this book has transformed my short game into something I am proud of.my short gave was not good, but adopting Stan's procedure has helped my short game immeasurably. RRomer
Utley wants you to chip with a sand wedge every time, that's Ok if you have the precision and accuracy of a Pro but as an amateur its very hard to use a sand wedge for long distance chips you are better of using a 8 or 9 iron and doing more of a chip and run. Very onerous to read in the first place. Poorly written and poorly diagrammed. I was blading my chips constantly. Advice on pitching and chipping proved disastrous for me. My score ballooned and after many frustrating rounds had a PGA professional set me straight. Total waste of money. Please don't waste your time.
In stead of winning money I lost the most after I adopt the method in this book. This book is the worst golf book I have ever read. The turn does not make any sense. Contrary to other reviews the sand play does not make sense at all either. I either left ball in sand or completely over the green in green side banker after I use the setup in chapter 7.
I'm excited about my game again. Once I get my putting stroke down, I'm counting on shooting par before the end of the year.
As a result, my scores were usually in the low to mid 90's. I've always taken pride in bombing my drives down the fairway, but had little patience around and on the greens.
With Stan's pivot move, I'm putting for more birdies than I ever have before. This season my focus is from 100 yards in.
I've already started seeing results with a 78 on my last round. That's well over a stroke per hole improvement.
Thanks Stan.
One was a sandy save and the rest were all within ten feet of the hole. After reading the first 4 chapters I played a round and discovered this short game method is a perfect fit to the S & T. I have been using the Stack and Tilt swing method for about two years and just discovered this book on my Kindle. I am delighted with the results learned from this book. My first swing attempt was a 20-yard pitch from a tight fairway with my sand wedge (which I never would have used before) and the result was a shot that checked slightly and stopped six inches from the cup for a saved par 5. Playing that day in a 20-25 mph Arizona wind I had plenty of sand opportunities. While the book may not be a literary gem, the language is easy flowing descriptive and even without photos in sequence is very understandable.
