Hogan Said You Must Do This to Play Great Golf - He Was Right - It Improves Everything!

Every aspect of my golf swing improved the moment I did this tip. Ben Hogan always did this before swinging because it made the golf swing so much easier. He was one of the best ball strikers of all time. One of the reasons why he hit it so well was because he eliminated variables in his swing. Many golfers are surprised at how much better they hit the ball when they start doing this. It's very simple too - all you need to do is squeeze your arms together before swinging. The golf swing will be taken care of.

[@Murdock987]

This was an aha moment for me. This really brought some consistency to my iron striking. Shot 78 today, my personal best round.

[@stevenshea4436]

I found Tom Saguto in mid ‘22 and signed up as a member for a small stipend of a couple hundred a year. I recorded about 80 rounds annually in the USGA GHIN system, averaged 84.5 in ‘22 and my handicap ranged from 10 to 13. In ‘23 I’ve recorded almost 100 rounds to date, my average dropped to 81.0 and handicap now sits at 6.8. I’ve played golf as well as other sports for over 45 years and was searching for a simpler, repeatable swing and one that belies the march of Father Time. Tom focuses on ten or so absolute musts that are mostly preset or easily practiced allowing me to essentially bake them in to my swing. Obviously problems creep in but with reminders such as this video I can more easily identify and treat them during a round of golf. Moreover, I continuously catch little jewels from Tom that I’ve never addressed and wouldn’t have without taking 5 minutes watching refresher videos such as this one. It’s eerie that Tom knows the small pitfalls and must dos of all these swing elements much better than any private lesson ever offered me. If one really wants to improve ball striking this program is an absolute must but like anything else that’s any good requires practice and discipline. I’ll take that any day over endless patience and faith which at age 65 is in short supply lol.

[@stevenshea4436]

PS. I read Hogan’s book several times over the years but could never anyone professionally that paid attention. That’s actually how I stumbled onto Saguto Golf.

[@Q.FL1]

Hands down one of the best videos on KZbin right now! I actually figured this out a few months ago and it changed my game and then today I come across your video today talking about it. Folks, if you can get this down, this is what people talk about when they want to have an”effortless” swing! I promise! For me, I figured this out practicing PITCH shots! I was hitting some really crispy pitch shots and was trying to figure out why can’t I do the same in my full swing. So I sat there on the range trying to recreate the same pitch shot feel (keeping the V/elbows together) in my full swing and I did! So now before a round or practice, I hit 20-25 pitch shots before I even hit a full swing and usually before a round, I only hit 5-10 full swings and then I’m off! Listen, it works! @SagutoGolf is really giving you all a helluva SECRET right now! Listen to him!

[@SagutoGolf]

Awesome job figuring out this key component for achieving consistently crispy results!!

I’m usually pretty quiet about my game but since you commented how much you love to hear about us growing our game, here it is. I started watching you the year after I started playing golf. At the moment I was around a 20 hdcp. Using tons of your golf tips and daily practice I have driven myself down to where I’m now eligible for the qualifiers for the Canadian open next spring. Your videos are perfect for making such a complicated game simple. Thanks a ton. I appreciate it.

everytime I start spraying the ball around I go back to watching Tom’s tips or the classes on his website to get myself dialed back in. Best money I’ve ever spent on golf 100%. Tom sincerely wants YOU to enjoy the game of golf and understand we are weekend warriors, his simple repeatable swing concepts are just what the Dr ordered

Tom, I’m almost 72, and was in a big rut for some time. Came upon your videos, and with a little time, I’ve been shooting in the 80’s, flirting with breaking 80. Thanks for simplifying the golf swing😃

[@SagutoGolf]

That's 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. By the way, you may be interested to know that 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. Have you looked into the comprehensive, sequential learning platform of the online school yet? 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.

You did a video on " Hogans Elbows" a few years ago , anyhow after I watched that video I went to the driving range and to this day it was the most impactful , no nonsense golf tip I've ever recieved. Great Stuff Tom!

[@SagutoGolf]

It's certainly a timeless tip, Joshua, and one that warrants a reminder every now and then as this is one of those critical swing keys that we tend to get lazy with and then wonder why the ball is flying sideways.

My pleasure, Patrick!! Mr. Hogan delivered - and continues to deliver posthumously - phenomenal and timeless instructional value, right?! But there are just so many misconceptions about Hogan’s swing out there - particularly within the realm of misunderstood or misapplied teachings - that have sadly relegated generations of golfers to the vast abyss of chronic frustration. I’m doing my best to clear these up one by one and put an end to this madness, because if we can get Hogan right there are tremendously effective swing keys to be garnered. Thanks for your message!

