Finally found a video discussing this. I have been watching a ton of PGA highlights and every player's swing mechanic is the same for every club and the only difference is how they set up the club prior to swinging. I have been using my core to lift my club instead of my arms while my feet are planted and eyes are on the ball. Not only does it improve your swing by reducing points of failure, improving power, and accuracy, it has an added benefit of strengthening your core which leads to better posture and reduction of back pain. As someone who works from home and sits in a chair 60% of my day, it's super important to have a strong core. and 6:30 bless you.

Unfortunately, such sorcery from this dark underworld of golf instruction rarely finds its way to the mainstream because if too many folks found out about it the mainstream would then be rendered irrelevant....... 😎 Seriously, I'm very glad to know that this lesson resonated with you and validated what you have been doing. You are absolutely correct in that if we have a secure grip, 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 positions through sequential drilling and repetition we can entrust the motion to the big muscles and allow the 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 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. We are minimizing variables and building a ball striking machine, and the golfer will find that as trust builds in the shoulders will rotate freely and the "machine" will then be optimized. It's called "giving up control to gain control", and it's the formula for consistently blissful ball striking and seemingly effortless power.

Tom.. I was finally broke 90 this weekend.. all my shots were not pretty.. but I was able to scramble. I have been trying to not focus on my score, I have been trying to focus on my contact.. I know I can be better on my contact.. but every time i am on the course I have hope.

[@lifesaver3499]

Hi again Tom, you when i mentioned i was playing really well after using your amazing videos you hinted that i might have been exaggerating. Last weekend I won closest to the hole (2') in only my second tournament ever. The assistant pro in my group said no one would beat my shot and none of the100 guys did. I was about 15' away on the other closest to the hole, but someone was already closer. Straight shots as a result of your methods are great! Ps..we used my drives on 3/4s of the holes too..every drive in play..that was my job. Great draw..thanks!

[@SagutoGolf]

LOL! Okay. Okay. I'm a believer now!!! 😆😆 That is PHENOMENAL! Thanks for the update, congrats on winning closest to the pin, and keep up the outstanding work!! 💪💪 Tom

[@gj0116]

Thanks Tom. My only swing thought today at the range was weight on left side and it was unreal. First swing 9 iron carried 155 and it felt so crisp. The ball felt so soft off of the face. Driver was 280 carry and 300 rollout. I see buckets of extra crispy chicken with mashed potatoes in my future thanks to you.

Thanks Tom - a great lesson again. One thing this definitely does is reduce or kill ball spin - so many of us who come over the top will cut across the ball and impart silly spin that obviously kills straightness and distance. Thanks man.

[@labonjame]

awesome. another thing that really helps me is i visualize the club path through the ball and i know if my setup is good, im stacked well, shoulder down (get down on it), arms connected and my wrist conditions are set its always going to be a good shot. most times i just visualize the path and my body already reacts to it and i dont even need to think about it now, but at the range i just do everything i just said slowly. gonna add this drill into it as well. thanks tom.

[@jconra10]

Hi Tom, your videos are fantastic. I always look forward to new episodes. I am a member of sagutogolf on line school. I videoed my swing over the weekend. Quite frankly I have lost everything. I hope this drill you put up helps. My club is very steep, my left arm seems stuck to my body. I do not think I am pointing my left shoulder far enough to the ground. I also believe I am pulling my right elbow back trying to swing the club around my body, no straight left arm.

[@SagutoGolf]

I hope this helps you get out of that funk! As you know, the school's curriculum is sequential - step by step, position by position - beginning with the setup. Many folks take that critical foundational phase for granted, and while I'm not suggesting that you have done so, it's always good to revisit periodically and especially when things seem a bit "off". Oftentimes we take deep dives into swing corrections that only lead us deeper into the abyss of frustration when the actual root cause was something simple that we did or didn't do before we even took the club back. Beyond that, know that I do 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. Here is a link where you can learn more about this option: saguto.golf/lessons Thanks, Tom

[@steveh5954]

Tom, your instruction has greatly helped my game. But I do notice that with the longer clubs, I sometimes incorrectly and inadvertently push back with my lead leg creating a reverse pivot, and hitting the shot fat. Do you have any tips or videos on how to avoid that?

