broke 80 for the first time with a 76. I owe it all to your instructions on youtube. As soon as I'm not hitting it good with my irons, I come back to your channel. This TILT thought was the EXACT thing I was doing when shooting my best round.

[@SagutoGolf]

You didn't just break 80, @BR - you absolutely obliterated it!! 💪💪 Congratulations on your new personal best!! Thanks so much for sharing your success and keep up the great work!! Tom

[@petersmith8113]

Awesome mate , I can relate to this ... early in my round when I’m cold I tend to top the ball a lot and then after a couple holes I start hitting golf shots , I’m 99# sure I’m not tilting when I’m cold

[@dj-flights7376]

Congrats man

[@mrsmartypants_1]

That’s awesome. Congrats. May I ask approximately how old you are?

[@mrsmartypants_1]

@@petersmith8113 I’m absolutely clueless unless I warm up with a minimum of 25 full wedge shots. Better yet 25 each of a wedge, 6-iron and driver. I try never to start a round unless I’ve warmed up first.

I used to play a ton of golf then I stopped for 15 years. Last year I picked up my sticks and caught the bug again. Goal was to break 80 again. I could not believe how hard it was to get my golf swing into shape. After trying Stack and Tilt with the help of Mr. Saguto, my iron play is better than ever and being 61 years old, I can say I hit my irons longer now than I ever have....unbelievable! Last weekend shot a 77 and that was with 2 tee shots OB (still working on the Driver cause a dead right block comes back every once in a while). Thanks Tom!

[@StevenCasel-ut1zl]

I'm 56 years old and a 5 Hdcp. I've always been a good driver and short game player to score. However, my irons were always weak, thin, with a pull-fade ball flight. I watched your videos for two days and then took it to the range. It took 1/2 a bucket and then I started hitting buttery crispy (like KFC) irons shot after shot. It worked with literally every club in the bag. Thanks so much for providing these videos and for making golf fun again. This method will shave several strokes off my Hdcp and I can't wait to take it to the Par 3s!!!!

Thank you for showing one of key points of good golf back swing✌️

[@SagutoGolf]

My pleasure, Kari - I'm glad you enjoyed this lesson! Tom

[@frankcanzanella6753]

Exactly what’s on my mind Tom. What I was uneasy about was that as I tilted while reaching the top of the backswing I felt myself falling towards the target. At this point I can’t be swinging the club. Which is what I need to be patient about. There’s not enough discussion about the body rotating in the golf swing. The golf swing has to be more about swinging the body with the club attached. Falling towards the target isn’t the lateral movement. The lateral movement is part of the downswing. My best memory of striking a good drive was when I began to lift out of a crouched position.

[@SagutoGolf]

I'm glad this one resonated well with you, Frank. Sounds like you have a good understanding of this, so I am confident you'll be able to work this into your swing through proper repetition. Thanks! Tom

[@bobhoshijima8128]

Tilting to the top has improved my striking skills to the point I'm consistently hitting the ball solid. The key point for me that triggered something in my brain & better understand my relationship with the ball. My accuracy also improved my GIR. Hitting the ball solid is definitely more FUN.

[@SagutoGolf]

Well done, Bob!! Yes - our relationship with the ball is preserved by the combined tilting, turning, and extending motions that occur in a properly executed backswing. Keep up the great work! TS

[@ayatollahofroknrollah5589]

The videos were so good that I invested in your course online. Playing some better golf for sure. I hope to meet you at Pawleys Island someday to hit even crispier shots! Keep it up

[@SagutoGolf]

That's awesome, @Ayatollah OfRoknrollah!! 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! Tom

[@kentayjohnson2172]

[@jbarry80]

Its crazy ive spent hundreds on lesson and have practiced so much on turning and turning and shifting and i would hit the fattest shots time after time literally could bury a body in my divots! Finally heard about tilt with stack and tilt but the way you teach it and brake it down made it finally make sense. Im not perfect and still hit fat shots every now and again but its maybe 1 out of 10 not 9 out of 10! Thanks man great instruction!

