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.

My youtube saved videos was so congested with different golf tips from all sorts of coaches until i found Saguto golf! I deleted all the videos i had and replaced them with your videos Tom because you are by far the best coach on youtube today and your clips are fun to watch. Cheers Tom for the time you take to help golfers around the world with excellent content.
I did the same.....I unsubbed from a lot of instructors and now just get golf tips from Tom, Jess Frank and Nick Taylor. I’m going hard in on stack and tilt!!

@@SagutoGolf thankyou for the link Tom! I am definately considering joining you're school, i believe it will be of great benefit! Leave it with me and i will check it out 8-)
Cheers mate.
This seems to put every club in the right position! My problem is coming over the top, especially with longer clubs and this is a good antidote for that.
Yes, it does! And one of the many fabulous things about this system is that 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. To demonstrate, you'll find towards the end of this episode some practice range footage of me hitting a 7 iron, 3 wood, and driver: ua-cam.com/video/o0xscMyN3v8/v-deo.html

My man Tom. I stopped playing golf 13 yrs ago and when I gave it up I was a 5. I am now 56 and started playing again 4 months ago and I struggled immensely with hitting the ball solid. I spent countless hrs practicing and researching info through you tube and stumbled across your stack and tilt videos. I heard nothing about stack and tilt when played years ago and anyone making a move at the ball in this manner would be categorized as having a reverse pivot golf swing. Be that as it may, I have watched,practiced and played on the course with your teaching methods and I am now hitting the ball solid again...thx brother for all your help.
@Chic 33,
I truly appreciate your kind words and I am 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!!
I know it sounds like a strange concept to those who have only ever subscribed to a swing model that is based on shifting weight from back to front, but I assure you that this swing is anything but a reverse pivot! You bring up a good point, though, because it represents an often misconstrued notion and occasional invalid criticism of the Stack & Tilt swing, and as such I always appreciate the opportunity to respond and clarify. You start with your weight forward (55/45 on the front side; 60/40 for the longer clubs), increase that same weight forward to the top of the backswing (70/30), and further increase the forward weight during the downswing from halfway down (80/20) through impact (90/10) and to the finish at 95/5 forward. There's no "weight shift", therefore - unless one were to fall backwards - there's nothing to reverse or pivot!! And the result is a low-maintenance, body-friendly, consistent, and tremendously powerful swing!
I'm very glad to have you on board, and the game is very glad to have you back on the course!! Thanks for sharing your success and keep up the great work!!
Tom
100 % agreed !!! For the first time you’ve made me understand the importance of covering the golf ball and the fallacy of the weight shift.The stack and tilt is the holy grail of golf. Thx again Tom !!
Golf swing simplified at its best! Just brilliant.
Thanks Frank - I'm glad you enjoyed this lesson video!!
Tom
I think this may possibly be the best golf video I've ever seen.
Thanks George - I'm very glad to know that this lesson resonated well with you!!
Tom
This guy always got the least complicated golf tips that work. A lot of other instructors tend to overcomplicate everything and after a while I'm just trying to remember like 15 different things at once.
I like this guy 👍
@Ghost5.7 - I'm very glad to know that you are enjoying and benefiting from my channel's content and the simplicity that I strive to provide!!

My golf swing just went from crispy to extra crispy. Thanks!
Simple is best.
I'm just a simple man with a simple plan because simple is what I understan'....😆
(Just remember - it's simple, not easy...)
Cheers!
Tom
Shifting, lippin, loppin, loopin, thinkin….😂 that just came out so naturally, I’d consider a possible album deal with Eminem. Love the videos my man! Keepin it crispy
LOL!! I'm always unscripted, so you just never know what might come out....😂

