I found your videos a while back and watched a few, was trying everything as a very high handicapper and decided to video my swing. It was terrible. Flying elbows, lead arm breaking down, backswing was way too long, etc then I saw a video of yours about shortening the swing. Did a deep dive into it, drills daily for a couple of weeks with no playing and it was the key for me. My tempo is way slower, backswing is much shorter, lead arm stays straight and everything stays in order. I have since played two rounds with a single ball which is quite an achievement for a guy that would carry an entire dozen, scores are coming down quickly but most importantly, contact has been nice and crispy! I caught myself falling into the old swing pattern but was able to self diagnose and correct it after a couple of poor shots by going back to the simple swing.

[@MoreIrrelevantTwaddle]

First golf swing was 2 months ago, hitting the ball was a gamble with most of the time I ended up digging up turf more than anything else. After watching this I went to the backyard with my club and would you look at that, double bent arm. Went through your drills and kept that badboy straight, swing felt fluid and comfortable. Put a ball down and the sound it made when it hit the ball was glorious; I've never heard that before. Shot after shot was variation of clean (with a few tops and duffs of course) but holy heck it was bordering perfection. Thank you for this and all our lessons on your website.

Tom, another great video lesson!! I’m saying that because after my first nine holes of my round my lead arm was breaking down and my drives, irons and everything went everywhere and I was frustrated. On the back nine, I focused on weight on keeping my weight forward and my lead arm straight and I can tell you that I was hitting my drives 50 yards further than I ever have and on a 525 yard par 5 and using the same technique with my 3 hybrid for the first time in many years I was reaching the green on my second shot. So Thank you again for making golf fun for me at 63yrs old. I need to brush up my putting stroke but now but I’ll take a par on any par 5 now instead of a snowman

Tom you are a Superstar Relating this tip to Geometry is a really good concept Lead arm straight has led to much more consistency to my golf I’m 80 in November and hitting the ball further now than ever following your golf tips like “Ball Divot “ Does this apply to all my clubs including the Driver ?

[@SagutoGolf]

I'm glad to know that this "geometry class" resonated with you, Phil!! Yes - This swing key also applies to the driver. In fact, 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.

[@johnschwartz1536]

Excellent job as usual Tom! I like you suggestion of keeping the arms straight and pushing them away for a perfect swing! I have been trying this and at the same time keeping my right elbow in close to my side. What I need to do now to to activate the core and hips more in order to get a fuller turn and rotation through the ball! Always find something to be utilized in my golf game Tom! Keep up the good work!!!

[@SagutoGolf]

I'm glad you enjoyed it, John!! As for activating the core and hips, 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. For example, weight forward 55/45 (up to 60/40 with the longer clubs), both feet flared out approximately 20 degrees, and the knees similarly angled outward are prescribed setup features of the swing system I teach. This orientation provides for an unrestricted 45 degrees of tilted hip turn, at which point we only need to add another 45 degrees of shoulder turn for a full 90 degrees. The result is a centered, stress-free, flowing motion back and through, and a very body-friendly, consistent, powerful swing.

[@SagutoGolf]

I sincerely appreciate your kind words, Bryan, and I'm very glad to know that my instruction is resonating with you!! 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 wrist 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.

Literally spent hundreds of dollars a decade ago working on wrist rotation and thinking of 100 different things in my rotation.

Great golf swing advice Tom. Can you make a video on how the wrists break? Is an intentional break or does it just happen?

[@SagutoGolf]

I'm glad you enjoyed it, Ken! Here are some lessons from my channel's archives related to the wrist action: - kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2iwgWl3bdx_bLM - kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3evnmlte9NrZ68 - kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJerammqitNpotU - kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZ7Cg6eJfcd7bsU 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 wrist 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.

@@SagutoGolf Just telling the truth as this old guy of 66 sees it. Played this crazy game all my life and have always shot in the high 90’s. Now I am in the mid to lower 80’s and it’s not because I stopped 3 putting. It’s because of the way and what you teach us. I have also worked on the grip and I am simply amazed how one small adjustment can make such a huge change. This is all on you. I have hit some pretty amazing shots lately. With golf lessons being almost 100 bucks a pop an hour and no guarantee of anything I am happy to be a 2 year student of yours and can go back to the website anytime I want and review any part of your program I want.

