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.

Hey Tom. I'm going to join your site this week. Just wondering first, do you have videos on there that show how to use stack and tilt with uneven lies (ball above and below your feet)?
Best golf coach ever.
A bit of an exaggeration for sure, James, but thank you very much! I truly appreciate your kind words and support!
Tom
NOBODY does 4-letter words like Saguto! Another awesome video Tom!!!
You bet your ing , Mark!...😂
Thanks - I'm glad you enjoyed it!!
Tom
You are hands down one of the best golf teachers ever. You have transformed my entire game in less than 45 days.: The “Pulley “ is glorious. Thank you Brother.👊🏾👊🏾🎉🎉🔥🔥
Thanks @MAXX4955 - I truly appreciate your kind words and I am very glad to learn of your transformation!!
Keep up the great work and have fun out there!!
Tom
Your funniest one yet. You're hitting it smooth as a gravy sandwich and buttery as a hot waffle.
LOL!! I'm glad you enjoyed it!!
Tom
Hi Tom, I am a German 63 year old golf beginner, just received my license to play golf and am browsing youtube lessons to find a trainer who I understand what he means. You are such a coach. I don't understand every word, but the youtube transcript helps me. tilt and connect are keywords for me. Yesterday i caught myself on the tee when i said to the ball: "Hello ball, how are you today". I had to laugh spontaneously. Your "connect" video did a good job 🙂Thanks alot. Best regards from Germany
Welcome to this great game, Wilhelm - I am glad to know that my lessons are helping you!!
Thank you very much for your kind words, and have fun out there!!!
Tom
You need a “license” to play golf in Germany?
Yeah Man. That's a line from The Honeymooners show. Ed Norton delivers the line "Hello Ball" when Ralph and Ed go golfing.
@@Hobo_Mojoyeah a platzreiffe, Erik Anders-lang did a great video on golf in Germany
👍 I watched a few videos of Toms on UA-cam and decided to give him a try. Signed up to his monthly plan and watched some training videos. I then decided to take up the option of a lesson and send in some clips of my swing.
His response was quick 👍 he then sends back a voice over and points out your problems in your swing and also sends out the drills to help fix them.
It’s the best help I have ever had.
Within a couple of sessions my swing is getting better and being able to go back to reference points on my phone is a fantastic help.
If you guys out there have a garden and can set up a practice net it will help a lot.
Keep up the good work young man 👍
Thanks Tom
your looks and personality - totally equals a tv show.
Crisp'in crispy shots like a glutton for pure crispy-ness (Tom Seguto style) --every club in the bag, driver to P-wedge. How? Weight forward ( Shaolin style) . Hands forward (Trevino style). Point the lead shoulder at the ball --turn your shoulders-- (The king, Arnie Palmer style). Keep your relationship with the ball --focus and keep your head still (Jack Nicklaus style) And, shoot. Thanks Tom. You are the Greatest! Absolute.
Fantastic!! I'm very glad to know that my instruction is resonating with you; excellent job incorporating it into your swing and putting it into play.
Thanks so much for sharing your crispy ball striking improvement and keep up the great work!! 💪💪

Tilting is the reason for the season..
If anyone has more fun with golf I've never seen them! Love Tom's vids.
LOL! Thanks so much - I'm glad to know that you're enjoying my "lesson and a show" instruction style!!
Tom
I've always struggled with this. I turn not tilt. This is the best explanation I've ever seen.
Cheers big boy.
I'm very glad to know that this lesson resonated with you, Rob, and I hope it performs well when you put it into practice!

I did some videos of my swing today and this is exactly what I am doing. Flat turn causing my head to move to make room for my shoulder etc…. TILT is what I need for that!!! As always, thanks Tom!!
I'm glad this lesson resonated with you - nice job on the self-diagnosis!!
TILT TILT TILT!!!
Tom
@@SagutoGolf Tom, this TILT is causing a lot of tension and muscle pain in my lower back. Any advice?
@@wrenf22water and stretching, like any other sport 👍🏽
I commented on one of your videos many months ago when I didn't know "jack" about "jack." I learned this along the way and I never knew if I was doing it right or not, but once I made crisp contact religiously, I knew it was right. Thank you for this assurance. This almost makes me feel like the swing is like a submarine style pitch.. bang each time!
That's certainly a valid "feel", Allan, and I'm very glad to have been able to offer you validation for your crispiness.
Well done!!
Tom
@@SagutoGolf Thanks, Tom! You the man buddy! I love your content. You're a good dude. I'll look into your program online
Thank you Tom, your videos have helped me a lot in the change of my new swing. Helping me make more solid contact with the ball, keeping my face of the club squared on my takeaway.

