You're far too kind, Ken, but I sincerely appreciate that and I'm very glad to know that my instruction is resonating well with you!! Keep it crispy! Tom
Just want to pop in and say what many others have said. You are by far the best online instructor. I have spent too many countless hours watching many different instructors and tips but your approach to golf makes soooo much sense and makes it so easy. I became a member and have been working through golf swing simplified and it’s truly the most amazing stuff. My swing is already soooo much better and I’m hitting so much more consistent. The way you describe stuff makes it easy to understand and you can really see results. Thanks so much for what you do and being light hearted and not taking yourself too seriously while you do it. Appreciate you a lot!

Tom, I’ve watched a lot of golf instructional videos from many instructors. And since I’ve come across your videos, I now have stopped searching for other instructors and no longer watch anyone else. Your instructions have really helped me improve my game. Was shooting in the upper 90s to low 100s. Now I’m in the 80s constantly. Lowest round is 82. I’m confident I’ll break 80 this year
That's awesome, Donald!! 💪💪 I'm very glad to know that my instruction is resonating with you; excellent job incorporating it into your swing and putting it into play!! Thanks so much for sharing your improvement, keep up the great work, and we'll see you soon in the 70's!!

Thank you Tom, I’ve only been golf golfing for a year and if it wasn’t for me stumbling across your video’s I’d probably be in golf limbo forever. After 2 weeks of following your technique I’ve literally added 15-20 yards on all my irons and the consistency is unreal. Crispy KFC!

I know I'm a little late to the game but I stumbled upon your channel yesterday, watched 5 to 6 videos and I went straight to the range right after. For the first time in a long time I didn't come home dejected and ready to quit golf. I have struggled with the coming over the top motion in my swing, just a few of your videos and 1 range session has changed my outlook on the game. I really appreciate your simple approach to the game, thank you for your great content.

B Hogan would be proud of you. You teach golf simple and make it fun, you rascal. I love the driving range because I get to not only teach myself the way you teach, but I can pass enough to others. I spend hours on the range, and only a portion of the time on the golf course. And my weak spot is between the two ears. Once I learn to overcome my thinking process and actually having fun on the golf course… “ welcome to the wonderful world of golf”…😂
Thanks so much for that! I sincerely appreciate your kind words, and I'm very glad to know that my instruction content and teaching style are resonating with you!! As for "between the ears", an excellent book that may help you with this is "Fearless Golf: Conquering the Mental Game" by Dr. Gio Valiante. Another book that I like is "Play Your Best Golf Now" by Lynn Marriott & Pia Nilsson. Thanks again, keep up the great work, and get out on that course!!

No matter what I tried or which Channel i watched for tips I couldn’t improve my golf game at all and was about to quit, then a few months ago I came across saguto golf and I started making progress on the right path! Clean ball striking no more duffing it! By far the best golf channel on UA-cam, love the videos please keep them coming, life’s to short to play bad Golf!
I appreciate your kind words, Tom, and I'm very glad to know that my instruction helped you rescue yourself from the ledge!! Life is indeed too short to play bad golf, but we definitely don't want to quit this great game either. Thanks so much for sharing your success, keep it crispy, and have fun out there!!

A church friend just told me about you. I haven't played golf in years now but I think I might try again thanks to the first few minutes of this video. He said it changed his game too. I'm 68 so I'm afraid I might hurt something going out cold so making the swing a little simpler will go a long way for me. Thanks. I might actually go again. I loved my old golf outings even though they were mostly frustrating events most of the time.
Welcome back to this great game, and thanks to your friend for sharing my channel with you!! As for "hurting something", a significant percentage of my online school members are in their 60's, 70's, and 80's - i.e.: a smorgasbord of chronic ailments, physical limitations, back/shoulder/knee/hip pain, arthritis, and joint replacements - and they are overwhelmingly elated to experience the dramatic pain-free game improvement, seemingly effortless power, and resulting enjoyment that this swing affords them. It all begins with a proper setup which provides for a free-flowing motion. Upon that good foundation a repeatable swing which produces consistently crispy impact can be built. Perhaps you might consider the comprehensive, structured, sequential learning platform of my online school? That's where - among many other courses and lessons covering various aspects of the game - you will find very detailed instruction and drills that take you through the entire swing step-by-step from setup to finish.

@@SagutoGolf Thanks for the reply Tom. It was the part about keeping your weight more on your front leg that caught my attention. I had always been taught (mainly by myself) that I had to shift my weight by loading up on my back (right) leg and transferring my weight to my front leg during the swing. This ends up in a hip sway the harder to try to do it and is probably why I never consistently had a divot in front of the ball. I'm looking forward to getting out there and trying this simpler method although it will probably need to wait until after the new year when the weather isn't so great down here in Louisiana.
@millstap - Don't blame yourself! Even if you had subscribed to "conventional" instruction during your golf formative years, you still would have likely been taught to shift back and forth. How interesting and sad it is that with all the advances in equipment, technology, golf course grooming, etc. the average golfer still struggles to break 100. So many misconstrued and/or misguided teachings - such as turning the shoulders level while independently lifting the club, shifting into and torquing against a firm trail side, actively rolling the hands through impact, etc. - have relegated generations of golfers to the vast abyss of inconsistency and chronic frustration (and chronic back/knee/hip pain as well). I’m doing my best here to clear these up one by one and put an end to this madness!

It's great how you mix in your non golf comments and your music. It keeps the lesson fun and interesting along with your excellent instruction. THANKS!
I'm glad to learn that you are enjoying my "lesson and a show" instruction style, Glen! Just know that despite the entertainment aspect, everything taught here from a golf swing perspective is consistent with a system rooted in physics, geometry, and human physiology, and modeled on empirical observations of the game's greatest ball strikers.

Tom... you mentioned re-routing nonsense ... are you simply taking the club back "in the slot" and leaving it there?? then returning the club to the ball on the same path while maintaining a slight stack n tilt posture.... thanks for some awesome content... I really enjoy your approach to the swing and the direction of simplifying and de-mystifying good ball striking.... you are awesome..
It's the beauty of a one-plane motion, @les moore! Here's an episode I released on this very topic: ua-cam.com/video/0IxI_qmaF_A/v-deo.html I'm very glad to know that you are enjoying my instruction content and style. With regard to simplifying and demystifying, the way I see it we can put the already existing natural laws to work for us, or we can twist, morph, torque, contrive, and otherwise mess with the principles of physics and geometry in an effort to better suit some ill-conceived whims, all the while recognizing that at the point of impact those pre-existing laws are going to be the only things that matter to the ball!

I've been working on this method for a while now and it's coming around real good. My score has gone from mid to high 90's to the low 80's. Thanks Tom for some great content.
Nice to hear from you again, Les. Indeed, you've been commenting here periodically for quite some time, and I'm very glad to learn of your progress with the swing and the resulting dramatic improvement in scoring!! Thanks for sharing your success, keep it crispy, and have fun out there!! Tom
If there is one thing that makes it come faster... work on alignment outside of the golf course as well. Use the line on the ball for every shot when you are out on course. If you're not playing for score, practice the shit out of alignment. It'll save you so much frustration.
Your videos inspired me to pick up the game again after about 5 years of not playing. I lost compassion for the game after inconsistent shots, rounds and frustrations. What you teach works. After only practicing a couple times with everything I've learned from you, I shot a 43 on nine holes the other day after basically 5 years off! Blown away, thank you very much.
That's awesome, Travis - welcome back to this great game!! I'm very glad to know that my instruction helped you; nice job incorporating the lessons into your swing so quickly and effectively!!

