Every now and again, you need to take a step back and say, we all need a 'Tom' in our golf lives 😂! I keep forgetting

[@SagutoGolf]

LOL! Thank you, Simon - I sincerely appreciate that!! Tom

[@AmesC-The-Realist]

Thank you for the free lesson Tom. Best instructor on KZbin. I was struggling big time with my golf swing until i found your channel and then I switched to Stack and Tilt. Thank god for that. Most amateur golfers don't have the time to hit 500 plus golf balls a day for several days a week to process all of those swing thoughts that the other instructors try to each in order to get you to try and swing similar to the pro's. Its a nightmare and thats reason people quit after a few months. The beauty of Stack and tilt is its simple, logical and it works. Thank you for all your great work and help.

[@SagutoGolf]

My pleasure! I'm glad you enjoyed this episode documenting Derek's lesson, and I sincerely appreciate your kind words regarding my instruction content! Indeed, this body-friendly, powerful, low-maintenance Stack and Tilt swing system is rooted in physics, geometry, and human physiology, and it is modeled on empirical observations of the game's greatest ball strikers. As such it does not discriminate by age or ability - from kids to seniors and everyone in between, inclusive of the best players in the world. We can watch any Tour event on TV and see a significant number of players executing these motions, a fact corroborated by just how many of them have a very centered swing with the lead knee flexing and the trail leg straightening during the backswing, their lead arms on or very close to their tilted shoulder planes, and their hands deep behind their trail shoulder at the top. Thousands of folks across the globe - including many accomplished, low-handicap, competitive players - are now enjoying the best golf of their lives as a result of learning this swing system through my online school, and their unsolicited testimonials tell the story quite well: saguto.golf/p/sagutogolfreviews. To your comment, compare and contrast that with the sad reality that despite all the advances in equipment, technology, golf course grooming, etc. the average golfer still struggles to break 100. Epic failures within the realm of “conventional” instruction, perhaps??? So many misconstrued and/or misguided teachings - such as taking the club straight back, turning the shoulders level while independently lifting the arms, shifting into and torquing against a firm trail side, firing the hips, actively rolling the hands through impact, etc. - have relegated generations of golfers to the vast abyss of inconsistency and chronic frustration (and chronic back/knee/hip pain as well). Thanks again for your message and support, and keep up the great work!! Tom

Every time my game gets a little wanky, I clear my mind and go back to what you’re teaching here. I find myself swaying and flipping the club from time to time. I get bad results and have to reset. Then I go back to keeping my front foot on the ground and pivot instead of swaying. Contact is instantly better and the result is a much better shot. Thanks for always being there Tom. Man I wish I could get an in person lesson from you

[@SagutoGolf]

I appreciate that, Ryan, and I'm very glad to know that my instruction content and teaching style are resonating with you! With regard to in-person lessons, you can find information here: saguto.golf/lessons Also, please sign up for my email list at go.saguto.golf/ as that is how I will be communicating updates on lesson options and availability as I move toward resuming one-on-one instruction. (I had taken a hiatus from in-person lessons in order to reappropriate my time to online school upgrades and enhancements.) By the way, I do presently offer a swing video analysis service which enables me to put my eyes on your swing, diagnose any issues, and provide a corrective action plan if applicable. Beyond that, the Precision Impact that I demonstrated in this recent episode - kzbin.info/www/bejne/nofbhYZ5g7elpdE - is an excellent training aid that will help you to neutralize the flips and keep things on track. I highly recommend it. If interested you can get your Precision Impact Trainer here - pureswingproducts.com/SagutoGolf In fact, they are running an extra-special offer for SagutoGolfers right now!

Dirt in the middle of the club face instead of out on the toe!,,, LOL Amazing sold feel and sound. I have to work on the hips first then extend. I was holding the lower body a little too long. I watched another one of your vids and saw the proper left hip forward then the downswing. I was doing it but not as much as you indicated .

Back nice was 42, had a little tendency to dip the front shoulder trying to make sure I got the left shoulder over the ball and right shoulder through the ball. Chunked (slightly) a few irons.

[@samhotstick13.28]

That was great Tom, the way you relate feel and different parts of the body working during swing is really easy to follow. Is it just me or does some aspects of this swing similar to Moe Norman swing, keeping the right foot planted in till the very end of the swing and finishing with straight arms. As always great stuff.

[@SagutoGolf]

I'm glad you enjoyed it, Sam! While the swing I teach shares a one plane feature and some other elements, it is definitely different from the "single plane" version patterned after Mr. Norman's swing. For example, the straight-line relationship of the arms and club shaft from the DTL view is a trademark of Mr. Norman's setup that one will not typically find in S&T instruction. However, there are also some definite shared features - particularly with regard to the very centered, connected, weight-forward nature of both methods. What I teach 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 from this 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 Mr. Norman certainly did! Thanks! Tom

[@gregnorris2205]

Wow! What a lesson. I learned so much about the trail leg and shoulder with this video. Thanks Tom. By the way, you have a terrific demeanour when providing information to your student.

