STOP "Hitting from the Top" FOREVER [Simple Golf Swing Thought]
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 гру 2019
- The root of the OVER THE TOP PROBLEM is that you are consciously HITTING FROM THE TOP of the golf swing. Instead of hitting from the top, try hitting from the bottom of the swing. Top shows you how a little bit of PATIENCE goes a long way in helping you make your best contact.

This guy is the best golf teacher I have ever seen, and I have been taking lessons and watching golf videos for many, many years. He makes it basic and simple. It makes sense!
Tom, you have crystallized in a few words the problem of 99% of recreational golfers. Don’t have to worry so much about a lot of things. Just hit from the bottom. Works great for short pitches too. The ball goes higher and lands softer. Brilliant!
Tom, this is the MOST SINGLE IMPORTANT MOVE EVER FOR ME...to help me hit straight(er)...I've been hitting from the top so long...just ducked out to the shed with simulator...and hit a quick fire 20 balls...pow, pow, pow...every one of these balls straight bounced back towards my feet...damn you're good...Thanks from Australia...
This is the absolute single most important concept. You do this and it fixes almost every other problem
I'm very glad to learn that this tip served you well, Brock! Thanks so much for sharing!!

This video literally changed my life. I've hit 100+ balls a day for 2 years. Watched every video on earth about how to not come over the top. None worked. Tom's description of the level plane vs angled plane and hitting from a new hitting point hip high and not from the top fixed my problem IMMEDIATELY. Genius.
That's fantastic, Eric - I'm thrilled to learn that this lesson video resonated so well with you!!

Dude I found this swing, as you describe it with hands falling, one day and lost it the next day. It was a "mistake" in my normal swing and I was about to abort the whole thing when I turned back to address and my hands catapulted through the impact zone and I effortlesly hit the ball about 25 yards further than an 8 iron had ever carried before. The whole swing was automatic, and by the time I left the range I had applied it to every club with the same success... the longer the club, the more distance I gained. It took some adjusting, but eventually I was hitting driver about 50-60 yards beyond my normal swing, and I felt I had more in the tank if I could better mechanize the release (for lack of a better term). Anyway, that was 4 years ago and I have been going insane ever since that day trying to figure it out again. You are the first person who has described it the way I remember it. It was much more than just a golf swing. EDITED to add that I was hitting every shot with unbelievable accuracy. My hands followed every shot down the fairway. Everything made sense. Now I know that "over the top", "inside to out" etc. all mean something other than I originally thought. Still can't reproduce the swing.
the s&t system appealed to me early on because of the weight forward and the resulting repeatable bottom of the swing and clean hits. i was left with the problem of over the top. after some considerable time and one of your tips i realized that furik's funky swing had the answer, namely the gravity loop near the top. so i started to relax the drop/loop and with the forward hip shift found the beauty of the rocket ball right down the range.
i cannot tell you how greatful i am ! at 78 its a little late, but i am delighted.
Definitely not too late to get plenty more enjoyment out of this great game, Allen!!
Well done, thanks for sharing, and have fun out there blasting those beautiful rocket balls!!!
Tom
I've been struggling with over the top for a while ...I've watched lots of videos try to cure it. And this video has showed me the light ..I like his way of approaching the swing fault . Good job..
First reaction: “What the hell?” After two minutes: “Damn, he’s right!”
Great video!
Thanks Troy - I'm glad you enjoyed it!!

Ok Saguto...i will start from the beginning. Started playing golf 25yrs ago, self taught so of course it took some time. 2yrs in shot 78. Learned how to hit a draw with this technique. 3yrs later caught the duck hook syndrome. Could not fix so stopped playing 1yr. Went back still had the hooks. Stopped playing 3months went back a taught myself how to hit fade. Played periodically for 15yrs best score 76. Stopped playing because i couldn't score any better. Started playing again 2yrs ago. Best score 85...struggled to stay intrested. Found your video and applied technique. Shot 86 yesterday with two tripples. This is a very good sign...i only started using your technique 3 rounds ago. I will do a little driving range work im sure will help...especially with longer irons and fair way woods. Excited about the game again. I appriciate your approach in lesson...focused on the big picture...not to many dam details to think about. Everything is longer and more consistent.
Plying guitar with golf club. So great!! Thanks for the lesson today!!
This dude is amazing! We need to get him on The Golf Channel! This is what real and good coaching is!
Wow! I’ve been videoing my swing and I’ve tried SO many different things to fix it being incredibly over the top, And this thought process literally cured it in one swing! Can’t wait to use this on the course. Thank you!!!!
That's awesome, Brett! Nice job incorporating this lesson into your swing - I'm very glad to know that it helped you resolve your chronic OTT issues.
Thanks for sharing your success with it and keep up the great work!!

