Sorry, @JoneSwings - I thought I replied but apparently it didn't stick so I'll try again.... 1. There's some helpful dialog on club fitting in a couple of different threads in the online school's Members' Forum. Just type the word "fit" into the Forum's search bar. (If you've not already joined the Forum - which is included in your membership - 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.

I monitor the forum regularly and am a frequent participant in the discussions, including assisting with swing-related inquiries. I really think you’ll enjoy it!) 2. The net is a DIY job. It is approximately 7’ tall and 8’ wide, with the main structure being 1-1/2" PVC. We used this video as a starting point - ruclips.net/video/-p11qs4E2T0/видео.html - and then made some other minor PVC support structure modifications to suit our needs. We did not use PVC cement as this allows us to easily disassemble it if necessary. The net we used differs from the screening material in the video. Ours was purchased through Amazon - “NETTEXX Golf Cage Impact Net 10ft X 10ft” - as were these bungees for attaching the net to the frame - “Kotap BB-6B Ball Bungee Cords with Elastic String for Canopy, Tarp, Straps, Tent, Poles and Wires, 6-Inch (25-Count), Black”. (If using a net like we did you probably won’t need the screw hooks that are mentioned in the video - the bungees should suffice.) Also, I have a Real Feel 3x5 Country Club Elite® Golf Mat.

Just signed up for your 1 year membership. Hell, I owe you more than that for the extreme value you’ve afforded me with your You Tube vids alone. My 20 year golf journey is really getting good, finally with your guidance. I trust no one but Tom as he’s the only instructor that has given me solid repeatable mechanics in a very simple to learn approach. All the wasted time and money I’ve spent with other instructors and You Tube instructors who really have no business teaching is a major face palm moment for me right now. I fully endorse this guy. His free vids have taken me to low 80’s from not being able to break 90 until 5 months ago. I firmly believe I will break 80 very soon once I start his program, I am very excited and relieved to finally have an instructor I can trust. Choosing a golf instructor is one of life’s greatest stressors, way more so than choosing a doctor, for me anyway, lol.
Just as you say, I was consistently in the 100's, dropped to the 90's after watching Tom and now in the high 80's. I just need to work on my short game. If I could chip and pitch I'd be golden, my putting is great.
@@TigerMarine62 chipping was lost on me for 20 years until 5 months ago. Weight on forward foot, just take it back like you are putting and have a good tempo and always follow thru. My chipping is the best part of my game right now. I've at least got that piece of the puzzle solved, lol.
I truly appreciate the very kind words and endorsement, @Wyatt_Scott!! Yes - life is too short to play bad golf, so I'm thrilled to learn of your dramatic improvement and am very glad to know that my channel's instruction content played a role in it!! I look forward to seeing you participating in the online school's Members' Forum, where a robust, fun, and highly supportive community has really taken shape! Thanks again for your comments and support, keep up the great work, and have fun out there!! Tom
That's some fantastic improvement as well, @Michael_Murphy - nicely done!! By the way, we can certainly shave some of those short game strokes off in the online school's chipping and pitching courses (not to mention all the tremendous content for the full swing and much more)!! Keep it crispy! Tom
I just started the online program 1 week ago, been teaching myself stack and tilt for a month now with Tom’s video, today I shot 83 (39 on the back, where I normally struggle) I haven’t played for 3 weeks, prior 2 games were 92-94. I find more fairways, more green in regulation, pick-up 15-20 yards on my irons, 60 on my drive. Golf is good , life is good.
I'm a terrible golf student. Ive spent so many hours at the range and have adopted so many different swings it's embarrassing. A couple of weeks ago I decided to try a lower, flatter swing and had some success. Today, I figured out that keeping my hands low was the trick. I couldn't believe how well I was hitting the ball. Searched for low hands in a golf swing and RUclips took me right to you. I didn't get what you were saying before. I do now. Thank you so much.

I have been lifting and shifting since I was 12 and I am 52. Slice so bad I stopped using driver last few years since I can hit my irons OK. My divot was so outside to in and I could slice a ball then pull it way left on the next shot. I follow everything on youtube swing related. I stumbled on this 2-3 weeks ago. I was shooting mid 90s and would get in the high 80s about once per season. I am just starting stack and tilt and first round 95 but about a half dozen super compressed irons dead straight. 2nd round last week and 83 no pulls, no mis-hits or flubs. Today 43 on front and 37 on back for an 80. Using the driver today with consistency and irons straight as could be. I am still not all the way comfortable with this swing yet. When I am a few months in I can't wait to see how well I am scoring. I use to prefer hitting out of first cut as opposed to fairway because my steep out to in swing was hard to pick a tight lie with a wedge. Today I hit a KFC style wedge from 70 yards with dead aim 2 hops and straight in the cup. I literally never do that. I love your videos! Thanks!

