[@mdell4959]

69 years old, I had put away the clubs for the last 15 years. 3 months ago I decided to start playing again. First thing I did was took some lessons. I had so many swing thoughts I was an absolute disaster. Watched three of your videos last night and went to the range this morning. Weight on the left side, arms straight and short back swing. I was hitting the ball further, higher and straighter than anytime in the last three months. Not perfect but a HUGE difference and when I didn't make solid contact I immediately knew why. Now I have some simple swing mechanics that I can practice and gain consistency with. Many Thanks

[@SagutoGolf]

I'm very glad to know that the lesson videos you referenced resonated well with you. Nice job incorporating them into your swing, and indeed - knowing the "why's" behind our contact and ball flight issues is so important if we truly desire to improve.

One of your tips that helped me get an "AHA!" moment is the more weight on the lead leg. It really helps connect the circle consistently even if the arms aren't straight. I'm going to concentrate on the straightening of the arms now along with the leg thought. YOUR STUFF WORKS!!!

[@SagutoGolf]

Yes yes yes!! That is one of the key AHA's. Great job figuring it out!! I've recently added this 90% Weight Forward/Arms Straight drill to the SagutoGolf online school, and it has quickly become one of my top go-to fixes for a variety of issues, partly for the reasons that you mentioned: saguto.golf/courses/1175315/lectures/31131342.

Thanks so much for your support in sharing your on-course success and keep up the great work!! Tom Saguto, PGA PS: By the way, I would be remiss if I didn't mention 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. If you've not already joined, have you considered enrolling in the online school and taking your learning - and your game - to the next level? That's where - in addition to detailed lessons and drills that take you through the entire swing step-by-step, position-by-position from setup to finish - you'll find diagnostic tools for identifying/resolving swing and ball flight issues when they arise, plus advanced level instruction, and much more. 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 - 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. The value in terms of what you get for the low price point is beyond comprehension, and based on proven results it represents by far the best golf instruction deal on the planet. And if you'd like to first "dip a toe in the water" prior to diving into the school, then here is a link to my FREE mini course “The Top 3 Keys You Need to Be a Great Ball Striker”: go.saguto.golf/ Featuring 17 videos and 45 minutes of detailed lesson and drill content, this is a great way to gain a fundamental understanding of this system as well as an introduction to the formal learning method that is delivering the referenced results. As you are now coming to understand, one does not 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. I hope you'll give the school some thought.

[@pelawler15]

Tom has literally changed my life in the last month lol ive always been an athletic person and just learned how to hit a golf ball by just visually seeing other people do it. Id hit decent shots, more crappy shots than good shots. Been shooting low 90s forever it seems like. I havent gone out yet because im from montana but i feel like ill be shooting low 80s in no time because i decided to swallow my pride by working on short swings, to half swings and then to full swings. And im feeling things i have never felt before. It doesnt feel awkward. It feels more comfortable then anything. Cant wait to see how I do.

Tom, My twelve year old grandson and I finally were able to get to an outdoor practice range to practice our remade Seguto golf swings. We struggled a bit at first, (the ground had the expected post winter bumpy and squishy soft feel) but once we adjusted to playing off of real grass and dirt instead of a practice mat we were both making good contact. If we didn’t get good results we would reminding each other what Tom says about set-up, left shoulder dip and just turning. Sticking to your common sense lessons improved our contact, ball flight and distance. We can’t thank you enough for your excellent instructions. Now we need the weather to cooperate so that we can practice and play every chance we get.

[@SagutoGolf]

That's fantastic - I'm very glad to know that things transitioned well for you both as you migrated your swings from a sterile mat onto some challenging turf conditions!

[@njoyridin3928]

I must say Tom, I have played golf for many years and dead set been between 100 - 90 every round. I have hit under 90 a couple of times, last week I hit 88 after not playing for 4 months but stumbled across your videos. And tonight I was in the shed having a few swings and kept my arms straight and I swear to god I have never felt my shots feel so pure and consistent. Tomorrow I'm going to make sure I wasn't dreaming and have another go before my round on Sunday. #legend. also could you do another driver video, I haven't quite grasped the driver yet.

[@SagutoGolf]

That pure feeling is called "compression", and it's the best feeling in golf! With regard to the driver, it’s essentially the same swing with every club; just some minor setup differences and naturally occurring shaft plane changes as we graduate up in club length from short irons to woods. To demonstrate, you'll find towards the end of this episode some driving range footage of me hitting a 7 iron, 3 wood, and driver: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWHbpJaDrrNmrJo Beyond that, if you search the word "drive" on this channel you'll see some related content. Upon learning this swing properly you will be harnessing the tremendous power source known as "angular momentum". This is the reason my students and online school members of all age ranges end up bombing it farther than they ever had previously.