That IS the correct golf swing, I'd suggest starting at half swings and working up over weeks if people have been always turning flat and using arms or they may pull a back muscle. Great video
Thanks, @Daz Alenko - I'm glad you enjoyed this lesson video!! Yes - I agree - building up incrementally towards the full swing is a great way for someone to transition effectively from Lift & Shift to Stack & Tilt.
Cheers!
Tom
T-Tommy you're the best man! Had not golfed in 3 weeks and went to visit my folks...dad and i played 9 holes. I shot 2 over by just plugging into the lesson you gave me via internet....this is so solid! Keep it simple brother! You say more when you say less.
Your comment makes me think of the Alison Krauss Song with the lyrics "You say it best when you say nothing at all"...😆😆
However, I do agree and am making a conscious effort to keep the length of future videos in that 7-8 minute sweet spot whenever possible (plus it's less work for me as well!).
Anyway, that's some fantastic playing - I'm glad that lesson worked well for you!!
Thanks for the support and keep up the great work!!
Tom
Tom, you're golf videos are the best on the internet, they have helped me soooo much. Thanks, and keep it crispy 🍗
Thanks Jim - I truly appreciate your kind words and support, and I am very glad to know that you are enjoying and benefiting from my channel's lesson content!!
Yours in crispiness,
Tom
Not sure how you always get a few thumbs down on these great videos but anyway, awesome educational video as usual 👍👊
Unfortunately they're out there, Justin, prowling about the world seeking the ruin of anyone's enjoyment of this great game. Fortunately most of them are so intensely enraged over alternative methods of hitting a ball with a stick that they possess neither the wherewithal, the inclination, nor the demeanor to reproduce, and that's something I'll give my thumbs up to.....😆
Stay Crispy, my friend!!
Tom
You bring back my golf game again,thanks Tom.
I truly appreciate your kind words and I am very glad the instruction on my channel has benefited your game!!
Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work!!
Tom
Huge help as always, thanks again Tom!!!!!
Thanks @Falcon77 - I'm glad you enjoyed this episode!!
Tom
Thanks Tom great stuff
Thanks Terry - glad you enjoyed it!
This is the same technique as the ‘ Hogan arms ‘ video , any reason for not mentioning the Hogan bit ? Both great videos ,really saved the day for me , I could hit off the tee very well , but struggled hitting woods and particularly irons off the fairway , until I practiced this tip . Thanks again
Hi Patrick,
Oftentimes it is necessary to convey the same concept in different ways so it will resonate with a broader spectrum of players.
Anyway, I'm glad to know that these lessons benefited you!!
Tom
Easily the best golf tutor on the WWW. Simple and memorable.
Thanks so much, Terry - I truly appreciate your very kind words and support!!
Tom
"golf swing desert".....I can relate.
The vast majority of us can, Jim!...
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the video. I endeavor through my instruction not to provide a temporary desert oasis but instead a permanent escape from the abyss to the land of golfing milk and honey!!
Cheers!
Tom
Thank you so much
You're most welcome, Casey - I'm very glad you enjoyed it!!
Tom
Great stuff. Thanks.
Thanks - I'm glad you enjoyed this lesson video!