I'm seriously excited for you. I'm 51 and been playing since about 12 too. Have the same issues. Starting to see some improvements by watching these videos. Tom is awesome. Can't wait to try these drills
Tom without knowing this is roughly how I swung the clubs for years but thought I needed to be back down the line and up, drop into a slot etc as per most teaching wisdom. Ended up playing golf swing , and struggle with heavy hits, weak crappy shots etc as do many friends. Your teaching this makes me feel good that hitting the ball solid when playing doesn't require to be a contortionist and massive amounts of pre shot swing thoughts. I find wisdom with the video on how to take divots past the ball actually lets the club be delivered as efficient and stress free as it can be done for golfers. Thanks
So you knew all along that you didn't need the flexibility of a Romanian gymnast to execute a good golf swing, Larry, yet for all those years you tried to pretend that you were Nadia Comaneci??? Yes - 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). We're doing our best here to clear these up one by one and put an end to this madness, 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.......😂 By the way, if you'd really like to get on the fast track towards achieving consistently crispy, compressed ball striking bliss, please consider the SagutoGolf online school.

I really enjoy your video lessons since you entertain us as well as instructing us. Most YT golf videos are probably as entertaining as watching grass grow. Most instructors' 8 minute videos are 7 minutes of empty talk and, maybe, 1 minute of actual instruction and, by the time that starts, I'm half asleep and unable to discern what the point is. You, on the other hand, make it impossible to get sleepy as you get to the point quickly and entertainingly. Plus, what you show us WORKS! Right now, my driving is straight and long but I can't seem to hit an iron to save my soul: either chunks 6 inches behind the ball or thin hits that would leave a big smile on the ball if the balls still had balata covers as they had many moons ago. I plan to implement this technique the next time I can get out. You give me hope when all seems lost and for that, I thank you!
I sincerely appreciate your kind words, @Diogenes 9561, and I'm very glad to know that my instruction content has not been approved as a cure for insomnia!! 😆 With regard to your iron issues, have you considered the comprehensive, structured, sequential learning platform of my online school? 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.

This guy's videos are no joke man. I'm avg'n low 80's ever since I discovered Saguto on youtube. Even on days I feel like I played horribly, I'm beating my group. Last week I 3 putted 9 holes, and still shot a 87. Tom has made the Golf swing simple for me.
Thanks so much for your support and for sharing your success, Juan - I truly appreciate it!! Keep up the great work and have fun out there thrashing your buddies!! Tom
Just starting out with golf, but after 2 of your videos, I can't believe how I'm hitting the ball. Thanks Tom, you're doing something amazing, and making it entertaining too
I truly appreciate your kind words, James, and I'm very glad to know that my channel's instruction content is resonating well with you??

I joined your golf school about 2 weeks ago and by golly, I finally am getting it. Played so we'll, I was relaxed and happy. Thank u and unabashedly I say, I love u ♥️
"Played well, relaxed, and happy..." What more could anyone here possibly desire, Sheila??... 😎 By golly - That's what I call _getting the most out of the game you love!!_ Thanks for sharing your success...and your love. You've made my day! Thanks so much for sharing, keep up the great work, and keep having fun out there!! Tom
I went to the range and tried out the Saguto for the first time after watching 4 videos. The results are immediate! I hit about 200 balls today, it took me 10 swings to get it and then proceeded to start hitting consistent bombs and short feel shots, when I did hit a bad one (maybe 10-11 out of 190) I just walked around, addressed the ball and had 3 thoughts, Hogan arms, tilt to the left and follow through. I LOVE this Saguto swing!!!
I've always struggled with topping the ball and being hugely inconsistent. This is an AMAZING help!! It feels like I'm really connecting, and the ball just rockets off the face. It creates more of a sweeping motion (hands start lower and end lower) and I've been thrilled with the results. Can't wait to get out and play rather than just hit some practice balls in my back yard. I'm sending practice wiffle balls over the roof of my 2 story house with this!
If you're sending whiffle balls into orbit, imagine how the real thing is going to react!!.... I'm very glad to know that this low hands tip resonated well with you. Have fun out there with your newfound wonderful feeling of crispy compression! TS
I took what I learned from the many videos to the course. No warm up bucket. I was lifting up on shots as I was not stretched out but everything the Sag taught me was pure crispness. First time ever I was able to swing knowing I was gone hit crisp. Thanks bro
I changed to the low takeaway mentioned and yesterday shot my best round ever! No balls lost nor wildly errant shots. This tip truly is a game changer. Thanks Tom
I'm very glad to know that this lesson helped you, Thomas - fabulous job incorporating it into your swing so quickly!! Thanks for sharing your success and keep up the great work!! TS
Watched this video went out and played a round working on the feel. Went and played another 9 and kept my score and shot a 39 for a +3 which is hands down the best golf I’ve ever played. Thanks for your video!
That's outstanding, Justin - congrats on your new personal best 9-hole round!! 💪💪 I'm very glad to know that this lesson resonated with you; excellent job incorporating it into your swing and putting it into play.