I'm glad to know that my instruction is resonating with you, Bob! My main concerns with regard to grip are that the handle remains secure in the fingers throughout the entirety of the motion and that the proper hinging and unhinging of the wrists is fully supported without any contrived effort. Beyond that, each golfer is free to add their own individual flair and determine what works best for them.

Hi Tom! I’m loving all the videos. I’m hitting the ball straighter and more purely using this method. However, I seem to not have much distance with my irons. What am I doing wrong?

[@SagutoGolf]

I sincerely appreciate your kind words, Seth, and I'm very glad to know that my instruction content and teaching style are resonating with you! Typically, once this swing is properly running on autopilot golfers experience significant increases in length. If you are relatively early in the process you are likely still ingraining your "feels" and thinking mechanical thoughts. When you develop sufficient confidence in the motion that you are comfortable "giving up control", you'll be able to just trust it and let it fly. At that point you'll have made that giant leap from playing "golf swing" to playing target-focused golf, and by then you should be seeing your yardages increase through the bag. Beyond that, if you'd really like to get on the fast track towards properly learning this swing system in a comprehensive, structured, sequential platform, please consider my online school. That is where 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, along with diagnostic and corrective tools for resolving common swing, contact, and ball flight issues, and much more. 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.

Hey Tom. Love your videos. They’ve helped me a lot! I just noticed a little nuance to your swing. Maybe you’ve mentioned it before but I just noticed that you cock your head back to the right and seem to be staring at the ball with your left eye. Is this head movement to allow more shoulder turn? Are you left eye dominant? Am I reading to much into it? Thanks for all you do!

[@SagutoGolf]

I'm glad you're enjoying my content, Tyler! What you are referring to is a personal nuance, similar to Jack Nicklaus I suppose. The key is that while the head cocks or rotates slightly, it does not leave it's positional coordinates preestablished at address. In fact, despite his noticeable head move, Mr. Nicklaus said his most important swing key was to keep his head in place throughout the swing motion. That was the topic of this episode: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e2bGpJyan9-nsMk So yes - don't read much into this, and just know that there is built-in leeway for such individuality in this system!

Love concept and all your videos. I had shoulder replacement surgery 11 months ago(left shoulder) so is a problem “ keeping straight “ for long Not sure how to compensate

[@SagutoGolf]

I'm very glad to know that my instruction is resonating with you! The key here is get to - but not go beyond - your body's natural stopping point in the backswing where the tilting, turning, and extending motions are complete, the lead arm has crossed the chest 45 degrees, and the wrists are properly set (preferably with a flat or slightly bowed lead wrist). This is the point where if we were to try to go any further any or all of the following will occur: 1) the lead arm will bend and/or lift 2) the wrists will break down 3) the lead knee will kick inward towards the trail side 4) the lead shoulder will level out and lose its orientation towards the ball 5) weight will shift into the trail side and bring the low point back with it, resulting in inconsistent contact and unpredictable ball flight. 6) you'll "chicken wing" and/or flip through impact 7) pain, discomfort, and/or possible injury We don't need to try to get to "parallel" with this swing, and fighting your body in an attempt to do so will result in some combination of the above issues. If you execute this swing properly you will have created width and plenty of distance for that club to travel by taking it in deep, and that will enable you to harness the tremendous power source known as "angular momentum". 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.

[@nightwolf2666]

Nice Vid, Tom. Do you have any drills to teach right elbow discipline with the Driver? I have a bad habit of "shooting" my right arm out when using that club, and it's difficult to correct. Thank you!

[@SagutoGolf]

