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.

The best part of Tom's videos is the simplicity and ease in which he explains things. For a golfer of my skill level (about a 13 or 14 handicap) doing the basics and staying within my ability keeps the game fun and enjoyable. Most golf tip videos spend 15 minutes basically not saying anything useful and of are no help. I need basic, fundamental golf tips and Tom delivers every time!
I sincerely appreciate your kind words, and I'm very glad to know that my lesson content and teaching style are resonating well with you and providing clarity in the muddied, overly complicated, oft-conflicting realm of golf instruction.
Thanks so much for your support and keep up the great work!!

Have you enrolled yet? It will put you on the fast track towards really mastering this system and taking ownership of a consistent, powerful, low-maintenance, body-friendly swing. Thousands of men and women from across the globe - including many seasoned, low-handicap, competitive players and spanning all age ranges from junior to super-senior - are now enjoying the best golf of their lives as a result, and I'm happy to let their unsolicited testimonials tell the story: saguto.golf/p/sagutogolfreviews.
Your system completely changed my game. I went from shooting over 100 and wanting to quit due to embarrassment....now I am actually having fun out there and hitting some impressive shots. I still have a long way to go, but golf is fun for me now because I have the ability to hit good shots. I’ve even had a few friends of mine who are very good golfers compliment my swing.
You had me at FUN, because that is ultimately what this is all about!!
Great job and thanks for sharing!!
Effective coaches know how to explain things simply and clearly. Plus they are relaxed and relentlessly positive, which takes pressure off the student.
This guy is a very effective coach.
Thanks - I sincerely appreciate your kind words and I'm glad you are enjoying my instruction content!!
Another gem. Wooden swing, no hands, point shoulder down with a shorter backswing. Consistency and pure strike is phenomenal.
Awesome! I'm glad this lesson resonated with you, and I'm very glad to learn of your resulting dramatic ball striking improvement. Nice job incorporating it into your swing!!
Now, I wouldn't necessarily call this a "wooden" swing as there is no stiffness or tension involved. Instead, we are just getting to our body's natural stopping point where the hips and shoulders have completed their tilted rotation, , the lead arm has crossed the chest 45 degrees, and the wrists have properly set without any contrived or forced action. This is the point where if we were to try to go any further any or all of the following will occur:
1) the lead arm will bend and/or lift
2) the wrists will break down
3) the lead knee will kick inward towards the trail side
4) the lead shoulder will level out and lose its orientation towards the ball
5) weight will shift into the trail side and bring the low point back with it, resulting in inconsistent contact and unpredictable ball flight.
6) you'll "chicken wing" and/or flip through impact
7) pain, discomfort, and/or possible injury
We don't need to try to get to "parallel" with this swing, and fighting your body in an attempt to do so will result in some combination of the above issues. If you execute this swing properly you will have created width and plenty of distance for that club to travel by taking it in deep, and that will enable you to harness the tremendous power source known as "angular momentum".
Thanks again for your message and keep up the great work!

Tom, you’re actually my hero 😍😍😍
LOL!! Thanks - I'm happy to be of service!!
You're bringing me back to so many things I did when I was a 5 handicap. Chest to the ball. One of my favorite swing thoughts.
Cool. Now let's get that 5 back!!!
Hi Tom,
I’m back again with another update. My handicap went up for a while after viewing your videos because I had a lot of demons in my swing that had to be cured. And, I was counting every stroke per the rules of golf to get an accurate picture of how much I needed to improve. Yesterday I played in a golf event with about 150 other guys. After reviewing your videos the day before and putting in some practice, I shot 80 and finished the tournament with the low net score of the day: 5 under par 67. I hit more fairways and more greens in regulation than ever before. If I was putting better I could have easily broken 80. My days of frustration golf are in the rear view mirror. Thanks for sharing your philosophy and process for playing better golf. 🙂
Congratulations - that's AWESOME, Paul!
I'm thrilled to know that you are now experiencing the fruits of your dedication and effort!
Thanks for sharing your success, keep up the great work, and most importantly - have fun out there!!
Tom
Out with you, demons!
Tom you're a fantastic golf instructor! I took up golf late in life and have gone from 25-30 handicap to 12-15 handicap thanks to your simplified lessons. Would highly recommend for high handicap, beginner & senior golfers. Makes golf fun and easy with less back stress, etc. Thank's Tom!
That's fabulous, Todd!! 💪💪 I sincerely appreciate your kind words regarding my instruction content and teaching style, and I am thrilled to learn of your dramatic improvement!!

