This HUGE Mistake will Ruin Your Golf Swing!

EVERYTHING You Need to Know About Wrist Hinge in the Golf Swing. The wrist hinge is an important piece of the golf swing ONLY IF you know how to use it correctly. Most amateurs hinge their wrists improperly in the golf swing leading to an issue which I call "Club-Hugging Syndrome". This wrist hinge problem causes golfers to lose power and consistency in their golf swing. Not only that, if you're a "club-hugger", chances are that you have difficulty creating a full shoulder turn in your golf swing. In this episode you will learn how to eliminate "club-hugging" syndrome from your golf swing and begin using the wrist hinge as a source of power and consistency in your game.
By Getting the Wrist Hinge in the Golf Swing correct, you will experience:
1. An increase in DISTANCE because you're allowing the club to travel on a direct, powerful path to the golf ball.
2. IMPROVED CONSISTENCY because you won't be weakly lifting up and chopping with the golf club in your swing - and having active hand problems.
3. MORE FUN because you'll be striping the ball frequently!
4. LESS HEADACHES because you won't have nearly as many swing thoughts!

My mission as your swing doctor is simple, to help you maximize your enjoyment in game of golf. Because, let’s face it, golf is a hard game.
My philosophy is wholly based on the student having a fun, meaningful experience in a frustrating and complicated game where potential lifelong golfers either quit because it is too difficult or that they experience some form of swing-related pain or discomfort. I mitigate these problems by focusing entirely on the student’s needs and goals while teaching a golf swing method that ultimately takes stress off of the common pain areas of the swing.

Any thoughts on what Dustin Johnson does with his left wrist and keeping it bowed throughout the swing?

[@SagutoGolf]

@@yooper9062 That's a preference of his and he ends up compensating for that move by rotating hard with his hips in the downswing. Not my cup of tee but if it works well for him, I wouldn't change it - but I wouldn't teach the average golfer to do that. DJ is a "freak of nature" athlete.

[@SagutoGolf]

I'm very glad to know that this lesson resonated with you, and I hope it performs well when you put it into practice! 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.

With me it was the exact opposite. Always had great extension and hit it pretty far. I was so focused on keeping my hands as far from my head as possible to create a greater arc I was impeding my wrist flexibility. Recently I've been initiating my wrist hinge first. Then I complete my normal swing. It increased my carry distance by 20 yards to 275 with the driver.

[@fontking1a]

Not too sure about club hugging but the wrists are the key to power for many of the pros. The wrists MUST HINGE ON THE BACKSWING and WHEN they do is a personal preference. If there was only one way to swing a golf club properly, we'd all know about it. I will agree that "thinking" about your hands or wrists is a swing killer. Golf is simply and matter of hand-eye coordination and it's a fine motor skill. It's a stick and a ball and hand-eye coordination. I like your videos and your style, bro'. Keep 'em coming.

[@SagutoGolf]

I'm glad you're enjoying the content! If we 1) have a proper grip and setup, 2)maintain our upper arm connections, and 3) execute the motions properly, it very much puts the hinging of the wrists on autopilot. IF.......🤓 Thanks for your comment! Tom

[@mikeprimus3643]

Love these videos... One thing I struggle with is "flipping the wrists" on the downswing. Backswing looks good, but I guess my baseball swing keeps coming back and I just cannot stop flipping them. I guess I don't trust that I will hit the ball without controlling that portion of the swing?

[@SagutoGolf]

As a former baseball player and ex-flipper myself, I certainly understand, Mike. It's so hard to suppress and overcome that "hit" instinct, but to put it plainly and simply - we need to eliminate it in order to play consistently good golf. So, 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.

Tom, thanks for clearing that up! Don’t seem to have Stack & Tilt coaches in New Zealand, so enjoy your channel. QUESTION - should you consciously release your wrists/arms in follow thru or is it supposed to happen automatically? Lately I’ve been finding it difficult to get a draw even with a strong grip.