This tip saved my game!!!. I walked off the course on hole 10 last Saturday so frustrated with the slices, weak fades, chunks and skulls. I decided to give up on the game. But Wow! My swing thought is that there is a house (or wall) behind me and the only way to swing is to rotate inside with low hands. Holy crap… it worked like nothing else. My high 90’s followed up with an 89. Thank you Saguto Golf for this holy grail. 🙏🏌🏽♂️❤️!!

Just applied this today; gave absolutely great contact. Many others have saying alternate types of phrases, but low and around the hip has been the best advice by far.
I'm glad this lesson resonated with you, William nice job putting it in play! Keep up the great work!! 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 checking it out: go.saguto.golf/
Just got back from the range. I have never hit the ball so consistently! Keeping the hands in and low is one of those aha moments. I will sign up for your online course. You deserve to be reimbursed. Thanks.
Awesome, David - I'm very glad to know that this performed well for you, and I'm thrilled to know that you are enrolling in the online school!! By the way, 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! Thanks! Tom
Tom! Although I’m a single plane golfer I found something in what you were saying. I had a year off golf during the pandemic and lost a club length also was having trouble finding the center of the fairway when I recently started back up a few months ago.The past two months the only thing I could improve was my putting. Ive enjoyed a lot of your videos but will stick with single plane, but still find benefit in watching you. I took this tip to the course yesterday. My buddies were amazed! In the first 6 holes I was one over with 3 lip outs. Shot a 77. (Im 72) Thanks!
Your Best Video, Ever, Tom! I was struggling trying to keep my weight left, tilting, etc., and still not compressing the ball. With the hands low and in thought, I hit 2 flagsticks the other day! Works with short game and full swings, too! Thanks so much!
Definitely a weird feeling but played yesterday after only watching some vids and 🍗 Crispy KFC ⛳ Will keep watching and definitely joining up!!Best Lessons Eva!!
And so we say..... Welcome to "the dark side", Rich, where the spoils of "conventional" instruction - chronic inconsistency, physical pain, and endless frustration - yield to the fruits of effortless and body-friendly enjoyment of this great game for a lifetime. 😆 I'm very glad to have you on board. I look forward to hearing from you regularly in the online school's Members' Forum and to assisting you in building a consistent, low maintenance, powerful, body-friendly swing that will bring your enjoyment of this great game to a new level!! Cheers! Tom
I love the old lessons. The thing about the old is the new lessons are very very similar. I'm always watching you before I go to the range and before I take around out. I am a sabuto golf member. Now if we could just get a cheat sheet for the golf course!!
Well, Alan, the swing keys don't change, so it's no surprise that you are noticing plenty of consistency in the instruction content despite the passage of time and the everchanging hairstyles... 😎 Now, I'd much prefer that you ingrain the motion to the point that you never need a cheat sheet - nor any more than one swing thought - when you're out on the course. The school will help get you there; just stick to the curriculum and utilize my a la carte swing video analysis service as needed for repair and maintenance purposes! Tom
Watched some of your other vids and came across this one last night. Game changer. Did several practice swings last night than spent 90+ minutes hitting balls in the garage today. Best session I ever had to date hitting wedge thru driver! Still need more practice, including consistent ball striking but excited & grateful! Mahalo Tom! Stack & Tilt = CRISPY GOODNESS! 😁😁😁
Awesome!! I'm very glad to know that this lesson resonated so well with you. Nice job incorporating it into your swing!! Keep up the great work and keep it crispy! Aloha, Tom
I'm aware this vid's been up a while but as a fellow golf coach, I enjoy looking at your amusing vids. "...because your a lifter & a shifter." 😄😄😄 I have to tell you that just yesterday I was breaking a student out of the, ( what I call ) the 'Little to No Shoulder Turn' golf swing. I told her that steering the club in front of her left leg & lifting it is poison. By turning her shoulders the correct way, I told her she would feel like her hands are behind her but in reality they'd be parallel to the right side of her right leg. When she managed to execute this turn, she immediately saw an incremental improvement with her distance as well as accuracy, and I'll be sure to have her look at this vid the very next time we get together. Thx for helping struggling golfers who just don't want to look inept or idiotic when playing with others, because that's all they're really looking to achieve when it comes down to it.
Hi Steve, I sincerely appreciate your comment and I'm glad to know that you are enjoying my content as a fellow instructor!! Yes indeed - what it really all comes down to is helping golfers get to the point where they are having fun out there playing this great game, whatever that might mean to each of them individually. Thanks again, and all my best to you and your coaching endeavors!! Tom
Lol - just seen this video, Tom. I was definitely swinging too flat, now I’m hitting how you demonstrated at start - with my hands far too high and butt of club pointing at my right toe at top of backswing, so no depth whatsoever. We’ve had very icy week here in London, so Golf Courses closed until weekend where I am, But, I’ve done a few swings indoors without breaking anything 😁 and seems to keep me more centred and I can get much better coil, hence depth. Looking forward to giving it a go over the range next week - cheers Tom 👍
LOL! I'm very glad to know that this lesson video resonated with you, Ken, and I hope it performs well when you bring it outdoors! The swing is a tilted circle (or arc, if we wish to get technical), the circumference of which extends from the ball to above and behind our shoulders. As such, if we are going to remain on that circle/arc it requires the hands and club to take a slightly inward path - not "flat" and definitely not a disconnected handsy snatch or roll to the inside - just a natural tracing of the outer rim or circumference. The feeling of "straight back" can easily pull the golfer off of that preestablished geometry right from the start, and from there precise compensatory actions are necessary if there is any hope of returning the clubface to the ball on the proper path time after time. If interested here is a more recent episode pertaining to this same topic: ruclips.net/video/AB7NGjHrRvg/видео.html Indeed, we create depth in this swing, and that enables us to fully engage the shoulders and harness the power of swinging on a circle through a seemingly effortless force known as "angular momentum".