Thanks David - I'm glad you enjoyed this episode!
Awesome. Love your simplified teaching approach. Thank you
Thanks Ron - I appreciate that!!
Tom, your training has changed my game totally and all for the much better. I'm enjoying golf the most I have since I started back a few years ago. Shortly after I started your course I saw things in the golf swing that I knew were there, but couldn't get there. I'm there now. I just have to practice the training you provided. I have a relationship with the ball in my swing that I was missing. I now feel totally involved with it in my swing now. I have been taking my time with your lessons, not going forward until I was comfortable where I was and it's worked wonderfully. Thank you Tom. Awesome training in more detail than any books or videos I've ever watched.
I'm very glad to learn of your improvement, Scott, and great job embracing and patiently working your way through the process!! 💪💪
This powerful, consistent, body-friendly swing system is designed to provide a lifetime of blissful ball striking up to and including at the game's most elite levels.
Thanks so much for your kind words as well as for your support in sharing your success, and keep up the great work!!

Tom, I would like to apologise to you for overlooking your You Tube Channel as being 80 years old I felt your S&T swing would not be the thing for me to try..To me it seemed like the type of swing for a much younger golfer, as you are. Recently I saw a video by Rob Cheney where he convinced me that this swing would not harm my body anymore than any other. Today I tried the S&T swing at my golf range after watching a couple of your videos and I am now "Hooked".I could not believe how quickly I got into the swing and hit the ball consistently pure and without much effort I was increasing my normal distances for each club. I did not try the driver but will do so next time.Again I,m sorry that I overlooked your videos but now know this swing has no age barriers and is kind to the body.Best regards from a satisfied old man.
No apology necessary, Bob!! The Stack & Tilt swing is a very body-friendly method. For me this is supported by my personal experience as a player and furthered by the fact that the majority of my students are in their 60's, 70's, and 80's - i.e.: a smorgasbord of chronic ailments, physical limitations, back/shoulder/knee/hip pain, 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.

Tom
love that your hitting balls plus your advice is key, thx
Thanks - glad you enjoyed it!!
Keep them coming man! Thank you!
My pleasure - I'm glad you're enjoying the lesson videos!!
Just saw your video today and realized i do this and my shots are pure. When i try to bring my leff arm more for a longer backswing and it is a terrible shot after. I love my 5i. 200 yards average. But i need to learn to use a 3i.
I'm glad to know that you already do this and have an understanding of the consequences of going too far. The key here is to avoid exceeding your body's natural stopping point in the backswing where the tilting, turning, and extending motions are complete and the lead arm has crossed the chest 45 degrees. This is the point where if we were to try to go any further any or all of the following will occur:
1) the lead arm will bend and/or lift
2) the wrists will break down
3) the lead knee will kick inward towards the trail side
4) the lead shoulder will level out and lose its orientation towards the ball
5) weight will shift into the trail side and bring the low point back with it, resulting in inconsistent contact and unpredictable ball flight.
6) you'll "chicken wing" and/or flip through impact
7) pain, discomfort, and/or possible injury
Now, get out there and figure out that 3 iron!!
Cheers!

I am so grateful to you and your teaching, I finally have a system that works.⛳️
I'm very glad to know that my instruction is resonating with you, Lee! And you nailed it when you said "system", because that's exactly what this is. It's not a swing "style" or a collection of tips and fixes; it is indeed a complete system for a consistent, powerful, body-friendly swing that produces a repeatable, predictable ball flight.
Thanks for sharing your success and keep up the great work!!

My winter practice is so much fun at range now as I am doing the same thing over and over again. Before, I was one of those idiots that was exasperated at the end of 100 balls as I tweaked, tweaked, tweaked and tweaked some more!! So detrimental, so depressing! No more tho, yes, it will take time, but weight forward, straight left arm, straight right leg, it just works!! Thanks Tom, just thanks for giving me the chance to start enjoying the game again
Thanks again for your great comments, Simon. I'm thrilled for your improvement and enjoyment!!

