Tom! Thank you! I've never seen a video that explained the golf swing so completely! Feel proud the talent you have is a gift ! You are hands down the most understandable golf instructor I ever watched or read! You surpass the likes of Nicklaus, Faldo, Malaska, Leadbetter.... Great Job!
I’ve watched a ton of RUclips golf instruction and by far your channel really stands out. You make it FUN and so easy to understand & follow! Finding you was by chance and I’m so happy that happened!!! Thank you! And please keep it up.
I've been watching your videos since the lockdown happened and I was surprised at how much I had improved by just recalling your lessons. The salsa move lession was genius. Be blessed and do all things as unto the Lord.
OMG Tom, this is salvation... A good way to introduce a golf swing and after some coaching, a good reference video. Cheers to all Sugoto golfers. I am thrilled
Tom, after watching all the videos of you I could find on RUclips ( went to your webinar tonite too but that's a different story ) I'm convinced both of your methodology as well as if there were one person on this planet I could have a beer with right now ( masked and socially distant of course ) you'd be him. You're one funny guy. Thanks for the instructions and thanks for being you.
The lateral movement you discuss at around 8.30 has just transformed my golf swing, 15 years of frustration has just been explained. Thank you, your a legend in my books. Cannot wait until this virus crisis has past and I can kick ass.
Thanks John - I sincerely appreciate that!! Tom PS: By the way, here's a link to my FREE mini-course “The Top 3 Things You Need to Be a Great Ball Striker” in case you’re interested in learning some key aspects of the swing system I teach in a more structured manner: go.saguto.golf/
I took several months of lessons at a well known company. It was so ridiculously technical, it didn’t help me at all. I saw this video, took it to the range. Watched again and range two more times. I’m a 10.0 handicap right now and have not hit the ball this solidly in 10 yrs. You’re right it was so much before about turning this or that and when. Now, I don’t even think about my hands and just swing with power to a nice draw again.
I come back to this constantly and it helps every time. I'm finally ridding those bad habits from before. I'm a persistent man, and love this game to death. I'm gonna win some tourneys once this covid lifts, I can't wait to share it with you man. I know it'll make ya proud! I'm finally switching to medium sized grips too, I tend to be too firm with the grip on standard, so that'll make a big difference. Hope to eventually meet you in person one day and golf 18. That is the dream brother! -Johnny MN
Hey Tom, what a refreshing simple logical approach to the game of golf. I took up golf when I retired about 18 months ago at age 57. I have watched literally hundreds of videos explaining the golf swing before I discovered you yesterday. Right away I noticed your swing philosophy removes a bunch of the most difficult and confusing stuff I have had jammed down my throat. I noticed you don't transfer 80% of weight to the right heel during the backswing to "load" before starting the downswing. You don't have to perfectly time the first move of hip rotation at the top of the backswing to initiate the transition, you don't "pull the club with the pinkie, ring and middle finger of the left hand" to impact, etc. etc. It is so difficult to coordinate all of the weight transfers, heel to toe loading, driving of the right elbow, coordinating/timing wrist lag - it makes my head spin and it's hard to keep it all straight. When I first started watching you yesterday I referred to you as the "crazy hippie" (sorry dude), until I threw caution to the wind and went out to my range today and followed your advice. I was absolutely crushing it! It makes perfect sense and it uses natural physics and gravity. I could never figure out how one squares the club face by pulling the club down with the left (weak) hand while the right (dominant) hand "just goes along for the ride. The selling point for me is when I started crushing my long irons (4, 3 and yes 2 iron) today. I couldn't hit them well and have been pricing hybrids as a stop gap. I'm a believer Tom, thank you. In fact I am now convinced that the other guys make it purposely difficult so that they can sell golf lessons and force you to keep coming back while paying them each and every time And, please forgive me for referring to you as the "crazy hippie" LOL. So what's next? Keep them coming dude! I took up golf late but am naturally gifted as an athlete (humble too right?) and will learn to play good golf and you're gonna help me-right? I can't wait to wake up tomorrow and get after it again. If you can find the time would you please email me directly just to confirm that you actually read these posts and are not like the other guys stringing me out just to suck money from me. Really appreciate you man, thanks again!
THANK YOU! I've been waiting for years for someone like you to come along. Everything in golf is such a money grab, not this guy! Everything I need to know (for a weekend warrior) in a 13 and a half minute video! You rock bro keep up the good work!
I've been back and forth on SO MANY ****ING CHANNELS. I did this in my living room and instantly felt control. Went out to the course, and never missed a shot. I had to redo my alignment, but it was spot on and easy to judge the distance. Thank you, thank you, thank you. For being simple and to the point. You're a great dude for giving it to us straight. Consider me subbed m8. -Johnny MN
I played golf as a young man but gave it up for 40 years due to work and family I moved to Lanzarote when I retired and my wife bought me a second hand golf clubs and I became a member of Costa Teguise golf course where Seve played I want to thank you so much for your instructions iam playing at 65 years of age the best golf of my life as a kid I played in the Scotish boys competition but iam driving much straighter and even as longer but my iron play is so accurate,you are a truly gifted teacher Thank you
That's fantastic, David!! I sincerely appreciate your kind words and support, and I'm very glad to know that my instruction is resonating well with you!! Thanks so much for sharing your improvement, keep it crispy, and have fun out there!! Tom
Been golfing for a year now and I finally picked up The Ben Hogan’s Five lesson Book. You are hitting lesson verbatim here. Love the way you break it down scientifically. U da man!👍🏽
He’s absolutely right about turning too soon in the downswing, everyone says rotate, rotate, rotate..well when I focused on rotating I always spin out of the shot. Thank you so much can’t wait to try this!