I don’t normally comment…but, I tried golf 5 years ago and just couldn’t get the hang of hitting the ball clean. I’ve recently retired so thought I’d try again. After listening to Tom…I’m now hitting the ball cleaner than ever. The simplicity of the Saguto swing has helped me so much..thanks ever so much..

I have been playing 6 months now. I had an idea of what a golf swing should look like, and how it should feel. 2 months ago I tried Sagutos technique but felt way too uncomfortable/foreign so I dropped it and went back to my old swing. Fact remained I still struggled with consistency and distance. So A week ago I committed to his channel and technique, signing up to his email chain. because I just cant afford lessons. Boy oh boy!!! Today I smashed shot after shots at the range. I gained 40 + yards with my 7 iron. Could never get it past 130yards. Today I consistently hit it 175yards. I am so happy and cant wait to take it to the course. I would like Tom to share some tips using the driver and his technique. Its brilliant!!! Happy to share the proof, took videos and have stats from the launch monitor.
That's awesome, William - I'm thrilled for your improvement and very glad to know that my instruction is resonating well with you!! Nice job building it into your swing!! It is essentially the same swing with every club; just some minor setup differences and naturally occurring shaft plane changes as we graduate up in club length from short irons to woods. In fact, here is a video of Stack and Tilt co-founder Mike Bennett hitting the driver: ua-cam.com/video/7fmtzyH3rsA/v-deo.html. It looks very similar to his iron swing, right?: ua-cam.com/video/SLjwU_1Cc7o/v-deo.html If you search the word "drive" on this channel you'll see some related content. Additionally, in a number of my recent channel episodes you may notice that I demonstrate the exact same lesson with the driver towards the end of the video. Upon learning this swing properly you will be harnessing the tremendous power source known as "angular momentum". This is the reason my students and online school members of all age ranges end up bombing it farther than they ever had previously. Thanks for your support in sharing your success and keep up the great work!! Tom
Tom, I can’t thank I you enough for your alternative approach to the golf swing. I spent hundreds in golf lessons and was still inconsistent and hacking my way through golf courses. For the first time I am actually enjoying golf and seeing immediate results from practicing what you teach. My contact is turning into crispy KFC! Thank you very much for the effort and humour you put into your videos. I have been having a great time learning from you
I sincerely appreciate the kind words, Stephen, and I'm very glad to know that my instruction content and style are resonating with you!! With regard to this being an "alternative approach", the way I see it we can either simply put the already existing natural laws to work for us, or we can twist, morph, torque, contrive, and otherwise mess with the principles of physics and geometry in an effort to better suit some ill-conceived whims, all the while recognizing that at the point of impact those pre-existing laws are going to be the only things that matter to the ball! The swing system I teach is based on data from the game’s best golf ball strikers. Unfortunately, such sorcery from this dark underworld of golf instruction rarely finds its way to the mainstream because if too many folks found out about it the mainstream would then be rendered irrelevant....... 😎 Thanks for sharing your success, keep up the great work, and keep it crispy!! Tom
Wow - that is some fantastic playing!!! Thanks very much for your kind words and for sharing your success. keep up the great work and have fun out there!! Tom
Keeping the backswing inside forces your lead shoulder in to a more leaned position! What a great way to feel how your shoulders should be oriented in the backswing and feel the proper tilt action. Awesome video man!
Yes!! I'm glad to know that this lesson resonated well with you, Hogan. Keep up the great work!!

This is awesome! So simple, to the point, AND it all works. I am hitting the ball better than I ever have. Believe it or not, it's true that by applying these tips, you use a lot less effort and the ball flies off the clubface. Now I have to regulate my clubs, because I am hitting each club further than before. Thanks Tom!!!!

That's awesome, Robert!! Congrats on a great round, and thanks so much for your kind words!! Keep up the great work and let's see you in the 70's real soon!! Tom
So glad I found you Tom. I lost my swing and didn’t know where to begin again. The simple straight lead arm swing thought was the start of my journey to being able to hit my irons again. GET PITTED. Just got back from a round where I was able to play the my most consistent golf in a while. Thanks for doing what you do, and for doing it with personality.

Tom, I took a lesson with you about (2) years ago, and in concert with all your videos, I am having a blast playing golf now. Thanks for that! So I'm at a driving range in Dillsburg PA and a guy is struggling and I couldn't help myself. I started telling him some of your basics and to look up Tom Seguto on YT. His response was: Tom Seguto? I sed yeah, I took a lesson with him down in Myrtle Beach. He sez....I graduated with Tom Seguto!! Small world huh?
That makes no sense. I just said how much Tom helped me. The guy was not following Tom and I'm pretty sure that he was not aware of his YT channel. He simply recognized his name and sed that he graduated with Tom. Who, if I'm not mistaken is from right down the road from Dillsburg PA around Gettysburg PA.
LOL! That's awesome, Greg!! Range End in Dillsburg was our home course in high school. I went to Bermudian Springs. Small world indeed!! Thanks for sharing your story. I'm thrilled to learn of your progress and enjoyment!! Tom
Thanks Eric!! I'm glad my instruction is resonating well with you. You're absolutely correct - it necessarily requires time and dedication to the process to ingrain the proper motions, but once we get there we will own a very consistent, powerful, and low-maintenance swing for the rest of our golfing days. By the way, have you considered the comprehensive, structured, sequential learning platform of my online school? That's where - among many other courses and lessons covering various aspects of the game - you will find very detailed instruction and drills that take you through the entire swing step-by-step from setup to finish.

Hi Tom. Great video as usual. I’ve taken your course. It was the best hundred dollars I’ve spent. Over the years I’ve taken many golf lessons and gone to two formal golf instruction schools. None of them helped me as much as your videos have. My scores have come down from so far over 100 that it wasn’t even worth keeping track, to the mid to low 90s with occasional games into the 80s. Putting is the last piece of the puzzle. My one suggestion related to the above video was that you didn’t mention keeping the right elbow tucked in. I suspect that the concept of hands in will result in the right elbow tucking properly. But for me that was the main key to improving my golf swing and I would hate for people to not have that idea. Thanks again, Golf is ❤a lot more fun for me now

Paused at 7:37 Mcilroy's flexibility is pretty impressive. His chest is pretty much pointing upwards, yet his head is still locked on the ball, his lead arm is almost pinned to his chest... that's insane.
Many Tour players are certainly blessed in that regard. The good news is that you don't need the flexibility of a Romanian gymnast - or even of this far less pliable golf instructor - to execute this swing and experience great ball striking!

At 64, you've really helped me keep some power in my game. Even with back problems and other "getting old" issues, I'm still getting better. 👍🏻 Thanks!
That's awesome, though not surprising as a significant percentage of my online school members are in their 60's, 70's, and 80's - i.e.: a smorgasbord of chronic ailments, physical limitations, back/shoulder/knee/hip pain, arthritis, and joint replacements - and they are overwhelmingly elated to experience the dramatic pain-free game improvement, seemingly effortless power, and resulting enjoyment that this swing affords them. Thanks for sharing your success and keep up the great work!! Tom
Tom, would you say the set up is a braced tilt as one instructor I followed used to say. He also said to have the "tush" in the next country behind you so the arms could be tossed upwards. I feel bracing against the left side with the tush out naturally would produce the swing you demonstrate. Also,on a guitar note do you like Mark Knopfler's guitar playing? I do.
Hi Jon, I have taught the feel of the lead side being like a fixed door hinge, so I suppose that would be a similar concept. However, this is a one-plane swing so I do not advocate any independent lifting - or "tossing up" - of the arms. Instead, in this swing the lead arm should match the tilted shoulder plane at the top. Here's a link to my FREE mini-course “The Top 3 Things You Need to Be a Great Ball Striker” in case you’re interested in learning about the swing system I teach in a more structured manner: go.saguto.golf/ Yes - Knopfler is a fabulous guitarist!