Thanks - I'm glad you enjoyed it! Oftentimes when golfers are hitting everything well except for the driver it can be attributed to one of the following: 1) Their hips are not continuing their lateral slide through impact. This is common with the driver as the wider stance means that the hips have a greater distance to travel. If the hips stop moving laterally towards the target on the downswing then their rotation takes over, inhibiting any further necessary forward weight loading (we should be 80/20 forward halfway down, 90/10 at impact, and 95/5 in the finish), changing the low point and rerouting the club into a steeper angle of attack (AoA). This can produce a variety of undesirable results including fat and thin contact, topped shots and popups, straight pulls, and “banana” slices. Of great importance is keeping your upper torso/head in place (in other words, not moving towards the target from a face-on view) while the hips execute the lateral slide action. This preserves the swing center and the desired shallow AoA. 2) They are not allowing the length of the club to dictate the backswing path and are getting too steep as a result. The shaft of the driver is considerably longer than the other clubs and thus requires more of an around the body backswing as established by the shaft plane at address. It may "feel" flat as they take it back along the shaft plane for the first few feet, but as long as they maintain the "weight forward, shoulder down, and hands in" components while allowing the club to work around them, it should put them in the proper position at the top so they can attack the ball from the inside. (A good feel for that lead shoulder is "down and in, under the chin".) 3) Many believe - and some even teach - that we must try to "hit up on the ball" with the driver. However, consider that in our stock setup with the driver the hands are even with the inside of the lead thigh (as they are with all clubs when playing a standard shot) and our ball position is even with the inside of the heel of the lead foot. This presets a very slight degree of forward shaft lean with the driver. Beyond that, the ball is behind the zero-point of the swing (which is even with the lead shoulder), meaning that without any contrived manipulations the club will still be on its descent - albeit very close to flat - at impact. So, perhaps with the exception of folks with slower swing speeds - or those Long Drive participants teeing it extra high and hitting maybe 1-2 balls out of 10 onto a 60-yard wide "fairway" - in general the path is still ever so slightly down. In fact, the PGA Tour average with the driver is actually minus (e.g.: downward) 1.5 degrees - nearly level - and it should feel level - but slightly down nonetheless. (Here is an article on Ping’s website addressing this topic - ping.com/en-us/blogs/proving-grounds/optimal-launch-and-spin#:~:text=According%20to%20Trackman%2C%20PGA%20Tour,85%25%20ball%2Dflight%20laws ) Beyond that, the online school will provide the tools you need to start mashing the driver.

Tom- thank you for your excellent instruction. I’ve made those same excuses many time thinking I’ll never be able to get a full backswing because I can’t keep my lead arm straight. But you’re giving me hope I can do it! I just hit the range and did what you said and I did hit the ball a lot better. You also had me on the floor with the “clown swing.” “Now for my next trick…” 😂 I can relate to that too. Here’s to pushing those arms away, keeping that lead arm straight, turning those shoulders and hips, and keeping that trail arm bent until after contact. Long live the crispy KFC.

Getting lateral on the driver and keeping arms straight w driver seems much more difficult. Irons are great. Any tips w driver?

[@SagutoGolf]

Hi Steve, 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. Oftentimes when golfers are hitting everything well except for the driver it can be attributed to one of the following: 1) Their hips are not continuing their lateral slide through impact.

This can produce a variety of undesirable results including fat and thin contact, topped shots and popups, straight pulls, and “banana” slices. Of great importance is keeping your upper torso/head in place (in other words, not moving towards the target from a face-on view) while the hips execute the lateral slide action. This preserves the swing center and the desired shallow AoA. 2) They are not allowing the length of the club to dictate the backswing path and are getting too steep as a result. The shaft of the driver is considerably longer than the other clubs and thus requires more of an around the body backswing as established by the shaft plane at address. It may "feel" flat as they take it back along the shaft plane for the first few feet, but as long as they maintain the "weight forward, shoulder down, and hands in" components while allowing the club to work around them, it should put them in the proper position at the top so they can attack the ball from the inside. (A good feel for that lead shoulder is "down and in, under the chin".) 3) Many believe - and some even teach - that we must try to "hit up on the ball" with the driver. However, consider that in our stock setup with the driver the hands are even with the inside of the lead thigh (as they are with all clubs when playing a standard shot) and our ball position is even with the inside of the heel of the lead foot. This presets a very slight degree of forward shaft lean with the driver. Beyond that, the ball is behind the zero-point of the swing (which is even with the lead shoulder), meaning that without any contrived manipulations the club will still be on its descent - albeit very close to flat - at impact. So, perhaps with the exception of folks with slower swing speeds - or those Long Drive participants teeing it extra high and hitting maybe 1-2 balls out of 10 onto a 60-yard wide "fairway" - in general the path is still ever so slightly down. In fact, the PGA Tour average with the driver is actually minus (e.g.: downward) 1.5 degrees - nearly level - and it should feel level - but slightly down nonetheless. (Here is an article on Ping’s website addressing this topic - ping.com/en-us/blogs/proving-grounds/optimal-launch-and-spin#:~:text=According%20to%20Trackman%2C%20PGA%20Tour,85%25%20ball%2Dflight%20laws ) 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 initial foundation to the swing keys that will ultimately get you mashing the ball through your entire bag.