I watch all of these and suddenly.. Last night around 3am... I finally GOT it!🤯 went to the range today and them the simulator at my golf shop and I'm getting 15+ yards more from each club. I'm 5 hybrid is my 200-205 club and I'm hitting it 225-230! This is gonna mess up all my distances but I finally get it. Unbelievable. I'm in shock.
That's awesome, Clubber!! 💪💪

You make too much sense. I dont think anyone is a more Ben Hogan fan than myself.
Thanks
I sincerely appreciate that, Gary!
Mr. Hogan delivered - and continues to deliver posthumously - phenomenal and timeless instructional value, right?! But there are just so many misconceptions about Hogan’s swing out there - particularly within the realm of misunderstood or misapplied teachings - that have sadly relegated generations of golfers to the vast abyss of chronic frustration. I'm doing my best to clear these up one by one and put an end to this madness, because if we can get Hogan right there are tremendously effective swing keys to be garnered.
By the way, due to their popularity I've combined my Hogan lesson videos into a playlist series on this channel. Here's the link if you are interested: ua-cam.com/play/PLV62KxT7Mp7IyNDRp0hZK1F1OScdXx-u1.html

Tom, thanks for your simple, smooth training tips, and especially for using the term lead and trail,and front and rear, for describing arms and leg actions, instead of using left and right, like other instructors do. Makes it much easier for us oddball lefty golfers to understand instead of transposing everything, as left is right and right is left, when watching most training videos, for us southpaws, and that’s really annoying and distracting.
Great Videos !
I try my best in that regard, Ry, though admittedly I do occasionally forget. I'm a natural lefty in certain things (eating, writing), so perhaps I have some innate sympathies for the cause....😎
Anyway, I'm glad to know that you are enjoying the content!!
Great video as always .
Thanks Jonathan!!
This video hit home with me … after this and forward/forward/forward I saw instant improvement
Definitely a lot of practice ahead of me but worth it … thanks Tom
I'm glad these lessons resonated with you, @Tj Behnke!
If you are the same Mr. Behnke who is enrolled in the online school, then that's the place to be for properly and incrementally drilling in your feels and building your swing. If you are not the same person, well then that's still the case 😎 and here's a link if you'd like to know more about it: saguto.golf
Keep up the great work!
Tom
Excellent tip Thomas
Thanks Thomas - I'm glad it resonated well with you!!
This might be the best video I've seen from you. I can clearly see how your body works through the stance, backswing, downswing and follow through...and I can replicate it :D
Must be them shorts, right Linda??.....😂
Seriously, I'm so glad to know that this lesson video resonated well with you. Great job incorporating it into your swing!!
Keep up the great work and have fun out there!!
Tom
These videos are inspiring to many. You make it look so easy and so much fun. I keep trying your tips but I still have a way to go. What make are your shoes Tom please. 👍👍🙏🏻🙏🏻💗

I have played this swing the last three rounds I am winnininggggg!!! found my swing, it just comes if you want it to, thank you Saguto.
That's FANTASTIC, Karen!! Keep up the great work and have fun winnnnninggggg out there!!!
Absolutely brilliant Phiil 🇬🇧
Thanks Phil - I'm glad you enjoyed it!!
TS
Great video Tom.
Thanks Donnie - I'm glad you enjoyed it!!
great video bro
Good Job Tom! You gave me a "reminder" to keep the chest pointed in a downward fashion for as long as possible on the backswing. Same thing on the downswing, "get the chest involved." This also keeps the body in a "proper tilt." I always strive for a straight left arm and try not to "overswing." Keep up the good work!!! Always enjoy your lessons!!!
I'm glad you enjoyed the episode, John. Yes - keep that relationship with the golf ball and it will love you back!!
Have fun out there!!
Love your videos Tom great tips thank you. Quick question, you say weight forward for irons which I understand but for the driver too?
Yes - it’s essentially the same swing with every club; just some minor setup differences - such as starting with a little more weight forward with the longer clubs - 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.
Speaking of which, if you'd really like to own this swing through your entire bag please consider enrolling in the SagutoGolf online school. 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:

Thanks !! I love the simplicity of your method. It works. I shot my first under par round this summer using Saguto method. Also, enjoyed the music track on this video. Is this Tom on guitar and the Chop-a-holic on keys ?
That's fantastic, Andrew - congrats on going sub-par!!
I'm flattered by your comment on the music, but alas - that is not me on guitar....
Tom....No question about keeping weight forward head very stable gluing upper arms and the shortened backswing. Completely tuned in with ST. Just one thing.What is your view on the trailing arm and club being in alignment...a single plane setup. Would this not add yet another aspect to ST that would reduce variables in the golf swing. Do you have any fundamental objections to ST and single plane ? Love all your videos.Very entertaining.Nothing like a bit of whit and quip.Other golf UA-camrs are a bit dull by comparison.
Hi Mark,
I appreciate your kind words and I’m glad to know that you’re enjoying my instruction content and style!
Although there are distinct differences as you mention, I have heard from golfers who have been successful in melding my instruction with a single plane style of swing as there are some definite shared features - particularly with regard to the very centered, connected, weight-forward nature of both methods. I think if you go about it intelligently it can work well for you, especially given the fact that Stack and Tilt is a complete golf swing system based on data from the best golf ball strikers - and Moe Norman would certainly be included among them. The S&T folks determined, based on a study of these ball striking legends, that they all had 3 things in common (the 3 main golf fundamentals): 1. Hit the ground in the same spot every time (consistent crispy contact) 2. Have enough length to play the golf course well (power) 3. Be able to have a predictable curve (accuracy). A player MUST be able to do those 3 things to be good at golf, and Stack and Tilt is a system for accomplishing these fundamentals incredibly well!
By the way, have you considered the comprehensive, structured, sequential learning platform of my online school? That's where - among many other courses and lessons covering various aspects of the game - you will find very detailed instruction and drills that take you through the entire swing step-by-step from setup to finish. Additionally, you'll find all my short game content (putting, chipping, pitching, bunker play), diagnostic and corrective tools for resolving common swing, contact, and ball flight issues, and so much more there. So many folks across the globe are now enjoying the best golf of their lives as a result. Here's a link if you would like to know more about the school - saguto.golf - and here's a link to my free mini-course “The Top 3 Things You Need to Be a Great Ball Striker” if you’re interested in checking it out: go.saguto.golf/
Have fun out there!
Tom
@@SagutoGolf Thanks Tom for your very fast courteous and informed reply.Since moving weight forward and keeping my head centred I have developed more consistent ball striking.As yet I have not committed to the ST setup and back swing.Those I use are still sound I believe (for me at least) and the reason for this is connected with a great tendency to overswing (I am very supple for a 64 year old).But things are going in the right direction.I will certainly have your program on hold just in case.Again your response is much appreciated.
I can't wait to try this swing out.I'm 69 years old and since being home for the last year and a half my game has suffered.I was shooting in low 80's. I hope this swing can help me reach the 70's

My favorite video of them all!! Also like seeing all those crispy shots in a row towards the end too... Can you do another video (link from here ideally) with just hits like this... every other one with slow motion as well?
I'm glad you enjoyed it, Viviana!
Did you know that UA-cam's video settings feature - which is that little gear icon towards the bottom right side of the video - allows you to adjust playback all the way down to 1/4 speed? That would be my suggestion for you.
Thanks!
Tom
@@SagutoGolf I like the new video yesterday!... Almost as if you had listened to my request.. 😂 The playback advise was appreciated though.
Great! I'm glad you enjoyed it, Viviana!!
excellent! and yeah...shorts are OK too
Thanks Patrick - I'm glad you enjoyed the lesson and my "fashion statement" 😎
Tom
Another great video Tom. Your lessons on you channel have improved my golf game tremendously over the last year and a half. Thank you.
Thanks Joe - I'm very glad to know that my channel's instruction content is resonating well with you! If you haven't already done so, perhaps sometime soon I'll see you enrolled in my online school?
Keep up the great work and have fun out there!
Tom
The half-swing has helped me more than anything I've ever implemented. Interestingly, on video the 'half-swing' is really more of a 3/4 swing... Moving to the half-swing feel allowed me to have better weight management, better shift/rotation and significantly more lag. You're 100% correct when opining the swing feels effortless and the ball explodes off the clubface - also much easier to work draws/fades. The 1/2 swing is harder for me to use with hybrids/driver as it tends to steepen my angle of attack. I have to slightly modify a shallower swing to avoid bottoming out the hybrids/woods. Thanks for putting the content out there- Happy New Year!!!
And what appears to be a 3/4 swing, Brent, is actually much closer to a full swing than we might think. Ultimately, the key is get to - but not go beyond - your body's natural stopping point in the backswing where the tilting, turning, and extending motions are complete, the lead arm has crossed the chest 45 degrees, and the wrists are properly set (preferably with a flat or slightly bowed lead wrist). This is the point where if we were to try to go any further any or all of the following will occur:
1) the lead arm will bend and/or lift
2) the wrists will break down
3) the lead knee will kick inward towards the trail side
4) the lead shoulder will level out and lose its orientation towards the ball
5) weight will shift into the trail side and bring the low point back with it, resulting in inconsistent contact and unpredictable ball flight.
6) you'll "chicken wing" and/or flip through impact
7) pain, discomfort, and/or possible injury
We don't need to try to get to "parallel" with this swing, and fighting your body in an attempt to do so will result in some combination of the above issues. If you execute this swing properly you will have created width and plenty of distance for that club to travel by taking it in deep, and that will enable you to harness the tremendous power source known as "angular momentum".
As for those hybrids and woods, remember that the shaft length defines the shaft plane, and the longer the shaft the more around the body the club will travel. Otherwise, aside from minor ball position differences it's really the same swing with all clubs. For example, have a look at my range session demonstration using a 7 iron, 3W, and driver towards the latter part of this lesson video: ua-cam.com/video/o0xscMyN3v8/v-deo.html
Thanks for sharing your improvement and keep up the great work!!
Tom