I've stood close with fellow caddies like my one friend who shot 66 to win jr tournament and as I and Dan watched tour pros with very few people around as they worked the range we saw people like Leonard Thompson hit amazing 2 irons.

@@SagutoGolf Yessir! I signed up for the year!! I have been working on my relationship with the ball and when I keep my back-arm quiet and focus on that relationship things go really well! I am still struggling with the finish (extension) so I will be working on that! Looking forward to the online content! Cheers! Matt
That's awesome, Matt! Here's some preliminary advice to help you get off to a good start in the school: 1) Regardless of a member's skill level, this swing necessitates a complete reboot for someone transitioning from a shift & lift swing (which is typically the case), and therefore it is imperative that one take sufficient time to ensure that the fundamental components are mastered. From the ground up there is nothing superfluous in the Stack & Tilt swing - in other words, everything with a purpose, and a purpose for everything. (For example, contrary to shift & lift where you may be taught to keep your trail foot perpendicular to the target line as a means of "creating resistance" in your trail side, in S&T we flare both feet out 10-20 degrees in order to facilitate a free flowing, inclined hip and shoulder turn.) I cannot emphasize this enough, as frustrations predominantly occur when students jump ahead in the curriculum without properly dedicating themselves to the foundational base upon which our consistently repeatable, powerful, low maintenance swing must be built. Chapter 1 of the Golf Swing Simplified program (GSS) and Part I of Get Out & Go Play (GOGP) both address this. 2a) GSS: One of the many great things about this swing is that you can achieve solid ball striking even at the most basic levels. This is why I oftentimes will suggest that students park themselves on Chapter 2 of the GSS course for an extended period of time after locking down Chapter 1's foundational elements. Chapter 2 reinforces the body motions and the weight-forward component, and it culminates with what I call "The Best Golf Swing Practice Drill of All Time". Work yourself sequentially and gradually through the chapter, and then commit yourself to that drill in Lesson 2.8. Learn it. Practice it. Master it. You can even use this partially abbreviated swing on the course and play quite well with it as it will provide plenty of distance. (It actually is the full swing minus just a couple of power accumulators.) Once you've got that down, you will be well prepared to move forward in the curriculum and well on your way towards taking ownership of YOUR swing! 2b) GOGP: This quick-start program is exactly as it sounds - it is designed to fast-track you out onto the course so you can have fun - and success - playing as you learn! Should you choose this path, everything in #1 above still applies, and as implied above in 2a you will still want to work through it sequentially and gradually, mastering each lesson before moving ahead to the next one. In this program, Drill #5 - The Flying Wedge is the one you'll want to park yourself on and nail down. 3) Also, as you progress always keep in mind the V1 Swing Video Analysis service, an effective and inexpensive service that I highly recommend to everyone in the school. I liken it to bringing your swing into the shop for a tune-up or minor repair. Scheduling one on a quarterly basis for preventive maintenance will do wonders for keeping things humming along nicely, and it's also a great tool for pinpointing and resolving any issues that arise. The process involves downloading the free V1 app and then submitting two videos to me through the app - one down-the-line (captured from your stance line, not the target line) and the other face-on. You'll find more information about the V1 Analysis halfway down this page on the Saguto.Golf site: saguto.golf/p/sagutogolf 4) Finally, please migrate over to the SagutoGolf Community Forum - which is included in your online school enrollment - and begin engaging with your fellow members.

This is exactly how I have been hitting flush irons for years. I never saw your video before but this is what I do. I put 80% on front foot but be careful don't do a reverse pivot. However if you can keep from doing that hit it pure every time like this. I do this with an open stance on irons. And closed on driver
That's fantastic, Scott! There's nothing to reverse in this swing unless we erroneously allow our weight to transfer into the trail side at some point during the motion. Thanks for sharing your success with this method, and keep up the great work!! Tom
Hey Tom! I'm based out of NC, New to the game and have been loving your lessons and videos! If you'd ever like to have a newbie come on and be a student for you through your videos, I'd love to pay for the lessons and help out! I'm a lefty also, so it would be a fun challenge.

Tom: I went to the range after watching this video. The last few years my irons have been terrible: thin, fat, blade and no distance. I employed your 3 concepts today. It took awhile, but I started hitting "crispy" irons. I almost cried. It's been awhile. Still have trouble with the driver (fade). When you say tilt 45 degrees, do you mean your trunk leaning left 45 degrees or your shoulder pointing at the ball? I tried both and it was still an improvement . Way to keep it simple for us old guys.
That's awesome, Tim!! I'm so glad to know that this lesson helped you to such an extent; nice job incorporating it into your swing. With regard to tilting - and various other components - I do my best to convey multiple “feels” or thoughts throughout the swing wherever possible because we're all different physiologically and psychologically, and something that resonates effectively with one golfer may not necessarily work for another. However, no matter the variety of suggested feels/thoughts offered for a particular element of the swing, they are all directed at getting different golfers to achieve the desired positions, motions, and ball striking results. So yes - tilting your torso to the side while keeping your head in place or pointing your lead shoulder at the ball are two different feels for accomplishing the same action.

Tom, man... Today I felt true compression, after keeping arms straight as a rod, rotating the shoulders and getting some weight bias on the lead foot. For the 1st time, my 5-iron was flying 191yds every time, with 15deg launch, 121mph ball speed and 177 yd carry...not just once, but over and over again (a few loose ones crept in as I started getting overly comfortable....I concentrated back on the core of what you tell us.........and also focussed on the front of the ball, and I felt that little fella get squeezed into the face, heard that lovely sound and watched it streak its way down the range. 3-hybrid (M2) is getting me over 220yds, but my driver is falling apart (even with my lovey Graphite Design shafts)...anywhere between 149yds-242yds, but never know what i'm going to get. Set at 10.5deg but launching at anywhere from 6deg to 19deg, with the 242yds drive having a 16deg launch.........try to stay still but no idea what's going wrong. Driver is killing me.
Awesome! I'm very glad to know that this lesson resonated with you; excellent job incorporating it into your swing and putting it into practice!! As for the driver..... oftentimes when golfers are hitting everything well except for the driver - which is quite common early in the swing change process - it can be attributed to one of the following: 1) Their hips are not continuing their lateral slide through impact. This is common with the driver as the wider stance means that the hips have a greater distance to travel. If the hips stop moving laterally towards the target on the downswing then their rotation takes over, inhibiting any further necessary forward weight loading (we should be 80/20 forward halfway down, 90/10 at impact, and 95/5 in the finish), changing the low point and rerouting the club into a steeper angle of attack (AoA). This can produce a variety of undesirable results including fat and thin contact, topped shots and popups, straight pulls, and “banana” slices. Of great importance is keeping your upper torso/head in place (in other words, not moving towards the target from a face-on view) while the hips execute the lateral slide action. This preserves the swing center and the desired shallow AoA. 2) They are not allowing the length of the club to dictate the backswing path and are getting too steep as a result. The shaft of the driver is considerably longer than the other clubs and thus requires more of an around the body backswing as established by the shaft plane at address. It may "feel" flat as they take it back along the shaft plane for the first few feet, but as long as they maintain the "weight forward, shoulder down, and hands in" components while allowing the club to work around them, it should put them in the proper position at the top so they can attack the ball from the inside. (A good feel for that lead shoulder is "down and in, under the chin".) 3) Many believe - and some even teach - that we must try to "hit up on the ball" with the driver. However, consider that in our stock setup with the driver the hands are even with the inside of the lead thigh (as they are with all clubs when playing a standard shot) and our ball position is even with the inside of the heel of the lead foot. This presets a very slight degree of forward shaft lean with the driver. Beyond that, the ball is behind the zero-point of the swing (which is even with the lead shoulder), meaning that without any contrived manipulations the club will still be on its descent - albeit very close to flat - at impact. So, perhaps with the exception of folks with slower swing speeds - or those Long Drive participants teeing it extra high and hitting maybe 1-2 balls out of 10 onto a 60-yard wide "fairway" - in general the path is still ever so slightly down. In fact, the PGA Tour average with the driver is actually minus (e.g.: downward) 1.5 degrees - nearly level - and it should feel level - but slightly down nonetheless. (Here is an article on Ping’s website addressing this topic - ping.com/en-us/blogs/proving-grounds/optimal-launch-and-spin#:~:text=According%20to%20Trackman%2C%20PGA%20Tour,85%25%20ball%2Dflight%20laws ) Beyond that, the online school will provide the tools you need to start mashing the driver.