[@SagutoGolf]

Don't release hard with the hands - hold off the release. When you turn over your hands the clubface rolls aggressively causing a closed clubface at impact leading to pull shots.

[@andrewcpham]

But Tom, if I don’t consciously release in follow through, I would sometimes over fade even if my takeaways have a slightly closed face.

Tom, I love your no nonsense instruction. You might be interested in reading a couple of golf books written by Dr. H.A.Murray - `The Golf Secret` and `More Golf Secrets` They were both written by an English doctor in the early 1950`s and are years ahead of their time. Dr Murray is extremely knowledgeable and logical in his analysis of the golf swing and he has the same philosophy about the golf swing as yourself Tom. All body turn, left shoulder down, no forced wrist hinge etc. You can still get these two books second hand on Amazon. I am sure you would find them both very interesting to read.

[@crogolf]

Tom, I had the 2nd thru 7th vertebra in my neck reinforced with 2 7 inch strips of titanium 2 years ago. This has limited my ability to play golf with any consistency, I have limited grip strength and upper body strength. I have looked for some way to try to play golf close to the way I used to a 12 handicap , with the swing I practiced for 40 years. I saw your youtube video and decided to try stack and tilt , surprising to me but probably not to you I was able to get 90% of my old distance back and my direction is better. However I am still inconsistent especially with my driver. Re-watching your videos I think I have fihured out my problem, I have been trying to make the lateral move you talk about for power. Today I realized if I kept my chin fixed over my impact point I was able to get power an accuracy. Played my normal inconsistent round until the last 5 holes when I had this personal revelation Pared 4 and birded the Par 5 I usually cannot reach in regulation. Really looking forward to playing on Friday, I will be signing up for your lesson plan. Thanks Steve

After that, it’s just been pure euphoric effortless ball striking. I also suffer from really bad ADD, he has a way of exposing things that keep me engaged and for me, easy to understand.

Hey Tom. Great stuff. You have helped me our before. My junior golfer daughter has beautiful swing but she sets club super late. Waits till position 3. Gets it good at top. But since they are set so late she overswings a bit. How do I teach her to set wrists a little more at beginning without messing up golf swing.

[@SagutoGolf]

If we pre-establish the connections properly in the setup and have a foundational base that facilitates a full centered turn without restriction, then we can - and should - 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 will naturally load and fire with no contrived manipulations or precise timing necessary, thereby returning the face to its pre-set position 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. Here are a couple of recent lessons on the body-driven swing that may help: - kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3evnmlte9NrZ68 - kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJerammqitNpotU And here's one specific to quiet hands: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3i2hISkqM6BbZY (As your daughter will see towards the middle part of this video, the wrists will properly set without any active manipulations, placing her in an ideal position at the top.

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. Additionally, you'll find all my short game content (putting, chipping, pitching, bunker play), advanced level courses on shot shaping and power/distance, diagnostic and corrective tools for resolving common swing, contact, and ball flight issues, and much more there. So many folks across the globe are now enjoying the best golf of their lives as a result. Here's a link if you would like to know more about the school - saguto.golf TS

good stuff

[@hassanmmahmoud]

this guy is awesome.

[@cdrumer27]

That’s was me about two weeks ago. LMAO. So true about the wrist business

[@mikekelly3951]

So funny and so helpful !

[@jakepadgett5569]

Hes pretty goofy and silly for a grown man but hes a damn good teacher. His tips have helped me.

[@theknowitall4090]

The best golf instructor I ever had put a brace on top of my right wrist that kept it from hinging. I could not believe how straight the ball went and my 7 iron went 160 vs 130. Wrist hinge probably brings more power but for the average golfer it is a killer.. Keep the wrists locked and see straight shots. It creates inconsistent shots and is overrated.

[@SagutoGolf]

Absolutely!! By the way, the wrist-locking device sounds like it was similar to "Greg Norman's Secret" training aid. Thanks for your comment and keep up the great work! Tom

[@antonakisdemetriou4866]

By the way Tom I had eight pars and three birdies last Friday and believe me it's been a couple of years the last time I played that well hitting the ball solid mostly.Thanks and keep them coming.

