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.

Thank you Tom for the phone call!!!! Mark will be back He loved all the info!!
Tom , have to share this with you. 4 months ago I was so frustrated with my game. It really doesn’t matter what level you play at. For me . Sitting at a 10.5 index and never improving for many many years. I am just too competitive and wanted to quit. I literally stumbled across your UA-cam videos one evening. It sparked my interest. I tried your stack and tilt method with of coarse a little humour included , haha. The results were almost instantaneous. The power , the ball flight and the trajectory was new and exciting. Just wanted to tell you I’m at a 2.5 index today. All Time Low at age 53. Never felt better about the game. For all you recreational golfers out there , like me ,, this instruction is Real !! Thanks Saguto golf.
Hi Darrin,
I truly appreciate your very kind words and am *THRILLED* to learn of your phenomenal improvement!! But let's be clear - your decision to embrace a swing change at an already solid playing level - which is no easy task in and of itself - and then putting in the necessary time and effort to take ownership of it are what have transformed your game. All I did was provide you with a road map to get there.
Thanks for your support and for sharing your success!! Let's see you get that index down to Scratch!!!
Tom
SagutoGolf Hello Tom. Just want to thank you for the reply. Yes this game is crazy !!! Unfortunately as we all get older. Our minds are sharp and competitive but our physical ability depreciates. This is why I was searching for alternative methods. I was always taught (for too many years ) that a two plane swing is where the power came from. Like I said, when I tried the single plane I was pleasantly surprised on the ball flight, trajectory and length of the golf ball.
I honestly believe today’s instruction is to have you coming back. I totally understand this is a business. But hats off to you. You do a great job explaining the simplicity of the single plane. Your methods and explanations are very logical !!
With our season coming to an end ,, Scratch may be a tough one. Lol
Great job Tom 👍