I learned this finally this year. My mistake at first was shorter backswing but I thought that meant swing “easy”. So the ball went nowhere. Now, shorter backswing does not mean weak swing. Your video is such good advice.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video, Ron. And yes - I purposely did not say "swing easy to hit it farther". I don't subscribe to that notion. It is true that the distance will feel effortless when the swing is properly executed, but that is happening through the efficient combining of physics and geometry to harness the tremendous power source known as "angular momentum". The key here is to avoid going beyond your body's natural stopping point in the backswing where the tilting, turning, and extending motions are complete and the lead arm has crossed the chest 45 degrees. This is the point where if we were to try to go any further any or all of the following will occur:
1) the lead arm will bend and/or lift
2) the wrists will break down
3) the lead knee will kick inward towards the trail side
4) the lead shoulder will level out and lose its orientation towards the ball
5) weight will shift into the trail side and bring the low point back with it, resulting in inconsistent contact and unpredictable ball flight.
6) you'll "chicken wing" and/or flip through impact
7) pain, discomfort, and/or possible injury

Tom, simple is best, great lesson again !
Thanks - I'm glad you're enjoy my simplified approach to swing instruction!!
Tom
Tom, you communicate the lessons very clearly, keep them coming 👍
Will do, @Jimi Some More. Thanks again!!
I’m 57 and a shorter muscular type and your instructions have given me back my golf swing when I was younger and not as big. With all the instructors out there your simplified methods are absolutely the best! Thanks!
Hi Roger,
I sincerely 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.
Thanks for sharing your success and keep up the great work!!
Tom
Fantastic video Tom. This is a perfect follow up to your krispy mashed potato shoulder video. My son is already having way more fun and so am I. Hitting the ball consistently straight is mashed potatoes with gravy and just plain fun
Thanks again, @Gdub!
Wishing you and your son much enjoyment out there!!
TS
Thanks, we’re going back to the range Thursday to work on krispy mashed potato golf shots using your simplification videos as our guide. We appreciate you sharing your wisdom with us
Awesome! Have fun crisping and mashing together!!
So much crispy goodness. The people in the back say thank you :)
LOL! Glad you enjoyed it!!
Keep it Krispy!
Tom
I’ve learned a lot from your videos
Thanks Eric!
Like your new 'do. Looks much cooler
Thank you 🙏
My pleasure - I'm glad you enjoyed the episode!
TS
You’ve really help me so much. 66 and getting better every round. Love the haircut too
Fantastic - I'm glad to know that my instruction is resonating well with you!
Thanks for sharing your success, keep up the great work, and have fun out there!!
Tom
My playing partners think I'm nuts when they see me take the 3 iron MacGregor golden bear blade out of the bag. Thanks Tom Your swing tips have helped me learn how to crush the ball.
Well done, John!! That 3 iron will never lie to you. It will tell you under no uncertain terms whether your swing is dialed in.
Keep it Krispy and have fun out there!!
Tom
I can't wait to try this today. Are you front-loaded with more weight on your left leg when you start the swing? Thanks for a great video!
I'm glad you enjoyed the lesson and I hope it performs well for you!
Yes - in this swing system we start with our weight forward (generally 55/45 for the short and mid irons, 60/40 for the longer clubs), gradually add more forward weight to the top (70/30), 80/20 halfway down, 90/10 impact, and 95/5 finish. The result is a centered, low-maintenance, body-friendly, consistent, and tremendously powerful swing.
By the way, here's a link to my FREE mini-course “The Top 3 Things You Need to Be a Great Ball Striker” in case you’re interested in learning about the swing system I teach in a more structured manner: go.saguto.golf/