Warning for long but worthy read.
20 years ago( late teens) I was shooting low 80's, and was self taught using the complete golf instruction manual(2001) from Steve newell. A bad marriage and not much golf over the past 20 years(maybe 10 rounds) had me shooting an average of 115. I have begun actively trying to get back into golf since last year and was straight up sucking badly. I've been watching all of the youtube guys since last year with zero improvement to my game. Reverse k this, turn your back that, etc... Then I came across Tom's work about a week ago. The very first video I watched triggered something in my memory from how I played 20 years ago, and I have been hooked since. Now mind you, I have played probably 7 rounds this spring. My very first round was a legit 95. Every other round was between 110-120, Last Friday, I shot eighteen and hit pretty close to that 120 stroke mark. Wednesday, after watching numerous videos from Tom, I played 18 and shot a 57 on the front 9 while beginning to put Tom's methods to work. The first 5 holes destroyed me. Then it slowly began to click. I ended up shooting a 44 on the back 9 to finish with 101. Today I just played 18. 46 on the front nine and 45 on the back 9 with 7 legit pars for a round of 91. I fell apart on two par 4 holes for an added 7 strokes. Literally 1 week of beginning to change my swing with Tom's stack and tilt routine, and starting from scratch as if I've never golfed before, and I have shaved 20 strokes off my round. I am a paid member of his online golf school since Monday, and would encourage everyone that truly wants to play a better brand of golf to get with this program and watch what it will do to your game. Again, I am only a week into watching his videos, and doing nothing but trying it on the course with no range time. Had I not fallen apart on 2 holes today, I would have shot my first round in the mid 80's since I was 20 years old. I have much work to do to get this swing engrained into habit. I have much work to do on every aspect of my game, including a much needed overhaul of my short game(2-3 putts galore). But I will break 80 by August if not sooner, and will shoot a par round by the end of this year. And I promise you that when I do, it will be from learning from Tom Saguto. If you love golf but are inconsistent, I recommend that you become a member of Tom's paid course. Pretend you are completely new to golf and kill your old swing and mindset as fast as possible. Us inconsistent golfers always say there is that one shot on the course today that keeps me coming back for more. Whether it be a perfect 300 yard bomb off the tee, a beautiful short iron approach into a gimmie putt, or a long birdie or eagle putt that finds the bottom of the cup. Well today, I had dozens of those shots. Smashed tee shots, beautiful approach shots, and a few long albeit par putts that found the bottom of the cup. My consistency today was quite remarkable, and I truly owe it to what I am learning from Tom.
To Tom:
Thank you for your honesty and straight forward teaching methods, and for being beyond reasonable in your pricing. I appreciate you very much and wish you massive success in all you do!
@mikeenree69 - It is my pleasure, as notes like yours elevate my day and make all the work worthwhile!! I truly appreciate your very kind words and the testimonial for my online school!!
Thanks so much for sharing your experience; I wish you much success as you work towards your goals, both of which I am certain you will attain by your indicated timelines and likely sooner!!
As for the rest of the world.... at just ten bucks a month to play your best golf, what are y'all waiting for???....😂
Cheers!
Tom
@@SagutoGolf It is my pleasure as well good sir! It's amazing to find you after the many many videos I have watched, and yet you were the black sheep, the golden ticket to high performance consistency. You stand against the masses who all fall in to the same training rhetoric, who teach a consistently inconsistent play style, unshaken by pressure and that means and says a lot about your character. Thank you for your kind words to me as well. Your teaching has brought new life to a man who has lost much over the past 20 years. And for that I am truly blessed and appreciative. God bless, see you in the next video brother!
This has CHANGED MY LIFE!
Awesome Ted!!!!
Love this tip . Roll on the end of the latest lockdown so I can give it a try . Thanks Tom
Thanks, Steven - I'm glad you enjoyed the lesson video and I hope you can get out there soon!
Cheers!
Tom
Very good and also very funny , thx
Great advice makes total sense.
Thanks Johnny - I'm glad you enjoyed the lesson!
Tom
This is an awesome swing thought. Tried this out today through out the clubs and shots. Thanks, Tom.
That's great, Joe - I'm glad to know that this lesson video helped you!!
Thanks!
Tom
Love it!
See you there Jeff!
@@SagutoGolf I can't wait. I survived cancer and took 4 years off golf because of mobility issues. I'm only 44 and have been golfing since I was 13. I just want to say Thank you. Your videos have helped me bend and twist like I was 16 gain. I never knew this was possible. My golf game is as good as it's ever been. Thank you.
Wow awesome stuff thank you!
Thanks Rick - I'm glad you enjoyed the episode!!
Tom
Love your tips thanks so much
My pleasure, Charles!! Thanks for your kind words!!
Tom
Keep those videos coming thanks again
Really like this - funnily enough I kind of fell into this with practice. Feels powerful.
Yessir, John - powerful and easily repeatable for sure!!
Keep up the great work!
Tom
Amazing cue! Im hitting so good now. All pure shots with little effort. Thanks so much!!
Fantastic! I'm glad this lesson resonated well with you! Great job incorporating it into your swing!
@@SagutoGolf thanks man! Btw, would love yo see a video of you playing either 9 or 18 holes. Just an idea. Thanks again!
Thanks for the great lesson bro again
Thank you, Alex - I appreciate your kind words and I'm glad to know that you are enjoying my channel's lesson content!!
Tom
Great lesson!
Thanks - I'm glad you enjoyed it!!
Tom
Definitely the most valueable and compact advice for semi-skilled golfers like me (HCP -15). On days with a compact swing I can shoot into 70s, with the hands away from the body it may be in the 90s. After not playing for many weeks this may be a game changer for getting back lost confidence. THX to SagutoGolf!
I'm glad you enjoyed this lesson video and hope it helps your game! I would say that if you can keep this one trigger thought in mind whenever you play then you've probably got a good chance of mostly eliminating those disconnected days and enjoying some more consistency in your scoring from round to round!
Cheers!
Tom
Great advise. Had to press pause and head to the range...Just finished my most consistent practice session ever.
Great thoughts!
Thanks - Glad you enjoyed it, John!!
Another great tip!
Thanks Tony - I'm glad you enjoyed it!!
Tom
Brilliant!
Thanks Caroline - I'm glad you enjoyed this episode!!
Tom
@@SagutoGolf It is hard to find any advice about triggers either on internet or having a pro lesson but for me it is absolutely critical. Usually I press my hands forward a bit but for S&T I think this one is better. Golf clubs open tomorrow so I'll get out and give it a go!
I have just shot 11 under my handicap, which I attribute to these videos. Love the teaching approach and have told everyone (Well they ask really).
Exceptional instruction. Golf swing made easy and vast improvement