Agreed. I've been on the Leadbetter/Gankas/Nakhjavani train for a long time and as great as those guys are: They're simply too advanced for me. They belong teaching top amatuers and pros. This guy has some really easy to follow swing thoughts and tips and that's great for the rest of us.
I don't think he dumbs it down. He's a good teacher and communicator and conveys his message very well.
THANK YOU TOM !!! I know this video is three years old but I just watched it and OMG! It has helped me so much! I could not figure out why I was coming over the top. I really appreciate your videos! You’re awesome! Rock on Tom!
Thanks Tracy!! I'm so glad to know that this lesson from the archives resonated do well with you, and I'm thrilled for your resulting improvement!!

Very good swing thought, I never thought about it that way "swinging from the top"
HUGE game changer for me!! Love your videos
The thought of dropping it and "hitting from the belt line" is really a good thought.

You are absolutely nuts... and I love it! My buddy and I watch and use your techniques all the time!
Love this video, great work!
You present ideas never thought of. What mind!
I appreciate your kind words, Richard! The golf swing is indeed overly complicated in particular by one part of the human body - the brain and all the swing nonsense and misguided instruction it has been fed. Garbage in, garbage out; and countless golf swings have sadly been trashed as a result. This is not saying that golf is "easy" as it most certainly is anything but. However, the perceived and overstated complexities of the swing itself can be greatly simplified to convey motions that are body-friendly and physiologically sound, and which simultaneously and effectively harness physics and geometry to produce a most satisfying and long-lasting experience. That's what my instruction style is rooted in, and I'm very glad to know that it is resonating well with you!
Tom
I’ve recommended all my golfer friends to your channel. Keep doing what you do
Thanks Jay - I truly appreciate your kind words! I hope your friends are now tuning in!
It's weird how long I've been playing golf and I'd say I may have hit over 50 percent of my shots this way. In recent years my swing has gotten much better and have had runs where i am hitting it as good as my body will allow. But I keep needing to hear these fundamentals. Thanks TS, you rock!
Great Swing thought Tom
One of the best tips I've ever heard. Thanks Tom...!
Thanks Joseph!! Glad to know that it helped you!
I will try this! Thanks!

@@SagutoGolf Loving your 'punk' approach and also won the money Monday and today !
I believe this might be the secret to that unicorn 5 birdie round I had years ago. 704 cb's btw? I just retired mine for a minty set of mx-20's I found for $25.

Sometimes when I need to I turn my cap around and it takes me Over the Top.
Underrated comment
Great movie
Hahaha
I just gotta tell you. I sent you a note last week regarding how I liked you approach to teaching. I took it to the course today and shot 83. Best in years.
Larry - That is FANTASTIC!! Thanks so much for sharing, and congratulations on your success!!
Keep up the great work!
Tom
Great feeling thx
I love the video and completely understood your idea. My best golf has been using this without knowing, I would shorten my backswing for better accuracy and start getting equal if not more distance.
I think instructors can’t often understand the average golfers lack of mobility in mid back and shoulders, this really helps if your tight in those areas.
Tiger has always described letting it fall before he starts moving it.
Good video, And to the Point!!
This is the holy grail of swing thoughts.
I'm glad this lesson resonated with you, Ryan!! (And the Monty Python reference is noted and appreciated!)

