shoulders square or closed to the ball-target line? Thanks Rob.

Another fantastic tip! I do this but placing it back a little further the longer the club really helps, especially with the driver! Much better shallowing of the club and more club speed. Stack and tilt!! Thanks Rob!

Thanks for your great instructional videos Rob. I've been trying to get my head around the "correct" release for ages and have purchased the Precision Impact training aid to try and help. Thought I'd share this video relating to the release from Craig Hansen (th-cam.com/video/XsVcgf-is8k/w-d-xo.htmlsi=d4LMET7X7IvfWZvk) which seems to promote a wrist flexion move post impact instead of maintaining wrist extension post impact and the video shows various top tour pros executing swings with this move. Is it possible that both types of releases are acceptable and it just depends on other factors in a golfers swing? If that is the case what would those factors be?

i like to draw the ball but what if i need to hit a fade occasionally, what then

I’m struggling to understand where the club head speed comes from if you hold the wrist angle like that Is there no ‘throwing’ the club head at the ball?

I will add this to my pre shot routine

I have adopted a version of this in my full swing this past season. Only I go full on flamingo or stork stance. My ball striking feels like it has improved and been simplified. I started doing this because I would always hit it well in the flamingo drill. Do you see a big difference between a flamingo stance vs your right foot back (which seems more like taking a closed foot stance)?

Great video Rob! I've been pulling the trail leg back & flaring my feet out since I found you a few years ago & it makes a big difference for an old timer like me.

I’m always impressed with your videos Mr. Cheney. This one might be one of your best. Such excellent explanation and demonstration of how this fixes so many things. My dad experimented with the flamingo drill (which puts you in a very similar position) and he had one of his best rounds. This is gold and he and I will be sure to give this a go.

Hi Rob, excellent content in this video! The extension component in both directions is a major one. An area of struggle for me is blending the release from extension to flexion and the SPINE TILT in the downswing. I find that when those two movements are in proper sync there is a HUGE difference in my ball contact. I am prone to only turning and flexing from the top with my shoulders without tilting as I start the club downward...any suggestions on drills to improve the sequencing on that? Thank you again for your great videos on the Stack and Tilt system.

I’ve been doling this for a bit now and massively improved the longer clubs. You just need to play around with each club and how far back you want to pull the rear foot and you’ll see more/less draw

Rob, Another great video and great content. Andy Plummer and Steve Sieracki both had me doing this at my sessions with them and it's made a world of difference in consistency of strike and a push draw shot shape. Keep the great videos coming. You're site is the best there is for us "average" golfers to improve our games.

Rob, I've gone 100 percent to playing like this with all my clubs. This works!

Hi Rob, another great video. Does this technique also apply to the wedges? Thanks.

Can we give Jim Venetos some credit for this? He has been teaching this for years. I’m sure though he’s not the first 🤷‍♂️

Does this work with the wrench?

Rob, excellent video. One question about shoulder alignment adjustment, though. If you close your stance like this, what kind of setup tweaks do you suggest?

A GREAT session Rob. If the weather ever gets clement here in central North Carolina I'll take it to the course and give you a progress report. Stay well my friend. Looking forward to more info on your trip to the states-Russ

Simple clever add on Rob. Be good-Russ

You"ve helped me in so many ways with your coaching technique but this might just be the most important to me. As an ex-jock I've always had over active hips and this will slow me down. Thanks much-Be well-Russ

Been doing this for about 4 months now. Absolutely helps with more power and greatly improves draw bias. I'm totally sold.

dans le système S&T comment travaillent alternativement la jambe droite et la jambe Gauche ? comment matérialiser la poussée au sol sans balance ?

Great video as always, Rob. Does this technique hinder the finish where most (if not all) of your weight is on the left side? Thanks again!

Full swing version of the wrench basically? Shoulder line square to the target, not just aiming right, correct?