Thank you for your enthusiasm and sarcasm. Love the approach to golf coaching. “How bold can you be?”. It does change your swing perspective. Thanks Tom.
I truly appreciate your kind words regarding my instruction and delivery style, Ross, and I am very glad to know that you are enjoying and benefiting from my channel's lesson content!!
Thanks for your support and keep up the great work!!

So many years bad golfing but... this really works and now I only TILT 👌
And so we say, Kari: _"Welcome to "the dark side", where the spoils of "conventional" instruction - chronic inconsistency, physical pain, and endless frustration - yield to the fruits of effortless and body-friendly enjoyment of this great game for a lifetime."_ 😆
Well done and keep up the great work!!
Tom
You gotta love this guy
Had the best ironshots of my life after this video!
I cannot thank you enough for this tipp! 🙏👌
That's awesome, @Soenke Trzaska!! I'm very glad to know that this lesson helped you to such an extent!!
Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work!
Tom
I found your golf videos last year. your tips WORK!!!!!! thank you
I'm very glad to know that my channel's instruction is helping you, Michael!!
Thanks for sharing your success and keep up the great work!
Tom
The stack and tilt is so easy to learn and so repeatable because it’s so simple. I have a had a one plan swing for a long time. I’m 63 and carry a 7 handicap. This guys dead on right love his videos it’s good stuff and will change your golf game!
I truly appreciate your kind words and your low-handicap validation of the swing method I teach, Brian!! Thanks so much for sharing your success with it and articulating what so many others across the globe are saying as they learn the swing here and especially in my online school!
Keep up the great work and have fun out there!!
Tom
Great job Tom. The method is solid and has improved my contact and distance. I have also found that I now have greater trail hip depth which clears the way for an inside downswing. I am now hitting draws and fighting the occasional snap hook. Mind you, I haven't hit a dozen draw shots over my 40 years of golf until this month. Thanks Tom and keep up the great work!!
Well done, Mike!! You've obviously done an excellent job digesting the lesson content, incorporating it into your swing, and taking ownership of it, and yes - that trail hip depth really opens the door and clears the way for those nice, crispy push-draws!!
Thanks for sharing your success and keep up the great work!!
Tom
Great coach!! There are so many great teachers out there. I have learned so much from so many different teachers!! Thanks for the tips man.
Thanks Matt - I'm very glad to know that my instruction is resonating with you!!
With regard to watching different videos from different sources, yes - there are plenty of great teachers out there, but please do be careful when navigating the muddied, overly-complicated, oft-conflicting realm of golf instruction as it can get very confusing. It's best to embrace a method and a coach - whether it be this body-friendly, powerful, consistent, low-maintenance Stack and Tilt swing or another - put your blinders on, and stick to it. For example, my channel's lessons and tips are not a compilation of band-aid fixes - they are all elements of the comprehensive system that I teach. Now, could someone deploy one of my tips to field dress a swing wound? Absolutely. However, it will ultimately serve them far better - and will stand the test of time and pressure - if they adopt the methodology in its entirety, and that is precisely what my online school does in a structured and sequential learning environment. 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. 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/
Embrace a system, embrace the challenge, and you will ultimately embrace ownership of a well-functioning swing and the resulting ball striking bliss it provides!
Thanks again for your message and have fun out there!!
Tom
Great video. Thank you!!
My pleasure!! I'm glad you enjoyed it!!
Tom
Outstanding sound effects today brother, love it! Good rhymes today, you are on one today!
LOL! I was in the zone, Rick, which usually means I'm on the fringe of institutionalization!!.....😂
Thanks!
Tom
I'm impressed. Very confident but I love it all. The tilt is sick. Tilt
Thanks Clayton!! And since you enjoyed this lesson on Tilt, I think last week's lesson may be of interest as well. Here's the link: ua-cam.com/video/KgtOLUzgQ5A/v-deo.html
Tilt!!
Tom
Tilt is our friend not the other four letter word that’s been in my swing all these years😁🙌
This helped me! 🙌 Thank you Tom, I really appreciate your videos especially this one!
Thank you Donald, I'm glad it helped you!
Thanks, Tom. Years ago, I read a book by Carl Lohren, "One Move to Better Golf," which focused on the lead shoulder to simplify and control the golf swing. This is a similar, except simpler, approach. Thanks again.
Yea Carl moved the shoulder out first. Jimmy Ballard teaches this move before the tilt. Left shoulder level - right shoulder up. It's not a turn - it's a coil. Quoted by JB. Hasn't failed me for 20 years.
My pleasure, Sean! I'm glad to know that my simplified approach is resonating well with you!
Thanks for your comment!
Tom
After watching Tom's UA-cam videos at the end of last golf season ('20) and his series on 'Mr. Hogan'...I put these drills to use on the range and then on the course. Wow! My ball striking improved tremendously! I then joined Tom's Online Golf School to work on my swing and ball striking through the winter and would highly recommend it. He distills the elements of the golf swing, making it a much more repeatable motion, which (to me) is the key to improved consistency. Thanks, Tom...you've made the game even more fun!
Hi Robert,
I'm very glad to learn of your success through this instruction, and I am thrilled to know how much you are now enjoying this great game - *_THAT_* is what this channel and my online school are really all about!! 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 your kind words, keep up the great work, and stay crispy my friend!!
Tom
Thank you Saguto golf
My pleasure!! I'm glad you are enjoying my channel's content and I appreciate your support!!
Tom
Excellent video, thank you very much. Keep up your good work! 👍🏻
Thank you, @Ekki Be - I'm very glad to know that you enjoyed this lesson video!!
Tom
Land of milk and honey…Too funny. It’s all about tilt/spine angle. I used to lift my left shoulder a bit and get flat… especially with driver. An instructor got me feeling that left shoulder/chest going down to ground and behind the ball. Changed everything. Great video!!!
I sincerely appreciate your validating words, and I'm very glad to know that my instruction content and teaching style are resonating with you!!
Keep up the great work!
Tom