As for the knee action in the backswing, the lead knee always works straight down in the direction established at address - which should be flared slightly outward towards the target. This keeps the weight forward and the swing center intact. Any inward movement of the lead knee will shift the center and low point backwards. This can lead to inconsistency and may also cause some discomfort to the knee. Here's an episode on this topic: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4C2fIB8bb2SsLM As for the guitar stuff, it was a very difficult business decision. I just couldn't maintain both anymore, and ultimately it came down to career vs. hobby (and I do still play every chance I get!). Having said that, my guitar membership program is still active.

Tom, I would like to THANK YOU for this lesson/tip. Before my drives & my irons at times were going left or right with an occasional straight shot and short on distance where my scoring was in the 90's with an occasional breaking 90 score. I took this lesson to the range to understand & incorporate your "straight arm" swing and HOLLY COW what a game changer. This year I am now hitting 12 to 14 out of 14 fairways from the tee box, I'm hitting my other clubs straighter than before. In addition, I have seen an improvement in distance with all my clubs where I am now selecting a lower number club from my bag for shots. Example, usually select a 7 iron for a particular shot, now I’m selecting a 8 iron, 8 now 9,etc.. I now would like to get my weight shift better and introduce a draw to promote more distance.. Again thanks, this swing change with your help has made golf more exciting to play and I'm scoring more rounds in the 80's. Keep up the great work!

Tom my man, just wanted to say, I won my first club championship today. Been playing golf for just over a year. I’m a professional footballer so I’m naturally athletic and I couldn’t understand why I couldn’t just use my athleticism to get better at golf. After following your tips, it took all those flippy, handsy issues I had and transformed my game. From a 35 handicap to a 4.5 in 14th months and only 8 months of following your advice. Thanks Tom

[@SagutoGolf]

That is *OUTSTANDING,* Stephen - Congratulations on your club championship victory!! 💪💪 Quite frankly, given your profession I am not surprised with regard to what many would view as a truly remarkable transformation. There are definite similarities between the football/soccer kicking motion and a properly executed golf downswing, as both harness the tremendous force of angular momentum. You just needed to purge yourself of the variables created by that swing-wrecking "flippy, handsy" minutiae, learn how to properly put the big muscles in control, and thereby build yourself into a ball striking machine. And now that you have done so, given your athleticism once that "machine" is fully optimized the only remaining question will be, "how low can you go?...." 😎 Thanks so much for your support in sharing your dramatic improvement and playing success; I'm very glad to know that my instruction is performing well for you. Enjoy that first golf trophy and keep up the fantastic work!! Tom

This is the greatest iron video that I found so far. He's got perfect form he doesn't drop the club, he doesn't dive over the ball, and he doesn't lift up wrongfully. This is the original and proper way to do an iron swing. Other swings as well need to maintain a consistent level and I'm constantly seeing supposed professionals make mistakes when this guy, is doing everything properly. Not to say that this guy is not professional, but I'm talking about other guys out there who a lot of people will swear by no exactly what they're doing but I constantly see them making mistakes.

[@SagutoGolf]

Thank you!! I sincerely appreciate your kind words regarding my swing and the system I teach!! Tom

[@theknowitall4090]

This is great. I've had lessons for years. Backswing, shift weight to right, lift hands high, hinge the wrists, coming down, drop in the slot, get the hips out of the way, shaft leaning forward, hit after you have rotated your hips, finish the swing with your right shoulder pointed down the target line, back to the place where you hit the shot, all weight off right leg. TOO TOO much thinking to be able to hit the ball. This makes much more sense to a person who wasn't born with natural talent. THis swing probably doesn't get you in the 60's but I'm not looking to get in the 60's. Im looking to shoot mid 80's. Ive been taking lessons for years and still shoot mid 90's. It's not working because there is too much thinking on every shot.

[@RussC123]

This concept definitely makes sense. I’m just curious on your thoughts around the very common characteristic you see with low handicap and tour players where they have the slightly bent right elbow both at address and at impact, arms fully straightening after impact.