Hi Tom FYI, been having a little trouble with my full swing (S&T that I learned from you) saw this tip about keeping hands low and back. Problem solved with first swing this morning😁 KFC buddy. Thx!!
Tom, I had a CRISPY round in Cabo today after watching this video. I was a little off- this got me right back on track! Why loop and lop and hook and chop when you can swing it low and watch it GO!!!
Alright, Mark. I suppose my short-lived poetry days are now over and done with, though I think your smoothly flowing verse may be under the influence of a bit of Cabo Wabo and warrants post-rhyme testing for such performance-enhancing substances.... 😎 Nicely done!! I'm glad this lesson video was exactly the reset button you needed! Have fun out there, and keep it crispy from this point forward!! Tom
Hey Tom, I really want to Thank you for saving my golf game! I have recommended you to many of my friends! Your explanations are spot on! I Hope many many others follow what you are teaching! I am thrilled and I know many others will be also! Thank you for my golf swing! Sincerely, Ken Dietrich
I truly appreciate your kind words and support, Ken, and I am thrilled to know that you have rekindled your enthusiasm for this great game!! You've done a tremendous job interpreting the lesson content and incorporating it into your swing, and now you can truly enjoy the fruits of your efforts! Thanks so much for sharing your success, keep up the great work, and have fun out there!! Tom
Hi Tom. I've been watching your vids since late November and have been able to practice at the range twice since then. Today at the range things finally kicked in! I went through most of the bag but wasn't until the last dozen or so where I hit every shot string straight. My biggest key was letting my hands passing my right pocket on the backswing and making sure I put my right shoulder under my chin on the down swing. Can't wait to play next weekend here's in sunny AZ! You will probably here from me within the next month to be a new member!
Tommy boy absolutely love your excellent teaching methods they sure have helped my game bruv, winter in the UK at present so not going very far at the moment range work on the agenda today.
Throw the butt end of the club at the ball it will force your hips to come around hold your wrists dont let them flip and the ball will be crushed, you can basically do your set up pick the club up near your shoulder and throw the butt end at the ball and hit the ball flush. (with practice) But you have to do the Stack N Tilt swing. I just did everything Tom said ran outside tried it and was like wtf this guy is a genius and the way he teaches is like nobody else you learn sometimes and retain it because of the way it was presented funny theatrics and spot on information.
Thanks Tom makes perfect sense your not us amateurs you don't have the same problem as swinging to much over the plane . Going to set this up in my backyard net and try it . Love your videos and wish I had your swing work in progress.