That’s magically delicious Tom!! It helps me to keep my weight forward after I smash it like the Incredible Hulk too. Ah sweet surprises, tilting is my lucky charms
LOL! They always be after me lucky charms, Danny. (I don't know why, though, since I freely distribute them here to anyone and everyone who's watching....🍀😆)
Keep on tilting and smashing, my big green friend!
Tom
Perfect timing, I've been focusing on tilt lately and fixing my backswing. It's felt weird for a couple of months but it's finally coming together. Today I practiced 90 yard pitch shots and hit my target most of the time, it was amazing. Crispier than KFC! Also, I highly recommend you do Tom's swing analysis, it doesn't even cost much and is well worth it.
Well done, @DJ-Flights, and thanks for the V1 Swing Video Analysis shoutout!! It's really a great way to make some minor fixes and/or tweaks and keep the swing tuned up!
Stay crispy my friend!!
Tom
good stuff
lol you are so hilarious dude, youve gained a saguto golfer today
Ah yes... Enter at your own risk, as this is the dark side of golf. Evil swing sorcery. The cult that is quietly, surreptitiously gathering lost swings from the vast purgatorial abyss of failed "conventional" instruction and leading them to the way and the truth of a method rooted in the unchanging principles of physics and geometry. Creating heinously horrifying creatures of repeatability, predictable ball flight, and effortless power. Like a hideous and unstoppable amoeba slowly yet steadily consuming the golfing globe. Resistance is futile; you will be assimilated. Mwahahaha.....Mwahahahaha..... 😂
LOL! Welcome aboard!!!
Tom
Great tip
Thanks Terry - Glad it was helpful!!
Tom
Great video! This has helped a lot!! Can you do this same type of video for the downswing and how to start it/what the thought is? Is the downswing thought simply to tilt the other shoulder down?
Hi Curtiss,
I'm glad to know that this lesson resonated well with you!!
Tilting the trail side is certainly one way to set your downswing on the proper path, and there are other options as well. You may find some helpful downswing-related content in this playlist: ua-cam.com/play/PLV62KxT7Mp7Jxi814RQddJx3wkHqxqhio.html
Beyond this, it is important to understand that the videos, lessons, and drills on this free channel - while fully aligned with the swing method I teach - address a variety of topics, issues, feels, and/or common flaws/fixes from one episode to the next. They are certainly not intended to be taken as a sequential learning platform like the structured curriculum of my online school, which I strongly recommend to anyone who truly wishes to get on the proper path towards owning this swing. 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.