[@SagutoGolf]

That is AWESOME, Tony!! Keep it Crispy!! Tom

[@antonakisdemetriou4866]

What crispy like KFC?

[@mannytalavera900]

This is what I live for!!

[@asmcdon1]

This dude. Subscribed! Now I shall tell all my friends because they are terrible at golf

[@capkarr]

Good job kid... way to go... Wristy is Deadly... indeed...

[@rossstoneman832]

Thanks Tom. How stiff should my wrist be and how do you release the club?

[@SagutoGolf]

Hi Ross - I don't like to feel stiffness in my wrists, because that means tension to me, and tension bad.... As for the second part of your question, I don't teach the flipping or rolling of the hands that some in the "traditional" instruction world might call a "release". To paraphrase the Stack and Tilt book: "The angle between the trail arm and the shaft and the flat (or almost flat) position of the lead wrist remain intact through impact; no rolling or flipping of the club occurs." In Stack & Tilt and Golfing Machine circles, the retention of that trail arm angle is referred to as the "flying wedge". I will be "releasing" a video touching on this soon. Very very soon. As in this Saturday's (7/18) episode!!! If you are interested in getting on the fast track towards truly owning this swing, I'd like to suggest that you consider enrolling in the SagutoGolf online school. For just $10 US/month or $99 US/year you'll have unlimited access to a comprehensive members-only learning system for the entire swing and much more. This really simplifies the process through succinct, step-by-step videos, and I'm constantly adding new content. Here's a link if you'd like additional info: saguto.golf/p/golf-swing-simplified-tom-saguto-pga. Supplementally, you will also benefit from purchasing a copy of the Stack & Tilt book by Mike Bennett and Andy Plummer as it will serve as a great reference source for the swing method I teach, and it also includes many of the finer and more technical aspects of it. Thanks! Tom

[@mjm1012]

Tom @7:36, I do see some hinging from the start of your swing unless I'm going blind LOL!

[@SagutoGolf]

The key here is not to FORCE the hinge, it is a NATURAL wrist hinge powered by the weight of the club (gravity does the work). Also, my hands forward position at address naturally causes a slightly early hinge but it is not forced at all.

[@theimpaler5034]

This is what I'm waiting for

[@user-vo1rj3vx4y]

감사합니다.

[@SagutoGolf]

@김용표 - Thank you so much! I sincerely appreciate your support and I am very glad to know that you are enjoying my channel's content!! Tom

So true

[@AG-ru4je]

The club is lava. 🔥 ⛳

[@tkennedt]

Clubhugger! 😂😂😂😂😂 I love this dude !!!!!

[@petem3808]

I am hitting the ball as solid as I can using your tips. What I need is a way to practice on the range . I need a routine for practice. Can you do a range routine video? Thanks

[@SagutoGolf]

Hey Pete - I did a full video on this a couple of months ago. Here's the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHW3lqqNlKZrn9E This video may help as well in terms of tracking your practice progress using swing models: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYC5iaebgb90Z6s I hope these help you! Tom

[@petem3808]

Got it thanks again Tom!👍

[@terriwinter9675]

Best teacher on KZbin I have added 10 to 12 yards on every club never hit it as solid as this great stuff keep it up so simple 🤠

[@SagutoGolf]

Awesome, Terri! Enjoy your newfound distance!!

[@redrider8036]

This channel should have two to three times as many subscribers! It’s great instruction with great entertainment! Winner, winner, chicken dinner!

[@SagutoGolf]

I appreciate your kind comment, @Red Rider!! We're growing organically, so please spread the word and let's see if that subscriber base starts to trend a bit more vertically! Thanks for the support!! Tom

[@steveharris4343]

Hey Tom,I was hitting long irons really well today doing a no hinge swing but even though I was sweeping my 5 iron nicely I want superhigh launch.Any thoughts on DeChambeau?