[@SagutoGolf]

What you are experiencing, Steve, can oftentimes be attributed to the hips not continuing their lateral slide through impact. This is common with the longer clubs as the wider stance means that the hips have a greater distance to travel, thereby posing an increased risk of premature spinout. If the hips stop moving laterally towards the target on the downswing - and they should move targetward naturally if we allow them to - then their rotation takes over, thereby stalling the 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. While there are certainly videos on my channel that address this topic, a better option would be 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 the swing keys that will ultimately get you mashing the ball through your entire bag, as well as an introduction to the formal learning method that has countless 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 - now enjoying the best golf of their lives: saguto.golf/p/sagutogolfreviews Tom Saguto, PGA

[@GregNorris-g4s]

Great lesson time. Looks like your wall concept replaces your lesson about keeping your arm pit glued to your peck. Look at this video when you are swinging the driver. I am a bit confused here, which concept should I focus on? Still loving your stack and tilt, it has really helped my game for both accuracy and distance.

[@SagutoGolf]

Glad you enjoyed it, Greg! There are no conflicts. It's simply that I do my best to convey multiple “feels” or thoughts throughout the swing wherever possible. We're all different physiologically and psychologically, and something that resonates effectively with one golfer may not necessarily work for another. As such, it is important to understand that the lessons on this channel - while fully aligned with the swing method I teach - address a variety of topics, issues, feels, and/or common flaws/fixes from one episode to the next. They are certainly not intended to be taken as a comprehensive, step-by-step, position-by-position learning platform like the structured curriculum of my online school, which I strongly recommend to anyone who truly wishes to get on the proper path towards owning this swing as it will make for a far more efficient and enjoyable learning process rather than haphazardly trying to piece things together through my KZbin content. The lessons and drills provide the guidelines and set the boundaries, while allowing ample leeway for each individual golfer to infuse and exercise their own uniqueness. 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 of the school, and their unsolicited testimonials tell the story quite well: saguto.golf/p/sagutogolfreviews.

Hi Tom, great video! My question is about getting the club face square, or closed. I purchased a Mevo Plus with the pro package and face impact. A great product, by the way. I'm getting pretty good with having an in to out swing path. What I'm not very good at yet is getting my club face square at impact. I think since I'm really putting emphasis on my swing path going out to the right, it's causing me to leave the club face open. My question is on the correct process to get the club face closed. Is that done with more wrist hinge at impact? I can achieve it by rolling my left wrist slightly, but of course that's not very consistent. Just wanted to know the correct way to do it.

[@SagutoGolf]

Nice work on the path, Terry, and I'm very glad to know that your Mevo+ is performing well for you! Ideally, we should simply "allow" the hand and wrist actions to happen without forcing anything. In other words, if we have a secure grip, 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 positions through sequential drilling and repetition we can entrust the motion to the big muscles and allow the 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 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. We are minimizing variables and building a ball striking machine, and the golfer will find that as trust builds in the shoulders will rotate freely and the "machine" will then be optimized. It's called "giving up control to gain control", and it's the formula for consistently blissful ball striking and seemingly effortless power. So, if your face is square at address but presenting itself open at impact, then something is occurring either in your setup (check your grip and make sure your ball position is not too far back) or during the motion such as rolling or fanning the face open in the takeaway that is causing this action. And while I certainly have videos that address this, a more structured option would be 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 has countless 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 - now enjoying the best golf of their lives: saguto.golf/p/sagutogolfreviews Beyond that - and the online school, of course - I do 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.

Interesting, albeit confusing, that an inside out swing path ( Jim Veneto's, JVGA) Steve Peterson, Eureka Golf swing produces such a 'down the line' divot. Why the heck is that?? Love your work. Thanks very much. 397 golf instruction channels and your Sir are in my top three. And I continue to play marginal goff at 77.