@SagutoGolf damn, I was expecting no more than a 'thanks for the comment.check this driving video link,and remember to join the academy'. Thanks Tom. You just smashed it with this feedback... and you mentioned something that I know I'm guilty of.... From face on, I have a habit of my head and torso following the club down the fairway, so that I'm either head leaning towards the target or falling over. (I stopped moving on the backswing, but it creeps back into the downswing)... Will that suck the speed, power and distance?

Outstanding and simple. Used these tips today at the driving range and the ball just exploded off my irons. Cant do a full swing yet - I think my old bad habits have too much room to creep back in still.

Three great swing moves Tom. I would add a 4th. As you turn in the downswing shift your lead hip towards the target. When coordinated properly with the hip turn this will add power to your ball contact. Probably the hardest of the 4 moves to nail but when done properly, the results are positive. Cheers
Glad you enjoyed it! There's only so much that can be covered in one YT episode. Here's a lesson on the lateral hip action in the downswing: ua-cam.com/video/dB4ItR3guGU/v-deo.html TS

At long last Tom not just excellent tips but a glance at great guitar playing.Im still waiting for you to tell me you are going to come to the uk as my guest and have a couple of rounds with me and inspire me to a great round

I've been struggling somewhat with inconsistent strikes this season, mostly thins. So today I tried to distribute weight more evenly, still favouring the left and hit almost every shot flush, like 25 in a row. So seems I had too much weight forward. I didn't change anything else, not ball position or anything. I suspect I got too far left before so hit it on top too much. Sound logical? Hope this solved it.
Could have been that you were moving your upper torso and head to the left when you were loading all that weight on the front side, Mattias, but as I regularly tell folks, let your ball striking and shot shape be your guide. By the way, there's an entire section of my online school dedicated to resolving common swing, contact, and ball flight issues. Have you looked into it? That's where - among many other courses and lessons covering various aspects of the game - you will find very detailed instruction and drills that take you through the entire swing step-by-step from setup to finish.

Very clear and straightforward explanation! Nonetheless, where I get lost a bit is that is seems like you roll your wrists in the backswing and I have been told not to? Please clarify.
There are no active rolling or handsy manipulations taking place at any point during this swing, Neil. The swing is a tilted circle, the circumference of which extends from the ball to above and behind our shoulders. As such, if we are going to remain on that circle it requires the hands and club to take a slightly inward path - not a disconnected snatch or roll to the inside - just a natural tracing of the outer rim or circumference. Here are some lessons related to this: - ua-cam.com/video/1gzcyrJ_yBw/v-deo.html - ua-cam.com/video/WxDD63quyk8/v-deo.html - ua-cam.com/video/ylVWSenTtOw/v-deo.html We create depth in this swing, and that enables us to harness the power of swinging on a circle through a seemingly effortless force known as angular momentum.

@@SagutoGolf Thank you and what you say makes sense because that is what my inclination is to do, but, others have told me otherwise. I will review the video that you reference and practice!
Love this Video!!! Broken down very well. I've watched a few of your videos, eric congorno series etc, this one is tops. Hope your OK I see your still limping a bit from that workout!
Hey, Tom. Really appreciate these videos. They have helped my game come along the past few months. This may be a shot in the dark but I had a question for you. I had been hitting KFC shots with my irons for the past few weeks but couldn’t hit my driver. The moment I started hitting my driver well I lost my irons. I think of them as the same swing. I know it’s hard to tell without looking at my swing but I didn’t know if anything would come to your mind for this problem. Thanks!
It really is the same swing for all clubs, Jacob; just some minor setup differences and naturally occurring shaft plane changes as we graduate up in club length from short irons to woods. In fact, here is a video of Stack and Tilt co-founder Mike Bennett hitting the driver: ua-cam.com/video/7fmtzyH3rsA/v-deo.html. It looks very similar to his iron swing, right?: ua-cam.com/video/SLjwU_1Cc7o/v-deo.html My shot in the dark guess is that when the driver is working you may be swinging too flat with the irons, and when the irons are working you may be too steep with the driver. The length of the shaft dictates the swing plane. For example, your lead shoulder will be pointing downward at a steeper angle for a 9 iron than it will for a 3 wood. If you think about pointing your lead shoulder at the ball as suggested in this lesson - ua-cam.com/video/Jl_4vopx3xA/v-deo.html - then your plane will automatically adjust to the length of each club. By the way, have you considered the comprehensive, structured, sequential learning platform of my online school? That's where - among many other courses and lessons covering various aspects of the game - you will find very detailed instruction and drills that take you through the entire swing step-by-step from setup to finish.

Right. This does work. Fun
Tom i am going to sign up for your lessons.
Just want to pop in and say what many others have said. You are by far the best online instructor. I have spent too many countless hours watching many different instructors and tips but your approach to golf makes soooo much sense and makes it so easy. I became a member and have been working through golf swing simplified and it’s truly the most amazing stuff. My swing is already soooo much better and I’m hitting so much more consistent. The way you describe stuff makes it easy to understand and you can really see results. Thanks so much for what you do and being light hearted and not taking yourself too seriously while you do it. Appreciate you a lot!
@GWYN - I sincerely appreciate your kind words regarding my instruction content and style as well as your testimonial for the online school!! I'm very glad to know the extent of your improvement and your renewed level of exuberance for this great game; that enjoyment factor is ultimately what this is all about.

Tom, I’ve watched a lot of golf instructional videos from many instructors. And since I’ve come across your videos, I now have stopped searching for other instructors and no longer watch anyone else. Your instructions have really helped me improve my game. Was shooting in the upper 90s to low 100s. Now I’m in the 80s constantly. Lowest round is 82. I’m confident I’ll break 80 this year
That's awesome, Donald!! 💪💪
I'm very glad to know that my instruction is resonating with you; excellent job incorporating it into your swing and putting it into play!!
Thanks so much for sharing your improvement, keep up the great work, and we'll see you soon in the 70's!!