Great video, Tom. I've been slightly over the top all my golfing life, but I'm going to try your let the club fall advice. Tom, get on the PGA Tour - you're good enough.
Awesome riff dude!
Dude you have helped me so much you wouldn’t even know changed my game
Sounds and feels great, I'm trying to get as low as I can to hit the driver from and work up to a comfortable position. So far it feels great
Hitting from my right arm stops over the top this keeps my right hip back great tips keep good work up
I just love the golf u teach 😎
Great advice
You're wicked kewl.....lol....great lesson again Tom.....
Head Bangers golf lol. Thanks Tom... I've been struggling with an ever so slight over the top, and it drives me nuts. I will give that a try...letting the club fall..
Sounds good, Pete - I hope this helps you to resolve that issue and shallow out your path!
TS
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great video! FYI, this swing thought applies to the baseball swing as well. You definitely don’t want to hit from the top in baseball either as it will produce the same results as in golf. Like golf, keeping barrel head square thru hitting zone as long as possible is the key to consistent hitting in baseball (point of contact). Spinning off the ball with early hip rotation in either sport never ends well for the hitter. Lot of similarities between the two sports in hitting mechanics.
Good points!
There are definitely some similarities, although baseball players should recognize the important differences as well.
Thanks for your comment!
awesome and funny...thanks !!!
Good one
Kudos! Great way to explain! I practice like a crazy guy like you saying "wait wait wait wait wait ... Okay hit!"
You got this, David!
@@SagutoGolf this guy the best
Actually Jennifer Kupcho on the LPGA does this great..lots of patience at the transition and when she gets near the ball..BOOM!
thanks for that
Been coming over the top since I started 34 years ago and have NEVER been able to cure it as just about every cure is basically just saying 'Don't come over the top' . . . . but this THINKING something different might just work!
I've built an Optishot course in the garage, as we're not allowed out due to Corona virus, and will be giving this a go tomorrow, with high hopes!
It sounds like you've been reading my Bible, which talks about changing your attitude to make permanent. Thanks a bunch Tom, you're my hero.
I like this guy!
10,000% what I'm trying to work on in my swing right now. Feels weird as heck when I do it (for now) but when I do manage that feeling the strike is pure. Thanks Tom.
That's a good one , campy,!
I certainly agree with everything you say about how to avoid hitting from the top (which does not mean I am always able to apply it--but I'm working on it.) But here's my question: If you are not to hit the ball, i.e. pour on the power until you are waist high, what is the value of swinging any higher than waist high to begin with? Please help me with this. I've always been puzzled about this aspect of the swing.
Momentum.
To get to your top potential clubhead speed from a waist high standing start would take huge amounts of torque/power, this will likely result in a loss of control, and increase the likelihood of an injury, as all of the final clubhead speed will have come from your muscles in a relatively short distance.
If the club is already moving under its own steam (momentum) due to gravity when it gets to your waist you have less effort apply to get it to your top potential speed.
Disclaimer: i'm not a scientist :)
I’m wondering the same. I’ve been keeping the club low at all times. That’s the only chance I have of not going over the top. Once you raise the club in the air you risk going over the top.
Mr. Hogan suggests that the lateral, first l move forward of the hips at the top of the backswing automatically lowers the hands. So my thoughts are 1) drive the left hip to the target and then 2) release or punch my right hand through the release.
Yes - I fully agree with that, Steven. Here is a lesson from the archives featuring Mr. Hogan and what called "the most important part of the swing": ua-cam.com/video/iejRWhuB7y8/v-deo.html
Here's a more recent episode on the lateral hip action in the downswing: ua-cam.com/video/dB4ItR3guGU/v-deo.html

