You Need to Know this Shocking TRUTH About Your Grip to Hit Consistently Solid Golf Shots
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 чер 2024
- This is a life changing golf lesson that will get you understanding one of the most important truths about the golf swing and your grip - and how to hit consistently solid, compressed golf shots. Your grip has a big impact on your golf swing and ball flight. This video will show you everything you need to know to hit solid golf shots with real buttery contact.
Most amateur golfers get into a poor impact position that causes them to hit behind the golf ball or hit inconsistent golf shots that fly all over the place. A lot of golf swing problems can be traced back to the grip. How you grip the golf club affects how you swing the club into impact.
Most golfers slice the ball because of a steep and/or over the top golf swing. To fix this problem, most players change to a strong grip. The problem here is that they fixed the grip when it's the golf swing that needs to be fixed. Essentially golfers put a band-aid on their golf swing by using a strong grip - but this strong grip prevents you from really compressing the golf ball. This video will show you what you need to do to really compress it by thinking about your grip and your impact position.
I made this video in response to the previous week's video "Don't Make This HUGE Grip Mistake (Most Golfers Get This Wrong)" because there were a ton of questions and comments. This golf tip fixes the confusion and gets you to understand why and how your grip is so important when it comes to ball striking.

I am Tom Saguto, PGA Member and founder of SagutoGolf. Thank you for visiting my instructional page where you can find how to get on the fast track to improving your golfing abilities. Whether you are a seasoned golfing veteran looking for a quick swing tune-up after an on-course emergency, or a beginner just looking to get the most out of your golfing experience, I am here to help you achieve your golfing goals.
My mission as your swing doctor is simple, to help you maximize your enjoyment in game of golf. Because, let’s face it, golf is a hard game.
My philosophy is wholly based on the student having a fun, meaningful experience in a frustrating and complicated game where potential lifelong golfers either quit because it is too difficult or that they experience some form of swing-related pain or discomfort. I mitigate these problems by focusing entirely on the student’s needs and goals while teaching a golf swing method that ultimately takes stress off of the common pain areas of the swing.

Now I finally know why Hogan played with a neutral left hand and weak right. I have played golf for 54 years so far and needed to solve the problem of a climbing handicap, now up to 10!!
I think this may be it. I have just reverted to this grip I first used in 1967 and the effect is phenomenal. Plus 10% average on distance, no.more hooked drives and the completely unexpected bonus that I should have anticipated; I can finally flight the ball again!!!
What if I hit most irons (7-5) straight to right?
Oooooooooooooooooooooo3oooo😮p😮😮
Ou😮😮😮😮😮😮😅
Firstly, I must apologize for getting a wrong first impression of Sagudo Golf. Been golfing for over 60 years, from a single to ham and egging it at 70. My initial viewings of your videos gave me an impression of a wanna be comedian who happens to be a PGA teaching pro. During the last 5 years I almost quit the game. My swing was self taught and only improved because I played and practiced every day for a couple of years, when I was in school. Anyway, before I quit, I promised myself to read Ben Hogan's 'Five Lessons'. This is where I realized you knew what you were talking about and that you simplified what Mr. Hogan was demonstrating, not necessarily saying. Just like Mo Norman, there wasn't high tech slow motion cameras and 3D simulators. So these legends could only explain how they FELT, not what was really happening, until you explained it. I'm back to COMPRESSING THE BALL and even shaping shots. P.S. I now see your humor, but more so, your ability to read your students and explain lessons in a way that we can UNDERSTAND them(for me, dumb it down). You're a good listener, interupter and eloquent communicator without being boring or too wordy(The Brits like to talk). Your lessons are on point and entertaining. I am now enjoying golf again. Mr. Sagudo, THANK YOU.
Apology not necessary but accepted nonetheless! 😎 I sincerely appreciate your kind words, and I'm very glad to know that my instruction content and teaching style are now resonating well with you.
With regard to Mr. Hogan and others of his generation and prior, you are spot on regarding the absence of technology and therefore our having to rely on what they communicated as their "feels", which are certainly unique to each of them individually just as our swing feels are to us. Mr. Hogan delivered phenomenal and timeless instructional value and continues to do so posthumously. But there are just so many misconceptions about his swing out there - particularly within the realm of misunderstood or misapplied instruction - that have sadly relegated generations of golfers to the vast abyss of chronic frustration. I'm doing my best here to clear these up one by one and put an end to this madness by taking what Mr. Hogan conveys in his teachings, applying it to the reality of what he actually did in his swing, and translating it into something we all can learn well from. Because if we can get Hogan right there are obviously tremendously effective swing keys to be garnered.
Thank you again for your comment, keep up the great work, and keep enjoying yourself out there as that is ultimately what this should be all about!!
Tom
Just want to add that I had the same initial impression, but it’s clear that you’re a very thoughtful person and care deeply about the game and giving excellent instruction. The fact that you make it fun only adds to the experience. Life is short and should be enjoyable. Thanks Tom, for the humor and lightheartedness, but also for the excellent and practical instruction. I’m learning a lot and having a lot of fun along the way. Long live the crispy KFC! 😊
Aloha!!!???..why didn't you understand Tom in the first place..and now you understand him!?..you must be an articulate listener to understand... TRUTH!!
SAGUTO! How do you misspell the guy's name when it's literally right in front of you while you're typing?
Man I just got 5 pars on 9 holes (and on a cold day! No mulligans, no gimmies). New personal best score for me (41), thanks for all the help Tom!
FANTASTIC, @DJ-Flights!! Congrats on your personal best!! However, I'm betting this new record won't last very long...😎
Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work!!
Tom
Congratulations!
@@SagutoGolf 😖
So happy for you bro.
Ok… I am “new” to golf. Sure I have “played” golf before, been to the driving range before. But, I have never decided hey I’m gonna start playing golf. I’ve been an athlete my whole life. Played QB in college bla bla bla. I’m now a retired veteran and need something to fill my days. With that being said. After watching this video I want to say thank you. You made sense and were very entertaining. I never thought in a million years that Steve from Full House would have made my day. Thank you. You may see me sign up for a lesson one day. Great video!!!
I sincerely appreciate your kind words, Anthony, and I'm very glad to know that my lesson content and teaching style are resonating with you and providing clarity in the muddied, overly complicated, oft-conflicting realm of golf instruction.
Thanks for your message, and more importantly - thank you for your service!