I read the Hogan book a few years back and I was amazed by the details included in the writing. He was not only a great player but an amazing student and educator. It's interesting how much of what he put together, without HD and slo-mo video, still holds water. Your video is a great reminder to go back to that book occasionally.

[@SagutoGolf]

Mr. Hogan sure did deliver phenomenal and timeless instructional value, right Frank?! But there are just so many misconceptions about his swing out there - particularly within the realm of misunderstood or misapplied instruction - that have sadly relegated generations of golfers to the vast abyss of chronic frustration. I'm doing my best here to clear these up one by one and put an end to this madness by taking what Mr. Hogan conveys in the “Five Lessons” book as his "feels", applying it to the reality of what he actually did in his swing, and translating it into something we all can learn well from.

Mr. Hogan said, "the secret is in the dirt", and it's quite apparent that his swing keys have been as clear as mud for the vast majority of the golfing world ever since... 😆 Seriously, there is a treasure chest of great information in Mr. Hogan's "Five Lessons" book, but there have also been many misinterpretations that have led numerous golfers - and their ball flight - astray. I do my best to take what Mr. Hogan conveys in the book as his "feels", apply it to the reality of what he actually did in his swing, and translate it into something we all can learn well from, because if we can get Hogan right there are tremendously effective swing keys to be garnered.

Hi Tom, I believe i've been watching pretty much all your videos, and they're all fantastic.It's been helping me immensely, easy and fun to put in to practice. "Early extension" would that be the "slow your hips" video? Tremendous work, always looking forward to your upcoming videos.

[@SagutoGolf]

I sincerely appreciate your kind words, and I'm very glad to know that my instruction content and teaching style are resonating with you!! "Slow Your Hips" can certainly help to combat early extension in the downswing. Beyond that, should you sense that this may be an issue, please give some serious consideration to the LagShot clubs that I speak about and demonstrate in these videos: - kzbin.info/www/bejne/pam6kGp-n9-Umbs - kzbin.info/www/bejne/mH26lp6YfNFqeZo - kzbin.info/www/bejne/nIvciIt7Z9R6r9E - kzbin.info/www/bejne/bXy9aJiIetuDf7s I think the Lag Shot clubs are awesome training aids for resolving a host of downswing sins, particularly because you can hit balls with them and receive instant feedback. Simply incorporate the LagShot into your practice routine and it will greatly assist you in grooving the proper motions and downswing path. You can get 15% off Lag Shot using this link: www.lagshotgolf.com/sagutogolf Tom

Excellent video Tom on breaking down Hogan's elbow recommendation! I have been working on this elbow principle and I really like the way it feels. When using this principle, it's as though the arms and the body are working together! I've always liked the role of the shoulders in the swing and by adding this variable, it's "Krispy Chicken" time! Well Done Tom! I always enjoy your input!

I’ve had Hogan’s book “5 Lessons” for years now and go back to review it frequently. When I read through it I have a yellow highlighter in hand and the book is filled with my notes. I’m a subscriber to Tom’s online school and my ball striking has never before been at this level. Even mishits (yes, it happens, it’s golf) are on my target line and hitting targets more often than not makes the game way more fun. Tom keeps things simple which is what works best for me. Just set it and swing. Very repetitive results. As always thanks for the help, Tom. I’m playing to an 8 these days. Never thought I’d ever see that! And I want to get that handicap even lower. With your teaching methods I really think I can get there!

I see the connecting of “wringing the towel” to dial in a grip and keeping those elbows in. Then if I make sure to make a full turn through with speed the compression is so much better! Need to watch out for hooks though

[@SagutoGolf]

I'm very glad to know that this lesson resonated with you, Dan; excellent job incorporating it into your swing! There are just too many potential variables and unknowns for me to make an accurate diagnosis regarding hooking 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.....

[@SagutoGolf]

I sincerely appreciate that, Nick, and I am very glad to know that you are benefiting from my instruction content and enjoying my teaching style!! If we pre-establish the connections properly in the setup and have a foundational base that facilitates a full centered turn without restriction, then once we've ingrained the correct actions through sequential drilling and repetition we can entrust the motion to the big muscles and allow the arms, wrists, hands, and club to simply go along for the ride and respond accordingly as if on autopilot. The power accumulators - including the proper arm, wrist, and hand action - will then naturally load and fire with no contrived manipulations or precise timing necessary, thereby returning the face to the position pre-established at address. It's called "giving up control to gain control", and it's the formula for consistently blissful ball striking and seemingly effortless power.