@@SagutoGolfTom, I'm flattered you responded. I'm 63,, have played golf since college and tried every swing technique imaginable. For the past several years I've worked with a professional who had me in a vertical swing plane but the task of dropping my arms while moving vertically followed by a precise rotation through the ball was more than I could consistently master (the video clip of your swing at 13 looked like mine) More often than not I'd hang back and or rotate too early. Trying to coordinate/manipulate the arms, torso and hips was just too complex. The ball would typically go straight but rarely clean, center of the club strikes. Maintained a 10 to 12 handicap (by mastering the 20 to 30 yard pitch) but never made the progress I had hoped for given the time I've devoted recently. I decided in August to read Hogan's Five Lessons and it immediately hit me how dead on he is with virtually every word written in 1957. The last three lessons addressed EVERYONE of my problems, provided an amazingly simple way to address them and confirmed some of the techniques that have worked for me in experimentation over the years. Since August I've re read the book three times but decided recently to go on line to see who teaches his methods. To my total amazement you're the ONLY one who shows up. Imagine the best ball striker in history having only one devotee. That speaks volumes about the industry and your business opportunity. I've seen every one of your You Tube videos and it's exactly what I've been looking for and my USGA GHIN is now 8.9 (now I have to master the chips and long putts lol). Mr. Hogan matter of factually said he could take a decent athlete and make him a 70's golfer wasn't hyperbole I signed up for your annual subscription purely out of guilt but glad I did so. Hopefully, your You Tube free business model is working for you. I probably spend $12 to $15,000 per year on golf and the $100 fee is less than one private lesson. You need to make this venture work for your students and the good of the game. Thanks. Steve
I sincerely appreciate your kind words regarding my instruction, Steve, and I hope you are enjoying the online school!
There's a lot of great information in Mr. Hogan's "Five Lessons" book, but there have also been so many misinterpretations that have led numerous golfers - and their ball flights - astray. I do my best to take what Mr. Hogan conveys in the book as his "feels", apply it to the reality of what he actually did in his swing, and translate it into something we all can learn well from, because if we can get Hogan right there are tremendously effective swing keys to be garnered.

Exactly what I’ve been thinking. The power in the swing doesn’t start until your hands are waste high. Helps me get through the ball also. I’ve had a problem when I start my downswing too soon my follow through almost stops
You and 99+% of the golfing world!!
Watch any great player and you'll notice that the speed occurs from waist high to waist high, with a distinct "whoosh" through the zone.
TS
Left hip is moving forward as the club is dropping. Saguto golf baby!
That's what I'm talkin' about! Nicely done!!!
@@SagutoGolf I get the sensation on my downswing that all I really do is move my left hip forward, don't worry about anything else and everything just naturally follows through. As if neither my hands nor my arms are involved. Think my swing is making Saguto like progress 😎
Like slap shot while playing hockey...cheers from canada
Yessir - very much like that!

Thank you.
👏👏👏👍 that The way!!
I'm glad you enjoyed it, Francisco!!
I've been trying so hard to fix my OTT and this might actually help me. You're 100% right about "hitting from the top" .. I've been working on this countless hours with video, instruction, etc and still start the damn downswing from the top causing that terrible outside in motion. I was better as a true OTT natural swinger (at least with driver/short irons), but now I'm in some type of weird purgatory where I don't have the clubhead speed of a true OTT swinger and I don't have a flat swing plane either. Any cues you recommend? I'm very inflexible up top and that makes it hard for me to take the club inside with a lot of depth.
William - If properly executed, OTT moves don't stand a chance against this swing method as it will produce a nice in-to-out path and beautiful push-draws all day long!
My best suggestions if you'd really like to get on the fast track towards owning this swing:
1) Please consider 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 (including the finer points and feels) and much more. This greatly simplifies the process through succinct, step-by-step videos, and I'm constantly adding new content. Here's a link if you'd like additional info: saguto.golf/p/golf-swing-simplified-tom-saguto-pga.
2) For a very useful supplement to the online school, consider purchasing a copy of the Stack & Tilt book by Mike Bennett and Andy Plummer. It will serve you well as a textbook reference guide for the swing and will be highly supportive of what you will learn in my online school.
Beyond these, if you're still struggling after going through the incremental learning process in my school, we can certainly set up an online swing video analysis to identify any latent issues.
Thanks, and best of luck to you!
Tom
@@SagutoGolf Hey Thanks so much for the reply. The stack and tilt thing seems like a good place to start. Time for another swing deconstruction. Once I get a little more familiarized with it I'm totally good to buy your plan. My eyes were far too big for my stomach with my last deconstruction and I set myself back big time. A shitty golfer can't understand anything Ledbetter, Gankas, Nahkjavani have to say, as great as they are.
Plain and simple thanks. But take care and stay INSIDE and ONLY INSIDE !!
There is a lot of emphasis on the “connected” or “one piece” takeaway, but this concept at the start of the downswing causes the shoulders to turn as the hands and arms come down, producing an outside to inside swing path. That fraction of a second as the hands drop before the shoulders begin to turn gets the club “in the slot”. At least, that is how it seems to me.
Different strokes for different folks, and for those who struggle with premature hip or shoulder rotation at the transition, this feeling of dropping the hands goes a long way towards initiating the proper sequencing of the downswing.
Have fun out there!
TS
I just make sure that my hands brush my hips on the down swing when I drop my arm becuase if I don't I still play a fade or slice it's so mush harder to do with driver I started with short irons working my way up
There absolutely is a "from the top" problem in the baseball swing too, Tom.😁
Good
May be the feel is when u get to the top the arms drop to the belt line because u have shifted your weight to the left and pushed up on your left leg which opens up the hip allowing room for the arms to swing through.i don’t think the arms drop down by them selves with out something happening to facilitate this motion and that feel will be different for each golfer.Like your web site and the way you are portraying the swing keep it up ,driver swing next then chipping and pitching.go u good thing.We are in lockdown in New Zealand and no live golf to watch so keep it coming.
Good feeling, depending on how severe you were over the top you need to feel lower hands. The more over you were, the lower the hands need to feel
Nice 👍
Hi, Tom, as I did not lift my arms in backswing, how do i let it fall? Somekind of active arms in release PA 4,1?
There's no lifting in the backswing, but there is an upward component that brings the lead arm to at or just below the shoulder line. Proper sequencing of the downswing will "drop" the arms into the slot, but for some golfers this feel needs to be reinforced - thus the purpose of this particular lesson.
Please remember 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, 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. The school's intuitive course layout greatly simplifies the entire process through succinct, step-by-step videos, and I'm constantly adding new content. This will really put you on the fast track towards learning everything in a well-organized, self-guided fashion.