[@gregnorris2205]

So I took this video lesson to the course today with anticipation of a slight improvement due to me learning a new swing with the direction you provided to the student in the video. First hole, 352 yard par 4 with a domed fairway; miss it and you are in big trouble on either side. Tee shot with a 3 wood down the middle. Second shot, 150 yards out; flight at the flag the whole way and stopped one foot short of the flag. What a thrill! Easy birdie, which I never achieved before on this hole. Boggied the next hole. Horn sounded on the third whole so I am anxious to see what I can do this Thursday.

Tom, love the stack and tilt. For different clubs, is the ball position going to be different? Would I play my PW back in stance and 5i in the middle?

[@SagutoGolf]

I'm very glad to know that you are doing well with this fabulous swing system, Thomas! When watching videos we first need to be aware that camera angles can greatly skew the viewer's perspective on ball position. That aside, while this system affords you some leeway, in general once my students and members show some level of proficiency with the swing I suggest that they migrate to a stock ball position that is in the middle of the stance for short irons, two balls inside the lead heel for middle irons, and creeping more forward for the longer clubs - the farthest forward being even with the inside of the lead heel for the driver (with the stance width increasing as we move from shorter to longer clubs). From there they can make incremental tweaks to see how different positions affect impact quality and shot shape. (By the way, I strongly suggest using alignment sticks when monitoring ball position - one on the foot line, a second one parallel to the first to mark the target line, and a third perpendicular to these to show ball position - as our side-on view from above tends to skew our perspective of the actual location of the ball relative to our stance.) As for hand position, it remains consistent - even with the inside of your lead thigh - no matter which club you are hitting. Additionally, the lead arm and club shaft should form a straight line from the face-on view, giving your setup a lowercase "y" look. Hope that helps! Tom

I am very new to golf (have only played 4 rounds at my local 9 hole course) and have found your videos very informative and straight forward. I’ve developed muscle pain in my upper back, specifically in the area of my left shoulder blade (I am a right handed player).

Hi Reuben, Welcome to this greatest of games! With regard to your back discomfort, what I teach is a proven body-friendly method, so something is likely amiss in your execution. I can vouch for this through my own personal experience as a golfer who previously experienced back pain, and It is further validated by the fact that a significant percentage of my students and online school members 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. It all begins with a proper setup which provides for a free-flowing motion. Upon that good foundation a repeatable swing which produces consistently crispy impact can be built. As a beginner, perhaps you might wish to consider 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, position-by-position from setup to finish.

Thousands of men and women from across the globe spanning all age ranges and experience levels are now enjoying the best golf of their lives as a result, and their unsolicited testimonials tell the story quite well: saguto.golf/p/sagutogolfreviews. At just $14.99/month or $149.99 per year the value in terms of what you get for that price point is beyond comprehension, and based on proven results it represents by far the best golf instruction deal on the planet.

[@simonthorpe6971]

Absolutely love the principles, I always have done. The only problem I have and the thing that starts me tweaking is that I seem to get a natural left strike. Feels devastating on course. I trust in the weight forward as it makes sense re consistent strike, but must be doing something wrong to be constantly going left.

[@SagutoGolf]

It's important to know why the ball is behaving a particular way in order to reverse engineer the cause, Simon. The ball is simply responding to the flight plan assigned to it by the clubface at impact. Clubface relative to target line is the primary influencer of the ball's starting line and face relative to path determines direction and degree of curvature. So in the case of a pull, the face is closed to the target line at impact. There are various possible causes for this, including the face being too shut at address, a grip that is too strong, a ball position that is too far forward, a downswing path that is approaching the ball from the outside, flipping/rolling the hands through the zone and more. By the way, always begin with the setup - in this case the first three possibilities - prior to diving into a swing intervention. For example, a golfer may have previously deployed a closed clubface at address and/or a strong grip to compensate for a slice due to a steep downswing path. If the path has been corrected, then that same grip can certainly result in pulled shots.

hey Tom random question - with your swing, focusing on ball-turf and taking a divot, do u even tee up on par3s? and is there an advantage to doing so?

[@SagutoGolf]

There are varying school's of thought on this. Some say not to tee it up since we are accustomed to hitting our irons directly off the turf. Others say to use a tee and give yourself a perfect lie (and yes - we'll still compress it and take a divot with a properly executed swing). I've done it both ways and still go back and forth, but more often then not I'll use a tee with the ball barely sitting above ground level. TS

[@hakirk1]

Tom, is your dropping back his trail leg when addressing the ball? Also his stance seems somewhat wide for swinging an iron, but his strikes seem so solid maybe I need to widen my stance.