[@SagutoGolf]

@jbarry80 - That's fantastic!! I'm very glad to learn of your dramatic improvement through my channel's instruction content; nice job incorporating it into your swing!! Sadly, many misconstrued and/or misguided teachings of "conventional" instruction - such as turning the shoulders level while independently lifting the club, shifting into and torquing against a firm trail side, actively rolling the hands through impact, etc. - have relegated generations of golfers to the vast abyss of chronic frustration (and chronic back/knee/hip pain as well). I’m doing my best here to clear these up one by one and put an end to this madness! By the way, 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 from setup to finish - you'll find diagnostic tools for identifying/resolving swing and ball flight issues when they arise, plus advanced level courses on shot shaping, power and distance, and much more.

Tom this is awesome, in a book by Ted Hunt called Ben Hogan's tip for Weekend golfers he explains how on a foggy morning at Pebble beach Jack Nicklaus gave him the most simple of tips and that was to point your lead shoulder at your lead foot to initiate the swing.

[@Golf36]

Yep. Last time out best round of this year. Pars, bird, a few bogies nterspersed. Goal break par. So my swing thought was lead shoulder down along with straight left arm. I felt though I could get tilted better. So at top of backswing to finish it I focused on trail shoulder up! My tilt became better with morecturn. What happened was amazing. You know how you often say effortless. I experienced it. The downswing automatically happened with no effort. The ball popping off the face and going toward target. Not swinging slow or fast, just swinging automatically.

[@SagutoGolf]

That's fantastic, Tom!!! Your feel reminds me a bit of this Dufner tip about taking the trail shoulder to his ear: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZSrYWR_h9KkZ7M Great playing, thanks for sharing, and keep up the fabulous work!! Tom

[@jeffreyremillard9151]

Tom, this is a great video as usual! Your channel has vastly improved my swing and my iron play is better than it has ever been. I am shooting in the low 90's and feel that if I can get my driver under control I can break 90 regularly! I don't know why, but I find tilting harder to do with my driver. I will spend the next few range sessions on applying stack-and-tilt to the driver swing. Again, I can't thank you enough for your excellent channel! You're the best!!!!!

[@SagutoGolf]

Thanks for the kind words, Jeffrey - I'm very glad to learn of your progress!! Oftentimes when golfers are hitting everything well except for the longer clubs it can be attributed to one of the following: 1) They don't start with - or maintain - enough weight on the front side. In general with the longer clubs we should add a little more front weight load at address - more like 60/40 instead of the 55/45 prescribed for the other clubs. This forward weight should gradually increase to the top of the backswing (70/30) and build further on the downswing - approximately 80/20 halfway down, 90/10 impact, and 95/5 finish. 2) Their hips are 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. If the hips stop moving laterally towards the target on the downswing then their rotation takes over, changing the low point and rerouting the club. This can produce a variety of undesirable results including fat and thin contact, topped shots and popups, straight pulls, and “banana” slices. This recent episode may help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnOXeqeIaMyofbc 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 length of the longer clubs encourages more of an around the body backswing as established by the shaft plane at address. It may "feel" flat as you take it back along the shaft plane for the first few feet, but as long as you maintain the "weight forward, shoulder down, and hands in" components while allowing the club to work around you, it should put you in the proper position at the top so you can attack the ball from the inside. This is a very common situation as proficiency with the longer clubs tends to lag behind our progress with the short and mid irons.

[@DASH1ful]

well, you have certainly perfected the move. and, you actually make it look easy. i have found it incredibly difficult, myself, and got to the point where i nearly gave up on it. but, recently i have been doing a new drill where i grip the club with only my left hand and hold the club out to my right, with my left hand on top of the club. then i wait a while. the heel pad of the hand has to press down on the club when you do this; and, pressure builds up in the heel pad to the point it actually sets the club in motion and continues it on its arc. and, the pressure that you apply with the heel pad, when you do this drill, really stretches the left shoulder joint in its socket. and, if nothing this has increased the flexibilty in my shoulder joint and gave me a real feel for being very much on my left side at the top.

[@SagutoGolf]

I appreciate that. And I agree - there is much to be gained from being able to "sense" the shoulders, not just as a combined unit but also each shoulder individually. Thanks for sharing your method of building in an awareness of the lead shoulder and how that has helped you execute a good motion.