I've gone from a 16 Handicap to a 9 watching your lessons! Thank you 😊
That's fabulous, @TheOlsjvd! I'm very glad to learn that my channel's instruction has benefited your game to such an extent!! You've obviously done an excellent job digesting the lesson content, incorporating it into your swing, and taking ownership of it!!

Tom
My scores haven’t shown up yet due to blow up holes, but knowing why I blew up and fixing it mid round is an amazing feeling. Erasing 30 years of bad habits has taken some time but it’s close. I’ll be renewing your school and hopefully I’ll be moving to shot shaping next year. Thanks, Tom.
That's great, John!! Those "ghosts of swings past" are annoyingly stubborn critters, but it sounds like you are doing a great job of recognizing and neutralizing them, and that is a huge part of the process of taking ownership of your swing!
Shot shaping and the "Grid" are where the fun really begins, and this grip lesson plays a significant role in it.
Thanks for your support and keep up the great work!!
Tom
Tom your teaching has been tremendous for my swing. I have cut strokes and golf is fun to play finally!! Thank you!!

I am now watching more of your videos Tom, because of your humour BUT more importantly how easily I understand what you explain. Especially, not getting into a long drawn out talk when a few minutes will do. My teaching pro (Stack and Tilt) Dave, also makes this stuff seem easy and with just the right amount explanations for me.
I always had trouble with my grip. Going from too weak to too strong and back again. I never understood scooping the ball was caused by a strong grip until now. I have done it and been told I'm doing it by playing partners. Now I get it and just need to make it consistent.
Thank you for your videos and your time. Keep up the great work!
I sincerely appreciate your kind words, Don, and I'm very glad to know that my instruction content and "lesson and a show" teaching style are resonating with you and providing clarity and simplicity in the muddied, overly complicated, oft-conflicting realm of golf instruction!
This body-friendly, powerful, consistent, low-maintenance Stack and Tilt swing system is designed to provide a lifetime of great ball striking, and since it is rooted in physics, geometry, and human physiology it does not discriminate by age or ability - from kids to seniors and everything in between, and inclusive of the best players in the world. I give all credit where it is due - including Andy Plummer and Mike Bennett for analyzing and interpreting the science, and to those who preceded them with their empirical observations of the game's best ball strikers and all their subsequent chalkboard number-crunching. I just do my best to take what they have built and convey it in my own simplified manner.
Thanks again for your message and support, and keep up the great work!