I do tend to get my hands above my shoulder plane and your suggestion to fold the right elbow definitely helps. Also using your left leg to stabalize has been a key for me. Mike Malaska taught me that. When I try to rotate my hips I usually just move hips toward target, get steeper on down swing and early extend. When I stabilize my left leg, I rotate naturally and generate more speed and consistent strikes.
Mr. Saguto, not only are your videos entertaining, your information is spot-on. It works. My ball striking has never been better. A long time player, struggling to shoot high seventies, my experimenting days are over. We are on our way. Hogan and Skynyrd forever.
Thank you Tom for sharing this brilliant tip. I was struggling with my iron game but after following your instructions and an hour practicing, I'm crushing the ball and the key word," consistently"!!!!! The only time I have trouble is trying to hit it too hard. I've got to get it committed to muscle memory. You can swing easy and still send it!!!! Thanks so much. Love your videos.

I can not believe the progress I made in one day. I had to log in and share my update with you all. After watching 3 of Tom's videos I went to the range today. I shoot 90's sometimes break 90, but most are ball drops from off the tee and 3 putts. I have been trying to self teach off many many RUclips videos and figure out why I have never hit consistent drives or clean ball strikes on my irons. I have recorded myself and compared with Tom's simplified details, do what he says not to do! I hit 100 balls tonight with every step from the video (still trying to feel the right side dip or rib squish or whatever lol). I went from hitting 1 in 10 drives even close to straight, because I was a chopper! Straight up above my head and chopping down. Tonight I put my fill effort into breaking that habit, gluing my right bicep to my side, and I drove the ball 8 for 10 STRAIGHT. Unreal. I have 20mins of film of me just crushing it 250yds, down the middle. Yeah a few got away for sure, and I have film to see what I did wrong. Follow this guys videos! Film yourself, compare it to him. I half swing and hit 225+. Blown away. Thank you Tom!
Thank you very much Tom. I’m writing from Rome and I want to let you know that , after 14 years of golf and thousands of lessons spending useless money, you have been able to make me happy. I also watch a lot of videos ...but since seeing you the first time I have been following you, and no one else, because you’re so good at teaching and making things easy like they are supposed to be. So I want to tell you again: you are the best! Again thank you! I would love to,come over and have some private lessons from you, but with this bloody virus traveling is impossible. I wish you the best. Ciao, Michael
Hi Michael, I truly appreciate your kind words and I am very glad to learn that my channel's instruction has benefited your game to such an extent!! You've obviously done an excellent job digesting my lesson content, incorporating it into your swing, and taking ownership of it!! Hopefully you'll be able to come to the US in the near future, but please know that we can always arrange for a private online lesson. I've done several of these with golfers from all over the world with excellent results. Also, have you considered 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 system for the full swing, the short game, and much more. The school's intuitive course curriculum greatly simplifies the entire process through succinct, step-by-step videos, and I'm regularly adding new content.

There's even a members' forum where you can ask me specific swing-related questions and suggest new content ideas, and I will soon be adding live Q&A sessions as well. Here's a link if you'd like additional info: saguto.golf/p/golf-swing-simplified-tom-saguto-pga. Thank you for sharing your success and keep up the great work!! Ciao, Tom
For me it hits home when he said the turning is what F'ked up everybody swing. I keep turning my hip and not getting good results after hours of watching golfers on TV. Thank you Tom. FYI, i signed up for his 10 bucks a month teaching course. It's the least i can do.
First time anyone has EASILY and UNDERSTANDABLY explained the transition from takeaway to the top of the back swing. Thanks for this, my wrists were all over the place and 'releasing' lol
Tom no joke I just drove the ball two times today over 270!!! Doing what ya taught I was driving it like 200 210 and it was so different today it’s unreal how much it works!! My scores are dropping too! Didn’t even play my best and still had a good score. The only problem I’m having is I’m still hitting it fat some on par 3s with my irons and usually they don’t go that far like I hit my 5 iron like 140 today. My clubs are pretty old like 1970s model lol I’m thinking that could be a factor idk I’m not some weak guy so idk what’s going on but man the driving is a whole different story!! Golf is so much fun now!!
So if I understand correctly, Glenn, you got your side of mashed potatoes with extra gravy but you're still waiting on that bucket of extra crispy KFC??...😆 Seriously, those are some booming drives - what a tremendous improvement!! But if you're bombing it 270 with the driver, then like you say a 140-yard 5-iron doesn't add up. Yes - If possible I would definitely suggest looking into some newer irons, and also to make sure that the clubs are properly fitted to your body type and swing. Those two factors alone could make a *tremendous* difference. Beyond that my only other recommendations would be: 1) Assuming you haven't already done so, if you'd really like to own this swing through your entire bag please consider enrolling in the SagutoGolf online school as it is one of the best golf instruction values out there. 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 and much more.