Thank you Tom, I’ve only been golf golfing for a year and if it wasn’t for me stumbling across your video’s I’d probably be in golf limbo forever. After 2 weeks of following your technique I’ve literally added 15-20 yards on all my irons and the consistency is unreal. Crispy KFC!

I know I'm a little late to the game but I stumbled upon your channel yesterday, watched 5 to 6 videos and I went straight to the range right after. For the first time in a long time I didn't come home dejected and ready to quit golf. I have struggled with the coming over the top motion in my swing, just a few of your videos and 1 range session has changed my outlook on the game. I really appreciate your simple approach to the game, thank you for your great content.
Welcome to "the dark side", Leslie, where the spoils of "conventional" instruction - chronic inconsistency, physical pain, and endless frustration - yield to the fruits of body-friendly enjoyment of this great game for a lifetime. 😆

B Hogan would be proud of you. You teach golf simple and make it fun, you rascal. I love the driving range because I get to not only teach myself the way you teach, but I can pass enough to others. I spend hours on the range, and only a portion of the time on the golf course. And my weak spot is between the two ears. Once I learn to overcome my thinking process and actually having fun on the golf course… “ welcome to the wonderful world of golf”…😂
Thanks so much for that! I sincerely appreciate your kind words, and I'm very glad to know that my instruction content and teaching style are resonating with you!!
As for "between the ears", an excellent book that may help you with this is "Fearless Golf: Conquering the Mental Game" by Dr. Gio Valiante. Another book that I like is "Play Your Best Golf Now" by Lynn Marriott & Pia Nilsson.

No matter what I tried or which Channel i watched for tips I couldn’t improve my golf game at all and was about to quit, then a few months ago I came across saguto golf and I started making progress on the right path! Clean ball striking no more duffing it! By far the best golf channel on UA-cam, love the videos please keep them coming, life’s to short to play bad Golf!
I appreciate your kind words, Tom, and I'm very glad to know that my instruction helped you rescue yourself from the ledge!! Life is indeed too short to play bad golf, but we definitely don't want to quit this great game either.

A church friend just told me about you. I haven't played golf in years now but I think I might try again thanks to the first few minutes of this video. He said it changed his game too. I'm 68 so I'm afraid I might hurt something going out cold so making the swing a little simpler will go a long way for me. Thanks. I might actually go again. I loved my old golf outings even though they were mostly frustrating events most of the time.
Welcome back to this great game, and thanks to your friend for sharing my channel with you!!
As for "hurting something", a significant percentage of my online school members are in their 60's, 70's, and 80's - i.e.: a smorgasbord of chronic ailments, physical limitations, back/shoulder/knee/hip pain, arthritis, and joint replacements - and they are overwhelmingly elated to experience the dramatic pain-free game improvement, seemingly effortless power, and resulting enjoyment that this swing affords them. It all begins with a proper setup which provides for a free-flowing motion. Upon that good foundation a repeatable swing which produces consistently crispy impact can be built.

@@SagutoGolf Thanks for the reply Tom. It was the part about keeping your weight more on your front leg that caught my attention. I had always been taught (mainly by myself) that I had to shift my weight by loading up on my back (right) leg and transferring my weight to my front leg during the swing. This ends up in a hip sway the harder to try to do it and is probably why I never consistently had a divot in front of the ball. I'm looking forward to getting out there and trying this simpler method although it will probably need to wait until after the new year when the weather isn't so great down here in Louisiana.
@@SagutoGolf and yes, I do have a right hip replacement and I blame it on my long term inefficient golf swing.
@millstap - Don't blame yourself! Even if you had subscribed to "conventional" instruction during your golf formative years, you still would have likely been taught to shift back and forth. How interesting and sad it is that with all the advances in equipment, technology, golf course grooming, etc. the average golfer still struggles to break 100. So many misconstrued and/or misguided teachings - such as turning the shoulders level while independently lifting the club, shifting into and torquing against a firm trail side, actively rolling the hands through impact, etc. - have relegated generations of golfers to the vast abyss of inconsistency and chronic frustration (and chronic back/knee/hip pain as well). I’m doing my best here to clear these up one by one and put an end to this madness!
You are a preacher on a mission, amen! Shot 73 on week two of working the shoulder down and keeping the weight forwards. It works! Thanks
AWESOME!! 💪💪

Tom... you mentioned re-routing nonsense ... are you simply taking the club back "in the slot" and leaving it there?? then returning the club to the ball on the same path while maintaining a slight stack n tilt posture.... thanks for some awesome content... I really enjoy your approach to the swing and the direction of simplifying and de-mystifying good ball striking.... you are awesome..
It's the beauty of a one-plane motion, @les moore! Here's an episode I released on this very topic: ua-cam.com/video/0IxI_qmaF_A/v-deo.html

I've been working on this method for a while now and it's coming around real good. My score has gone from mid to high 90's to the low 80's. Thanks Tom for some great content.
Nice to hear from you again, Les. Indeed, you've been commenting here periodically for quite some time, and I'm very glad to learn of your progress with the swing and the resulting dramatic improvement in scoring!!
Thanks for sharing your success, keep it crispy, and have fun out there!!
Tom
If there is one thing that makes it come faster... work on alignment outside of the golf course as well. Use the line on the ball for every shot when you are out on course. If you're not playing for score, practice the shit out of alignment. It'll save you so much frustration.
@@NonnyStrikes absolutely, I've been working on that as well.
Your videos inspired me to pick up the game again after about 5 years of not playing. I lost compassion for the game after inconsistent shots, rounds and frustrations. What you teach works. After only practicing a couple times with everything I've learned from you, I shot a 43 on nine holes the other day after basically 5 years off! Blown away, thank you very much.

I don’t normally comment…but, I tried golf 5 years ago and just couldn’t get the hang of hitting the ball clean. I’ve recently retired so thought I’d try again.

I have been playing 6 months now. I had an idea of what a golf swing should look like, and how it should feel.
2 months ago I tried Sagutos technique but felt way too uncomfortable/foreign so I dropped it and went back to my old swing. Fact remained I still struggled with consistency and distance.
So A week ago I committed to his channel and technique, signing up to his email chain. because I just cant afford lessons. Boy oh boy!!! Today I smashed shot after shots at the range. I gained 40 + yards with my 7 iron. Could never get it past 130yards. Today I consistently hit it 175yards.
I am so happy and cant wait to take it to the course. I would like Tom to share some tips using the driver and his technique. Its brilliant!!!
Happy to share the proof, took videos and have stats from the launch monitor.
That's awesome, William - I'm thrilled for your improvement and very glad to know that my instruction is resonating well with you!! Nice job building it into your swing!!
It is essentially the same swing with every club; just some minor setup differences and naturally occurring shaft plane changes as we graduate up in club length from short irons to woods. In fact, here is a video of Stack and Tilt co-founder Mike Bennett hitting the driver: ua-cam.com/video/7fmtzyH3rsA/v-deo.html. It looks very similar to his iron swing, right?: ua-cam.com/video/SLjwU_1Cc7o/v-deo.html If you search the word "drive" on this channel you'll see some related content. Additionally, in a number of my recent channel episodes you may notice that I demonstrate the exact same lesson with the driver towards the end of the video.
Upon learning this swing properly you will be harnessing the tremendous power source known as "angular momentum". This is the reason my students and online school members of all age ranges end up bombing it farther than they ever had previously.
Thanks for your support in sharing your success and keep up the great work!!
Tom
Very helpful. Thanks for the simplicity of the suggestions.
My pleasure! I'm very glad to know that this lesson resonated well with you!!
Tom
Tom, I can’t thank I you enough for your alternative approach to the golf swing. I spent hundreds in golf lessons and was still inconsistent and hacking my way through golf courses. For the first time I am actually enjoying golf and seeing immediate results from practicing what you teach. My contact is turning into crispy KFC!
Thank you very much for the effort and humour you put into your videos. I have been having a great time learning from you
I sincerely appreciate the kind words, Stephen, and I'm very glad to know that my instruction content and style are resonating with you!!
With regard to this being an "alternative approach", the way I see it we can either simply put the already existing natural laws to work for us, or we can twist, morph, torque, contrive, and otherwise mess with the principles of physics and geometry in an effort to better suit some ill-conceived whims, all the while recognizing that at the point of impact those pre-existing laws are going to be the only things that matter to the ball!
The swing system I teach is based on data from the game’s best golf ball strikers. Unfortunately, such sorcery from this dark underworld of golf instruction rarely finds its way to the mainstream because if too many folks found out about it the mainstream would then be rendered irrelevant....... 😎
Thanks for sharing your success, keep up the great work, and keep it crispy!!