[@SagutoGolf]

I had Derek drop his trail foot back to quiet the hips and enhance the feel of the shoulders driving the motion. This is a "drill" setup that anyone can use to accomplish the same. His actual stance is square - or parallel - to the target line. As for stance width, camera angle can greatly skew our perspective in this regard. The widest stance is with the driver, where the insides of the heels are shoulder-width apart. The stance gets incrementally narrower as the clubs get shorter. For our stock setup the hand position remains the same with all clubs - even with the inside of the lead heel. And while this system affords you some leeway, in general once my students and members show some level of proficiency with the swing I suggest that they migrate to a stock ball position that is in the middle of the stance for short irons, two balls inside the lead heel for middle irons, and creeping more forward for the longer clubs - the farthest forward being even with the inside of the lead heel for the driver. From there they can make incremental tweaks to see how different positions affect impact quality and shot shape.

[@chrisfaliao4675]

@sagutogolf on the backswing where should you feel the pressure in your right foot? on the inside edge of the feet?

[@SagutoGolf]

Hi Chris, At address you should be balanced between heel and toe in both feet. This balance is achieved by first setting your knees over the toes (or at least over the toe end of your shoelaces) to activate the ground connection, and then pushing your butt out to incline the hips and chest so that a relationship with the ball is established. Additionally, the outward flaring of both feet 10-20 degrees in our setup facilitates the proper amount of body-friendly, free-flowing hip turn back and through. During the swing it is perfectly fine to experience pressure shifts in either foot as they respond to the dynamic motion, but not to the point where we are falling back onto our heel or leaning too far forward over our toes. In terms of what we "should" feel with regard to pressure, that is up to the individual golfer. Some like to sense the dynamic pressure shifts; others prefer the feel of a gradual increasing of weight load into the lead leg from the start. However, in either scenario the key here is that we do not allow our mass - and thereby our swing center and low point - to drift back at any point.

Hey Tom, any video or advice on snap hooking and duckhooking the driver?

[@SagutoGolf]

There are just too many potential variables and unknowns for me to make an accurate diagnosis regarding your driver hook tendencies. For example, if your path was previously too steep and you were making compensations to prevent the ball from slicing off the planet - perhaps a very strong grip or setting up with a closed face - then those compensations could certainly result in a hook if you have successfully corrected your path. Other things to consider are your ball position is too far forward, your hands are too far back, your weight is not forward enough at impact, more..... See what I mean? Too many possibilities.

[@SagutoGolf]

Nine times?? OUCH!! 😬 Your shanks can be the result of a variety of actions: 1) You may be too steep on the downswing and thereby exposing the hosel to the ball; 2) Conversely, your downswing path may be too in to out; 3) You may be rolling the face open or snatching the club inside with the hands in the takeaway; 4) Your wrists may not be hinging properly (which is often the case when a golfer tries to manufacture or force the hinge rather than just allowing it to happen); 5) You are setting up with the ball positioned at the heel of the club; 6) You are losing your pre-established relationship with the ball (i.e.: a deficiency in the Tilt component); 7) More... What I'm getting at is that there are a number of potential causes, and without actually seeing your swing it's impossible for me to identify the culprit behind those hosel rockets.

@@SagutoGolf cool. I’ll be in north Myrtle in a month but sounds like that may not work out. One of these days

[@GoldKeyTeam]

Can you do a driver lesson for us ? you have helped me achieve “crispy” irons now I want a driver to match! Com on Tom I’m counting on ya bud.

[@SagutoGolf]

It is essentially the same swing with every club; just some minor setup differences and naturally occurring shaft plane changes as we graduate up in club length from short irons to woods. To demonstrate, you'll find towards the end of this episode some practice range footage of me hitting a 7 iron, 3 wood, and driver: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWHbpJaDrrNmrJo. Beyond that, if you search the word "drive" on this channel you'll see some related content. 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 aspects of the system I teach in a more structured manner: go.saguto.golf/ This will provide a nice foundational understanding of the swing keys that will ultimately get you mashing the ball through your entire bag. Keep up the great work and keep it crispy!! Tom

[@ayotollaofrockandrolla7219]

Would love to see a lesson with a mid to high handicapper

[@SagutoGolf]

How about this one with a true beginner from my channel's archives?: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mobCgJqZjKmCiNU

The man that professes to simplify the golf swing, here makes it as complicated as it can be.

[@dereknahrwold9302]

I would have to disagree on that. Only reason why I say that is that although it may seem complicated, the motion as a whole when working on it becomes a much simpler process. I've worked with several coaches in the past who are teaching a complicated concept that makes you freeze up over a swing just because of information overload. These motions have led to a smoother motion for me and I can attest to far better golf. This is coming from someone who's missed cuts for 3 years straight and now is getting ready to play in a State Open next month. Absolutely great stuff from this man and in my opinion an amazing golf coach.