Haven't hit a ball using this tip but I'm sure it is what I've needed ,consistent trigger.thanks Tom from down under ,Oz Andrew Paton
I'm glad it resonated well with you, Oz, and I hope it translates well to the range and course for you!
Cheers!
Tom
Good stuff. your move, especially the left shoulder tilt and the straight trail leg at p4 looks like stack and tilt swing.
I'm sure glad to know that it looks like a Stack and Tilt swing because it is supposed to be a Stack and Tilt swing!!
Check out these recent videos:

I used this swing thought on the weekend, and this swing thought only. Extremely happy with the results.
Well done, Michael!!
Thanks very much for sharing your success!
Tom
I've used this thought before and always results in much better results. I seriously need to get this trigger ingrained to be natural habit. Will watch more of these videos.

It’s winter time here in Idaho. When it hits mid 40s and no wind, we are playing. It’s difficult to get a lot of turn with 37 layers on but having just one swing thought is nice because we want to hit and get back into a heated cart. Thanks for the lesson.
Hi Mitch,
Up in PA we would play if it was upper 30's and no wind, so I fully understand what you're saying, and it came with the added bonus of the feeling that we were cheating nature by stealing a day back from winter!
Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
Stay warm and have fun out there!!
Tom
I spent months during lockdown around in my local park as the Golf clubs in Ireland were closed. Many frustrating hours trying to figure out the golf swing. In the last week it finally all clicked into place thanks to your tip of thinking of the golf swing like a baseball swing. Your different approach really helped. Keep up the great work. Thanks Tom.

That's gold, Tommy, just a mound of bullion in the sun....nice...!!..I was thinking 'hogan arms' when I am getting cozy with the ball, but that would spring the picture of Hogan from your previous tutorial, and the forearms folding right arm...which was good, but got a bit to positional. The connected opine is the solution for me, it gets the tilt and good shoulder position for a crispy swipe on the ball; which is nice. The golf swing is such a personalization for each linkster coming down the pike, you have nailed it. The coolest thing is that I can arrive at the linx and just start striking crispiness, so I love when you come into these vidz cold, and you just start pounding them; and you exclaim as an aside,....'...geez, that was sweet, I have not touched a club in a fortnight...' I never never could do that before, I use arrive in the parking lot and I am a box of chocolates and if its hot I am a melted mess trying to find something to break 90. You fixed me, Tommy...I am one connected Hoganesque striking bantam out there....thanks man, hope all things are good, the turkey was extra crispy and the Christmas has those gold tinsel streamers flaming into xtra crispiness.....yeeellhowwwww....now, thats nice....
From Forrest Gump to Hoganesque striking bantam??? You da Man, Teddy!!!
You hit the nail on the head (or the ball on the screws?).... I do my best to convey different "feels" or thoughts throughout the swing wherever possible because we're all unique physiologically and psychologically, and something that resonates effectively with me may not necessarily work for you. Furthermore, a feel or thought that performs well for you this week may run its course or get overdone and not play out so nicely next week, so it's good to have alternates to call upon if needed. The key takeaway here is that 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 same desired motion or position. (It's like a multiple choice test with no wrong answer!) And another nice thing about ingraining “feels” is that we can then disengage ourselves from mechanical thoughts during a round, focus on the target, and really just feel the swing we are going to make. This prevents “paralysis by analysis” and enables us to go out and enjoy the round.
Thanksgiving was very nice, thanks - fully unmasked, most assuredly not socially distanced, and delicious food! I hope you and yours enjoyed the holiday as well.
Thanks again for your always highly-anticipated update! Keep it Krispy my friend!!
Tom
OMG! That is sooo me. Overthinking ething. Connecting the arms totally worked for me with my irons. Haven’t tried it with the Driver. I’m a beginner golfer. Thanks.
Great - I'm glad you enjoyed the lesson video!!