You are a best golf mechanism teacher in the word. You made me a single handicapped player. I scored 78, 79, 76 very awsome.
Wow - that is some fantastic playing!!!
Thanks very much for your kind words and for sharing your success. keep up the great work and have fun out there!!

Keeping the backswing inside forces your lead shoulder in to a more leaned position! What a great way to feel how your shoulders should be oriented in the backswing and feel the proper tilt action. Awesome video man!
Yes!! I'm glad to know that this lesson resonated well with you, Hogan.
Keep up the great work!!

This is awesome! So simple, to the point, AND it all works. I am hitting the ball better than I ever have. Believe it or not, it's true that by applying these tips, you use a lot less effort and the ball flies off the clubface. Now I have to regulate my clubs, because I am hitting each club further than before. Thanks Tom!!!!

I have been playing 6 months now. I had an idea of a golf swing should look like, and how it should feel.
2 months ago I tried Sagutos technique but fwlt way too uncomfortable/foreign. Fact remained I still struggled with consistency and distance.
A week ago I committed to his channel because I just cant afford lessons. Boy oh boy!!! Today I smashed shot after shots at the range. I gained 40 + yards with my 7 iron. Could never get it past 130yards. Today I consistently hit it 175yards.
I am so happy and cant wait to take it to the course. I would like Tom to share some tips using the driver and his technique. Its brilliant!!!
That's awesome, William!! I'm very glad to know that my instruction is resonating well with you - nice job incorporating it into your swing!!
With regard to the driver, it’s essentially the same swing with every club; just some minor setup differences and naturally occurring shaft plane changes as we graduate up in club length from short irons to woods. In fact, here is a video of Stack and Tilt co-founder Mike Bennett hitting the driver: ua-cam.com/video/7fmtzyH3rsA/v-deo.html. It looks very similar to his iron swing, right?: ua-cam.com/video/SLjwU_1Cc7o/v-deo.html If you search the word "drive" on this channel you'll see some related content. Upon learning this swing properly you will be harnessing the tremendous power source known as "angular momentum". This is the reason my students and online school members of all age ranges end up bombing it farther than they ever had previously.
Speaking of which, if you'd really like to own this swing through your entire bag please consider enrolling in my online school as so many folks across the globe are now playing the best golf of their lives as a result. The school's intuitive curriculum greatly simplifies the entire process through succinct, step-by-step videos, plus there’s so much additional guided instruction courses and content on the many other aspects of the game. Here's a link if you'd like additional info: saguto.golf. And here's a link to my FREE mini course if you'd like to learn more about this swing in a structured manner: go.saguto.golf/

Tom, I took a lesson with you about (2) years ago, and in concert with all your videos, I am having a blast playing golf now. Thanks for that! So I'm at a driving range in Dillsburg PA and a guy is struggling and I couldn't help myself. I started telling him some of your basics and to look up Tom Seguto on YT. His response was: Tom Seguto? I sed yeah, I took a lesson with him down in Myrtle Beach. He sez....I graduated with Tom Seguto!!
Small world huh?
How comes he was struggling then? He say Tom was no good. Better not because Tom is absolutely crispy KFC class.
That makes no sense. I just said how much Tom helped me. The guy was not following Tom and I'm pretty sure that he was not aware of his YT channel. He simply recognized his name and sed that he graduated with Tom. Who, if I'm not mistaken is from right down the road from Dillsburg PA around Gettysburg PA.
@@gregstokes3991 argh I see, he didn’t graduate from Tom’s golf academy then? I misread, I humbly apologise.
@@MarkHinchliffe1979 Oh I see, no, he meant High School I believe. I guess I should have sed that. I wasn't even thinking about the academy.
LOL! That's awesome, Greg!!

Thanks for sharing your story. I'm thrilled to learn of your progress and enjoyment!!

Hi Tom.
Great video as usual. I’ve taken your course. It was the best hundred dollars I’ve spent. Over the years I’ve taken many golf lessons and gone to two formal golf instruction schools. None of them helped me as much as your videos have. My scores have come down from so far over 100 that it wasn’t even worth keeping track, to the mid to low 90s with occasional games into the 80s. Putting is the last piece of the puzzle. My one suggestion related to the above video was that you didn’t mention keeping the right elbow tucked in. I suspect that the concept of hands in will result in the right elbow tucking properly. But for me that was the main key to improving my golf swing and I would hate for people to not have that idea.
Thanks again, Golf is ❤a lot more fun for me now
@John David Stefanelli - Thank you for your kind words and your testimonial for the online school!! I'm very glad to know that you are benefiting from the instruction and enjoying this great game more as a result; that is ultimately what this is all about.
I did my best to price the school at a "no-brainer" level given the quality and effectiveness of the delivered product, and I sincerely appreciate you recognizing that and taking the time to "shout it from the rooftop".
As for the "magic Elbow", there is only so much I can talk about in any given YT episode. If someone is looking for comprehensive swing instruction, then the school is he place to be

Paused at 7:37 Mcilroy's flexibility is pretty impressive. His chest is pretty much pointing upwards, yet his head is still locked on the ball, his lead arm is almost pinned to his chest... that's insane.
Many Tour players are certainly blessed in that regard. The good news is that you don't need the flexibility of a Romanian gymnast - or even of this far less pliable golf instructor - to execute this swing and experience great ball striking!

At 64, you've really helped me keep some power in my game. Even with back problems and other "getting old" issues, I'm still getting better. 👍🏻 Thanks!
That's awesome, though not surprising as a significant percentage of my online school members are in their 60's, 70's, and 80's - i.e.: a smorgasbord of chronic ailments, physical limitations, back/shoulder/knee/hip pain, arthritis, and joint replacements - and they are overwhelmingly elated to experience the dramatic pain-free game improvement, seemingly effortless power, and resulting enjoyment that this swing affords them.
Thanks for sharing your success and keep up the great work!!