@@darrino1003 I didn't realize you're up there in the Arctic Circle! (Okay - not really, but a lot closer to it than here South Carolina LOL!) So getting to Scratch next year at least gives you something great to look forward to!!
Thanks again for your kind words - I'm very glad that my single plane instruction is resonating well with you!
Cheers!
Tom
SagutoGolf Yes , season coming to an end .. I just hope I remember what to do next season !! 😝 Great work Tom.
Tom this is the only golf advice that has fixed my slice I have endured for 40 frustrating years.......many thanks. from Australia
My pleasure, Ray - I'm very glad it helped!!!
You Aussies should have no problem with this, by the way. You should naturally approach the ball from "down under", not up over!...😆
Cheers!
Tom
Keep the arms attached. . That's the best tip I've ever heard. . From your lessons. I believe it's the best way to correct a bad swing path.. . Simple change, instant result
Yessir - You got it, Drew!!
Cheers!
Tom
I'm so giddy for this!!! 🤩🙌🏌️
My favourite swing on tour.
It was a fun one to do, Gregg!!
Hey Tom, I used this tip this weekend and it worked like a charm! With all of these "Feel" drills, it's really nice to have a "go-to" to recapture the feel if you lose it.; Thanks a million!
That's fabulous, Neil!! Nicely done!!
Keep up the great work, and stay crispy! 😆
Tom
A jolly good fix ; can't believe how well it worked, not to mention the added distance. Thanks, Tom. B.
Come on - admit it, Bob... Before watching this video you had to turn your head and look away a bit every time Matthew Wolff was playing a shot on TV!......😆
Just kidding - I'm very glad this lesson benefited you to such a great extent!!
Thanks for sharing!
Cheers!
Tom
Think you've changed my life, thanks can't wait to try it on the golf range. Still in lockdown here. I've seen it before but you've given me courage to try it on the fairways... Works great in my backyard
Sounds good, Mark! I hope they release you from exile soon so you can get out there and play again....
Cheers!
Tom
Yet another brilliant video! From a southern Louisiana cajun golfer, thanks for teaching these drills. Although I may not have these problems, it is truly nice to watch & support your teaching methods along with your personality (which has to reach a lot of golfers). Another great video sir!
Thanks Coby - I'm glad you enjoyed it and thanks very much for your kind words!!
Cheers!
Tom
Good stuff, Tom! In a world of thousands of golf trainers, you are my favorite. Why? Because you use humor in your presentations. THAT IS WHY I WATCH YOUR VIDEOS OVER THE OTHERS. Your videos are "EXTRA-CRISPY" in a world of boring trainers. Word.
LOL - Thanks Chris!! I'm glad you are enjoying my content and antics!!
I appreciate your support!
Tom
Your presentation is disturbing yet riveting! i can't turn away. And by the way, the drill is bomb and totally improved this lefty's swing! Bravo!!
Disturbing yet riveting, Anthony?? I think I like that - perhaps I'll use it as the tagline for my dating profile...🤔😆😂
Anyway, I'm very glad to know that this lesson video resonated with you and benefited your swing!!
You keep up the great work, and I'll keep trying to think up new ways to disturb you LOL!
Cheers!
Tom
Ah, needed that. Some positive Mr Saguto golf energy.
I know right!
Thanks y'all! I really don't know of any other way!!!
Cheers,
Tom
I am to afraid to try,I don't want to mess up my new Saguto swing I've learned from watching your other videos,your are by far the best instructor,you have helped me more than anyone else,you are awesome 👊
Well, Justin - If you're not coming over the top and slicing it then this video was simply for your viewing pleasure and there's no need to do the Wolffman Drill!!
Thanks for your kind words and keep up the great work!!
Tom
Youre a legend. Most underrated golf channel on youtube!!!
Thanks Luan!! Please tell more people so I don't have to be underrated for too much longer!! 😆
I truly appreciate your kind words!
Cheers,
Tom
Calvin Peete has a swing like that too, and he was one of my inspirations for my golf swing. great video from a now former slicer.
Glad you enjoyed the video, Michael, and congrats on kicking the slice habit!! And yes - Calvin Peete had a similar anti-slicing move!
Thanks, and keep up the great work!
Tom
Great stuff bud, I actually worked this out today for myself on the course but used you chanel to check I was on the right track, because you're one of the best on the tube. What I learned today - a slice the hand path goes up and then down, a draw the hand path goes down and then up, a game of opposites we play...
I'm very glad to know that my instruction content is resonating well with you. Nice job interpreting it and building it into your swing!!
Thanks for sharing your improvement and keep up the great work!!
Tom
Your video best driving lesson got me hooked I started the online lessons payed for the year $99 what a deal yesterday played slice free had some set backs but improved love it thanks.
*FANTASTIC* , Garry!! Occasional hiccups are part of the improvement process - expect them, embrace them without frustration, and move on...
Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work!!
Tom
Dude you are amazing and don’t ever lose that positivity 👊🏻 also thank you for fixing my slice and if you’re ever up by Fort Benning GA I’d love to shot a round with you!
I'm glad you're game is benefiting from my content!! And no worries - I know no other way than positivity!!
Thanks for your kind words, and I'll let you know if I'm ever down in the Columbus area!
Tom
Thanks Tom
Thanks Tom....the end of your video explained to me why I started topping the ball....
Yep - It's a natural occurrence when going from steep to shallow, so no worries; just keep working at it!!