I have been thinking about it. Haven’t made the leap yet
Love it
Thank you Van!
Tom. Great video! Has really helped my game. Question. When hitting or using a Sand Wedge for short (20yds - 30yds) or middle-distance (40yds - 60yds) shots, is it a good idea to keep the backswing in relation to numbers on a clock. For example: for a 20yrd shot to the pin keep your backswing at 8:00 o'clock, for a 30yrd shot keep your backswing at 9:00 o'clock, for a 40yrd shot keep your backswing at 10:00 o'clock, for a 50yrd shot to the pin keep your backswing at 11:00 o'clock, and for a 60yrd to 80yrd shot to the pin -use your normal full swing or . . . 12 o'clock. I have been practicing this drill and it really seems to help. Just wanted your opinion.
John
Well done Saguto Man.
Thanks Ken!!
yeah, got Jess lesson on it
Love these tips. Any chance you could show them with the driver as well as the 5 iron?
I'm glad you're enjoying my channel's content, Thomas!
It's the same swing with every club in your bag.... (except the putter, perhaps 😆) Just some minor setup differences and naturally occurring shaft plane changes as we graduate up in club length from short irons to woods. Having said that, here's a previous episode featuring the driver: ua-cam.com/video/_xl47-9p1YU/v-deo.html

Very interesting concept! I look forward to trying this out soon at the range.
Great! I hope it plays well for you!!
Thanks for watching!

@@SagutoGolf The immediate question that comes to mind is... what about when hitting a driver? It seems to me that one of the goals is to get maximum extension on the backswing in which case wouldn't you be losing that connection between the arms and pecs? If I'm misunderstanding something, please elaborate. Thanks!
@@PongGod Here's a link to a driver video I did: ua-cam.com/video/_xl47-9p1YU/v-deo.html. You don't want to lose those connections regardless of the club you're swinging!
great stuff per usual. do you have any drills or tips for getting that trail elbow tucked to the ribs on the downswing? my right/trail elbow disconnects and there's too much daylight between my elbow and body on the downswing...

Tom, another great video. Keeping that connection makes it a lot easier. My question is do you keep that same connection while putting? Thanks again for all your help and keep the videos coming. Kerry
Glad you enjoyed it, Kerry!
Putting is far too much of an individual feel thing with seemingly as many unique styles as there are golfers. Having said that, if you're the type of putter who relies on the rocking of the shoulders back and through while keeping the hands and arms "dead", then a good connection can certainly help.

Since implementing the swing you teach I have gone from scoring in the upper 90's to consistently shooting in the low 80's with a low score of 78. All since the beginning of June. also threw a hole in one into the mix at the end of September. Thank You!!

Tom, would you recommend practicing with a small towel under right and left arms? Thanks.
Hi Shawn,
Standard Stack and Tilt instruction actually recommends the "tee drill" in which you stick a tee under each armpit and hit balls while trying to keep both tees in place throughout the entirety of the swing. A small towel under each upper arm will work fine as well; just remember that they need to stay there from setup to finish in order to ensure that the connections were maintained.
Cheers!
Tom
I have tried your stack and tilt method in the back yard into a net, but I haven't had a chance to take it to the course. If solid contact is any indication of a well struck ball, then I think I have found my new swing. Thanks Tom!
Sounds good, Darrell! By all means solid impact is a good indicator, and I hope it translates well to the course for you. Of course since this is something new and different - and because the ghosts of swings past do not die easily - it's important to keep realistic expectations when you take this out for a test drive!