[@SagutoGolf]

Hi Russ, "Straight arms" is one of the tenets of the Stack and Tilt swing that I teach. As the S&T book states, "of course the right (trail) arm bends in the backswing and the left (lead) arm bends at the finish, but as much as possible the arms should be kept straight." Straight arms enables us to preserve the radius of our swing circle in this very centered motion while keeping the downswing moving on the proper in-to-out path, and this "feel" is something we strive to maintain even as the wrists naturally hinge and the trail arm folds to 90 degrees in the backswing. And you are correct - full extension will occur just past impact. Best Regards, Tom PS: Perhaps you might wish to consider enrolling in my online school?

I realize golfers struggle with different aspects of their swing. But, for a guy who has struggled with hitting the ball fat for 40 years, this might be the single most helpful golf tip I have ever seen.

I am signing up for the subscription and can't wait to see how my game progresses. Thanks Tom!!

[@SagutoGolf]

That's awesome, Derrick! I'm very glad to know that this lesson helped you to such an extent, and I'm thrilled to have you onboard! Here's some preliminary advice to help you get off to a good start in the school: 1) Regardless of a member's skill level, this swing necessitates a complete reboot for someone transitioning from a shift & lift swing (which is typically the case), and therefore it is imperative that one take sufficient time to ensure that the fundamental components are mastered. From the ground up there is nothing superfluous in the Stack & Tilt swing - in other words, everything with a purpose, and a purpose for everything. (For example, contrary to shift & lift where you may be taught to keep your trail foot perpendicular to the target line as a means of "creating resistance" in your trail side, in S&T we flare both feet out 10-20 degrees in order to facilitate a free flowing, inclined hip and shoulder turn.) I cannot emphasize this enough, as frustrations predominantly occur when students jump ahead in the curriculum without properly dedicating themselves to the foundational base upon which our consistently repeatable, powerful, low maintenance swing must be built. Chapter 1 of the Golf Swing Simplified program (GSS) and Part I of Get Out & Go Play (GOGP) both address this. 2a) GSS: One of the many great things about this swing is that you can achieve solid ball striking even at the most basic levels. This is why I oftentimes will suggest that students park themselves on Chapter 2 of the GSS course for an extended period of time after locking down Chapter 1's foundational elements. Chapter 2 reinforces the body motions and the weight-forward component, and it culminates with what I call "The Best Golf Swing Practice Drill of All Time". Work yourself sequentially and gradually through the chapter, and then commit yourself to that drill in Lesson 2.8. Learn it. Practice it. Master it. You can even use this partially abbreviated swing on the course and play quite well with it as it will provide plenty of distance. (It actually is the full swing minus just a couple of power accumulators.) Once you've got that down, you will be well prepared to move forward in the curriculum and well on your way towards taking ownership of YOUR swing! 2b) GOGP: This quick-start program is exactly as it sounds - it is designed to fast-track you out onto the course so you can have fun - and success - playing as you learn! Should you choose this path, everything in #1 above still applies, and as implied above in 2a you will still want to work through it sequentially and gradually, mastering each lesson before moving ahead to the next one. In this program, Drill #5 - The Flying Wedge is the one you'll want to park yourself on and nail down. 3) Also, as you progress always keep in mind the V1 Swing Video Analysis service, an effective and inexpensive service that I highly recommend to everyone in the school. I liken it to bringing your swing into the shop for a tune-up or minor repair. Scheduling one on a quarterly basis for preventive maintenance will do wonders for keeping things humming along nicely, and it's also a great tool for pinpointing and resolving any issues that arise. The process involves downloading the free V1 app and then submitting two videos to me through the app - one down-the-line (captured from your stance line, not the target line) and the other face-on. You'll find more information about the V1 Analysis halfway down this page on the Saguto.Golf site: saguto.golf/p/sagutogolf 4) Finally, please migrate over to the SagutoGolf Community Forum - which is included in your online school membership - and begin engaging with your fellow members. It only takes a minute or two to enroll - just go to your “My Courses” screen and you’ll see a link to get started. Once signed in you’ll be able to access and participate in the great dialogue that we are having on a variety of topics. You can start discussions, contribute to existing threads, post specific swing questions, make some new friends, and just share in the common bond of golfers from around the world seeking to improve their games and help others to do the same. I really think you’ll enjoy it! I look forward to assisting you through the school’s structured lessons and drills towards building a consistent, low maintenance, powerful, body-friendly swing that will bring your enjoyment of this great game to a new level!