Here's a link if you'd like additional info: saguto.golf/p/golf-swing-simplified-tom-saguto-pga. 2) You can always arrange for an online lesson or a swing video analysis. These options are viewable here: app.v1sports.com/Saguto-Golf Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work!! Cheers! Tom
Don't know about you, but I've Been 40 years in The Desert! Lol! This guy is Like Moses to Pharaoh..."Let My People Go!" You Gotta Love this Guy! He speaks The Truth, and The Truth Will Set You Free!
Ok I went out just now to my course across the road with my 8 iron and hit a few to try all this, works great especially feeling the right side crunch on down swing - cannot go over the top! Ball goes straight and high. Very simple technique for my poor old 66yo bod. I just need to punch the ball... Thanks Tom
QUOTE They might talk about flexing the leg but theyr`e not really flexing the leg (There lies the problem of most of us amateurs). I used to play some great golf when I let that right leg straighten, why did I ever change. Tom keep putting these vids out and you will become the number one teacher on youtube because you cut through the CHAFF and EXPLAIN it as it should be EXPLAINED
Hi Tom, recently been watching Shell's world of golf series. Amazing watching Boros, Littler, Nelson, Palmer, etc swinging doing exactly what you are teaching. You are doing exactly what Mike Austin advocated with hip movement. Turning has always caused me to come over the top. Going out this Saturday to work on this swing. Thanks!
Thank you Tom; just two rounds in and the improvement in my ball-striking is apparent. Just have to remember not to roll or cup my wrists ( that was my remedy for pulls and pull-hooks-the ugliest shots in golf).
All I can say is Boom, The pushing from the ground on ur down swing with the trail arm snapping straight through the ball Boon, Boom sonic Boom goes the ball, great stuff
KFC Crispy, Mashed Potatoes with Extra Gravy, Missiles, Boom! - However you want to label it, Grant, it all adds up to *F-U-N!!!* Keep up the great work!! Tom
I want to join I'm convinced you swing works I'm in the early stages of changing over. It's a bit like going back to golf school the second best thing I ever did in life, I leave it to you to figure the first thing.
No need for me to go there, Michael. Let's just focus on #2.... (I know that sounds like something from an Austin Powers movie, but so be it. 😂) I hope to see you in the school soon! Tom
I love it....So easy to follow mand practice....This move (swing) works so well for me. I am very happy that I started to change my swing. I hit now very solid, very clean, and much further using all my Ions, Rescue and my 3 Wood with the same technique but once I try the move with my Driver, I am losing it. Would be nice if you can explain the Driver move in a bit more detail. Thank you, Tom,
That’s my point. With the driver I feel constricted because the arms are so close to your body and your weight is not over your back foot which shortens the arc of the swing.
Let’s see if he come up with a better practice technique for the driver. He mentioned once that we should swing the driver in the same way as the ions but I can’t get the momentum and the release point. Yes, the right side feels restricted. Also I get less back pain. The tilting feels for me so much easier. I am pretty happy with the new setup. Also less back pain but with the driver I still struggle. Thanks for your comment.
Hi Tom, Your teaching style is so so easy to understand, I used to be a 3 handicapper and all of a sudden I "lost" the short game, developed the "Yipes", no matter how many lessons I take and trust me I have tried everything under the sun, I just cannot chip. Have you done any lessons on chipping/short game etc. I am so eager to understand from you the fundamentals, which you make sound so easy to comprehend. Please do let me know where can I find your lessons on the short game if any. many many thank you's from all of us for making the game so easy to understand!!!!
His scip a rock lag theory was my ah ha moment,,everything else just happend naturally with it,,i swing shorter and flater now,but hit it higher,straighter ,further,,this guy gave me my 6543 irons back!
I watched that video last night and many others since and I can’t wait to get out to the range today and work on it! I don’t wanna be in the desert anymore!!
Thank you. I have only had the chance for a few swings in my yard but it feels great. No over the top... And with speed. Can't wait to get on the range. A more natural swing (check out Peter thomson Oz Legend from 50-70) I hope I can get back to where I started. My best golf was 20 years ago...... Before I had lessons!! I am not a robot!! I can't lift my left arm to the moon. I will let you know when I get a chance to try this new (old) swing on the course.
Great Video! Very informative & makes good sense. Can't wait for the next one! You touched on one of my biggest issues which is hips rotating in the beginning of the downswing. Causes massive pull hooks.
Just had to try this with two balls the other day whilst in Covid 19 lock down. I noticed, backswing length control, no pressure on lower back, PURE STRIKE, straight powerful flight. Two balls now in a neighbours yard 😬
Brilliantly explained, finally I understand! The first part of swing isn't a swing it's all hip movement. Gonna try it in the wife's horse field tomorrow, (my covid workaround lol). I have been going with the arms far to early in the downswing, (should it even be called a downswing?) thanks dude
Makes good sense.... been working on backswing just like that but it’s the transition move with weight shift and right side bend that gets me. Need to work on that. Cheers locked down over the pond so a while before I can get to a range 👍🇬🇧🇺🇸
looking forward to trying this properly when we can get back on the range and course,whenever that is..Using airballs on the net in the garden I can notice a big difference,Stay safe everyone
This is great! I had complete hip replacement last year (right hip), and I felt it in my hip with the rotation and weight shift. I also had trouble with timing of the weight shift and keeping all the moving parts in sync, leading to early extension 😩 But this is EASY, and much easier on the body. I'm sticking with it (now, if we could only get out onto a golf course)
Great lesson, specially about not turning hips on downswing, that is priceless information! I do have a suggestion, it was hard to hear you after minute 10:03, can you get a bluetooth or wireless microphone for your camera?