This is a good I'll incorporate it but Tom another big one that really works is a LOT of turning into the right hip on backswing makes everything work so much better!
@Asone82,
I'm glad to know that you're enjoying my channel's content and that these lessons are benefiting you!
I do my best to convey different "feels" or thoughts throughout the swing wherever possible because we're all unique physiologically and psychologically, and something that resonates effectively with me may not necessarily work for you. Furthermore, a feel or thought that performs well for you this week may run its course or get overdone and not play out so nicely next week, so it's good to have alternates to call upon if needed. The key takeaway here is that 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 same desired motion or position. (It's like a multiple choice test with no wrong answer!) And another nice thing about ingraining “feels” is that we can then disengage ourselves from mechanical thoughts during a round, focus on the target, and really just feel the swing we are going to make. This prevents “paralysis by analysis” and enables us to go out and enjoy the round.
Beyond that it's 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 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 learning and owning this swing. For just $10 US/month or $99 US/year you'll have unlimited access to a comprehensive members-only system for the full swing, the short game, and much more.

can you utilize this same this thought with a drive and hybrids?
Yes, Tyler - it’s the same swing with every club in your bag. Just some minor setup differences and naturally occurring shaft plane changes as we graduate up in club length from short irons to woods. Also, the progressively widening stance as we move through the longer clubs necessitates that the hips travel a greater distance laterally in the downswing, because if the hips stop their lateral slide towards the target prior to impact their rotation takes over, changing the low point and rerouting the club across the ball, thereby causing an out-to-in glancing blow and producing a variety of undesirable results.

My grip is down pat now and all I've been thinking about is hit the ball pure.
The season up here in Maine ended 2 weeks ago and it already feels like forever. I can’t wait until next season. I want to work on chipping because I can’t figure it out. Whenever I’m within 30 feet to a few feet of the green I can’t hit the ball. It’s either chunked or way past target. Also would love to see this method in your video with a driver. Thanks again for all of your help.
Hi Jeremy,
Sorry for the season coming to an end up there, but you've got much to look forward to next spring if you can contain yourself that long!! (If not then perhaps you need to schedule a golf trip to my neck of the woods in SC!)

I have never taken a lesson, and everything I’ve learned is from UA-cam. I do my homework though by filming myself and taking notes. I also find that walking the course rather than riding helps slow things down and gets me more connected with the game. Your videos rock. Never a dull moment and easy to watch. I have now added super crispy shots to my vocabulary.