[@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!! With regard to your question:, assuming the club strikes the turf after the ball and at the preestablished low point of our inclined swing circle - which is typically even with the lead shoulder/armpit area - then the tangent line of the circle at that point would be directed targetward. 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. 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, position-by-position from setup to finish. 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. 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. Thanks for your message and support! Tom Saguto, PGA

[@isleofdeath]

Hi again, need a little help here. In your lessons you suggest to let the swing start with the shoulders and the hips follow throuth naturally. However, looking at the slow motion with tha driver at around 10:20 it looks like you are, in contrast to what I quoted above, load and start the swing with the hips, letting the shoulders follow. What am I not getting here? Thanks for clarification!

[@SagutoGolf]

It's not that you are not getting something here! When properly deployed in sequence our hips play a role in preserving our downswing path and they can certainly provide a power boost. When prematurely rotated, all bets are off. For example, the lateral targetward action of the hips acts as a governor on the rotational component, thereby enabling the player to keep their upper torso square and their swing center intact without having to fight their body. It's also a move that you will notice with every great ball striker. (Cue up a face-on video of any Tour player, put your finger, mouse pointer, or some other reference tool on their lead hip at address, and then observe the extent to which the hips move laterally past your pointer in the downswing while - and this is key - the head and thus the swing center remains in place.) This will occur naturally if we allow it to, but unfortunately the misguided "fire the hips" notion has plagued so many amateurs with an early-onset spinout that makes them steep and across the line, or they get stuck, early extend, flip, etc. For them, the "feel" of the shoulders leading will help in overcoming this, correctly engaging their hips and fixing their path, thereby leading them to a solid, "crispy" impact condition. And while there are certainly videos on my channel that address this topic, a more structured option would be 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 has countless 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 - now enjoying the best golf of their lives: saguto.golf/p/sagutogolfreviews I hope that provides sufficient clarification for you!

[@renegade2853]

Tom, do you like having a staggered-closed stance to be able to access the inside quadrant of the ball more easily?

[@SagutoGolf]

I have a closed-stance drill for students who have overactive hips and are prone to a steep downswing path as demonstrated in this video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIawloh8ftmAhrc - and it is certainly something that you can take out to the course and play with (though you must take great care to ensure proper alignment when doing so). I personally play from a neutral stance with my feet, knees, hips, and shoulders set parallel to the target line. By the way, would you like to learn some key aspects of the body-friendly, powerful, low-maintenance swing system I teach in a more structured manner?

[@DASH1ful]

Yes, the key is to have an element of push back in the transition. One, little exercise that helps shape the arc is to just stand in an upright position; and, then cast the club out in front of you, with your left hand. Then just relax the hand and arm and allow the ligaments to extend and lower the club down to the ground. if you place your right hand on the club, take your address position; and, swing the club back, you will feel yourself swinging in to out.

[@SagutoGolf]

Yes - that ulnar deviation is a setup feature we utilize in Stack and Tilt to promote a push draw ball flight and is thus supportive of an in to out path. Thanks for sharing that! Tom

[@brookjohnson1842]

Tom, I noticed the grips on your clubs seem larger than standard. What are your thoughts on the midsize grips or jumbo grips?

[@SagutoGolf]

Hi Brook, Actually, I went "supersize" and was was using JumboMax Ultralite grips in extra-large for much of 2022 and the first part of 2023. I had wanted to give them a try for a few reasons, including the fact that DeChambeau uses them and we share similar swing philosophies. I personally liked the feel as well as how they helped to keep my hands quiet through the zone. Now, having said that, I purchased a new set of PXG's in the spring of 2023, and since they didn't carry the Jumbo's in-house I went with their largest available stock grip, which was a midsize. I absolutely love the clubs, and I'm putting the factory grips through the playing test before deciding whether or not to have them regripped. There are no issues with the Jumbos and I still really like the way they feel; that's just where I'm at presently. The Jumbos are not necessarily for everyone - and my fingers are a bit longer than average - so I routinely tell folks to "try before you buy." However, having a properly sized grip that feels both comfortable and secure is critically important as it is our only connection to the object that is going to deliver us blissful joy or deep anguish, yet it is perhaps also the most overlooked equipment fitting component in golf. Tom

[@bobsanders8030]

Do you "bow" your left wrist more to close the face more at impact when you're doing this in to out swing?