Perfect in my book! I need it now to take back my $ from my friends. Thanks A Mil!
I'm glad to help you reclaim your wallet. Don't worry - we won't tell them how you did it until you get tired of beating them...😂
Enjoy!
Tom
Dude I could feel how solid those shots were thru the iPad! Cool stuff!
Yeah man - it's definitely a different feel and sound when you get to that level of crispiness, Roy!
Thanks!
Tom
Min. 5:16 "Don't worry about the dirt, they are cleaning the club" ha! Thank you for the advice. I have played probably 50x since late December I have benefitted from these videos so much. Thank you
LOL!
That's fabulous, Esteban!! Thanks very much for sharing and keep up the great work!
Tom
He's quite serious and it's getting to me! Thanks!
Yes. Please don't think that my less-than-serious general demeanor means that I'm not serious about helping you to improve your game... 😎
Have fun out there.....seriously!
@@SagutoGolf Thanks Tom! This past Monday I hit a Hole-in-one .
AWESOME!! Congratulations on your ace!!
I'll try this.
Looking forward to it. Residual snow remains here and getting anxious to play. Fitted with new clubs ready to put into action here in PA. ⛳🏌️♂️
Sounds good, John!! Hopefully this week's weather will do away with that pesky now. If not, there's a groundhog somewhere in your state that I reckon is gonna be finding a 5 iron embedded in that shadow that he's alleged to have not seen....😂
Tom
@@SagutoGolf If that groundhog isn't careful, it might get the whole bag. Except the 7 iron. You can do a lot with a 7 iron. ie: Tin Cup.
This was very entertaining an drives home a key point in the swing. I just tried it and it seems to work (for now anyway).
Thank you Greg! Keep tilting and it will help you for a golfing lifetime
I’m a member and I appreciate all the hard work you have put into this channel, I’m 68 with a new metal right hip and now I can swing the my 7 iron without pain . And by the way the side burns are a little too Elvis like 👍 but that’s OK just keep doing what what you do
That's fantastic, Mike!!
As for the sideburn thing, as I'm telling folks, it's a rather simple equation:
Mastery of Golf = Control of the Hips; Elvis = Master of the Hips; Sideburns = Elvis; Golf = Sideburns
Keep up the great (pain-free) work!
Tom
This is good stuff, so true.
Thanks!! I'm glad to know that this lesson video resonated well with you!!
Tom
What an absolute beauty haha. So true. Really enjoyed this video. Set up out in the Forest is a great touch! 🌳 🏌🏻
Thank you Joker, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
You are the absolute best instructor on UA-cam. Everything I have watched from you, has improved my game tremendously. I have a 12yr old son who is starting to mak a name for himself in golf and I would honestly be willing to drive to SC from Virginia once a month to have you work with him. You are simply amazing!!! Love all your videos. Please dont ever stop👍
Thank you so much Rodgers family! I'm glad your son is doing well with his golf. If you'd like for us to do some work together, I am available for in-person lessons just reach out to me here - lessons@saguto.golf
Alternatively, my online golf school saguto.golf can really help him grow and build his game.

Thanks Scott - I'm glad you enjoyed it and truly appreciate your kind words!!
Tom
Thanks for this! Struggled 40 years lifting the club. This fixed it in 1 minute. THANK YOU!!!
Sweet Joe!
I will be there!
Excellent
Thank you Tony!
Tom, muscle memory after using the traditional swing method for decades is hard to break. Been at this now for about 3 weeks initially I lost some distance, but now it's coming back along with more consistence and solid contacts, maybe about 70% overall.
Couple of things I learned from your classes, a bit stronger grip vs my neutral grip seems to be better for me and I like the slight draw effect. Having my arm along the chest for the first 3 feet and club head facing downwards aligned with spine and not turning hands works great, just a few takes that have helped.
The Biggest difference is that I no longer have that sore upper back after 18 like before, less stress on the old bod. At 71, I can still break 80 from the white Tees, but now I feel I can get that extra speed without hurting myself, lol.
Thanks
Yes, Lucio - those "ghosts of swings past" do not go away without a fight - especially if we're transitioning from a prior "shift & lift" type of motion - but it looks as though you are doing an excellent job of beating them down when they rear their ugly heads!
Anyway, I am thrilled to learn of your body-friendly success as well as the increased swing speed. Thanks so much for your kind words regarding my instruction, keep up the great playing, and have fun out there!!
Tom
great stuff ...Please do a video on ulnar deviation of the wrists thru impact ...thanks
Thank you Jack!
Best golf instructor ever 😆👌
Thank you so much - I sincerely appreciate your kind words and support, and I am very glad to know that my instruction is resonating well with you!!
Tom
Well tilt my kilt, excellent instruction as always!
Thanks, tilted kilt!!! 😂
Interesting Tom - Like many people I have taken the term 'takeaway' to heart - In practice that means that the first thing the new golfer believes he should be doing is moving the club away from the ball with his arms - not with his torso rotating and the triangle formed by his arms/chest staying more or less intact.
@arun sharma - Sadly, many misconstrued and/or misguided teachings of "conventional" instruction - such as actively snatching the club back with the hands and arms - have relegated generations of golfers to the vast abyss of chronic frustration. We're doing our best here to clear these up one by one and put an end to this madness!
Have a look at this channel video with its unique bird's eye perspective and notice how nicely the swing flows without any contrived manipulations if we just allow it to: ua-cam.com/video/WxDD63quyk8/v-deo.html