Hi Tom. Just found your golf channel a few days ago. Been watching your Skynyrd channel . I play a lot of their music and got a lot of info from your lessons. Thanks. I'm surprised you're using a lateral move into the ball. That causes a lot of stress on the low back. Most pros have little to no lateral move in their swing for that reason. I played for years with the lateral move from the late 50's until the 90's. I have 4 low back surgeries to show for it. The 'reverse C' That you end up with in the follow thru and at the finish is bad for the low back. The rest of your swing is very good and you teach very well. Look at Tiger, he has very little lateral on the driver and basically none in his irons. Thanks again for your teaching of music and golf.
Love watching Tom! I have one big question though. I'm 56 and only played a few actual games, but my family and I are on 20 acres, so we have plenty of space to hit golf balls. After hundreds of videos (Tom's and others), I've learned to keep my head OVER the ball, and I'm very consistent doing it, but not as powerful as I could be. Now, I noticed in this lesson, Tom moves his head (to the right) a LOT during the "tilt" portion of the swing; when he moves his hips forward his head naturally moves rearward and down. And it looks MUCH more powerful. Am I to gather that, the "steady head" thing is part of beginner training to help you develop a swing (when you don't really have one at all), but abandon that later when you've advanced to this more powerful swing? Just thought I'd ask, sense I haven't heard anything about the (seemingly) contradictory advice between "steady head" and "tilt". Thanks, subscribed and joining up on Tom's online lessons!
The head movements you are referring to in the video were occurring because I was talking the viewer through the swing step-by-step and emphasizing different parts of the body. In actuality your head should remain in the same place as taught in this lesson: ruclips.net/video/E5csidjztzg/видео.html Your head can tilt a little bit during the motion, but it should not move up, down, or side-to-side. I'm very glad to know that you are enrolling in the school as that will help you get on the track towards properly learning this swing! Here's some preliminary advice to help you get off to a good start: 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 enrollment - 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
Thank you Tom for the awesome content. I’ve watched a couple of your vids and I’m going for it!! I’m sick and tired of the desert, it really sucks there. Land of Milk and Honey....here I come!!!!
I tried some Stack and Tilt yesterday and my first iron shot landed 18-inches from the cup. I hit several “bullet” iron shots. It was windy and with this “ wind does not matter”... there are some details here I was missing. I am very intrigued. Thanks for the additional details. I did not have all the pieces.
OMG you're in trouble man. I didn't get your comment because I read comments before watching the video. Then as I was watching I remembered some guys wife was enjoying this part of the video. I fell out of my chair! Thumbs up!
Thank you for being brave and passionate to show the truth about the golf swing. I do the folding of the right arm shifting to the left leg and power punch but was suffering with lifting the arms on the back swing and trying to sequence on the down swing. I have now learned the truth about the back swing! Thanks again Tom and keep up the good work :)
Absolutely love this tom so so refreshing and seeing the swing from the back is superb gives it a 3D effect when all put together would really appreciate a response from you cheers 👍🏻👍🏻🏌️🏌️I'm from Scotland the home of golf
What is there of the back foot - right foot for right handers? Does it apply pressure to start the downswing and help that hip movement? Great vids, Tom!!!

Thanks John - I sincerely appreciate that!!
Tom
PS: By the way, here's a link to my FREE mini-course “The Top 3 Things You Need to Be a Great Ball Striker” in case you’re interested in learning some key aspects of the swing system I teach in a more structured manner: go.saguto.golf/
I took several months of lessons at a well known company. It was so ridiculously technical, it didn’t help me at all. I saw this video, took it to the range. Watched again and range two more times. I’m a 10.0 handicap right now and have not hit the ball this solidly in 10 yrs. You’re right it was so much before about turning this or that and when. Now, I don’t even think about my hands and just swing with power to a nice draw again.
If I could like this video a million times, I would. Clear. Consise. Thank you so much!!!!
I come back to this constantly and it helps every time. I'm finally ridding those bad habits from before.
I'm a persistent man, and love this game to death. I'm gonna win some tourneys once this covid lifts, I can't wait to share it with you man. I know it'll make ya proud!
I'm finally switching to medium sized grips too, I tend to be too firm with the grip on standard, so that'll make a big difference.
Hope to eventually meet you in person one day and golf 18. That is the dream brother!