[@DASH1ful]

@@SagutoGolf yes, thanks for that. for me the drill has taught me that left shoulder joint extension is a driver in creating tilt. but, at the end of the day, the drill is good fun and it works. it's good exercise; and, it really helps us to develop strength and flexibility in our left hand. and, for me, i can only realease the club thru if i press my left hand against the left side of the shaft in the hitting area. and, the drill enables me to do that. the drill even has a moral that comes with it: "all good things come to he who waits". cheers Tom

[@jackwilliamson1929]

Great!!! tip Tom, most people don't tilt but it helps to mitigate topping and slices as we see from DJ who's all kinds of contorted and is certainly still a top player. In fact I've noticed that some pros seem to be using very short shafts on their irons, like Keegan Bradley, and I thought maybe it's to get more tilt and force themselves to sit down so to speak during the swing, cause otherwise he's a tall guy and I don't think he would be "fitted" with such short shafts, any thoughts.

[@SagutoGolf]

Glad you enjoyed it, Jack! When you consider that no less than 100% of the best players in the game tilt, it does make sense that we probably should as well, right?? Sadly, this critical component somehow flies under the radar of most "conventional" instruction. As for Tour players and their equipment, rest assured that everything is perfectly fitted to match their own unique swings and idiosyncrasies! Have a look at this video of my fitting session. It's amazing how well a good fitter can dial you in!: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqGVlGCljraFjKs TS

Glad you enjoyed it, John! I replied separately to your email regarding the longer clubs and chipping. There is a short course on long irons and hybrids in the school.

[@frankcanzanella6753]

I see that with the proper tilt that the elevation of the left arm is more dramatically illustrated. So tilt with elevation of the hands.

[@SagutoGolf]

The combination of tilting and extending while bringing the left arm 45 degrees across the chest provides all the elevation we require, Frank. There's no need for any independent lifting of the hands. TS

Hi Tom! I was wondering if you could do another range practice vid. I don't know if this is a good idea but lately on every 5th shot I switch to one less than full wedge shot to varying distances. Also if/when I duff the wedge I'll do 10 push-ups. That last part is the Willey Mayes Hayes technique.

[@SagutoGolf]

Your practice sessions must invoke some interesting looks from your fellow rangemates, John..... 😆😆 I do like hitting the wedge to varying yardages; it's a great way to learn how to dial in your distances on those critical scoring shots. TS

@@SagutoGolf I'm not gonna lie, I do get some looks. But I think it's just admiration at my arm pump. Anyways yeah it's been helpful going from full swing to short game shot. It's like a simulated real world situation because I rarely (if ever) have 2 or three full swings in a row on a hole.

Hey Tom, how do you hit up on driver with a left tilt? Everyone else on YT tells us to tilt our spine angle away from target to hit up on the ball with driver. Is spine angle different than tilt? THX!

[@SagutoGolf]

Hi Rob, With regard to hitting up on the ball with the driver, 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" - the path should still be ever so slightly down. In fact, believe it or not the PGA Tour average with the driver is actually minus (e.g.: downward) 1.3 degrees - nearly level - and it should feel level to you - but slightly down nonetheless! Thus, I do not advocate trying to hit up on the ball, and efforts to do so due to erroneous advice has caused many an amateur significant issues with their driver. (And always remember, I am most definitely not "everyone else on YT". 😆 But 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.......)

[@grandpagolf]

Morning Tom, Just a question, how do you manage to tilt extensively when you want to shoot a half stroke?

[@SagutoGolf]

Simple - just tilt, turn and extend until you reach the desired end of your abbreviated backswing. The key is to not lose your relationship with the ball at any point no matter the length of the swing. TS

[@mattthompson1063]

I just watched a video by you about lowering your hands and saw a definite weight shift.was that before you went to stack and tilt?

[@SagutoGolf]

No, Matt - there is not weight shift to the trail side in my swing, including the video you referenced since my switch to S&T predates this channel by a few years. Having said that, this system certainly allows for some brief transfer of pressure into the trail side during the takeaway. After all, we are moving the mass of the arms and club backwards during that initial stage of the swing. Some like to sense the dynamic pressure shifts; others prefer the feel of a gradual increasing of weight load into the lead leg from the start. However, in either scenario the key here is that we do not allow our head - and thereby our swing center and low point - to drift back at any point. TS