I just finished watching the Matthew Wolf swing to correct your slice . Good thing I live in the country and have a hundred acre field behind my house or I would have broken a lot of windows . Wow ! First ball went dead straight and had to carry 260 ! Hit about 10 balls and only had a couple fade right but not to badly. I think I will use it in my next game ! Happy happy happy !
Thanks Tom
Fantastic, Les!! Great job implementing the Wolffman Drill!!
Tom
Love the sounds effects. Actually did the non-tinker bell one while hitting a drive. I think I got extra 20 yards.
BOOM!! (There's your personal sound effect, Brian!!)
Well done!
Tom
Just your tip to approach the ball through lower back has completely changed my game.i just work on this at range.the noise of the club face is unreal. Thanks tom
Nicely done, John!! That's the sound of crispy KFC irons with a side order of mashed potato drives!!
Thanks for sharing!!
Tom
Ps: I hit some Saguto specials today: looking forward to imminent vid. Good man. 😉
Fantastic video yet again
Thanks - I'm very glad you enjoyed it, Eamonn Lefty Finlay!!
Cheers!
Tom
Another solid video man! and that toss with the stick was even more solid:)
LOL - Thanks for noticing that, David!! (First take on that stick toss by the way; no rehearsals...😆)
Glad you enjoyed the video!
Cheers,
Tom
Not even joking a little bit I can’t thank you enough Tom completely transformed my golf swing. Changing your swing is so hard it felt awkward for weeks but eventually got used to it and hitting balls like butter now!
That's great, Brian, but let's be clear - your embracing the process and putting in the necessary time and effort are what have transformed your golf swing!! All I did was provide you with a road map to get there!!
Thanks for sharing your success!!
Tom
great as usual tom love your vidioes and the 😎
Thanks Dave!!
... Hahahahahahahhahaha..... Ok ok ok.... Just... Let... Me... Catch... My breath..... Just laughed so darn hard at "That's how you get the moto-masher, and Mack it down the middle of the fairway."
Another instant classic piece of Tom Saguto gold.
-Tom, it's Alex "AG" again. Paid member of your golf school online. Keep, being, awesome buddy! That's an order!
Another great lesson.
You deserve a Netflix show.
LOL - Thanks Alex!!! Honestly I have no idea where that line came from, proving once again that for better or worse I am completely unrehearsed and unscripted......😆😆
Glad you enjoyed this latest episode, and thanks again for your support!!
Cheers!
Tom
Not gonna lie. I saw your video and had a good laugh at your approach to golf instruction. Nothing fancy pants about it, yet still intent on helping others improve their game. Well this evening I had the perfect chance to try the technique. Afraid? No Sir! All I had to loose was a bucket of range balls. I didn't litter my head with all the usuals, just the out to in pattern. NO slicing (even hooked a few) and somehow managed to increase the hip rotation speed (or that's what it felt like) and I gained about 20 yds! I'm so stoked to try this out on the course but wanted to thank you already for the advice. I'll certainly become a subscriber and look forward to catching more of your videos. Cheers!!!
Fabulous job of incorporating this lesson into your swing in one range session, Norm!! Just remember that the ultimate goal of the "Wolffman Drill" is to get you coming down from the inside without having to take it back like a freak!! 😆 So run with it for now but gradually start to build this downswing feel into your normal swing.
BTW, since it sounds like you may be relatively new to the channel I wanted to briefly make you aware of my online school as that is where the most structured opportunity for learning resides. 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 curriculum 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 in a well-organized, self-guided fashion! There's even a members' forum where you can ask me specific swing-related questions and suggest new content ideas, and I will soon be adding live Q&A sessions as well.

Thanks for sharing your success with this lesson - I hope it works well for you out on the course!
Cheers!!