They (Mike Bennett & Andy Plummer) would take a picture of this position, then show it to me, and I couldn't believe it: it was in perfect position. My feel was way off, but their geometry wasn't.

OMG...I was on you tube until 1:00am last night. My index has gone up from 8 to 16 my ball striking was a mess. I was at the point where it's just not fun shooting 95 and struggling to make solid contact. Losing distance swinging harder trying this trying that. Then I watched this and a lightbulb 💡 went off. I just crushed a full bucket. Crispy. Thanks so much for your insight. You're the best.
That's fantastic, Jim! I'm very this lesson clicked with you; nice job incorporating it into your swing. Thanks very much for sharing your success. Now, get back to having fun out there!!

Big thanks to you! As a ex mini tour player , I had lost all feel, was ready to pack it in with golf, sell the clubs and take up tennis! I just happened to watch your video, and the bell went off. I forgot to keep it simple stupid!!!! THANKS!
That's awesome, Paul! I'm very glad to know that this lesson clicked with you and kept you on the course and off the courts!! 😎 Welcome back, and have fun out there!! Tom
i like this low hands feel. tried it and was flushing it. only gripe i have is to make sure to keep the hands in and clubhead out on the takeaway otherwise gonna you're going to pull the clubhead way inside and low on takeaway and have no choice but to come over the top. i try to keep the 'hands in, clubhead out' till i reach about trail thigh then proceed with the low hands backswing finish. thanks for posting this!
I'm glad to know that this lesson resonated well with you, Irwin. You are correct in that this is not a disconnected snatch or roll to the inside - just a natural tracing of the outer rim or circumference of our tilted swing circle preestablished at address. Here are some lessons related to this: - ruclips.net/video/1gzcyrJ_yBw/видео.html - ruclips.net/video/WxDD63quyk8/видео.html - ruclips.net/video/ylVWSenTtOw/видео.html We create depth in this swing, and that enables us to harness the power of swinging on a circle through a seemingly effortless force known as angular momentum. Keep up the great work!!

Hey I've been watching your videos for about six months and I also have been watching other single plane instructions and this morning out at Hidden Valley golf course in Gaston, SC on hole 5 I hit a 328 yard drive right down the middle of the fairway
Eric Cogorno has been trying to get me to get more depth on my backswing for a while and I didnt get it. Coupling this and seeing the depth you are getting is giving me a whole new perspective on what Eric was trying to get me to feel. Thanks Tom!
Eric is great! Sometimes we just need to hear something from another voice or see it demonstrated differently for it to resonate. Anyway, I'm very glad this clicked with you, Chris!! Tom
Bottom line, Tom is THE BEST instructor I've ever encountered! The golf swing simplified, all while making you crack up because he's freaking hilarious! Tom I want to golf with you bro!!! For real, that would be so awesome! Actually I have a question regarding playing in wind, but I will save it for when I get to meet you someday! Keep rollin brother!
My pleasure, LaMarr!! I know it's probably contrary to nearly everything you've heard before, but trust it - and use video often to confirm, because I can nearly guarantee that there's going to be a wide disparity between "feel" and "real" until you ingrain it!! Tom
You caught me, Rodney... 😬 To the keen eye this has to be understood as a bit of a "do as I say, not as I do" thing. My miss tends to be too much in-to-out, imparting too much draw spin on the ball. This is why I personally execute the drill with a downswing plane slightly above the backswing. If I shallowed it anymore in this drill you would be introduced to "The Janitor" - my big sweeping overdraw. Take away the stick and my two planes tend to match each other. For the vast majority of amateurs, however, they would do well to perform this drill exactly as I described it - swinging under the stick in both directions to combat the independent lifting of the arms in the backswing and the steep chop in the downswing. Tom
@@SagutoGolfI was scrolling through the comments to see if someone else asked about this before I did. Glad to see not just me that was curious about it.
I'm glad this worked well for you, Skinner Dude!! 😎 it’s essentially the same swing with every club; just some minor setup differences and naturally occurring shaft plane changes as we graduate up in club length from short irons to woods. (In fact, here is a video of Stack and Tilt co-founder Mike Bennett hitting the driver: ruclips.net/video/7fmtzyH3rsA/видео.html. It looks very similar to his iron swing, right?: ruclips.net/video/SLjwU_1Cc7o/видео.html ) If you do a search on this channel you'll see some content on the driver and fairway woods. Upon learning this swing properly you will be harnessing the tremendous power source known as "angular momentum".