[@SagutoGolf]

Not consciously. Ideally, I much prefer that we simply "allow" the hand/wrist/arm actions to happen without forcing anything. In other words, if we have a secure grip, 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 positions 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.

[@KnightsB4Bishops]

Ive been having a lot of success with keeping weight and pressure on my left side with wedges and short irons, but once i get to 5 iron im having a hard time getting much height on the ball. Still getting ball first contact, but they come out very low. Any auggestions with longer irons?

[@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 Oftentimes when golfers are hitting everything well except for the longer clubs it can be attributed to one of the following: 1) They are not setting their weight forward correctly and as a result are tilting their spine towards the target. We should address the ball stacked shoulders over hips over knees with our weight balanced 50/50. We then simply bump our hips one inch towards the target while keeping everything else in place. This presets a little more weight forward while retaining the stacked relationship. 2) Their hips are not continuing their lateral targetward action through impact. This is common with the longer clubs as the wider stance means that the hips have a greater distance to travel, thereby posing an increased risk of premature spinout. If the hips stop moving laterally towards the target on the downswing - and they should move targetward naturally if we allow them to - then their rotation takes over, thereby stalling the 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) during the downswing and through impact. This preserves the swing center and the desired shallow AoA. 3) They are not allowing the length of the club to dictate the backswing path and are getting too steep as a result. With the longer clubs 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".) 4) As it relates to the driver, many believe - and some even teach - that we must try to "hit up on the ball". 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 ) While there are certainly videos on my channel that address this topic, a better option would be 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 the swing keys that will ultimately get you mashing the ball through your entire bag, as well as an introduction to the formal learning method that has countless 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 - now enjoying the best golf of their lives: saguto.golf/p/sagutogolfreviews Tom Saguto, PGA

[@YouVeee]

Tom, what is your take on Moe Norman’s swing? Thanks for all that you do!

[@SagutoGolf]

While the Stack and Tilt system I teach shares a one plane feature, 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. Stack and Tilt 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! Tom

[@LLAP14]

I tried this with almost golf balls in the back yard and hit some very good shots. I hit down too steeply several times. I am still recovering from rotator cuff surgery and am afraid hitting down so steep will be too hard on my shoulder. Any suggestions for a consistently shallower path. Really liking this and am getting 0:10 my son involved in it.

Watched this again and reached back on the back swing imagining i was trying to touch a rod sticking out of the ground. Better results and shallower path

I'm very glad to know that my instruction content and teaching style are resonating with you, Benjamin!! My own personal "feels" are not relevant to you, because they are unique to me. 😎 Beyond that, they do change quite regularly as I'm always thinking about new possibilities for my lesson content.

This is why I do my best to convey multiple feels or thoughts throughout the swing wherever possible. We're all different physiologically and psychologically, and something that resonates effectively with one golfer may not necessarily work for another. However, no matter the variety of suggested feels/thoughts offered for a particular element of the swing, they are all directed at getting different golfers to achieve the desired positions, motions, and ball striking results. This is one reason why the comprehensive, step-by-step, position-by-position learning platform of my online school is so effective, and as such I strongly recommend it to anyone who truly wishes to get on the proper path towards owning this swing as it will make for a far more efficient and enjoyable learning process rather than haphazardly trying to piece things together through my KZbin content.

Do you turn your upper body first on the backswing or move your arms back? I find that when I swing driver I rotate the upper body as my arms can’t/don’t need to move that much, but on shorter irons I bring my arms back and up first and then rotate. I can usually hit those ok, but when I get to my 5 iron it’s rough.

Interesting I thought out to in is better for low point after the ball

[@SagutoGolf]

As long as the ball is positioned behind the "zero point" of the swing circle - which is approximately even with the lead shoulder/armpit - then the club should be approaching from the inside. Only with a more forward ball position - which we would typically only deploy when playing some type of specialty shot - would the club "turn the corner" and strike the ball from the outside.