Haha just went out to my back yard and tried it.
Did it work
I watch all your VDOs, and very much coming into Stack and Stilt and you really simplify our life big time, thanks so much for the value-added in our lives, from your experience with this ST swing style the driver loft is best with 9.5 or 10.5 in your experience, thanks much for the info in advance!
I'm glad to know that you are enjoying my channel's content!
As for driver loft, that's going to all come down to what works best for you based on your swing speed and ball flight. My best suggestion - once you've got your swing locked down - is to go to a demo day at a local golf course practice range and try the different heads, lofts, shafts, etc. They'll usually have a Trackman (or something similar) to give you the numbers, plus you'll be able to see the ball flight. I think it's the best way to make an educated decision.
Cheers!

You are gold🙌🏌🏻♀️..My swing is so much better now😁👌/Irén from Sweden 🇸🇪
Awesome, hard to bring from range to course. Working on that.
There has been quite a bit of dialogue in the Members' Forum of my online school on the topic of how to transport "Ranger Rick" to the golf course. We all experience that! All I can tell you is that it is part of the process, and as your practice performance becomes more and more consistent, then it's just a function of time in terms of when/how that will translate itself to the pressures and challenges of actual play. As confidence in your swing grows you should find more and more that you are playing "golf" instead of "golf swing" on the course, at which point your mechanical thoughts will be reduced to one or two at the most, and you will be nearly entirely focused on your target and not your 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 some key aspects of the swing system I teach in a more structured manner: go.saguto.golf/