Hey Tom, what a refreshing simple logical approach to the game of golf. I took up golf when I retired about 18 months ago at age 57. I have watched literally hundreds of videos explaining the golf swing before I discovered you yesterday. Right away I noticed your swing philosophy removes a bunch of the most difficult and confusing stuff I have had jammed down my throat. I noticed you don't transfer 80% of weight to the right heel during the backswing to "load" before starting the downswing. You don't have to perfectly time the first move of hip rotation at the top of the backswing to initiate the transition, you don't "pull the club with the pinkie, ring and middle finger of the left hand" to impact, etc. etc. It is so difficult to coordinate all of the weight transfers, heel to toe loading, driving of the right elbow, coordinating/timing wrist lag - it makes my head spin and it's hard to keep it all straight. When I first started watching you yesterday I referred to you as the "crazy hippie" (sorry dude), until I threw caution to the wind and went out to my range today and followed your advice. I was absolutely crushing it! It makes perfect sense and it uses natural physics and gravity. I could never figure out how one squares the club face by pulling the club down with the left (weak) hand while the right (dominant) hand "just goes along for the ride. The selling point for me is when I started crushing my long irons (4, 3 and yes 2 iron) today. I couldn't hit them well and have been pricing hybrids as a stop gap. I'm a believer Tom, thank you. In fact I am now convinced that the other guys make it purposely difficult so that they can sell golf lessons and force you to keep coming back while paying them each and every time And, please forgive me for referring to you as the "crazy hippie" LOL. So what's next? Keep them coming dude! I took up golf late but am naturally gifted as an athlete (humble too right?) and will learn to play good golf and you're gonna help me-right? I can't wait to wake up tomorrow and get after it again. If you can find the time would you please email me directly just to confirm that you actually read these posts and are not like the other guys stringing me out just to suck money from me. Really appreciate you man, thanks again!
Thank you so much! That's the easiest I've ever seen it explained
Thank you Ronnie, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent sequel to tilt and turn❤
Thanks Sheila!!
Can't find better instructions than this anywhere,you make golf so much easier,thank you👊
Is that you or the corona talking, Justin?......😆
Cheers!
Tom
This so beautiful , GOLD !
Thanks Reginald - I'm glad this lesson resonated well with you!!
Tom
THANK YOU! I've been waiting for years for someone like you to come along. Everything in golf is such a money grab, not this guy! Everything I need to know (for a weekend warrior) in a 13 and a half minute video! You rock bro keep up the good work!
I am happy to help! Thank you for watching :D
I've been back and forth on SO MANY ****ING CHANNELS.
I did this in my living room and instantly felt control.
Went out to the course, and never missed a shot. I had to redo my alignment, but it was spot on and easy to judge the distance.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. For being simple and to the point. You're a great dude for giving it to us straight.
Consider me subbed m8.

I played golf as a young man but gave it up for 40 years due to work and family I moved to Lanzarote when I retired and my wife bought me a second hand golf clubs and I became a member of Costa Teguise golf course where Seve played I want to thank you so much for your instructions iam playing at 65 years of age the best golf of my life as a kid I played in the Scotish boys competition but iam driving much straighter and even as longer but my iron play is so accurate,you are a truly gifted teacher Thank you
That's fantastic, David!!
I sincerely appreciate your kind words and support, and I'm very glad to know that my instruction is resonating well with you!!
Thanks so much for sharing your improvement, keep it crispy, and have fun out there!!
Tom
Been golfing for a year now and I finally picked up The Ben Hogan’s Five lesson Book. You are hitting lesson verbatim here. Love the way you break it down scientifically. U da man!👍🏽
He’s absolutely right about turning too soon in the downswing, everyone says rotate, rotate, rotate..well when I focused on rotating I always spin out of the shot. Thank you so much can’t wait to try this!
Excellent tips. Work great for me. Thank you.
No other golf videos needed to watch 😮. Good job Tom!
Thanks! I appreciate that, and I'm very glad to know that this lesson resonated with you!!

I do tend to get my hands above my shoulder plane and your suggestion to fold the right elbow definitely helps. Also using your left leg to stabalize has been a key for me. Mike Malaska taught me that. When I try to rotate my hips I usually just move hips toward target, get steeper on down swing and early extend. When I stabilize my left leg, I rotate naturally and generate more speed and consistent strikes.
Ive watched 4 of your videos...you're more infectuous than covid19!givin me hope!!thx
Best explanation ever seen, thx so much
Thanks Reginald - I'm glad to know that my explanation of the swing resonated well with you!!
Tom
Mr. Saguto, not only are your videos entertaining, your information is spot-on. It works. My ball striking has never been better. A long time player, struggling to shoot high seventies, my experimenting days are over. We are on our way. Hogan and Skynyrd forever.
Thank you Tom for sharing this brilliant tip. I was struggling with my iron game but after following your instructions and an hour practicing, I'm crushing the ball and the key word," consistently"!!!!! The only time I have trouble is trying to hit it too hard. I've got to get it committed to muscle memory. You can swing easy and still send it!!!! Thanks so much. Love your videos.
That's awesome, Steve!! 💪💪
I'm very glad to know that my instruction is resonating well with you!!