I just started following you Tom and I’m surely throwing out the many old golf tips that hardly worked. Your swing method is easier to execute and so far, I am seeing great improvement on my game and I’m enjoying it. I introduced my 16 yr old 16 son and 14 yr old daughter and we just returned from Mt Snow Golf Course in VT where we had a fun time comparing Saguto Golf tips. Ty

Thanks Josh - I appreciate knowing that and I'm very glad to hear that my instruction is resonating well with you!
Keep it simple!!
TS
He explains it with simplicity. It is refreshing. I have played for 4 years. Good and bad. I will give the stack and tilt another go round. With the other swings I just can’t seem to ground the club ahead of the ball. I will definitely give this a try.
So where do I start. Haha. Great video. Prob the greatest explanation video I’ve ever seen since I’ve been searching for help. 40 years of inconsistent golf.
The explanation of things has helped me tremendously. I’ve been watching your vids for a couple weeks now and you have actually help me understand what is supposed to be happening through the swing.
I’ve shot good golf in the past but with zero consistency. I just shot 4 over but with consistency and understanding.
Thank you. Sincerely, thank you!!!
I know this is an old video, but man it’s a good one.
Well done!! 4-over is some awesome playing, and _"with consistency and understanding"_ is precisely what we're after. 💪💪

Really great presentation of the need for a neutral grip. I have been working on this recently and your video validates this. The simple demo is a wonderful way to show it. Your passion is great and there is a lot of confusing info on golf swing. Hogan had so much right about the swing. Thanks. I am at peace with the universe!

I went from fade/slices to draw/hooks/big hooks when I learned from you to keep the right elbow in more ... it helped me from coming over the top ... but I was definitely flipping through contact. I did have a very strong grip ... getting the grip to neutral has helped tremendously. Now more consistent contact and straighter with a gentle draw. Now I am working at the range to get more comfortable with a more neutral grip. I really like the way that the neutral grip keeps the club more closed on the takeaway ... it just helps set up the contact that I want from early in the swing. Thanks.
Nicely done, Dave! It sure takes some getting used to, but it's absolutely worth it and you are definitely on the proper track.
Keep up the great work!!
So true. I can totally relate to this.
Hi Tom, this video is spot on. I have been playing for about a year. When I started I had some lessons, in the first lesson I was shown the neutral grip, but over the months (stupidly) my grip has got stronger and stronger to attempt to stop slicing, which of course was not grip related but more out to in. Now my in to out is much better I am pulling most shots left, and it's all because of the strong grip. Also, the section in the video where you hold the club in your left arm and swing is also spot on. I tried it in the garden, let the club swing slowly like a pendulum, hold the club in the left hand with a strong grip and I hit behind the ball, hold the club with a neutral grip and voila, I hit after the ball. Thanks for the video. Top man.
You are wise beyond your golfing years, David!! 😎
Great job figuring it out!!
Cheers!
Tom
Great Tom, This segment reminded me of day I was watching this fella warming up and popping the ball on every hit. this Golf warming up before a match was thump the golf ball with every hit....I couldn't do what he was doing and when I asked him about it he ignored me. Then to day I caught your video ....Wow, now I know what he was doing thanks Tom. Rich

Tom, you are my guy. You have changed my game. Shaved about 15 strokes in past two months. Just the weight shift to my left leg solved a lot of my problems.
That's awesome!!
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 dramatic improvement and keep up the great work!! 💪💪

I sincerely appreciate your kind words, Jay, and I'm very glad to know that you are benefitting from my instruction content!!
Thanks for your support and keep up the great work!!
Tom
This has showed me that my transition to a stronger grip has resulted in me having more shots left of target. In order to compress the ball I set up my swing with the shaft in line with my left arm , with my hands over, if not ahead of the ball at address. This couple with an upright swing led to lack of space on the downswing and perhaps chopping at the ball. Though at 67 I’m still shooting around 84. Thanks for your no nonsense advice and lessons.
That's some solid playing, Arthur!
Yes - if we really want to stick with that strong grip, then we do typically have to make compensations in order to make it work, and in doing so consistency can become an issue. However, as I regularly tell folks, let your ball striking be your guide.
I don’t know how many golf videos I’ve watched over the last 3 years, and all that happened was my handicap going up.
When I stumbled across Saguto, I too thought he was kinda kookie. It wasn’t until I saw his episode on shoulders that, and it was literally a revelation! The last few days I’ve hit so many “crispies” and I love the way he makes the laws and science so simple and useful!

