About Golf Evolution

The game of golf has, for a long time, lacked a set of measurements to base its instruction upon. Through studying and classifying the swings of great, average, AND below average players we have established such a set of measurements or definitions that govern our instruction. It is important to note that our instruction is based upon these metrics and we DO NOT make determinations or teach our students based on what the best players in the world do or say they do. We, do however, find many instances where we can use those players as examples of what we conclude to be true and reliable.

Why the Stack and Tilt Swing Pattern or the Stack and Tilt "method"? First...Webster defines "method" as: a systematic procedure followed in presenting material for instruction...or...an orderly arrangement or classification. Based on this definition we would HOPE that EVERY golf instructor would teach some sort of method. If not, it seems they would simply be choosing to follow an arbitrary path with no defined metrics and, thus, random outcomes.

Following extensive research and hundreds of lessons it is our belief that the biggest problem holding back golfers today is that their weight is too far "back" or even moving backward throughout the swing. This causes golfers to bottom the club out behind the ball (sometimes to an extreme) and too swing severely OUT to IN. It is this OUT to IN swing path that has created generations of slicers. The Stack and Tilt swing stresses the importance of having the golfer's weight forward (and moving the center of gravity continuously forward). This is one facet of allowing the club to strike the ground in the proper place and, purely because of the geometry involved, to approach the ball from the inside. If golf instruction had focused on these procedures for the past 100 years we would likely have a society of golfers who push and draw the ball...rather than pull and slice it.

Location
Golf Evolution is a Stack and Tilt School located at 7214 Grubb Rd. in Erie, PA, onsite at the Whispering Woods Golf Club. Our facilities include a relaxing studio located directly on the practice range, a full practice putting green, a dedicated wedge range/short game area, and a double ended 310 yd. practice range. Our offerings include individual full swing and short game lessons, group lessons, men's, women's and junior clinics, day long and multi-day golf schools and junior golf camps in the Summer months.We are open for instruction more than 9 months a year and we have inclement weather hitting areas available when necessary.

The vision at Golf Evolution is to provide each student with a timeline for their improvement and document the steps along the way. The main goal is to help every student swing the golf club in the most efficient manner possible and make the entire process fun and simple to understand.