Thanks Tom, your content is really helpful. I have started playing again after 15yrs, lol I have to learn everything again 😊
Let's get you in the online school as previously mentioned, Angela. It'll get you caught up and on the proper path in a hurry!!
Tom
Tom, would you say the set up is a braced tilt as one instructor I followed used to say. He also said to have the "tush" in the next country behind you so the arms could be tossed upwards. I feel bracing against the left side with the tush out naturally would produce the swing you demonstrate. Also,on a guitar note do you like Mark Knopfler's guitar playing? I do.
Hi Jon,
I have taught the feel of the lead side being like a fixed door hinge, so I suppose that would be a similar concept. However, this is a one-plane swing so I do not advocate any independent lifting - or "tossing up" - of the arms. Instead, in this swing the lead arm should match the tilted shoulder plane at the top. Here's a link to my FREE mini-course “The Top 3 Things You Need to Be a Great Ball Striker” in case you’re interested in learning about the swing system I teach in a more structured manner: go.saguto.golf/
Yes - Knopfler is a fabulous guitarist!

@@SagutoGolf Yessir! I signed up for the year!! I have been working on my relationship with the ball and when I keep my back-arm quiet and focus on that relationship things go really well! I am still struggling with the finish (extension) so I will be working on that! Looking forward to the online content! Cheers! Matt
That's awesome, Matt! Here's some preliminary advice to help you get off to a good start in the school:
1) Regardless of a member's skill level, this swing necessitates a complete reboot for someone transitioning from a shift & lift swing (which is typically the case), and therefore it is imperative that one take sufficient time to ensure that the fundamental components are mastered. From the ground up there is nothing superfluous in the Stack & Tilt swing - in other words, everything with a purpose, and a purpose for everything. (For example, contrary to shift & lift where you may be taught to keep your trail foot perpendicular to the target line as a means of "creating resistance" in your trail side, in S&T we flare both feet out 10-20 degrees in order to facilitate a free flowing, inclined hip and shoulder turn.) I cannot emphasize this enough, as frustrations predominantly occur when students jump ahead in the curriculum without properly dedicating themselves to the foundational base upon which our consistently repeatable, powerful, low maintenance swing must be built. Chapter 1 of the Golf Swing Simplified program (GSS) and Part I of Get Out & Go Play (GOGP) both address this.
2a) GSS: One of the many great things about this swing is that you can achieve solid ball striking even at the most basic levels. This is why I oftentimes will suggest that students park themselves on Chapter 2 of the GSS course for an extended period of time after locking down Chapter 1's foundational elements. Chapter 2 reinforces the body motions and the weight-forward component, and it culminates with what I call "The Best Golf Swing Practice Drill of All Time". Work yourself sequentially and gradually through the chapter, and then commit yourself to that drill in Lesson 2.8. Learn it. Practice it. Master it. You can even use this partially abbreviated swing on the course and play quite well with it as it will provide plenty of distance. (It actually is the full swing minus just a couple of power accumulators.) Once you've got that down, you will be well prepared to move forward in the curriculum and well on your way towards taking ownership of YOUR swing!
2b) GOGP: This quick-start program is exactly as it sounds - it is designed to fast-track you out onto the course so you can have fun - and success - playing as you learn! Should you choose this path, everything in #1 above still applies, and as implied above in 2a you will still want to work through it sequentially and gradually, mastering each lesson before moving ahead to the next one. In this program, Drill #5 - The Flying Wedge is the one you'll want to park yourself on and nail down.
3) Also, as you progress always keep in mind the V1 Swing Video Analysis service, an effective and inexpensive service that I highly recommend to everyone in the school. I liken it to bringing your swing into the shop for a tune-up or minor repair. Scheduling one on a quarterly basis for preventive maintenance will do wonders for keeping things humming along nicely, and it's also a great tool for pinpointing and resolving any issues that arise. The process involves downloading the free V1 app and then submitting two videos to me through the app - one down-the-line (captured from your stance line, not the target line) and the other face-on. You'll find more information about the V1 Analysis halfway down this page on the Saguto.Golf site: saguto.golf/p/sagutogolf
4) Finally, please migrate over to the SagutoGolf Community Forum - which is included in your online school enrollment - and begin engaging with your fellow members. It only takes a minute or two to enroll - just go to your “My Courses” screen and you’ll see a link to get started. Once signed in you’ll be able to access and participate in the great dialogue that we are having on a variety of topics.

I really think you’ll enjoy it!
I look forward to assisting you through the school’s structured lessons and drills towards building a consistent, low maintenance, powerful, body-friendly swing that will bring your enjoyment of this great game to a new level!
Tom
This is exactly how I have been hitting flush irons for years. I never saw your video before but this is what I do. I put 80% on front foot but be careful don't do a reverse pivot. However if you can keep from doing that hit it pure every time like this. I do this with an open stance on irons. And closed on driver
That's fantastic, Scott!
There's nothing to reverse in this swing unless we erroneously allow our weight to transfer into the trail side at some point during the motion.
Thanks for sharing your success with this method, and keep up the great work!!

Tom: I went to the range after watching this video. The last few years my irons have been terrible: thin, fat, blade and no distance. I employed your 3 concepts today. It took awhile, but I started hitting "crispy" irons. I almost cried. It's been awhile. Still have trouble with the driver (fade). When you say tilt 45 degrees, do you mean your trunk leaning left 45 degrees or your shoulder pointing at the ball? I tried both and it was still an improvement . Way to keep it simple for us old guys.
P.S. Tom: I liked the skynyrd licks. Usually when I hit my ball out of bounds over the fence it resembles a "Free Bird"
That's awesome, Tim!! I'm so glad to know that this lesson helped you to such an extent; nice job incorporating it into your swing.
With regard to tilting - and various other components - I do my best to convey multiple “feels” or thoughts throughout the swing wherever possible because we're all different physiologically and psychologically, and something that resonates effectively with one golfer may not necessarily work for another. However, no matter the variety of suggested feels/thoughts offered for a particular element of the swing, they are all directed at getting different golfers to achieve the desired positions, motions, and ball striking results.
So yes - tilting your torso to the side while keeping your head in place or pointing your lead shoulder at the ball are two different feels for accomplishing the same action.
Thanks for sharing your success, keep it crispy, and have fun out there!!

@@SagutoGolf Thanks Tom
Nice guitar and playing..I’ve got a nice herd of them…more than a full set of clubs…
Great lesson too…
Thanks - I'm glad to know that you enjoyed this "lesson and a show"! 😎
I wouldn't say I'm quite up to a full bag worth of axes yet, but it's slowly getting there...
Rock on!

Love how you keep it simple
Thanks Salvatore! I'm very glad to know that my instruction and teaching style are resonating well with you!!

Tom , it appears that you use an oversized wrap style grip ? What do you recommend ? Thank you for all that you bring to the table. I appreciate it!
Hi Terry,
I’m using JumboMax grips. I personally love the feel as well as how they help to keep my hands quiet through the zone. They’re not necessarily for everyone - and my fingers are a bit longer than average - so I routinely tell folks to "try before you buy."
I'm very glad to know that you're enjoying my instruction!!

Great insight and BTW the course is also terrific and a bargain, exceeded my expectations by far. Thanks!
@YukonJ - I'm very glad to know that my instruction is resonating well with you, and thanks for your kind words regarding the online school!! I did my best to price the school at a "no-brainer" level given the quality and effectiveness of the delivered product, and I sincerely appreciate you recognizing that and taking the time to "shout it from the rooftop"!!
Keep up the great work and have fun out there!!