[@SagutoGolf]

DeChambeau does his thing but he's a great model for a centered turn and consistent contact point. I prefer to hinge my wrists more but if you can make it work like him, why not?!

[@dazzler114]

Have you ever done any videos regarding putting and how to improve it

[@SagutoGolf]

You may be interested in looking into the SagutoGolf online school as that is where you'll find all my short game instruction. For just $10 US/month or $99 US/year you'll have unlimited access to a comprehensive members-only learning system for the full swing along with chipping, pitching, putting, bunker play, and much more, and I'm regularly adding new content.

U are amazing man... How do I say it... I have improved like anything after watching ur videos.. 😎

FANTASTIC - keep up the awesome work!

[@sushilchhikara892]

@@SagutoGolf thanks Tom... Keep up the good work 😉

[@terryscanlon1683]

Some scary stuff in this lesson Tom but I love it!!

[@SagutoGolf]

Don't be afraid, Terry - I'm only systematically undoing everything you've been taught previously.....😆😆😆 Seriously - this is all true and all good! Tom

[@WestGolf164]

You're like Paul Rudd and Ryan Reynold's lovechild. Can't unsee it now but love it! Thanks for another great video.

[@SagutoGolf]

Hmm... that's some rather disturbing imagery, but hey - at least you're enjoying the golf content!

[@pizzapartymike6427]

Can't wait! Let's gooooooooo

[@ronm2970]

Loading the front leg and pointing shoulder at the ball is the max number of swing thoughts I can handle. I find myself frozen over the ball sometimes trying to pull the trigger. Tom, what’s your “trigger” to start the swing???

[@christopheralcosiba217]

I’m feeling it👍🏽😂😂

[@MichaelLittle47]

This is goofy - but it's actually really good advice... My swing improved the moment I allowed the club travel to determine when the wrists would hinge. Thank you.

[@SagutoGolf]

Thank you Michael, I'm glad it worked out for you!

[@bobkaus8459]

The wrist hinge was my enemy when I thought it was my friend. Focusing on the Saguto philosophy on shoulder turn and THIS video put me back on the right path. However....Tom, do you remember your 2017 video on wrists kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHSYoaKKhdqSa5I ? FEELING the correct wrist hinge that should come naturally in the back swing if shoulders turn correctly was shown in this earlier video. Tom is my favorite instructor.

[@SagutoGolf]

[@todd7706]

Improve consistency even more by lifting the hands at address so the wrists are uncocked and the right arm and club form a straight line. We can't strike the ball with cocked wrists so might as well uncock them at address. Then use your advice and this will produce a good single plane swing.

[@drake7077]

nice

[@shanedeel2]

I’ve been doing stiff wrists and it’s the best thing that’s ever happened but I’m not letting them hinge ever. So my swing is only half to 3/4. I’m scared to let the wrist go because I start to get steep.

[@lewlake6216]

I will no longer hug my club but I would certainly hug you...all kidding aside, you are the best instructor on KZbin.

[@SagutoGolf]

Thank you Lew!

[@lilo8090]

Thanks you total maniac. You are brilliant 😅

[@SagutoGolf]

Nah.... I'm just a goofball whacking a golf ball... 😆

[@justinkim9994]

I have the opposite problem of most people where I don’t hinge my wrists at all. In fact, it’s stiff worsted all the way through. I can hit decently but lack a lot of power due to this. Now it’s weird and frustrating to try to incorporate some hinge. Any tips for being too stiff wristed?

[@SagutoGolf]

HI Justin, If you have a good grip and maintain the connections between your upper arms and chest, then gravity combined with the proper swing motions should cause the wrists to hinge correctly on autopilot. The upcoming episode being released this weekend speaks to the importance of the wrist hinge as a power source and how the wrists should work through impact for consistently crispy shots. Beyond that, it is important to understand that the videos, lessons, and drills on this free 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.
