Right Arm Magic - The #1 Key to Playing Great Golf Nothing Else Matters!

[@MarkG_603]

I love what Tom Saguto does, he is a terrific, very positive instructor. For me, I maintain connection to my torso with the inside of my triceps, not necessarily the elbow. Experimenting with these tips is a must because body geometry is different golfer to golfer. Terrific video Andy!

Tom’s great 👍🏻 Casting is more a function of the LEFT SHOULDER coming over the top. But tucking the right elbow keeps that right shoulder in check. Ball going left is due to short arming the followthrough. If you release (straighten/extend the right elbow after impact) you’ll get better results. ☝🏻 “Life is too short to play bad golf”

[@Far2hip]

An important point to mention when properly tucking the trail elbow is you HAVE to keep a properly extended leading arm in the takeaway so the club doesn’t end up traveling around you too low. A properly tucked trailing elbow is realistically the only way to produce a consistently pure strike. It’s a great tip as long as some other elements in the swing are properly supporting it’s benefits.

Great video! I watch a lot of Tom Saguto’s videos. Thanks very much! 👍😎❤️

[@JR-xn4gl]

Really appreciate this channel and your commentaries/assessments. I will have often seen the original "authors" posts but having a third party weigh in and say "yes, this can work" or "no, no necessarily useful" is very helpful. Need to find a tip on how to clear one's head of the myriad swing thoughts or at least how to manage them/let them in one at a time . . . failing to do so is wrecking havoc on what little game I have.

[@warwickdries5525]

Watched Tom's and your video, helped a lot , with me it helped get rid of or straighten out my slice😊

[@lewismceacharn3241]

Try moving the ball back a bit with long clubs. I’ve had same problem and it happens when ball creeps forward.

[@420lse]

Tom says when you get to the release point both arms go straight

[@simonhague2674]

Great idea for a video!!

[@mkoz1134]

That tucked elbow was a huge one for me. Really improved my power but I had the same problem with hooking it to the left the more I had that elbow tucked in.

[@TheAverageGolfer]

I am working on my own solution which is concentrating on the club path through and post impact

[@vega21]

Yah but it's a godsend for slicers haha

[@austino65]

I've seen other videos with Pete Cowen who also endorse the tucked in elbow concept. I've found it works well for me too. Great minds think alike!

[@99silver89]

this also keeps your hands in front of the club which helps compress the ball at impact

[@lawrencesargent1392]

You can't compress a ball. Air bubbles compress, rubber doesn't compress. It flows in two directions and acts like a solid in the third. The answers you are seeking are contained in THE GOLFING MACHINE BY HOMER KELLEY

[@WymanMcgahee]

I tried something today that I did years ago but forgot that really helped my irons. Know you have seen it before but I put a alignment stick 6 inches behind the ball and the highest point being the end of it was maybe 2 1/2 to 3 feet. I felt I had to go low back and through and staying down, but I was hitting solid straight shots and getting the divots. The ball set up was maybe not quite the middle ways from the end of stick and like I said 4 to 6 inches target side of the alignment stick. I also had the grip down lower that my old set up. Tell me what you think and why you think it helped.

[@hbaseball134]

I started tucking my left elbow this year (i am left handed) and my ball flight was straighter which in turn drove my scores down.

[@stefanomaniscalchi4983]

I am accustomed ,from long time ,to keep the right arm tucked in but only with wedges.With the other clubs if I do it I always hook the ball

[@charlesguess1276]

Thanks for the review

[@matsfreedom]

My most effective swing thought is to [keep my right elbow in and finish high]. Straight and long is what I get.

[@derekparkinson156]

Love it, thank 😊

[@kenbrudenell921]

Andy, Stick with Andy Carter, the recent video you did with him was by far the best for us amateurs 👍🏻

[@patrickmccabe3241]

thank you.

[@paso193]

Question: I find keeping the right elbow ‘tucked’ in is _restricting_ my _full_ backswing. I’m giving up power and distance by doing this. Am I missing something?

[@shaunjayes8842]

I find exactly the same thing. Tom talks about "stored up power" but I don't see it.

[@paso193]

@@shaunjayes8842.......Thank You!

[@HereticalBuilder]

Keeping the elbow close to the body misses the point. I found a better swing key is to keep the right elbow as close to the left elbow as possible. That allows consistent positioning throughout the clubs. It keeps the arms as a solid unit connected to the body.

[@al1356]

Yeah having the right elbow excessively tucked in can cause so many issue in the swing.

[@nobrien1]

It looks to me like your swing with the 5 wood was much flatter, more around, horizontally?

[@Navycopjoe]

Full disclosure: total Seguro fan and I don't use his technique. I've tried this and it does work but the trick to it is you must with all clubs have the ball even with your left eye. I use it when my shot is off

[@cheezburger6130]

If you turn your front shoulder downward more toward the ball then your swing will be MONEY. THIS REALLY WORKS with all clubs.

[@al1356]

Please explain this tip in more detail mate.

[@mikesalt8248]

Read Ben Hogans Fundamentals ! Its all in there !

[@johnmartin4332]

No audio!!!!!

[@stratovani]

There's nothing new with this tip. Ben Hogan mentioned it in his Five Lessons book, which I believe came out in 1956. I've been using it myself ever since I read Five Lessons, and although I on occasion get away from it when I do use it I get more consistent shots.

[@Trainwheel_Time]

The information in that book was around before then. The lessons were originally five different magazine articles that were published in five different issues of golf digest magazine and then later refined and compiled for the book.

[@TheAverageGolfer]

Nobody is suggesting anything is new?

[@vega21]

Who is suggesting it's new? People new to the game find this beneficial. I don't care if Genghis Khan came up with it it's great advice.

[@davidree2858]

seems very ben hogan?

[@kevinheitz9283]

Tom does talk of Hogan quite a bit but he’s a stack & tilt guy.

[@davidree2858]

@kevinheitz9283 yeah, I think most golf instructors use the hogan 5 fundamentals somewhere. not that that's a bad thing ofcourse.

[@shanesimon4734]

Your shoulders aren't turning enough

[@kirkklemz8477]

They call him Flipper, Flipper....

[@booger65man]

KZbin experts now testing KZbin experts LOL. Just go get a lesson versus wrapping yourself around the proverbial pole with this rubbish.

[@nealonions7654]

Which ‘rubbish’? Saguto? Hogan’s book? I find both more useful than most of the many pro lessons I’ve forked out for in the past. Interesting video, a like from me.

[@booger65man]

Everyone giving golf advice on KZbin should include their GHIN so we can look up their actual handicap and see if they can actually play. Let’s start with can’t break 80 Rick Shiels.

[@nealonions7654]

Wow how elitist can you get? Here is an unashamed self-confessed mid handicapper sharing his experiences not giving advice. Which handicaps do you want Tom or Ben’s??? I ask again, which ‘rubbish’???

[@PremusRed]

The best advice on KZbin golf is golf sidekick who advocates for not listening to golf KZbin advice because you can't provide generic advice that's applicable for everyone's swing.