LOL! Thanks for all your kind comments, Debbie!! And you are absolutely correct - it's never too late to learn!!
As for a TV show - ROTFL! Primetime will never be ready for me, and most likely vice versa!...
Tom
Been watching you for a couple of months now and just on your youtube vids I've shot the best scores I've ever hit.
10 shots better than normal. Trouble is, that when I go back to my old ways I stuff up. Therefore in the last 3 weeks I shot 54 front 41 back, 51 front 40 back and then when concentrating I shot 85 with a 6 on the last. Might have to sign up if I'm this much better already. Thanks Tom!
Andrew, that's fantastic! You know what you need to do - don't allow those old ways to creep up on you. If you decide to sign up, I'll look forward to seeing you in the school
Literally just came to this epiphany today before clicking on the video 🤯. It can’t be that easy 🤯
Golf is most definitely not "easy", but it certainly can be dramatically simplified!!
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!
Nice job figuring this swing key out on your own!!
Tom
@@SagutoGolf thanks Saguto. I know. It’s been years of trial and error to achieve the pure impact position. Also, just on a side note, related to the video, I have realized a slight squat into the straight downward front shoulder motion with the rear cheek going straight back and the front knee bend improves the consistency of contact. 🍻
Great lesson. Would love to see a golf tournament on the Golf Channel with my favorite UA-cam instructors... you’d have to be mic’d up for sure!
Oh - they'd never mic me, Thomas. They'd lose their broadcasting license for sure!! 😂😂
Great swing thought going into a full iron shot. Would you be able to do a video on tips for aspiring instructors? As in ways to see what’s wrong in a golf swing and how to fix? I’m currently becoming one and don’t know all too much lol
Thank you Tanner! Learning the swing is a journey for an instructor - you're always learning. I recommend purchasing the Stack and Tilt book and becoming familiar with it.
Purchase the Stack and Tilt 1.0 and 2.0 DVDs and it will really expand your mind of the golf swing.
Hi Tom,
I follow you for a while with success by tilting. But i still struggle up the slope especially uphill. Please could you show the differences with tilting on a plane area?
Thanks and regards from Germany
@hanno Dingers,
With regard to uphill, downhill, and sidehill lies, that is on my near future to-do list for the online school, where in addition to the intuitive, structured, self-guided learning platform for the full swing I've got loads of content on all other aspects of the game, from chipping, pitching, bunker play, and putting to the finer points such as ball flight rules, shot shaping, and more. There's even a members' forum where you can ask me specific swing-related questions, interact with others in the SagutoGolf community, and suggest new content ideas, plus you'll also have access to all exclusive "Crispier Than KFC Club" UA-cam channel members' content at no additional charge. It's really a steal at just $10 US/month or $99 US/year. If you haven't already done so I invite you to check it out here: saguto.golf/p/golf-swing-simplified-tom-saguto-pga.
Thanks!
Tom
I'll be interested in visiting this motion again once I get back to the range this year. I think Tom had another video about this as it was written by Arnold Palmer years ago...I'll have to see if I can find that episode, it was really good one.
Hi Dan,
Here's one I did on Arnold Palmer's favorite tip (Point the lead shoulder at the ball): ua-cam.com/video/bW4tRxY5DbQ/v-deo.html
Here's another on The King's 8 Best Tips: ua-cam.com/video/wOHtJBDm_rs/v-deo.html
Enjoy!
Tom
@@SagutoGolf Sweet! Thanks, Tom. Great stuff!
Brother. I tell you what. Been hitting the past two days and the work has more than paid off.
I worked on Fades and Draws today, and a bunch of chipping around the green with different irons.
I saved the driver for last, and after figuring out the attack angle, I was controlling those too. Although... I get why they don't use driver on most holes in PGA haha.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart man, for you are the one that started me on this journey. The amount of wisdom I've gained from committing to golf is priceless and I'll have it forever.
To all you newcomers...or people that haven't benefited from Tom's videos yet... KEEP AT IT. DO NOT GIVE UP. Thousands of golf balls. Practice the grip day and night... have a club next to your desk, computer, w/e it may be... because that is where the glory is! Once you get the grip, it all falls into place. They don't stress it enough that the grip is the key, but it 100% is. Allows you to align properly, feel the weight of the club properly, and gives you the opportunity to flow through the land of milk and honey.
A true testimonial of someone who committed to the process, embraced it, worked it intelligently and tirelessly, navigated through the hiccups, took ownership of his swing, and is now thoroughly enjoying the fruits of his labor. 👍👍👍
Well done, Johnny!! And I'm glad things are thawing so you can finally get back out there and have some fun!!!
Thanks for the great comment and continued support!
Tom
thanks for the tip, hippy Paul Rudd.
I have been playing golf for two years- mid handicap- I have taken several lessons with so called pros and none of them have said this simple thing. They would say rotate but the is so much easier to understand. If you rotate your shoulder under your chin you automatically make a perfect backswing and in order to make a downswing you have to rotate that shoulder the other way. My striking is so much better now. Thanks
That's awesome ultimatejay! I am glad you have fun some new Crispy KFC in your golf game. Keep up the great work!
Dear Tom, I don't agree with all your lessons, but this revolutionized my swing. Tilting was something I totally avoided, but I was so wrong. It is absolutely an essential ingredient to a successful ball, turf contact, and good ball flight Thanks for this video.
Thank you Rohit, I'm glad you're finding this video to be helpful! TILT is the magic secret to the swing.
Can't wait to try this. Am I going for "buttery" or "crispy" or some kind of a combo. And I am strangely hungry now.
Oh yeah - It makes for a fabulous combo platter... Enjoy!!
Hi Tom, I've been learning so much from you. Thank you. Is it possible to tilt down to steep? Lately on my downswing it doesn't feel quite right so I'm hoping it is just because I am starting my swing to steep. Does that make sense to you? TY,
Terri
Hi Terri,
"Weight forward, shoulder down, hands in, tilt/turn/extend." These are the basic precepts of Stack & Tilt, and we marry them together to create this powerful, consistent, body-friendly swing. So if we tilt without extending, or if we fail to bring the hands on an inward path, or if we allow the weight to shift back, etc., something will break down. Combining the motions, however, is not nearly as difficult as it may sound as long as you have the proper instruction.
Try this... If you tilt toward the target while keeping your head in place you will introduce the other components of turning and extending to put your body in the perfect backswing position with your shoulder oriented downward towards the ball. To get a feel for the coordinating of these elements we can reverse engineer it like this: Without a club in your hands rest the top of your forehead against a wall to keep it in place. Without allowing your head to move execute the forward side tilting motion and watch what happens. Magically your lead shoulder has turned downward and your spine has extended!!
Here's another way to go about it:
1) Get into your setup posture
2) Stand up straight (extend)
3) While standing erect (extended) tilt your upper body towards the target, keeping your hips in place. (In other words, if you are right-handed, stand up straight and tilt your torso to the left like it's the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Vice versa obviously for lefties.)
4) Now that you are extended and tilted, turn your upper body as you would in your backswing, keeping your weight forward while allowing your hips to turn 45 degrees and your trail leg to straighten.
There you have your backswing - tilted, turned, and extended!!
Beyond this, it is important to understand that the videos, lessons, and drills on this free channel - while fully aligned with the swing method I teach - address a variety of topics, issues, feels, and/or common flaws/fixes from one episode to the next. They are certainly not intended to be taken as a sequential learning platform like the structured curriculum of my online school, which I strongly recommend to anyone who truly wishes to get on the proper path towards owning this swing. 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. There's even a members' forum where you can ask me specific swing-related questions, interact with others in the SagutoGolf community, and suggest new content ideas, plus you'll also have access to all exclusive "Crispier Than KFC Club" UA-cam channel members' content at no additional charge. This will really put you on the fast track towards learning everything in a well-organized, self-guided fashion.