Great stuff Tom and like your fun attitude
Thanks Mr. Landlord - I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
Tom
@@SagutoGolf yes I'll be working on that move thank you Tom
I am brand new to golfing thanks to COVID-19. Tom, you have made it very fun to learn. I especially loved and practiced the watermelon drill which had helped me with weight distribution on my lower body. You are the best!!!
I appreciate your kind words, Rey! I'm very glad to know you've taken a liking to this great game, and I'm happy to be of assistance in your enjoyment of it!!
Cheers!
Tom
@@SagutoGolf OMG! I didn't expect a reply!!! Thank you very much. Keep up the awesome work and humor 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I just have to tell you...
I just shot my lowest 9 holes EVER! 😳
... a 1-UNDER 35 (at Brighton Dale near Kenosha, WI)
I was hitting every club in the bag straight and "crispy like KFC" 😏
It was chilly (barely 60), wet (over 4" the last 3 days) and somewhat windy, but...
Wow! I have NEVER shot UNDER par before. What a feeling!
Thanks, Tom
Keep up the good work 👍🏻
That is *AWESOME* , Mike!!! And to shoot your best score in what seems like British Open conditions?? WOW!!
Congratulations, and thanks so much for sharing your great success!!!
Stay crispy, my friend!!!
Tom
Bad ass. Thanks Tom.
Glad you enjoyed it, Papa G!!
Tom
Tom had another video that i saw just the other day that was along the same lines . He had me bring the club out in front and loop it behind . i finally started to hit the ball strait and some draws . it works people . im going tomorrow to play with dad i will repost how i did . i have just started to golf probably like 14 rounds or so . i cant wait to play better . Still have some contact issues with irons and 3 wood . Thanks again love the content of your channel .
Thanks Vern - I appreciate the kind words and hope this works well for you!!
Tom
@@SagutoGolf i didnt do too bad i think i was too far from the ball . i didnt realize it but im reaching too much
Good stuff, loved it. Got a smile on my face as I type this. Can't wait to watch 7DEADLY SINS.
Your video reminded me of the Karate Kid.
Show me Lasso the cow.
Enjoy all your videos they take on a fresh view of the golf swing.
Legend 👊🏻
Glad you enjoyed it!
I rarely slice since implementing Tom’s teaching. Shot even from the tips today until I 3 putted 8 and double 9... 😂. But i did hook my drive on 9- not a single slice for 9 holes.
That's *AWESOME* , David!!
Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work!!!
Tom
13:30, need to keep my path right in this slot. looks so smooth
Thanks - I'm glad to know that this lesson resonated with you and I hope it performs well when you put it to practice!
By the way, here is a link to my FREE mini course “The Top 3 Things You Need to Be a Great Ball Striker” where you can learn some key aspects of the swing system I teach in a more structured manner: go.saguto.golf/
Tom
Hi Tom. It takes a while for me to feel your online teaching to sink in, but after disciplined practice and a few rounds, and a bit of self video (v important - as you think you’re doing something right until you slow it down and see how your body is not yet obeying your mind - all on indisputable film! ), I can see the crispier benefits; I’m feeling more and more confident. I can sense finally I have a plan! Looking good. 🇬🇧 . You’re a good teacher. 😎✅⛳️🏌️♂️
It's all about embracing the process, putting in the necessary time and work, and being PATIENT! (And yes - video is a tool that is readily available to nearly everyone in the "civilized" world, so we should absolutely take advantage of it. How quickly we then come to understand the difference between "feel" and "real"!!)
Well done, Nick. Well done, indeed!!
Cheers,
Tom
Thanks Tom. I’ll keep you posted. 👍
Love it...and have changed my swing path to come from the inside now but seem to be leaving the club face open at impact and pushing my drives right instead of slicing it. Any tip to help me square the face better as well?
Glad it worked for you, Dave!!
There are several videos on this channel related to the downswing and impact that may help.