Tom. I’m a decent campfire guitarist and as for golf, I’ve been stuck at an 8 handicap for two years now. I’ve done Golftec as well as other instructors but can’t seem to get lower. I started trying your method a few months ago and am striping my irons. Driver however is leaking right and I’m losing distance. Any suggestions? Rock on 🎸🎸🎸

[@SagutoGolf]

I’m very glad to know that my instruction is resonating with you, Doug; excellent job incorporating it into your swing and putting it into play!! 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 Oftentimes when golfers are hitting everything well except for the driver it can be attributed to one of the following: 1) They are not setting their weight forward correctly and as a result are tilting their spine towards the target. We should address the ball stacked shoulders over hips over knees with our weight balanced 50/50. We then simply bump our hips one inch towards the target while keeping everything else in place. This presets a little more weight forward while retaining the stacked relationship. 2) Their hips are not continuing their lateral targetward action through impact. This is common with the longer clubs as the wider stance means that the hips have a greater distance to travel, thereby posing an increased risk of premature spinout. If the hips stop moving laterally towards the target on the downswing - and they should move targetward naturally if we allow them to - then their rotation takes over, thereby stalling the 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) during the downswing and through impact. This preserves the swing center and the desired shallow AoA. 3) 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".) 4) 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 ) While there are certainly videos on my channel that address this topic, a better option would be 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 the swing keys that will ultimately get you mashing the ball through your entire bag, as well as an introduction to the formal learning method that has countless 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 - now enjoying the best golf of their lives: saguto.golf/p/sagutogolfreviews Thanks for sharing your ball striking improvement with the irons - keep up the great work and rock on!!

@@SagutoGolf I’m appreciative of your detailed response Tom. ✌️

[@TheChaunceHaydenShow]

Is it just the camera angle or is the club face slightly open at address?

[@SagutoGolf]

Hi Chaunce, We grip the club with the face square to the target at the "zero point", which is even with the lead shoulder. We then set our hands in their stock position - even with the inside of the lead thigh, and simply place the clubface behind the ball without any manipulations. If the ball position is behind the hands - as it typically is - then this will result in the face naturally opening a slight amount without any twisting or turning of the hands, thereby setting us up for a powerful push-draw ball flight. Hope that makes sense! Tom

As someone who was always over the top, went to the range and was hitting ball first crispy draws instead of the slice. The only thing is I found I was missing with a push right. What's the cause of that and how can I fix it. All in all, the video was extremely helpful.

[@SagutoGolf]

Fantastic!! I’m very glad to know that this lesson performed well for you, Alex; excellent job incorporating it into your swing and ridding yourself of that steep path and those resulting slices. The answer to those pushes 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. So for a straight push the club face is open to the target and square to an in-to-out path at impact. This could be something as simple as the ball position being too far back at address, or there may be other factors involved that are causing the face to open such as a conscious or subconscious handsy manipulation, improper wrist action, a downswing path that has shallowed too much, and more. While there is certainly content on my channel that addresses the various causes, a more structured option would be 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 has countless 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 - now enjoying the best golf of their lives: saguto.golf/p/sagutogolfreviews Thanks so much for your support in sharing your crispy ball striking improvement and keep up the great work!! 💪💪 Tom Saguto, PGA

[@AaaBbb-rs9jz]

Hi Tom, It looks like your in to out path is about 15 degrees. Q. My old fashioned understanding (from Jack Nichols etc) is that would give a 15 degree push to the right and would need a 15 degree CLOSED club face (closed to the swing path) to draw it back a similar amount (about 8deg actually). So all your shots should be heavy draws, but this does not seem to be the case. I realise newer convention reverses saying the face angle gives the initial ball direction, and swing path the spin, but the same overall ball path ensues. I assume your "square" clubface refers to the feet/target alignment, but that again must be equivalent to a 15 deg closed face to swing path situation. In short, why dont all of your shots result in fairly severe 15deg draws. Schaun

[@SagutoGolf]

Hi Schaun, We need to be acutely aware that camera angles can significantly skew perspectives with regard to ball position, alignment, and path. My path is not 15 degrees in to out unless I want it to be in order to hit a big sweeping draw. You can find some swing data in this recent video in which I used a launch monitor: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpuydKuCjKZ-jZY And yes: 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.

Nope.