I hope this helps, and I hope to see you soon in the school!!

@@SagutoGolf ty Tom I have been playing for 35 years and until I found you I was always taught to swing with level shoulders. This tilt, turn and extend has finally made me have FUN playing golf. Big Hugs to you . Terri
Tom-
Do you use the same tilt for short pitch shots? I seem to chop with the wedges; unless I’m getting the club too high?
That looks like a good thick mat. What kind is it? My mat is wearing out. Thanks.

1st 100 balls hitting with the secret tilt sauce today & I picked up 5 mph swing speed and ~ the same yardage, it's a start (and yes, different muscles are sore so I changed something) yet a number of shanks happened which would seem to indicate that I'm moving closer to the ball on the downswing, so maybe my tilt is still going down on the downswing? Does that make sense? Any thoughts appreciated Tom
A 5 mph gain in swing speed on your first try is certainly significant! You've likely changed your downswing path and any setup adjustments you may have made previously - consciously or subconsciously - will now have a different effect on your impact condition. For example, if you had been lining the ball up closer to the heel of the club to compensate for toe strikes - a common result of an over the top path - then it could be that with the improved path you are now exposing the hosel to the ball. If this is the case then the fix may be something as simple as centering the ball on the face at address.
There are entire sections of my online school dedicated to resolving common swing, contact, and ball flight issues. Have you looked into it? 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. Thousands of folks across the globe are now enjoying the best golf of their lives as a result.

@@SagutoGolf thank you so much for your continued advice Tom. Frustration abounded on the range today but we all know how Rome was built. Your on line course it quite tempting. Have you considered adding a "thank you button" ? With appreciation.
@Patrick Murphy - Yes - always keep "Rome" in mind as you weather the ups and downs. What I teach is a complete golf swing system, not a series of tips, band-aids, and fixes for field dressing swing wounds. As such, the transformation takes time as we work to gradually eradicate those stubborn ghosts of swings past. It's a very worthwhile process, though, as it ultimately leads us to the land of consistent ball striking bliss. That is also why the sequential, comprehensive, structured learning platform of the school is far superior to trying to haphazardly piece things together through a series of YT videos.
Keep up the hard work, and I'll hope to see you soon in the school!
Tom
Watch Lee westwood 1 piece swing like TS. Love his swing!! Not 3 plane. Lol
Great swing thought - TILT. Focus on tilt gives you excellent takeaway, depth at top of back-swing. Combine this with tilt on the follow through gives you and excellent swing without thinking about all components. Online school - Just do it, well worth the small investment.
Thanks Tom!!!
Love and appreciate your videos Tom! However, I’ve had an issue with the tilting because it causes my head to go down a few inches on the backswing which causes inconsistency for contact. But I noticed your head doesn’t go down much when you swing. How can I prevent that from happening? Thanks!
Hi Craig,
My primary suggestion is that you consider enrolling in my online school. For just $10 US/month or $99 US/year it'll get you on the fast track to owning this swing through short, simple, step-by-step videos. Here's a link if you'd like more info: saguto.golf/p/golf-swing-simplified-tom-saguto-pga.

They are certainly not intended to be taken as a sequential learning platform like the structured curriculum of the online school.
Anyway, here's a quick tip in answer to your question about the head dropping during the tilt:
If you tilt toward the target while keeping your head in place you will introduce the other components of turning and extending to put your body in the perfect backswing position with your shoulder oriented downward towards the ball. To get a feel for the coordinating of these elements we can reverse engineer it like this: Without a club in your hands rest the top of your forehead against a wall to keep it in place. Without allowing your head to move execute the forward side tilting motion and watch what happens. Magically your lead shoulder has turned downward and your spine has extended!!
Here's another way to go about it:
1) Get into your setup posture
2) Stand up straight (extend)
3) While standing erect (extended) tilt your upper body towards the target, keeping your hips in place.
4) Now that you are extended and tilted, turn your upper body as you would in your backswing, keeping your weight forward while allowing your hips to turn 45 degrees and your trail leg to straighten.
There you have your backswing - tilted, turned, and extended!!
I hope this helps, and I hope to see you in the online school!