Have you considered doing a coaching course vlog? Like maybe play a few holes showing the different types of shots players would encounter and tips on how your swing thoughts/process/teachings can apply? I personally would love to see something like that.
i second this
Have y'all seen my course vlog from last month?? Here's the link: ua-cam.com/video/CSAvOMD7m_A/v-deo.html
I hope to do more of these in the future as the schedule permits!
Thanks!
Tom
SagutoGolf dang I guess I missed it! Thanks bud!
When I first saw your videos about 2 months ago I thought you were a nut. But I tried and persisted with what you’ve been teaching and it works. I’m now hitting further than friends I have been playing with for years and am in total control. In fact, I’ve never hit it better or understood more about the swing than what I’m doing not. I’m more playing off 3 and going lower. My friends are also becoming Saguto devotees. You’re still a nut but I get it. Very clever and spot on. Thanks again. Steve from Sydney Australia.
Thanks for re-clarifying that I'm still a nut, Steve, because I definitely do NOT want to lose my connection with that critical component of my channel!.....😆
I am thrilled to learn of your great improvement - you've obviously done a tremendous job at quickly and effectively incorporating the instruction provided here into your game, and I commend you for that!!
I appreciate you sharing your success with me and sharing my channel with your friends! Please give a hearty "Cheers" to your fellow SagutoGolfers down there in Sydney for me!!
Tom
@@SagutoGolf Tom, now that I'm hitting the ball better than ever, I should be playing off scratch or plus 1 - BUT I keep making stupid errors. Perhaps you can address that type of thing too?
@@StevenKugel I addressed a little bit of that in my first on course vlog. That's likely the setting where I will continue to do so - assuming I can find time to get out there and do it again LOL!
Love it!
Definitely getting on this later.
Suppose majority of us weekend golfers are guilty of trying to hit it straight. So if we try mastering of hitting said draw every shot, you can at least try eliminating one side of the course.
My fave swing on tour!!
Yep - And once you learn how to hit that nice push draw, a beautiful power fade using the same swing is just a couple of minor setup tweaks away!!
Glad you enjoyed the video!
Tom
New shoes, pants and a haircut! Livin' the dream I see! thanks for all your vids!!
LOL! Thanks Max! Just another great day in the wacky world of SagutoGolf!!
Cheers!
Tom
Tom,l see Matt W.as JIMFuryk x 3.swing paths to me look very similar.and furyk has had some success...thanks.
Yep - I'd say so!
Hi Tom, what about if your problem isnt swing plane but squaring the clubface? Can we please have a video on this to fix a severe slice. thanks
Hi Chris,
Here's an impact video that may help: ua-cam.com/video/Fe2kQ44azJ4/v-deo.html

Best tip ever.
Word.
LOL - Thanks Larry!!

Love the lasso the cow image
Thanks Fr. Paul! That's how we take an over-the-top chop and MOOOOve it to a nice inside path... 😆
I'm glad you enjoyed that visual!
Tom
I came to unlearn the slice now I want to learn the spear technique at 11:15. Tom Saguto we salute you! 😂
Yeah - That was rather epic and smooth, Allen, wasn't it?? I must have innately channeled some previously unknown tribal roots that are undeniably a component of my ancestry DNA.......😆😆
I'm a long time hacker Tom and these vids are telling me a lot. Will try this one out! (Beavis and Butthead approved)
Sounds good, John!!

Tom will this laso drill work for all the clubs? Thanks
It certainly should, William, since it’s essentially the same swing with every club; just some minor setup differences and naturally occurring shaft plane changes as we graduate up in club length from short irons to woods.
Tom
Boy, it would be really fun to play a round of golf with you. Lots of yuks!
Gotta have fun out there!!
Along those lines, here's a 9-hole Course Vlog in case you haven't already seen it: ua-cam.com/video/YLVhf0VdWSw/v-deo.html
Cheers!
Tom
Do you suggest this drill done with irons as well?
Sure, but since the driver is sliced more severely than any other club I elected to focus on it.
Thanks,
Tom
Is this for all clubs or just driver, tend not to slice my irons like my driver or woods
trigger kato - This drill can be applied to any clubs that you are slicing.
It is very important to 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.