Tom, man...
Today I felt true compression, after keeping arms straight as a rod, rotating the shoulders and getting some weight bias on the lead foot.
For the 1st time, my 5-iron was flying 191yds every time, with 15deg launch, 121mph ball speed and 177 yd carry...not just once, but over and over again (a few loose ones crept in as I started getting overly comfortable....I concentrated back on the core of what you tell us.........and also focussed on the front of the ball, and I felt that little fella get squeezed into the face, heard that lovely sound and watched it streak its way down the range.
3-hybrid (M2) is getting me over 220yds, but my driver is falling apart (even with my lovey Graphite Design shafts)...anywhere between 149yds-242yds, but never know what i'm going to get.
Set at 10.5deg but launching at anywhere from 6deg to 19deg, with the 242yds drive having a 16deg launch.........try to stay still but no idea what's going wrong.
Driver is killing me.
Awesome! I'm very glad to know that this lesson resonated with you; excellent job incorporating it into your swing and putting it into practice!!
As for the driver..... oftentimes when golfers are hitting everything well except for the driver - which is quite common early in the swing change process - it can be attributed to one of the following:
1) Their hips are not continuing their lateral slide through impact. This is common with the driver as the wider stance means that the hips have a greater distance to travel. If the hips stop moving laterally towards the target on the downswing then their rotation takes over, inhibiting any further necessary forward weight loading (we should be 80/20 forward halfway down, 90/10 at impact, and 95/5 in the finish), changing the low point and rerouting the club into a steeper angle of attack (AoA). This can produce a variety of undesirable results including fat and thin contact, topped shots and popups, straight pulls, and “banana” slices.
Of great importance is keeping your upper torso/head in place (in other words, not moving towards the target from a face-on view) while the hips execute the lateral slide action. This preserves the swing center and the desired shallow AoA.
2) They are not allowing the length of the club to dictate the backswing path and are getting too steep as a result. The shaft of the driver is considerably longer than the other clubs and thus requires more of an around the body backswing as established by the shaft plane at address. It may "feel" flat as they take it back along the shaft plane for the first few feet, but as long as they maintain the "weight forward, shoulder down, and hands in" components while allowing the club to work around them, it should put them in the proper position at the top so they can attack the ball from the inside. (A good feel for that lead shoulder is "down and in, under the chin".)
3) Many believe - and some even teach - that we must try to "hit up on the ball" with the driver. However, consider that in our stock setup with the driver the hands are even with the inside of the lead thigh (as they are with all clubs when playing a standard shot) and our ball position is even with the inside of the heel of the lead foot. This presets a very slight degree of forward shaft lean with the driver. Beyond that, the ball is behind the zero-point of the swing (which is even with the lead shoulder), meaning that without any contrived manipulations the club will still be on its descent - albeit very close to flat - at impact. So, perhaps with the exception of folks with slower swing speeds - or those Long Drive participants teeing it extra high and hitting maybe 1-2 balls out of 10 onto a 60-yard wide "fairway" - in general the path is still ever so slightly down. In fact, the PGA Tour average with the driver is actually minus (e.g.: downward) 1.5 degrees - nearly level - and it should feel level - but slightly down nonetheless. (Here is an article on Ping’s website addressing this topic - ping.com/en-us/blogs/proving-grounds/optimal-launch-and-spin#:~:text=According%20to%20Trackman%2C%20PGA%20Tour,85%25%20ball%2Dflight%20laws )
Beyond that, the online school will provide the tools you need to start mashing the driver. Thousands of men and women from across the globe - including many seasoned, low-handicap, competitive players and spanning all age ranges from junior to super-senior - are now enjoying the best golf of their lives as a result, and I'm happy to let their unsolicited testimonials tell the story: saguto.golf/p/sagutogolfreviews The school's intuitive curriculum greatly simplifies the entire process through succinct, step-by-step videos, plus there’s so much additional guided instruction courses and content on the many other aspects of the game.

@SagutoGolf damn, I was expecting no more than a 'thanks for the comment.check this driving video link,and remember to join the academy'.
Thanks Tom. You just smashed it with this feedback... and you mentioned something that I know I'm guilty of....
From face on, I have a habit of my head and torso following the club down the fairway, so that I'm either head leaning towards the target or falling over. (I stopped moving on the backswing, but it creeps back into the downswing)... Will that suck the speed, power and distance?
Quality instructions paisan.
Grazie!

I wish I knew this when I first started 30+ years ago. My game (except my putting) has improved soooo much.
Better now than another 30 years, right Kal?? 😎
Thanks for sharing your success and keep up the great work!!

Outstanding and simple. Used these tips today at the driving range and the ball just exploded off my irons. Cant do a full swing yet - I think my old bad habits have too much room to creep back in still. I truly believe once I develop enough muscle memory to take a full swing my golf game will get way more enjoyable.
Well done - I'm glad this lesson performed well for you!!

Three great swing moves Tom. I would add a 4th. As you turn in the downswing shift your lead hip towards the target. When coordinated properly with the hip turn this will add power to your ball contact. Probably the hardest of the 4 moves to nail but when done properly, the results are positive. Cheers
Glad you enjoyed it!

I've been struggling somewhat with inconsistent strikes this season, mostly thins. So today I tried to distribute weight more evenly, still favouring the left and hit almost every shot flush, like 25 in a row. So seems I had too much weight forward. I didn't change anything else, not ball position or anything. I suspect I got too far left before so hit it on top too much. Sound logical?
Hope this solved it.
Could have been that you were moving your upper torso and head to the left when you were loading all that weight on the front side, Mattias, but as I regularly tell folks, let your ball striking and shot shape be your guide.

Very clear and straightforward explanation! Nonetheless, where I get lost a bit is that is seems like you roll your wrists in the backswing and I have been told not to? Please clarify.
There are no active rolling or handsy manipulations taking place at any point during this swing, Neil. The swing is a tilted circle, the circumference of which extends from the ball to above and behind our shoulders. As such, if we are going to remain on that circle it requires the hands and club to take a slightly inward path - not a disconnected snatch or roll to the inside - just a natural tracing of the outer rim or circumference. Here are some lessons related to this:
- ua-cam.com/video/1gzcyrJ_yBw/v-deo.html
- ua-cam.com/video/WxDD63quyk8/v-deo.html
- ua-cam.com/video/ylVWSenTtOw/v-deo.html
We create depth in this swing, and that enables us to harness the power of swinging on a circle through a seemingly effortless force known as angular momentum.

Hey, Tom. Really appreciate these videos. They have helped my game come along the past few months. This may be a shot in the dark but I had a question for you. I had been hitting KFC shots with my irons for the past few weeks but couldn’t hit my driver. The moment I started hitting my driver well I lost my irons. I think of them as the same swing. I know it’s hard to tell without looking at my swing but I didn’t know if anything would come to your mind for this problem. Thanks!
It really is the same swing for all clubs, Jacob; just some minor setup differences and naturally occurring shaft plane changes as we graduate up in club length from short irons to woods. In fact, here is a video of Stack and Tilt co-founder Mike Bennett hitting the driver: ua-cam.com/video/7fmtzyH3rsA/v-deo.html. It looks very similar to his iron swing, right?: ua-cam.com/video/SLjwU_1Cc7o/v-deo.html
My shot in the dark guess is that when the driver is working you may be swinging too flat with the irons, and when the irons are working you may be too steep with the driver. The length of the shaft dictates the swing plane. For example, your lead shoulder will be pointing downward at a steeper angle for a 9 iron than it will for a 3 wood. If you think about pointing your lead shoulder at the ball as suggested in this lesson - ua-cam.com/video/Jl_4vopx3xA/v-deo.html - then your plane will automatically adjust to the length of each club.