Does thisvtehnique applies to all clubs incl driver?
Yes, Frans - 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 do a search on this channel you'll see some content on the driver and fairway woods. 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.
Tom

Is there a way to count from start of down swing to time the delayed hit?
Hi Joe,
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. Swing triggers and timings are all very much individual internalized things, and as such there's not much I can do to help in this regard. If you believe something like this may help you, then perhaps you might experiment with different counts, or a multisyllabic word/phrase, or the rhythm of a particular song, etc. Sorry I can't offer anything more specific to you in this regard!
On a side note, 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 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. The school's intuitive course layout greatly simplifies the entire process through succinct, step-by-step videos, and I'm regularly adding new content. This will really put you on the fast track towards learning everything in a well-organized, self-guided fashion.

The only thing that fixed OTT for me was an instructor who used a pool noodle and stuck it at an angle that I had to swing under. Anytime my swing gets wonky, I think of that visual.
This makes perfect sense. I am curious about something. You always say your name and then PGA member. Is that different from a PGA Professional?
Hey Holly! Same as a PGA Professional :D
Do you drop arms first or with the hips?
My own personal "feels" are not relevant to you because they are unique to me, Mario. 😎 (Beyond that, my transition and downswing tend to now run on autopilot because I've grooved it so much over the years.) This is why I do my best to convey multiple feels or thoughts throughout the swing wherever possible. 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. This is one reason why the comprehensive, structured, sequential learning platform of my online school is so effective. The lessons and drills provide the guidelines and set the boundaries, while allowing ample leeway for each individual golfer to infuse and exercise their own uniqueness. saguto.golf if you care to take a look.

I like your videos. But I'm puzzled why your club is so far behind you (horizontal) on the downswing, therefore, weighing so much?

It's like everything else in life , this just might last about 3 years and in 2023 a new technique that no one even knows about now will be the new swing and this will be considered old school 😁
Sensei Saguto, this is my problem. If you were to revisit this issue, would you be able to explain it a different way or the same? The tip I was given today was to begin my back swing by bringing my hands over my back shoe laces.
Did you happen to have a look at last week's episode specific to the takeaway? ua-cam.com/video/xakleIvXKxQ/v-deo.html
Beyond that, 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 in a more structured manner: go.saguto.golf/

I thought we were doing a single plane swing? I am getting confused. Could you help me out?