Best regards,

I will have a watch, I don't slice but interested to see the workings of this. Wolff has an insane swing, all sorts of angles and he does that little "Elvis" hip thing before he starts the swing. It appears he looks at the target when he does that?? maybe it's a very visible key for him to start the swing? "look at the target, look at the ball, let it go".. some players do next to nothing that you can see, although I suspect they do have at least some mental "go!" sign to start it off with??
It was an interesting - and fun - episode to do! I hope you enjoy it!
Yes - most good players have some type of trigger; some externalize it, others do it in their head.
Cheers,
Wolffman Tom
I got my drill for the next range session.
Oh yeah - it's a good one!! I hope it helps!!
Tom
Pause......I'm in the grocery store! Hahahaha....idc...this drill instinctively corrects hip turn...weight distribution...AND club head speed....
I've got to hit the range with this!!!!
Thank you for this 1 VERY IMPORTANT fix.
Ala Jim Furyk
Yep!!
does this drill work for irons as well
Sure does, Keith! Amateurs slice the driver more severely than any other club - that's why I elected to focus on it.
Thanks,
Tom
Hey man, saw an ad for a golf training aid and it had you in the commercial. You doing golf grip ads now? Took a screen shot if you’d like to see! Lol
Hmm??.......... That's news to me, Will....
Yes - I'd love to see it since I have no recollection of doing such a commercial. Please email it to info@saguto.golf.
Thanks!!
Tom
SagutoGolf Hey Tom, check your mail. Just sent. Have a good one!
Does this drill only apply to the driver? What about irons and fairway woods?
Sure! But since the driver is sliced more severely than any other club I elected to focus on it.
Thanks,
Tom
Can you apply this drill with irons also?
Yes, Liam - it’s essentially the same swing with every club; just some minor setup differences and naturally occurring shaft plane changes as we graduate up in club length from short irons to woods. In fact, here is a video of Stack and Tilt co-founder Mike Bennett hitting the driver: ua-cam.com/video/7fmtzyH3rsA/v-deo.html. It looks very similar to his iron swing, right?: ua-cam.com/video/SLjwU_1Cc7o/v-deo.html
Cheers!
Tom
The second greatest ball striker of all time invented that swing! His name? Lee Trevino
And he made a nice living off of that power fade that resulted from it!...
Good stuff, Tom (again)
I think it's important to emphasize, you still have to keep your arms close to your torso when doing this. This (Matthew Wolff) swing is very much like Jim Furyk's and it's easy to lift your left arm up and away from the body when looping the clubhead outside on the backswing ("the DEATH zone" ... love it 😝) Like you said, "trail forearm is the secret!" Clubhead goes out, up and UNDER (not the arms).
The other thing Matthew Wolff does is "clear his hips",... that exaggerated pre-shot waggle. Goofy looking, but wish I could hit it half as far as he does.
Just remember, Mike - *THIS IS A DRILL; THIS IS ONLY A DRILL* ! Once the Wolffman Drill has cured the over-the-top move we go back to our nice connected swing! However, it is important to notice how nicely the upper trail arm automatically regains its torso connection on the way down in this drill - that's an indication as to why this is so effective!
Cheers!Tom
Just wondering. Did you get rid of your Skynyrd channel. Been looking for your videos recently and can’t find them anywhere :(
It was a very difficult business decision. I just couldn't maintain both anymore, and ultimately it came down to career vs. hobby. Having said that, my guitar membership program is still active, and there’s plenty of great Skynyrd content in there! Here’s the link if interested: saguto.golf/p/tom-s-rockin-guitar-membership
Thanks,
Tom
You made me laugh. Nice vid
I just watched a you tube video where a 9 year old is a perfect example of what you are teaching ( stack and tilt ). Golf Mates and the golfers name is Max. Check it out, you will be amazed.
You’re right... I am too afraid to try.
It's definitely not for the faint of heart, Marshall!...😆
(It's also not for those who do not have an over-the-top slicing problem.)
Cheers!
Tom
For this drill-- do you still keep the S&T principles? Like weight forward? Or Hands in? The hands in piece and this drill is confusing me. Like they dont align
There is no deviation or conflict, Ben. I do my best to convey multiple “feels” or thoughts throughout the swing wherever possible because we're all different physiologically and psychologically, and something that resonates effectively with one golfer may not necessarily work for another. However, no matter the variety of suggested feels/thoughts offered for a particular element of the swing, they are all directed at getting different golfers to achieve the desired positions, motions, and ball striking results. This is one reason is why the comprehensive, structured, sequential learning platform of my online school is so effective, and why thousands of folks across the globe are now enjoying the best golf of their lives as a result (and I'm happy to let their unsolicited testimonials tell the story: saguto.golf/p/sagutogolfreviews ). The 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.