🤯🤯🤯 wow. I'm blown away again by your simple teachings. All I've ever heard was you must be able to see 2 knuckles. I'm doing what you have said and my take away and down swing is so much better. Might be my missing link lol. Thank you so much!

Thank you Yamina - I truly appreciate your very kind words!!
Tom, I don’t even know where to start. First of all your videos not only are funny to watch and keep yah watching you have a great approach on how you teach, I honestly haven’t struck the ball this well for some time now, you nailed it with the grip, my swing as you stated doesn’t allow a strong grip and today I worked on and worked on and more neutral grip approach and it’s unreal the results it truly makes golf fun again, as some have stated relearning hasn’t shown up in score just yet but honestly know it’s around the corner, the swing and the feel of everything felt effortless, when you said a strong grip can wear on the body it’s so true, anyhow I really just wanted to say THANK YOU to you! I will continue to watch and support what you do!

Most welcome brotha, and I will definitely check those out, yesterday I played after being in the upper 80s and low 90s I shot an 83 (I left two birdies on the table 🤦🏻♂️) and after the round I honestly didn’t feel fatigued at all, in fact went to the range. but crispy chicken it is #mashed. This summer I believe is going to bring in my best scores
Side note I think one of the highlights of the day is the group I got paired up with said that sounded crisp and just helps validate and confirm that fundamentals are coming together
Effortless who’d of thought
Game is not easy as it is
So being able to work on these few things already making the face come back to square and the driver I have never seen the ball struck so much in the sweet spot consistently
When I looked at the ground with strong grip instantly I knew that what you were saying showed the face not being there for strike
Thanks again man!
Tom--thanks for your simplified approach to better contact and straighter golf shots--returning to golf since I retired on January 1st and cannot wait to practice the simplified swing you teach. I was a 17 handicap once upon a time, but have only played once or twice a year since...could usually score less than 100, but want to get into the 80s...keep doing what you do--straightforward and simple...thanks again!
Congratulations on your retirement, Ted, and welcome back to this great game!!

You are the best instructor I have found on UA-cam. Thank you! Love your wit too.
Thanks - I sincerely appreciate your kind words, and I'm very glad to know that you are enjoying and benefiting from my instruction content!!
Tom
"You can't do that". My gosh, how many videos are out there claiming that you NEED to rotate your fore arms in the release and I for sure have never managed to do that on a regular basis. Hats off for Tom that really tries to teach us weekend hackers a simple swing with fewer moving parts/ parameters.
I sincerely appreciate your kind and validating remarks, Allan!
Yes - with regard to the erroneous notion that we need to manufacture some type of a rolling or flipping "release", given the inability of most folks to spend sufficient time at the range to lock in the required exactness of this action this misguided thought has led countless golfers astray. It's not something that most pros are trying to actively manufacture during the split second that the clubhead is traveling a distance of approximately 6' from parallel to parallel at speeds in excess of 100 mph. The forearms will naturally "trade places" from pre- to post-impact, but this should not be construed as a contrived move (although many a casual observer has gone down that rabbit hole). There really ought not be any active manipulation of the hands through the zone and attempts to precisely time any such rolling or flipping - which does nothing for swing speed - have relegated many an amateur to the vast abyss of inconsistency and frustration.
Thanks again for your comment and keep up the great work!
Tom

Honestly Tom you're the best, I used to golf alot as a teenager and the swing was always a mystery. I'm 31 now and after learning from you and correcting my grip, my swing form and set up. I no longer slice and I hit very consistent straight shots that go where I'm aiming. Golf is fun now! Ty so much for your knowledge
That's awesome, @Ljay! I sincerely appreciate your kind words, and I am very glad to know that you are benefiting from my instruction content and enjoying my teaching style!!