Welcome to "the dark side", Jason, where the spoils of "conventional" instruction - chronic inconsistency, physical pain, and endless frustration - yield to the fruits of body-friendly enjoyment of this great game for a lifetime. 😆 I'm very glad to learn of the success you are experiencing through proper commitment and dedication to the process, and I look forward to having you on board in the school!! Thanks for sharing your story and keep up the great work!! Cheers, Tom

Crispy, I like this lesson! I use this technique for long pitches 50, 75 yrds etc... I will really try this for full shots! (This is a'la Steve Stricker). Being a little older I try to turn too much and get out of sequence. Thank you..

[@SagutoGolf]

I hope it works well for you, Ken! Don't concern yourself with getting to parallel - just try to feel and ingrain 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 Here's a channel episode that speaks to the benefits of a shorter backswing: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqiYi3uXapdsgc0 Have you considered 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 from setup to finish. So many folks across the globe are now enjoying the best golf of their lives as a result.

@@SagutoGolf Crispy, You're awesome.. I'm a struggling scratch.. but played a lot of sports growing up. Had new rt hip and new Lt knee so the lower body is screwed. Was a qualifying rabbit back in tour days...(70s and 80s) Average putter, had to find a day job. I play with some former tour guys and big gamblers.. Fun tour stories about famous players. I appreciate and enjoy your teachings and unique approch to the swing. Very simple... The golf swing for me use to be simple. "Stay crispy my friend!!"

[@SagutoGolf]

That's some great background detail, Ken! Hopefully we can at least take the struggle out of the scratch!! 😎

Subscribing to what your teaching but left 10 shots on the course yesterday with fat shots. Finished with a disappointing 95. Your weight forward tip has changed my swing for the better. To your point, I was never taught that. I’ll work on the ‘arms straight’ - I call them ‘robot arms’ in my swing thought.

[@SagutoGolf]

I'm very glad to know that my instruction is resonating with you. As you ingrain that weight forward element - which realistically can take time if you were previously shifting into your trail side - those fat shots will crisp up for you. And with regard to your "robot arms", this week's episode is on that exact topic. Here's the link if you have not yet watched it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2qUi5drfL2taqc Thanks so much for sharing your improvement and keep up the great work!!

[@getfitwithjoebodybyv]

I just watched this video twice then went to my backyard hit net. WOW, I hit 19m of 20 shots pure. I been taking lesson and my hitting coach has been teaching me this but seeing this and the tip of 90% of my weight on the left side, really help! One thing that I got from you that I was missing, is pushing my elbows up and reaching out there. Don't worry about the wrist cock because if you keep your arms straight, they will cock. Thanks for the tip. This brings my lessons to full circle

That's fantastic, Joe! I'm very glad to know that this lesson resonated well with you, and based on your comment I believe you have a very good understanding of it!

I tried to remember the straight arms but it's always after some bad shots then the memory came back reminding me.... yap straight arms do work for me

[@SagutoGolf]

@Welby Roberto - There's a drill in my online school titled "90% Weight Forward/Arms Straight" that really reinforces this. Here's a link if you would like to know more about the school - saguto.golf TS

[@Frankietomatoes6189]

Hey Tom as I mentioned earlier, I am crushing the ball, weight forward and downswing weight moves forward and very clean and crisp. My only issue if it is one, I keep moving forward so basically after I hit the ball I'm basically walking away lol. Maybe too much forward movement. But the ball flies off the club face. I wanna have a standing finish but my momentum keeps me going forward. Thanks

[@SagutoGolf]

Hi Frankie, The prescribed finish has you with 95% of your weight on the front side. However, let your ball striking and consistency be your guide. If you are repeatedly, effortlessly crushing/crisping it with a predictable ball flight - and it's easy on your body, well then - is there a problem??....😎 If you remain concerned about this and you haven't already done so, please consider enrolling in the online school, where as a member you'll enjoy: - Unlimited access to comprehensive members-only systems for the full swing. - Short game courses: Chipping, Pitching, Bunker play, Putting. - Simplified, succinct, step-by-step lessons and drills designed to put you on the fast track towards learning everything in a well-organized, self-guided fashion. - Detailed troubleshooting diagnostic videos and fixes for a variety of common swing issues. - Power & Distance course. - Shot-Shaping Grid course. - Ball Flight Fixes course. - Indoor Training Program. - A Members' Forum where you can ask specific swing-related questions, interact with others in the SagutoGolf community, and suggest new content ideas. - Access to all exclusive paid KZbin channel members-only content at no additional charge. - Discounted rate on my V1 Swing Video Analysis service. - Ongoing additions of new content.