Hey Tom, I was just wondering what happened to your guitar channel? God bless...

Any reason why this wouldn't work with 3 wood and hybrids I slice badly?
Hi Chris,
This swing key also applies to the driver. In fact, it’s essentially the same swing with every club; just some minor setup differences and naturally occurring shaft plane changes as we graduate up in club length from short irons to woods. To demonstrate, you'll find towards the end of this episode some driving range footage of me hitting a 7 iron, 3 wood, and driver: ua-cam.com/video/o0xscMyN3v8/v-deo.html
And here's a link to my FREE mini-course if you'd like to learn about this swing in a more structured manner: go.saguto.golf/

❤❤❤
I have been working on your swing method for about a month. I won
Winner winner, Crispy KFC dinner!!!
Nicely done, Danny!!
Tom
Great stuff - but if the grip is still weak - or people are rolling forearms in the takeaway - and face still coming in open - that ball is going to rip slice right.
It'll be difficult to roll the forearms if they take it as far outside as Wolff does, but I agree - if there's a flaw in the grip they could certainly push-slice it. Anyway, at least they'll be coming from the inside and that'll give us something good to build upon!
Cheers!
Tom
I learned a while back that the most important part of the golf swing is from around 12 inches before contact to around 12 inches after contact with the ball that really matters!
That fart noise tho !!!!😂
Wouldn't it be more efficient to start the backswing on the path you want to end up on?
Sure, and that's the premise behind the single-plane swing. However, some folks are challenged by that concept initially, so drills like this one are designed to get them to feel the correct downswing path. From there we can then reverse-engineer them into the proper backswing.
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, 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 they'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 really puts students on the fast track towards learning everything in a well-organized, self-guided fashion.

@@SagutoGolf can't wait to get started. It'll be soon.
Tom it looks like your right arm is coming disconnected from your body with that swing?
Well of course it is, Troy - it's the Wolffman drill so it has to disconnect on the outside backswing!! However, the upper right arm regains its connection nicely on that sweet inside downswing path!

@@SagutoGolf Im signed up to your school and working at it. So far to keep the slice away i just need to keep my arms connected and get my shoulder down. Thanks.
@@troybateman4827 Sounds good! Feel free to use the members-only Office Hours section of the school if any additional questions arise. Though I try to stay on top of these channel comments as best I can, I'm far more apt to see your swing-specific inquiries in the member portal as opposed to here in the YT posts.
Thanks!

Nice haircut!
LOL - Thanks David!