@@SagutoGolf I LOVE THIS 13:23, is the MEAT & POTATOES of golf. I want you to take a peak at my game and be real honest with me.
You ever do golf lessons over zoom?
Thanks, Tom! Very refreshing to hear you!
Thanks Simon!!
WOW. The best “Tip” ever! Your right I had signed up to a program 3 years ago and still watch the videos and it was all about STRONG grip
Thanks! I'm glad to know that this tip resonated well with you, Ron!!
Tom
After military retirement manage GC’s the Army and Air Force. Quit that to include playing because of knee issues. I’ve had 7 left knee surgeries. Total knee replacement, 3 revision surgeries, 2 knee infections and finally hyperextension correction surgery. Picked up PW a week ago and hit 50 yard shots to see if I could the majority of my weight on my left leg and knee. Success, but resorted to previous strong grip. The videos by you and Jess Frank will allow me to do something I’ve always struggled with! Striking the ball then turf consistency like KFC.
@Ron Keller - I'm glad to know that you were able to swing that wedge without pain! As for the strong grip, I don't have an issue with it - I simply want golfers to be aware of the tendencies.
Also, I'd like you to know that this is a very body-friendly motion as supported by the fact that a significant percentage of my students and 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.

I have always struggled with the narrative for using a strong grip on iron shots. I discovered years ago if I use a strong grip with my irons my shots went left. I compensated by aiming right. I recently starting using a more neutral grip with my irons. It was pleasing to see Tom's video validating my confusion. With my driver I use a slight strong grip. I've gained so much control and more importantly consistency after I modified my grip.
Well done, Frank!! I'm glad this video was helpful in validating your recent grip modification.
I really appreciate your videos, they have helped me tremendously!! Just started playing consistently and I am hitting it better than I ever have! Thank you!!!
My pleasure, Jon! I'm so glad to know that my instruction is resonating so well with you.
Thanks for sharing your success, keep up the great work and - most importantly - have fun out there!!
Tom
How are things going now? You still playing great and recommend his methods? Asking if I should stop listening to most other golf tubers and dive fully into this method. I have carpal tunnel in my left hand and strong grips aren't helping. To make matters worse I feel no power with a strong grip because I've never focused on trying to time the flip method
I have to say, aside from all these testimonies, this channel has a great atmosphere. A lot easier to make inferences when I’m enjoying myself
I sincerely appreciate your kind words, and I'm very glad to know that my instruction content and teaching style are resonating with you! Keep up the great work, and most importantly - keep having fun out there!!

Love the spontaneity. Love it better when you hit the ball... you do it so well!
Thanks so much Steven - I'm glad you enjoyed it!!
TS
This video is very helpful. I have been using stack and tilt for the past few months and my average score has dropped to the low 90’s but I realized watching this that I haven’t been positioning my hands ahead of the ball. As a result I have had to move the ball back in my stance, which makes the contact point steeper, with a few chunky shots as a result. Just trying hands forward makes the whole swing so much more fluid….duh! Looking forward to my next round on Wednesday😀
I'm glad you enjoyed this lesson, Stuart! Yes - the S&T stock setup hand position is even with the inside of the lead thigh, which certainly can feel a bit more forward than what you were previously accustomed to.
By the way, it is important to understand that the videos, lessons, and drills on this free channel - while fully aligned with the swing method I teach - address a variety of topics, issues, feels, and/or common flaws/fixes from one episode to the next. They are certainly not intended to be taken as a sequential learning platform like the structured curriculum of my online school, which I strongly recommend to anyone who truly wishes to get on the proper path towards owning this swing. So many folks across the globe are now playing the best golf of their lives as a result. As an enrolled member you'll enjoy:
- Unlimited access to comprehensive members-only systems for the full swing.
- Short game courses: Chipping, Pitching, Bunker play, Putting.
- Simplified, succinct, step-by-step lessons and drills designed to put you on an accelerated path towards learning everything in a well-organized, self-guided fashion.