STRRRR-IKE! 2 from 2 already, Tom. 2nd tip, 2nd day at the range and another successful outcome - crispy irons flying straight and high every time (after the expected initial misfires). Chicken dinner tonight, fella!
Took this feel to the course and the biggest difference was with my long irons, hybrids and driver!!! not a slice in sight just a perfect draw around the tree on the 18th..........thanks Tom
I appreciate your kind words and would be glad to see you for a lesson if you're able to make your way to SC! Just be sure to schedule it several weeks ahead as my limited number of available lesson slots tend to book up well in advance. Thanks again and have fun out there!! Tom
Hey Tom, did this exact thing and implemented it today. I was pureeing my irons and hitting greens. This works as advertised! Driver.........well, lets not get into that right now.

Tom, your lessons are so succinct and amazingly easy to follow. For this shot though, from 6:42 to 6:46 when you're "making up for the last one", it looks like your backswing is under the stick but your foreswing goes up and over it when it comes down on the ball; but you still make a sick strike. Is that intentional for a reason I didn't catch in this vid or another? Can you show more in-depth slo-mo versions of these swing paths?
I'm glad you are enjoying my instruction content, Michael! Yes - nice catch! To the keener eyes such as yours this has to be understood as a bit of a "do as I say, not as I do" thing. My miss tends to be too much in-to-out, thus imparting too much draw spin on the ball. This is why I personally execute the drill with a downswing plane slightly above the backswing.

Welcome to "the dark side", Vincent, where the spoils of "conventional" instruction - chronic inconsistency, physical pain, and endless frustration - yield to the fruits of effortless and body-friendly enjoyment of this great game for a lifetime. 😆 I'm very glad to have you on board!! Cheers! Tom
This is a game changer for most amateurs. Stops lifting of the arms and disconnection. You are not as flat as you think you are. Swim around the belt line and to the inside...without yanking the club head way inside from the start. I wassceotical,but so much momentum indirection of travel.
You are absolutely correct, Gordon. What feels like the "belt line" to most folks who have been accustomed to shifting and lifting their entire golfing lives is more likely going to be closer to the shoulder line. "Feel vs. Real"! And the angular momentum we are able to harness from creating that depth is a tremendous and effortless power source! Thanks for your comment! Tom

Wow, something I’ve done on the range by chance a couple times. Worked great but thought I was working on the wrong thing based on what I was taught by others so went back to my crappy old miserable swing. Oh the years I’ve wasted of my golfing life. My planters fasciitis is killing me but I’m going to take Motrin till my stomach bleeds to get back out there tomorrow!
Your choice on club selection, @Jred Hamilton, though I wouldn't recommend starting with anything longer than a 6 iron. I hope this works well for you!! TS
I moved to this style of swing. I just can’t reliably do the upright and rerouting modern swing stuff. This one works well for me anyway because I am bit of a weight lifter. I can just turn into it. Thanks for stopping my shank and steep downswing.

In your practice swing you go under the stick in back and downswing but when you hit the ball (In a frame by frame) you go under the stick on the backswing and over the stick on the downswing. Please explain which is correct.
Great lesson Tom but wishing you would have addressed the hand path at and after impact ie swinging left and maintaining left arm connection! Great lesson and funny too!🙏

I monitor the forum regularly and am a frequent participant in the discussions, including assisting with swing-related inquiries. I really think you’ll enjoy it!)
2. The net is a DIY job. It is approximately 7’ tall and 8’ wide, with the main structure being 1-1/2" PVC. We used this video as a starting point - ruclips.net/video/-p11qs4E2T0/видео.html - and then made some other minor PVC support structure modifications to suit our needs. We did not use PVC cement as this allows us to easily disassemble it if necessary. The net we used differs from the screening material in the video. Ours was purchased through Amazon - “NETTEXX Golf Cage Impact Net 10ft X 10ft” - as were these bungees for attaching the net to the frame - “Kotap BB-6B Ball Bungee Cords with Elastic String for Canopy, Tarp, Straps, Tent, Poles and Wires, 6-Inch (25-Count), Black”. (If using a net like we did you probably won’t need the screw hooks that are mentioned in the video - the bungees should suffice.)