I can not believe the progress I made in one day. I had to log in and share my update with you all. After watching 3 of Tom's videos I went to the range today. I shoot 90's sometimes break 90, but most are ball drops from off the tee and 3 putts. I have been trying to self teach off many many RUclips videos and figure out why I have never hit consistent drives or clean ball strikes on my irons. I have recorded myself and compared with Tom's simplified details, do what he says not to do! I hit 100 balls tonight with every step from the video (still trying to feel the right side dip or rib squish or whatever lol). I went from hitting 1 in 10 drives even close to straight, because I was a chopper! Straight up above my head and chopping down. Tonight I put my fill effort into breaking that habit, gluing my right bicep to my side, and I drove the ball 8 for 10 STRAIGHT. Unreal. I have 20mins of film of me just crushing it 250yds, down the middle. Yeah a few got away for sure, and I have film to see what I did wrong.
Follow this guys videos! Film yourself, compare it to him. I half swing and hit 225+. Blown away.
Thank you Tom!
Thank you very much Tom. I’m writing from Rome and I want to let you know that , after 14 years of golf and thousands of lessons spending useless money, you have been able to make me happy. I also watch a lot of videos ...but since seeing you the first time I have been following you, and no one else, because you’re so good at teaching and making things easy like they are supposed to be. So I want to tell you again: you are the best! Again thank you! I would love to,come over and have some private lessons from you, but with this bloody virus traveling is impossible. I wish you the best. Ciao, Michael
Hi Michael,
I truly appreciate your kind words and I am very glad to learn that my channel's instruction has benefited your game to such an extent!! You've obviously done an excellent job digesting my lesson content, incorporating it into your swing, and taking ownership of it!!
Hopefully you'll be able to come to the US in the near future, but please know that we can always arrange for a private online lesson. I've done several of these with golfers from all over the world with excellent results.
Also, have you considered 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 system for the full swing, the short game, and much more. The school's intuitive course curriculum greatly simplifies the entire process through succinct, step-by-step videos, and I'm regularly adding new content. This will really put you on the fast track towards learning everything in a well-organized, self-guided fashion. There's even a members' forum where you can ask me specific swing-related questions and suggest new content ideas, and I will soon be adding live Q&A sessions as well. Here's a link if you'd like additional info: saguto.golf/p/golf-swing-simplified-tom-saguto-pga.
Thank you for sharing your success and keep up the great work!!
Ciao,
Tom
It is so simple the way you teach. Love it. Thank you!
For me it hits home when he said the turning is what F'ked up everybody swing. I keep turning my hip and not getting good results after hours of watching golfers on TV. Thank you Tom. FYI, i signed up for his 10 bucks a month teaching course. It's the least i can do.
Another great lesson tips
First time anyone has EASILY and UNDERSTANDABLY explained the transition from takeaway to the top of the back swing. Thanks for this, my wrists were all over the place and 'releasing' lol
Tom no joke I just drove the ball two times today over 270!!! Doing what ya taught I was driving it like 200 210 and it was so different today it’s unreal how much it works!! My scores are dropping too! Didn’t even play my best and still had a good score. The only problem I’m having is I’m still hitting it fat some on par 3s with my irons and usually they don’t go that far like I hit my 5 iron like 140 today. My clubs are pretty old like 1970s model lol I’m thinking that could be a factor idk I’m not some weak guy so idk what’s going on but man the driving is a whole different story!! Golf is so much fun now!!
So if I understand correctly, Glenn, you got your side of mashed potatoes with extra gravy but you're still waiting on that bucket of extra crispy KFC??...😆
Seriously, those are some booming drives - what a tremendous improvement!! But if you're bombing it 270 with the driver, then like you say a 140-yard 5-iron doesn't add up. Yes - If possible I would definitely suggest looking into some newer irons, and also to make sure that the clubs are properly fitted to your body type and swing. Those two factors alone could make a *tremendous* difference. Beyond that my only other recommendations would be:
1) Assuming you haven't already done so, if you'd really like to own this swing through your entire bag please consider enrolling in the SagutoGolf online school as it is one of the best golf instruction values out there. 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 and much more. The school's intuitive course curriculum greatly simplifies the entire 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.
2) You can always arrange for an online lesson or a swing video analysis. These options are viewable here: app.v1sports.com/Saguto-Golf
Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work!!
Cheers!
Tom
SagutoGolf well went way down Today I need lesson ASAP with you today was so awful omg no words I had like 4 quadruple bogeys thru 9 sick of it man
Don't know about you, but I've Been 40 years in The Desert! Lol! This guy is Like Moses to Pharaoh..."Let My People Go!" You Gotta Love this Guy! He speaks The Truth, and The Truth Will Set You Free!
Outstanding explanation Tom !
Putting more pressure into my lead leg has helped tremendously. So much more stability. Weight shift was killing my ball striking consistency.
I have that same problem. So it work for you
I think the big weight shift away from the target is the source of damaged golfers
Ok I went out just now to my course across the road with my 8 iron and hit a few to try all this, works great especially feeling the right side crunch on down swing - cannot go over the top! Ball goes straight and high. Very simple technique for my poor old 66yo bod. I just need to punch the ball... Thanks Tom
I noticed the same thing. Was thinning everything until I started right side crunch.
QUOTE They might talk about flexing the leg but theyr`e not really flexing the leg (There lies the problem of most of us amateurs).
I used to play some great golf when I let that right leg straighten, why did I ever change.