@@SagutoGolf -You’re the man Tom! Thanks so much for taking time to reply. I’ll definitely try out your tips. Keep swinging!
I can't wait to try this. I have to admit that I doubted your teaching style after seeing some other instructional videos but guess what? They didn't help a bit and made my game worse, two way misses coupled with thin shots just sucks in golf.
I am going to commit to this. Thanks for the information.
I know, I know. And I do feel your pain, as I am well aware of the story. Perhaps I annoy you at first, uttering blasphemies against the teachings of the "establishment". You venture elsewhere, yet you are somehow drawn back. The cycle continues until one day you find that such resistance is futile and you can no longer quit me. And thusly we exclaim: _"Welcome to 'the dark side', where the spoils of "conventional" instruction - chronic inconsistency, physical pain, and endless frustration - yield to the fruits of effortless and body-friendly enjoyment of this great game for a lifetime."_ 😆
Seriously - I'm very glad to have you on board!! And now that you are committing to this, I am compelled to ask if you have considered enrolling in the SagutoGolf online school?

These videos are so funny that I am starting to take them seriously!
Be careful lest your golf game then somehow start to improve.....seriously.....or not...... 😎
I do the crispy references buddy round these parts
Good stuff!! But, What about Moe Norman’s golf swing? Is it crispy or extra crispy? What is your professional opinion?
Sure - Moe himself was extra crispy - a legendary ballstriker for certain!
While the Stack and Tilt swing I teach shares the single plane feature, it is definitely different from the Moe Norman version and for this reason I do not recommend crisscrossing between the two methods as it would certainly lend itself to confusion. This should not be construed as a knock against Mr. Norman's renowned prowess or the style of instruction that he inspired; it's simply that components of his swing style are not compatible with S&T. So my best suggestion to those who are weighing these two methods is to choose one or the other, but not both!
Cheers,
Tom
TILT - Tom Is Levelheaded Thunderstricking 👌🏻👍😉

hey mate i watched your how to tilt ( aeroplane arms ) video last week " light bulb " went bezerk i can now hit a 4 iron as far as its meant to be hit head in place tilt at green is all i think at adress shot my best score in 10 years by plenty me and my 4 iron are best mates now thanks mate
Well done, Scott - I'm very glad to know that the tilting lessons have resonated so well with you!
Enjoy your new mate (and his other friends as well)!!

@@SagutoGolf what tip is this please?
Could you do a tip covering uneven lies using stack and tilt? Since I switched, I have struggled with uphill lies. Gravity wants me to put my weight on my back leg.
Hi Walt,
Uphill, downhill, and sidehill lies are on my near future to-do list for the online school, where in addition to the intuitive, structured, self-guided learning platform for the full swing I've got loads of content on all other aspects of the game, from chipping, pitching, bunker play, and putting to the finer points such as ball flight rules, shot shaping, and more. It's really a steal at just $10 US/month or $99 US/year. If you haven't already done so I invite you to check it out here: saguto.golf/p/golf-swing-simplified-tom-saguto-pga.
Having said that, the short answer with regard to uphill lies is to match your shoulders to the angle of the slope and stay centered through the swing motion. It is understood that some pressure may shift to your trail side according to the severity of the slope. Just do you best to keep from swaying as that will shift your low point and cause inconsistent results.
Thanks,
Tom
Well, that was easy. Been struggling for a couple of months (used to be a 7). Shanks, thins, pulls...you name it. Went to the range and just pointed by shoulder at the ball....Bam..center strike. Tried it with a couple wedges, long irons and by Driver....beautiful contact. I'm officially a fan.
That's great, Richard! I'm glad this lesson resonated well with you. Nice job incorporating it into your swing so quickly!!
Thanks for sharing your success and welcome aboard!
Tom
Wow, I didn't know The Kneesovertoes guy also golfed! (But seriously, these are two of the great UA-cam coaches and they are like twins.)
Thank you Sag! I want to send you my life savings
PayPal or Zelle works for me, Alexander. Just make sure you keep a little bit on hand so you can afford my $10/month online school...😂
Thanks!!
Tom
My left shoulder feels like its pointed in front of the ball now and I'm hitting it really consistently. An added benefit is that I can keep my eye on the ball. Previously I was taking the club straight back, while trying to point my lead shoulder at the ball. This would take me off center and off the ball to the point where I lost sight of it.
Beautiful!! You're now in the buffet line for a lifetime supply of extra-crispy KFC!!
Well done, @aspacepig!!
Tom