Mr. Saguto, thanks for your positive energy and excellent golf coaching. I have been convincing myself that I was swinging deeper, getting my hands behind my right shoulder. Feel versus real episode! I went to Goftec here and Boise, and watched myself on video several times. Boy was I off. Once I corrected I added 20 yards to a very straight six iron shot. Yay! Thanks.
Now that's what I'm talking about, Kevin. Nicely done!!
I regularly preach on the difference between "feel vs. real", but oftentimes an exaggerated feel is what we need to really seal the deal!...😆
Keep up the great work!!
Tom
@SagutoGolf. Hi SagutoGolf, thanks again, for sharing your work about this fun and relaxing, great game of golf. I wish to be honest, as I always intend to be. I've been trying different swing styles, Kirk Junge and Moe Norman, you know, with the uncocked wrists, like Bryson. I even stopped using the extended wrist style and am using the normal, two plane swing, though using your flying wedge wrist position, with stack and tilt. It is working so consistently and powerful, as long as the upper arms are glued, as one unit to the body and the flying wrist wedge is used, the club just sweeps along the ground and makes perfect ball contact, with good power. We are told, that in the 2 plane swing, the wrists will ulnar deviate, when the inertia of the club is coming through to meet the ball. However, with your swing method, this is not the case. Why, because the wrists, being in that angled, flying wedge position, do not allow the wrists to extend, causing the club to extend and duff into the ground. So with your swing, extending the wrists is not necessary and I AM starting to think, power is sacrificed, using the ulnar deviated wrists or uncocked wrists, as in the Moe Norman swing style. Again, I thank you for keeping it simple and the way you keep repeating the obvious, so we can enjoy this game, out in nature, among the beautiful trees and grass. peace love light
To be more clear, Saguto does have a single plane swing. I meant, it does not use ulnar deviated wrists, which i was using previously and is not needed and probably gives more power anyway, just like a baseball swing.
I appreciate your kind words and I'm glad you're enjoying the videos, @Flying Free!
When we start talking ulnar and radial deviation we find ourselves venturing into more advanced areas that are beyond the scope of the instruction on this free channel. Briefly speaking, Stack and Tilt does utilize these concepts, with one example of this being at setup in which we deploy ulnar (butt of the club pointing higher) and radial positions to influence shot shape. In a properly executed swing the wrists should return to their address hinge at impact - ulnar to encourage a draw and conversely a radial position to promote a fade.
With regard to power, I've not sacrificed ANY distance in S&T; quite to the contrary I've gained at least a club and a half with my irons and am a solid 10% longer off the tee.
Thanks again for your comments, and have fun out there!
Tom
@@SagutoGolf Hi, thank you very much for the informative reply, appreciate it. Yes, the golf swing is dynamic and has multi arcs and radius curves. I realize that with the flying wedge. It certainly is building my core area muscles, I'm sore. Though the swing you teach is certainly very reliable and has good power. Keep up the good work. peace love light
Tom, great tip. I posted a detailed comment but by mistake as a reply to somebody else !
To summarise could you help me understand what starts the downswing ? Is it the upper body returning or the arms swinging the club to the ball ?
Many Thanks, Tim ( in the UK)
Hi Tim,
Sorry that your detailed comment fell into the abyss!!
How to initiate the downswing is a loaded question because it is so dependent on individual tendencies that I cannot give a generalized answer. If I tell you that it's a lateral hip slide but your downswing already naturally has sufficient forward force, then you'll hit pushes and/or hooks all day long, and if I tell you to rotate your hips but you are already naturally applying enough outward force, then your destination is pull/slice city. And then there's other actions and "feels" beyond these!...
Having said that, here's a link to my playlist of downswing-related lesson videos: ua-cam.com/play/PLV62KxT7Mp7Jxi814RQddJx3wkHqxqhio.html. Perhaps you may find some content in there that will resonate well with you.
If you haven't already done so and would like to get on the fast track towards really owning this swing, my best suggestion is that you consider joining the SagutoGolf online school. For just $10 US/month or $99 US/year you'll have unlimited access to a comprehensive members-only learning system for the full swing and much more.

Cheers!

@@SagutoGolf
Thanks Tom. I already joined your school and am loving the tuition. In the UK golf opened up again yesterday. I played on the links at my club Royal Cinque Ports (check it out) and put into action your chipping and pitching techniques which worked really really well. I now need to convert to your S&T full swing. I also have the Bennett and Plummer book but find the visuals of your video clips easier to follow. I’ll try the book again.
I’m playing again tomorrow so will continue my “ conversion”
Thanks again, Tim
Ps Im one of your older “ students “ at 66 playing off 15
Pps at what club are your videos recorded ?
Can you throw on a slow-motion shot if the swing?
While I've included slo-mo's in numerous videos, David, I will endeavor to do so with more regularity.
Thanks,

This guy is funny.
Funny dude 🤣🇦🇺 👍
Tom do you adjust your lie angle on your irons from the standard lie?
I'm a big advocate of golfers getting their clubs professionally fitted. We're all unique in our physical attributes, so there is no reason that we should try to fit our respective swings to a stock grip size, shaft length, flex, lie angle, etc. Let's have the equipment accommodate us and not vice versa!
Cheers!

@@SagutoGolf Thanks Tom!
Hi Tom.I see you got the sleeves of your shirt nicely zipped up during your swing. I like this as well
Just curious though if you ever thought of Ed Merrins “swing the handle”?Cheers
Hi Thomas,
While I've not read Eddie Merrins' book or looked into his instruction, I believe there would be similarities as I have been known to say the words "swing the handle".