Tom keep putting these vids out and you will become the number one teacher on youtube because you cut through the CHAFF and EXPLAIN it as it should be EXPLAINED
Hi Tom, recently been watching Shell's world of golf series. Amazing watching Boros, Littler, Nelson, Palmer, etc swinging doing exactly what you are teaching. You are doing exactly what Mike Austin advocated with hip movement. Turning has always caused me to come over the top. Going out this Saturday to work on this swing. Thanks!
Moses!!!! Taking us out of the dessert! You heard it here first! Moses!!!
Thank you Tom; just two rounds in and the improvement in my ball-striking is apparent. Just have to remember not to roll or cup my wrists ( that was my remedy for pulls and pull-hooks-the ugliest shots in golf).
All I can say is Boom,
The pushing from the ground on ur down swing with the trail arm snapping straight through the ball
Boon, Boom sonic Boom goes the ball, great stuff
KFC Crispy, Mashed Potatoes with Extra Gravy, Missiles, Boom! - However you want to label it, Grant, it all adds up to *F-U-N!!!*
Keep up the great work!!
Tom
Love this explanation!
Thanks! I'm glad it was helpful!!
TS
Damn, how did I miss this episode 😮
LOL!! I suppose you can't say that anymore, Vikram, and I hope it performs well for you!!
Tom
I want to join I'm convinced you swing works I'm in the early stages of changing over. It's a bit like going back to golf school the second best thing I ever did in life, I leave it to you to figure the first thing.
No need for me to go there, Michael. Let's just focus on #2.... (I know that sounds like something from an Austin Powers movie, but so be it. 😂)
I hope to see you in the school soon!
Tom
Lucky that I came across this video this morning. I think I’m gonna be a better golfer after this unfortunate lockdown period
you’re methodology works!!! You won’t pay beers if you come to Spain Buddie
I'll remember that, Pablo!!
Glad to know that these lesson videos are helping you!
Cheers!
Tom
I love it....So easy to follow mand practice....This move (swing) works so well for me. I am very happy that I started to change my swing.
I hit now very solid, very clean, and much further using all my Ions, Rescue and my 3 Wood with the same technique but once I try the move with my Driver, I am losing it.
Would be nice if you can explain the Driver move in a bit more detail. Thank you, Tom,
That’s my point. With the driver I feel constricted because the arms are so close to your body and your weight is not over your back foot which shortens the arc of the swing.
Let’s see if he come up with a better practice technique for the driver. He mentioned once that we should swing the driver in the same way as the ions but I can’t get the momentum and the release point. Yes, the right side feels restricted. Also I get less back pain. The tilting feels for me so much easier. I am pretty happy with the new setup. Also less back pain but with the driver I still struggle. Thanks for your comment.
Hi Tom,
Your teaching style is so so easy to understand, I used to be a 3 handicapper and all of a sudden I "lost" the short game, developed the "Yipes", no matter how many lessons I take and trust me I have tried everything under the sun, I just cannot chip. Have you done any lessons on chipping/short game etc. I am so eager to understand from you the fundamentals, which you make sound so easy to comprehend. Please do let me know where can I find your lessons on the short game if any.
many many thank you's from all of us for making the game so easy to understand!!!!
It's crystal clear now for me.. thanks saguto
His scip a rock lag theory was my ah ha moment,,everything else just happend naturally with it,,i swing shorter and flater now,but hit it higher,straighter ,further,,this guy gave me my 6543 irons back!
I watched that video last night and many others since and I can’t wait to get out to the range today and work on it! I don’t wanna be in the desert anymore!!
Very nice . I have struggled for years with this . Super easy
Thank you. I have only had the chance for a few swings in my yard but it feels great. No over the top... And with speed. Can't wait to get on the range.
A more natural swing (check out Peter thomson Oz Legend from 50-70) I hope I can get back to where I started. My best golf was 20 years ago...... Before I had lessons!! I am not a robot!! I can't lift my left arm to the moon. I will let you know when I get a chance to try this new (old) swing on the course.
Great Video! Very informative & makes good sense. Can't wait for the next one! You touched on one of my biggest issues which is hips rotating in the beginning of the downswing. Causes massive pull hooks.
Just had to try this with two balls the other day whilst in Covid 19 lock down. I noticed, backswing length control, no pressure on lower back, PURE STRIKE, straight powerful flight. Two balls now in a neighbours yard 😬
I. Agree this is the best instruction I have seen.simple to the point thanks
Thank you!
Brilliantly explained, finally I understand! The first part of swing isn't a swing it's all hip movement. Gonna try it in the wife's horse field tomorrow, (my covid workaround lol). I have been going with the arms far to early in the downswing, (should it even be called a downswing?) thanks dude
Excellent, thats what I've been doing.
Thank you so much for the feedback Louis.
Take care and keep well.
good work Tom. Keep it up.
Makes good sense.... been working on backswing just like that but it’s the transition move with weight shift and right side bend that gets me. Need to work on that. Cheers locked down over the pond so a while before I can get to a range 👍🇬🇧🇺🇸
Great simple instructions, thanks
the dont turn the hips at the top , is gold thanks tom
awesome demo !