I really enjoy your videos and instruction.
Yeah George Gankas (Wolff's coach) is not a fan of stack and Tilt btw, but good video nonetheless.
LOL - I didn't feel compelled to ask George for permission, especially since this wasn't a S&T-specific lesson...😆
Glad you enjoyed it!
Tom
George couldn’t swing to save his life when he made a guest appearance on Me and My Golf.
Been playing this game for 45 years and I am 55. Been a slicer and hovered around a 18 to 20 index for 30 years only because I was a decent putter. I happened upon Tom's video ua-cam.com/video/8GdkZbDIdy4/v-deo.html sometime shortly before the SF Bay Area lock-down, early March I think. I applied Tom's swing techniques to my swing and had infinite time to practice and unlearn all that I had been taught. John Jacobs Golf School, several private instructors could never make a difference in my game. I shot a 79 at DeLaveaga golf course in Santa Cruz, CA. on September 10th and in that round included my very first ACE! #11 and I have Mr Saguto to thank for that! My previous best round to date was an 84 and it was one time and mostly because I putted well. This 79 was not a fluke I was hitting greens in regulation and having birdie putts with regularity, granted I missed several but still made the pars with two putts. Thanks Tom for renewing my love of golf and the joy it can bring an aging former athlete like myself!!!! A huge fan!
Wow, David - that is AWESOME!! I truly appreciate your kind words about my instruction, and thanks also for sharing your success and your FIRST ACE!! (Congratulations!!)
I sure hope they unlock y'all soon so you can get back at it!!
Thanks again and keep up the great work!!
Tom
its like a clock back swing to 11, start down at 2 in a clock wise pattern why because you cant turn back time . if you try to turn back time your ball will leave a trail of flames to the trees on the right , Marty McFly !
...and Cher's face will melt....
🔥😬😆
Good man tom a wolf in sheeps clothing 😁
LOL Tony!! 😆😆😆
TS
When you are hitting into a net with no launch monitor, we can't really tell whether this is effective :)
Is "trust" such a thing of the past anymore, Neil?....😆
@@SagutoGolf See my later post. I trusted you enough to try it :) I'm just sayin' haha.
@@neilkorsgaard LOL!! I suppose you did!!
Not all slicers come over the top. I see many, many high handicap players who align the direction of the club with the top edge of the club 90 degrees to target line instead of the lower leading edge. "Hooding" the ball. Even Drivers are tilted so they look down at the top line with what they do not realise is a shut face. Coupled with a strong left hand grip. What happens is they come in to the ball from an inside path with a shut face and connect close to the heel and have massive side spin. When they do get a clean centre face strike, the face is de-lofted and the ball goes straight, low and too far left of the inteneded target line. Dare I say it... I also see many overweight, golfers who have short backswings due to lack of ability to rotate and they slice coming in from the inside again connecting on the heel of the Driver face which is always a low cut, screaming demon slice. To observe if a player does hood the ball, you have to look through their legs from behind them when they set up. Watching a player from down the line it is not so obvious. Just so you know I play off 8 and see this all the time with serious duffers I have played with over many years...
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Alan.
The vast majority of slicers I see in my instruction business are coming across the line at impact - either beginning from the top or at some point further along in the downswing. Push-slicers can indeed come from the inside. Basic ball flight rules - which you allude to in your comment - state that clubface relative to target line dictates the ball's starting line, and face relative to path determines direction and degree of curvature.
This Matthew Wolff drill addresses the most prevalent amateur affliction - the over-the-top pull-slice.
Cheers,
Tom

Confused...this goes against everything you have taught previously about stack & tilt. Shoulder down and hands back...never a loop.
Did you watch the video? This is for the slicer and ONLY slicers. They need to train an in to out swing path. This is how you train that.
Yes my understanding it’s to get the feel of the back half of the swing not to mimic the whole swing. I’m slicing like a banshee
Watched to enter video and do understand. Much appreciated!
Sorry Tom, but that isn't how to swing a lasso! LOL
LOL - no intention of quitting my day job and heading out to the ranch, Jimmy!
Gambling is illegal at Bushwood sir, and I never slice.
I think we may have to ask Carl to be the "Judge" of that, John......😆

where’s ur guitar channel bro

Having said that, my guitar membership program is still active, and there’s plenty of great Skynyrd content in there. Here’s the link if interested: saguto.golf/p/tom-s-rockin-guitar-membership

SagutoGolf i’m sorry to hear that Tom, I appreciate you taking the time to respond. I will definitely consider signing up for your guitar program i always wanted to but now i have a good reason. Thanks for all of the amazing videos, you’ve taught me every skynyrd song i know. Great work.
Thought you’re supposed to keep the arms glued to your side? What?
It's a drill for a chronic over-the-top slicer who just can't seem to figure out how to shallow their path no matter what they try, Gerald. It is obviously not the swing I teach.
As mentioned too many times now, join the school if you want the proper step-by-step, position-by-position instruction. Please stop distracting yourself with these sidetracks.
Bring back the guitar channel