Rob my swing feels very short when doing this. Is it ok to lift my left heel?

[@SagutoGolf]

I'm not sure who "Rob" is, Jay, but I (Tom) can answer your question this way: 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. The key here is get to - but not go beyond - your body's natural stopping point in the backswing where the tilting, turning, and extending motions are complete, the lead arm has crossed the chest 45 degrees, and the wrists are properly set (preferably with a flat or slightly bowed lead wrist). This is the point where if we were to try to go any further any or all of the following will occur: 1) the lead arm will bend and/or lift 2) the wrists will break down 3) the lead knee will kick inward towards the trail side 4) the lead shoulder will level out and lose its orientation towards the ball 5) weight will shift into the trail side and bring the low point back with it, resulting in inconsistent contact and unpredictable ball flight. 6) you'll "chicken wing" and/or flip through impact 7) pain, discomfort, and/or possible injury We don't need to try to get to "parallel" with this swing, and fighting your body in an attempt to do so will result in some combination of the above issues. If you execute this swing properly you will have created width and plenty of distance for that club to travel by taking it in deep, and that will enable you to harness the tremendous power source known as "angular momentum".

Hi Tom, I can keep my arm straight throughout the backswing, but at the start of transition to downswing, it almost always bends for a split second. What’s with that?

It's difficult to say without actually seeing it, Edward. Perhaps your torso is rotating prematurely at the transition and causing the lead arm to break down?

I've been working on your swing method and having success. The only problem is, when I'm at the driving range, the longer I hit my driver the more I begin to hook it. Any thoughts?

[@PSINXS]

check your grip and make sure you are not opening or closing your club face at impact.

[@SagutoGolf]

I'm very glad to learn of your improvement, Sandy! It's difficult to diagnose a "hook" without seeing/knowing the characteristics of your swing and actual ball flight. I can only suggest that if it is a pull-hook then your downswing path may have steepened, perhaps due to the hips prematurely stopping their lateral targetward action and thereby allowing the rotational component to take over. If it's a push-hook then a couple of possibilities are that the clubface is too closed to the path and/or the path is too shallow. FYI, there are entire sections of my online school dedicated to diagnosing and 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.

[@SagutoGolf]

Absolutely, Justin. In fact, 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.

Tom, I have noticed that your stance is wide; what are the advantages of that wide stance?

[@SagutoGolf]

I this system the stance width increases incrementally as we move from short irons up to the longer clubs, with the widest being for the driver in which the insides of the heels are approximately shoulder-width apart. This provides for a stable base while also facilitating a balanced athletic motion.

[@SagutoGolf]

Hi James, 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. For example, weight forward 55/45 (up to 60/40 with the longer clubs), both feet flared out approximately 20 degrees, and the knees similarly angled outward are prescribed setup features of the swing system I teach. This orientation provides for an unrestricted 45 degrees of tilted hip turn, at which point we only need to add another 45 degrees of shoulder turn for a full 90 degrees. The result is a centered, stress-free, flowing motion back and through, and a very body-friendly, repeatable, powerful swing.

kzbin.info/www/bejne/l33EmmysZ6tjrK8 This worked tremendously for me!!

[@deanmccormick8070]

No way Tom nor anybody else can tell you that without looking at your swing. But there is one central fact. If your club face and swing path are square at the moment of impact, the ball will fly straight (in whatever direction). If they are not aligned, the ball will get some degree of sidespin and will curve in flight. Hope this helps!

[@SagutoGolf]

The answer lies in ball flight laws. Clubface angle 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. From there we can then do some reverse engineering to identify and neutralize the cause of a sideways shot. By the way, there are entire sections of my online school dedicated to diagnosing and resolving common swing, contact, and ball flight issues. Have you looked into it?

You still look stiff. You shouldn't push your arms back. You sling them back with your pivot and keep them straight by pulling on the grip up and down like pulling a rope taught. Do it gently, with not a lot of force. As it is being slung back, try to keep your rt.arm straight. Your left arm acts as a check-reign and allows your left arm to fold exactly 45 degrees. This is from"The Golfing Machine,"Homer Kelly's book. He called it extensor action to produce the magic of the rt. Forearm perfectly bent to 90 degrees. Complicated? Yes. You have to do something to get it back there on every swing so why not get it right,practice it into a feel and you will be half way to hitting consistently long and straight.