Thanks Allen!
looking forward to trying this properly when we can get back on the range and course,whenever that is..Using airballs on the net in the garden I can notice a big difference,Stay safe everyone
I needed this video. I’ll charge up the iPhone to video my swing and check these check points
Thanks so much for posting
Great explanation, thanks
Glad to know that it helped you, Roger!
Cheers!
Tom
This is great! I had complete hip replacement last year (right hip), and I felt it in my hip with the rotation and weight shift. I also had trouble with timing of the weight shift and keeping all the moving parts in sync, leading to early extension 😩 But this is EASY, and much easier on the body. I'm sticking with it (now, if we could only get out onto a golf course)
Most underrated Golf channel
Great lesson, specially about not turning hips on downswing, that is priceless information! I do have a suggestion, it was hard to hear you after minute 10:03, can you get a bluetooth or wireless microphone for your camera?
Your an excellent teacher ! I get alot out of this !
Hi Tom. Just found your golf channel a few days ago. Been watching your Skynyrd channel . I play a lot of their music and got a lot of info from your lessons. Thanks. I'm surprised you're using a lateral move into the ball. That causes a lot of stress on the low back. Most pros have little to no lateral move in their swing for that reason. I played for years with the lateral move from the late 50's until the 90's. I have 4 low back surgeries to show for it. The 'reverse C' That you end up with in the follow thru and at the finish is bad for the low back. The rest of your swing is very good and you teach very well. Look at Tiger, he has very little lateral on the driver and basically none in his irons. Thanks again for your teaching of music and golf.
You inspired me alot idol Tom..you rock!!
Love watching Tom!
I have one big question though.
I'm 56 and only played a few actual games, but my family and I are on 20 acres, so we have plenty of space to hit golf balls.
After hundreds of videos (Tom's and others), I've learned to keep my head OVER the ball, and I'm very consistent doing it, but not as powerful as I could be.
Now, I noticed in this lesson, Tom moves his head (to the right) a LOT during the "tilt" portion of the swing; when he moves his hips forward his head naturally moves rearward and down. And it looks MUCH more powerful.
Am I to gather that, the "steady head" thing is part of beginner training to help you develop a swing (when you don't really have one at all), but abandon that later when you've advanced to this more powerful swing?
Just thought I'd ask, sense I haven't heard anything about the (seemingly) contradictory advice between "steady head" and "tilt".
Thanks, subscribed and joining up on Tom's online lessons!
The head movements you are referring to in the video were occurring because I was talking the viewer through the swing step-by-step and emphasizing different parts of the body. In actuality your head should remain in the same place as taught in this lesson: ruclips.net/video/E5csidjztzg/видео.html Your head can tilt a little bit during the motion, but it should not move up, down, or side-to-side.
I'm very glad to know that you are enrolling in the school as that will help you get on the track towards properly learning this swing! Here's some preliminary advice to help you get off to a good start:
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 enrollment - 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
Excellente !
Thank you Tom for the awesome content. I’ve watched a couple of your vids and I’m going for it!! I’m sick and tired of the desert, it really sucks there. Land of Milk and Honey....here I come!!!!
I tried some Stack and Tilt yesterday and my first iron shot landed 18-inches from the cup. I hit several “bullet” iron shots. It was windy and with this “ wind does not matter”... there are some details here I was missing. I am very intrigued. Thanks for the additional details. I did not have all the pieces.
His method banish the weight shift and weight distribution. I'm following his backswing and it work. Will learn the weight shift stuff
you are great my friend thank you and appreciated the comment also taking from Genesis , I like it!!!!!
I subscribed, in part, because you found your iron.....and you are hilarious....and a great teacher
This should be good! Looking forward to this.
My wife isn't a golfer but she's been watching the last 3rd of this video several times now! Maybe there's hope that she'll pick up golf? Hmmmm
OMG you're in trouble man. I didn't get your comment because I read comments before watching the video. Then as I was watching I remembered some guys wife was enjoying this part of the video. I fell out of my chair! Thumbs up!
Thank you for being brave and passionate to show the truth about the golf swing. I do the folding of the right arm shifting to the left leg and power punch but was suffering with lifting the arms on the back swing and trying to sequence on the down swing. I have now learned the truth about the back swing! Thanks again Tom and keep up the good work :)
You made a great point. Watch tour players, don’t listen! Most have absolutely no idea what they’re talking about
top of the backswing position at 10.04 extremely similar to Sam Snead position !!! and Sam Snead had arguably the best swing ever known
Great demonstration. I use my outside window to check each position.
Can you teach the wedge short pitches and chipping?
You’re gonna make me find your guitar channel....youuuu....why I oughta!!
"We're taking you out of the golf game desert, to the land of milk and honey..." ROTFLMAO instant classic
Absolutely love this tom so so refreshing and seeing the swing from the back is superb gives it a 3D effect when all put together would really appreciate a response from you cheers 👍🏻👍🏻🏌️🏌️I'm from Scotland the home of golf
Very good tutorial
What is there of the back foot - right foot for right handers? Does it apply pressure to start the downswing and help that hip movement? Great vids, Tom!!!
Is this the same for the driver? Great instruction,please do a vid on driver.
Yesterday I finally found the slot they keep talking about.