@@SagutoGolf you are 100 percent on the mark. Keep up the excellent work. Cheers
Golf lockdown in the UK ended yesterday and I’m going to try this tip tomorrow on the links at Royal Cinque Ports. I played yesterday after a two month break so was v rusty ! Full of hope for tomorrow with this super tip Tom. The question I have is “ what starts the downswing? Upper body moving or arms swinging ?” BTW yesterday I implemented your chipping and pitching technique and it was fabulous ! Thanks for all your great videos. I have travelled the world for golf instruction and I reckon you beat the lot !!
Tim ( age 66 handicap 15)
Love it! I am trying to spot one thing but it happens so fast. In your demonstration warm up swings, your left arm points to 9 o’clock. When you swing to hit I see your arm to to 10 o’clock. What’s going on with the right elbow at that point?
Jeremy - When the left arm goes to 10:00 in the actual swing it's just because I'm making a fuller hip and shoulder turn in comparison to the abbreviated warm up swing. At the top of the backswing my right elbow is a few inches off my torso while the upper arm connections to the chest remain intact; the elbow is folded 90 degrees and properly positioned for transition into the downswing.
Tom
@@SagutoGolf Thanks man. When I first started playing my right elbow would go behind my torso. Kind of like in baseball where they tell you to keep that elbow up. Now at setup I make note of where my right elbow is and use it as a reference point to point my elbow at when I’m in that 10 or 11 o’clock area.
Same connection with driver swing? Tks
@Temple Pace,
Yes - It's the same swing (and connections) with every club in your bag.... (except the putter, perhaps 😆) Just some minor setup differences and naturally occurring shaft plane changes as we graduate up in club length from short irons to woods.

Thank you.
I was working on this recently because I had became disconnected, my next problem was due to lack of confidence I started to snatch and take the Club back far to fast, so basically not winding up my Back Swing.
It wasn’t until someone said my Back Swing was really Fast, it then made sense.
When I played at my Peak my back swing was slow and deliberate and could feel myself coiling, especially with my Driver, I didn’t have to think about coming back to the Ball or my follow through it just happened.
My Best Drives it felt like the Club was almost pulling my arms out of my sockets after the Ball had gone.
I have looked at a few Touring Professionals Back Swings and the majority are slow and deliberate but there are many that are also fast, I mainly put that down to the physical attributes as the Modern Players spend a lot more time working in the Gym on the Muscles needed to Work the Club.
It’s definitely something worth experimenting with, but for many of us I don’t think there is any better system of trying to coil like a spring and winding up the energy force for a powerful and effortless Swing.
There is no universally ideal tempo, Peter. We each have to dial in our own unique internal metronome and find the rhythm that performs best for our swing, be it Nick Price, Ernie Els, or somewhere in between.
TS
@@SagutoGolf I realise that as I recently watched Tommy Fleetwood, his tempo is very fast
Relative to some, yes. Relative to others, not so much. What is deemed "fast" or "slow" is left to the eyes of the beholder. The key is to find and dial in YOUR ideal tempo. Then you'll learn to feel when you get too quick or slow relative to that.
Hi Tom - I've recently been focusing on getting the tension out of my arms and feeling the whoosh of the club head - which has helped me gain distance. I'm now trying this tip but it feels like there's a conflict - I can't seem to do as you suggest without tensing my arms. Any suggestions?
Hi @sue Mason,
Staying connected without being tense are not mutually exclusive! Just try to emphasize the upper arm connections to the sides of your chest while keeping the forearms and wrists "soft". You can also try sticking a tee under each armpit and then hitting balls with that same "whoosh feeling while keeping the tees in place throughout the entire swing.
I hope that helps!
Tom
@@SagutoGolf cheers Tom
Would this still be a good swing thought even if your over the shoulder but not super steep?
I suppose it would be helpful to some extent, Zach, but the swing in general would be much more effective in terms of harnessing physics and geometry if you took it in and deep rather than up and steep.