Thanks Tom, I appreciate the feedback after Saturdays video. Yes there many confused golfers out there as it pertains to the grip. Keep making these videos as they are always informative and provide a positive perspective. By the way it was -1*C this morning, going to start indoor golf next week. Where do you film, North or South Carolina?
Thanks Rick - I'm glad you enjoyed this spontaneous midweek episode!
Sorry about the temps. I'm in South Carolina. It was a beautiful 70* F today. (Sorry.... 😎)
What part of South Carolina was this video filmed in?
You are AWESOME Tom!!! Thanks for the guidance!!!! EVERYTIME is great!!
My pleasure, @Rube Sanchez!! I'm thrilled for your success!!
Just saw a couple of your videos last night for the first time. I’m 51 and play golf once in a while because of the frustration over 30 years of bad golf and horrific slice with a strong grip. Lol. I’ve cracked a 100 score just a couple times. Hit the range first thing this morning and I have never hit them that far and straight before!! I’m so excited to play again and will more and more. Seen many UA-cam videos over the years and yours works, thank you so much !!!
I'm very glad to know that this lesson resonated well with you, David, and I am thrilled to learn of your newfound excitement to play this fabulous game!!

Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work!!
Tom
I had my first lesson after trying to teach myself thru UA-cam videos. I've been utilizing a strong grip as well. I could crush my 7iron 200 yards when I hit it perfect. However dispersion was all over the place.
My coach made me switch to a neutral grip. Feels incredibly weird right now but sticking with it. Results are exactly what you said...dispersion has narrowed with a slight draw without trying and same distance. You're spot on.
Thanks Mark - I appreciate your real life experience and offering validation for what I am teaching here. It certainly will feel weird for a while, but you just have to continue to trust it and let your ball striking speak for itself.
Keep it Crispy!
Tom
Yup, same for me. With the straight neutral grip, I don't feel like I' have to manipulate my hands at the bottom of my swing to hit the ball straight.
I guess our brains telling us we've got it wrong before we ever strike the ball.
You sure got that right, @@larryfine4498.
Nice job figuring it out!!
This gives me hope. I have a lesson coming up and I know the first thing they are going to do is have me switch from a strong to a neutral grip.
Your tips have helped me play my best golf ever. Thank you. I’m now swinging from the inside but I get these big time hooks. Maybe it’s my strong grip? I can’t wait to try the neutral grip. Thanks again Tom.
Definitely give it a try, and be patient with it because it will likely feel very weird at first. Also, make sure that there is no flipping action going on through impact. You may have needed this to keep the ball in play with the strong grip, but it definitely won't serve you well with a more neutral attachment. This anti-flipping impact lesson may help: ua-cam.com/video/Fe2kQ44azJ4/v-deo.html
I'm very glad for your success - keep up the great work and have fun out there!!
Tom
@@SagutoGolf thanks!
This provide so much clarity around grip that has confused me for years. Thanks
My pleasure, Dan -- I'm very glad to know that this episode resonated well with you!!
Awesome Lesson!!!!! Makes sense!!!!
Thanks John - I'm glad to know that this grip lesson resonated well with you!!
Have fun out there!!
TS
With a strong grip (eg Shawn Clement) the hands don't flip through impact, the forearms rotate after impact
There's no timed rolling or rotating of the hands/arms in the swing system I teach. The result is consistently crispy compression, a predictable shot shape, and all the distance you will ever want, without the need for regular practice sessions to keep one's timing sharp. So while I don't advocate a strong grip for the reasons mentioned in the video, I'm certainly not saying that you can't play good golf with it. If that's your preference, then it's just a matter of being aware of the potential consequences and tendencies.
Best of luck to you!

Sounds good, Paul. Be patient with it as it may feel very weird at first - you just need to trust it. If you've been using a strong grip then there's a chance you've been flipping through the zone.