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. Cheers! Tom

Great video, but why then are we constantly told about lead elbow to target? I find elbows together has always helped me but just curious as to what lead elbow to target achieves?

[@SagutoGolf]

I'm glad you enjoyed it, Lewis! Part of that lead elbow thing is a matter of how our arms hang naturally from our shoulders. In other words, the arm may be oriented more inward or outward to a certain degree - we're all different. Beyond that, to some extent it's a matter of personal preference and what works best for you. The key here - and what Mr. Hogan was really getting at - is that we want to create a measure of connectivity and structure at address that we can then carry through the entirety of the swing. So while I am less concerned about lead elbow orientation, the tucked trail elbow is a must in my book.

Hey Tom. Love your channel. Any suggestions on "elbows together" for those of us that are, well, fat? 😊

[@SagutoGolf]

Thanks - I'm glad you're enjoying my content! The key is that we need to retain the structure created at address. A major component of that is keeping the elbows a consistent distance from each other throughout the motion. So if you are hindered from getting them closer together, you can still work on not letting them get any further apart while you swing. Make sense? One good drill for preserving structure is to place a tee in each armpit and try to keep both tees from falling out for the entirety of your swing.

LOL!! I've got eyes everywhere, Derek.

Our setup and connections should always be our first checkpoints if we sense that we're starting to leak some oil. Far too many folks are routinely so quick to jump down rabbit holes chasing swing interventions and thereby making a mess of an already decent motion, when the actual fix was typically something so simple as this.

Hi Tom, enjoy your stuff and have learned a lot. However, with my arms "connected" and just turning my shoulders, the club goes incredibly flat and too inside. Maybe I'm misunderstanding your approach to the shoulder turn. Do I just need more tilt in my shoulder turn? If I do add more tilt in my shoulder turn, I have a hard time not moving my head and it feels awkward/too much of a vertical dip. Thanks either way!

There are a number of potential causes, but consider first that if your path has been corrected then any compensations you may have had in your setup previously are no longer applicable.

[@oceanyt8]

Hi. Did you move the weight to the right foot ? Looks like your weight stays at the left side from the beginning.

[@SagutoGolf]

Your observation is spot on! The need for a weight shift in the golf swing is one of the greatest fallacies ever taught, and it has led many an amateur golfer into the vast abyss of chronic inconsistency and frustration. This system certainly allows for some transfer of pressure into the trail side during the takeaway. After all, we are moving the mass of the arms and club backwards during that initial stage of the swing. 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. In the swing I teach we start with our weight forward (generally 55/45 for the short and mid irons, 60/40 for the longer clubs), gradually add more forward weight load into the transition (70/30), 80/20 halfway down, 90/10 impact, and 95/5 finish. There's no "weight shift"; instead, it's just a gradually increasing load onto the lead side. And the result is a centered, low-maintenance, body-friendly, consistent, and tremendously powerful motion.

ABCs of golf: ARMS straight and close, joints facing up, right arm tucked in, look like you're giving blood, left arm straight, always BALANCE: slightly left ("stack"), don't shift or rock CONNECT: elbows to the body, and peel only the left one off when you turn TURN (in) until TILT position (left shoulder all the way down) "ABC CATT" All this, "stolen" from you, Tom ; )

i love this drill, but in order to do this drill i feel really tense and can't relax my muscle. is there any tip??

[@SagutoGolf]

I can certainly understand the need to initially feel some degree of what I would call "exaggerated structure" if a golfer has not previously experienced this level of connection, but as it becomes ingrained any tension should be reduced to nil. I want you to have the feeling of "soft arms" so that the arms and wrists can simply respond to the big muscles and the weight of the club. Think in terms of an elephant turning its head back and forth and its trunk freely swinging up, down, and up again without any contrived manipulation. Secure your connections, execute the motion with the big muscles, and let the arms/hands/club go along for the ride. This is the prescription for consistent and effortless ball striking bliss.

@@SagutoGolf Wow! I have used the elephant's trunk analogy myself. If you look at a swing machine, there aren't two "arms" attached to the club. There is just one. By squeezing the elbows together, we're attempting to make one "elephant's trunk" with our arms. When I do it correctly, I can feel my right elbow pointing to the ground at the top of my backswing and I can easily make that "skipping a stone" move on the downswing. POW!