[@SagutoGolf]

@xzerob - There you have it. You received a reply directly from Derek, the young man featured in this video. As any teacher worthy of a PGA designation should do, the lesson content is tailored to the ability and learning capacity of the student. However, even though Derek is an advanced golfer with realistic professional playing aspirations, there are swing keys explained in this video that are not difficult for folks of all experience levels to understand if they allow themselves to. So rather than waste your time and ours by launching a snarky attack, how about garnering some benefit from my - yes, simplified - teaching style? 😎 For a really good starting point, here is a link to my FREE mini course “The Top 3 Things You Need to Be a Great Ball Striker": go.saguto.golf/ It's a great way to gain a fundamental understanding of this system as well as an introduction to the instruction methodology that has thousands of men and women from across the globe - including many accomplished, low-handicap, competitive players and spanning all age ranges from junior to super-senior - enjoying the best golf of their lives: saguto.golf/p/sagutogolfreviews Best regards, Thomas Saguto, PGA

[@aaajjworm]

There's such a Moe Norman vibe with that set up. It looked like the only option was to make great contact.

[@SagutoGolf]

Yes! It does indeed make for a very repeatable, powerful motion - like Pipeline Moe's!! Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@bayouboy8644]

I may have to comet to Myrtle just for a few lessons, after watching this. The only issue I have Tom, is after watching your videos. I always crave some KFC. 4 wing meal.

[@SagutoGolf]

Yeah - I know. Sorry about that. If The Colonel only knew how much of his chicken is being sold as a result of all this. I could live well off the royalties...😎 Anyway, I'm very glad to know that this video documenting Derek's lesson resonated with you, and I hope the instructional details contained therein serve your swing well when you put them into practice! Tom

i will drive to SC from Virginia just for a 30 minute lesson

At just $14.99/month or $149.99 per year the value in terms of what you get for that price point is beyond comprehension, and based on proven results it represents by far the best golf instruction deal on the planet.

[@justinpeterson2105]

Huge Tom fan, huge S&T fan I guess these videos have their audience and their fans Personally, a bit too much minutiae for my taste; he's fine-tuning a guy who's already good, so he's working on details here to go from very good to pro. This is high-level stuff. I prefer the videos on the basic building blocks of the S&T swing, but hey that's just me As one can see, most of the feedback is positive. In any case, it won't hurt S&T students to see two expert golfers working on their trade, if one likes to spend 17 min doing that Personally, I like the mind-blowing basic tips, especially in the Shorts, but to each their own

[@EH-wq9my]

I too am a huge fan of Tom and Stack and tilt. Funny how two people can see things different, but I couldn’t disagree more. The simple “10 words of stack and tilt” are very valuable but I believe his explanation of the back hip and rear shoulder brings it all together. The hip turning too soon is probably the number one issue of slicing golfer (90% of us). I have taken the feels of these two live lessons and it’s like a completely feels than what I “thought” I was doing before. Either way, no disrespect, hit them well.

[@gregboggs4721]

Boy that looks like it would hurt my back, looks like a lot of tension in his arms almost robotic. As a senior I don’t see how this could work for me.

[@SagutoGolf]

You should know by now that what I teach is a proven body-friendly system, Greg, and nothing that Derek and I worked on defies this. As I'm sure I've mention, a significant percentage of my online school members are in their 60's, 70's, and 80's - i.e.: a smorgasbord of chronic ailments, physical limitations, back/shoulder/knee/hip pain, arthritis, 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. It all begins with a proper setup which provides for a free-flowing motion. Upon that good foundation a repeatable swing which produces consistently crispy impact can be built. You don't need the flexibility of a Romanian gymnast - or even of this far less pliable golf instructor - to execute this swing, experience great ball striking, and reclaim - or even exceed - yardages from years past. If not presently enrolled I hope you'll give the school some thought. Here's a link if you'd like more info: saguto.golf Tom

[@garycortesi8406]

What is this guy’s handicap? Just curious.

[@SagutoGolf]

Derek is an accomplished golfer with realistic profession playing aspirations, Gary, and he is a fine young man beyond that. He just qualified for his state open and has several more tournaments ahead of him this summer. Tom

[@garycortesi8406]

Yes I didn’t think he was like me with that swing!

[@JamesBrey-i8y]

Do you get some crispy fried chicken after the lesson 😀

[@SagutoGolf]

😆😆 At least you now know that Derek got plenty of crispy nuggets during his lesson!

This is his stance just for this drill/session, correct? Thanks👊 Continued Success Brotha🍻 RP

[@SagutoGolf]

Yes, RP - I had Derek drop his trail foot back to quiet the hips and enhance the feel of his shoulders driving the motion. This is a "drill" setup that anyone can use to accomplish the same. Derek's actual stance (and mine as well) is square - or parallel - to the target line. Thanks! Tom