Hi Tom,
From Kip’s Dad who now is your biggest fan.
I am playing the best golf of my life because of you!!!! Most interested in the topic today related to the slice. I have discovered that I am crushing it when I am sure to have my right shoulder down, scrunching my right side at impact. But when I was hitting an iron shot with less power exerted I tend to be less accurate and notice I am going right, from my wrist action opening the club face. For years I was thinking my occasional slice was from my swing path going over the top. But now I have discovered, with your help, it is mostly from my errant wrist action opening the club face.
My new focus on my wrist has taken me into the 80s. It feels so good!!! Can’t wait for my first round breaking into 70s. Thank you so much for your coaching.
That's fantastic, Bob - nice job figuring it out and incorporating it into your swing!!
Thanks so much for your kind words and support, keep up the great work, and we'll see you soon in the 70's!!
TS
I keep watching more and more of your videos and really appreciate how much you like to dive into the physics and theory behind the golf swing.
I’m a major scooper/slicer, and even when I do get good compression I’m taking a very minimal divot. I’ve had issues with compression since I started, with short bouts of getting it and hitting it KFC. My old golf instructor would have me strengthen the grip and start with my hands forward, but I felt like my arms got almost twisted trying to make sure everything is timed correctly. Seeing the neutral grip theory is a major lightbulb moment for me.
I sincerely appreciate your kind words and I'm very glad to know that my instruction is resonating well with you!!
This body-friendly, powerful, consistent, low-maintenance swing system is indeed rooted in physics, geometry, and human physiology, and as such it does not discriminate by age or ability - from kids to seniors and everyone in between, inclusive of the best players in the world.
I hope that "neutralizing" your grip works out well for you. Have fun experimenting with it!!

Exactly! I needed that truth because you can't build a swing throwing 20 different tip's from various teachers into your swing. You need to have a single program that builds a repeatable process that you can revisit when needed. Your program makes sense. Well done!
Thanks again for your kind words!!
That is precisely the difference between a robust golf swing *_system_* vs. a compilation of swing fixes, band aids, tweaks, and compensations.
Keep it crispy!!

55 years old. After 5 back proceedures made the decision to move to the front tees. In my younger days I could play in the high 70 s to low 80 s but after so many issues with my back I couldn't do anything with the par 4 s and the long par 3 s and was scoring back in the 90 s. After trying just one of your tips I scored close to par from the upper tee. So I moved back a tee box and shot 88 and then 85. Unfortunately I have another back proceedure soon but that won't prevent me from watching every video you have. Thank you bud.
Sorry about your back issues, Michael, but I'm very glad to know that my instruction content and teaching style for this body-friendly, powerful swing are resonating with you!!

You don't need the flexibility of a Romanian gymnast - or even of this far less pliable golf instructor - to execute this swing, experience great ball striking, and reclaim - or even exceed - yardages from years past. I hope you'll give the school some thought.
Thanks so much for your support in sharing your improvement, and I wish you all the best with your upcoming procedure.

Thanks for an eye opening and believable video.
My pleasure, Ray. Glad you enjoyed it!

Excellent video Tom !!! Anything less than this concept and I don’t think a golfer can reach their full potential. You made your point with “bare bones “ reasoning. Isn’t physics in the golf swing great ! Way to go !!!
Thank you for that wise and succinct assessment, @Bub Bu!! Physics and Geometry are truths. We can either choose to harness them as they are and thereby take full advantage of their combined benefits, or we can try to trick them in order to compensate for unresolved shortcomings. That's not to say the latter can't work, but my golf instruction will reside in the deposit of established natural laws until such time that God elects to amend them...😎

I'm very glad to know that my instruction is resonating well with you. Given your level of commitment towards improving, if you've not already joined have you considered enrolling in the online school and taking your learning - and your game - to the next level? That's where - in addition to detailed lessons and drills that take you through the entire swing step-by-step from setup to finish - you'll find diagnostic tools for identifying/resolving swing and ball flight issues when they arise, plus advanced level instruction, and much more. Thousands of folks across the globe - including many seasoned, low-handicap, competitive players - 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.
Embrace the challenge and have fun out there!!

Joined your online group. Finally headed down the right path with confidence. After chasing every tip never getting anywhere. You showed me a bluepeint that i can trust to work. Because it makes sense. Thank you.
Awesome!! I'm very glad to have you in the school, Andre, and I appreciate your kind words!
Embrace the system, embrace the process, and you will soon embrace ownership of a well-functioning swing and the resulting ball striking bliss it provides!

I enjoy all of your videos so passionate. Still struggling with consistent contact but it’s not because of the way you teach it’s just not being able to practice as I need to. I definitely have improved but still have a ways to go. Keep up the good work
Thanks Pamela - I always appreciate your kind words and support! Keep working at it as your schedule allows, and when ready feel free to send in another V1 so I can have a look at your progress and identify areas that might need some attention.