@@christopherramon7029what?
Just signed up for your 1 year membership. Hell, I owe you more than that for the extreme value you’ve afforded me with your You Tube vids alone. My 20 year golf journey is really getting good, finally with your guidance. I trust no one but Tom as he’s the only instructor that has given me solid repeatable mechanics in a very simple to learn approach. All the wasted time and money I’ve spent with other instructors and You Tube instructors who really have no business teaching is a major face palm moment for me right now. I fully endorse this guy. His free vids have taken me to low 80’s from not being able to break 90 until 5 months ago. I firmly believe I will break 80 very soon once I start his program, I am very excited and relieved to finally have an instructor I can trust. Choosing a golf instructor is one of life’s greatest stressors, way more so than choosing a doctor, for me anyway, lol.
Just as you say, I was consistently in the 100's, dropped to the 90's after watching Tom and now in the high 80's. I just need to work on my short game. If I could chip and pitch I'd be golden, my putting is great.
@@TigerMarine62 chipping was lost on me for 20 years until 5 months ago. Weight on forward foot, just take it back like you are putting and have a good tempo and always follow thru. My chipping is the best part of my game right now. I've at least got that piece of the puzzle solved, lol.
I truly appreciate the very kind words and endorsement, @Wyatt_Scott!! Yes - life is too short to play bad golf, so I'm thrilled to learn of your dramatic improvement and am very glad to know that my channel's instruction content played a role in it!! I look forward to seeing you participating in the online school's Members' Forum, where a robust, fun, and highly supportive community has really taken shape!

@@SagutoGolfHi Tom, How can I sign up to become membership on youtube
I just started the online program 1 week ago, been teaching myself stack and tilt for a month now with Tom’s video, today I shot 83 (39 on the back, where I normally struggle) I haven’t played for 3 weeks, prior 2 games were 92-94. I find more fairways, more green in regulation, pick-up 15-20 yards on my irons, 60 on my drive. Golf is good , life is good.
Most excellent, Francis!! That is some fabulous improvement in a very short amount of time!!
Keep up the great work, and enjoy the Good Life!!

I'm a terrible golf student. Ive spent so many hours at the range and have adopted so many different swings it's embarrassing. A couple of weeks ago I decided to try a lower, flatter swing and had some success. Today, I figured out that keeping my hands low was the trick. I couldn't believe how well I was hitting the ball. Searched for low hands in a golf swing and RUclips took me right to you. I didn't get what you were saying before. I do now. Thank you so much.

PS: With regard to receiving swing information from different sources, please be careful in navigating the muddied, overly-complicated, oft-conflicting realm of golf instruction. That is not a dig against any other teachers out there. It's simply best to commit to a system - whether it be this body-friendly, powerful, consistent, low-maintenance method or another - put your blinders on, and stick to it. And if the system I teach appeals to you or at the very least stokes your curiosity, then here is a link to my FREE mini course “The Top 3 Things You Need to Be a Great Ball Striker”: go.saguto.golf/ It's a great way to gain a fundamental understanding of this system as well as an introduction to the instruction style that has thousands of men and women from across the globe - spanning all age ranges and experience levels - enjoying the best golf of their lives: saguto.golf/p/sagutogolfreviews
I stumbled across this video. As advertised IT CHANGED MY LIFE!! .. the change was instant. One session at the range and I was CRUSHING IT. Thank you so much for putting this content out there for everyone. More club speed , more distance, less effort. What more could you ask for 😊
FANTASTIC!! I'm very glad to know that this lesson resonated with you; excellent job incorporating it into your swing and putting it into play.
Thanks so much for sharing your instant and dramatic improvement, and keep up the great work!! 💪💪

I have been lifting and shifting since I was 12 and I am 52. Slice so bad I stopped using driver last few years since I can hit my irons OK. My divot was so outside to in and I could slice a ball then pull it way left on the next shot. I follow everything on youtube swing related. I stumbled on this 2-3 weeks ago. I was shooting mid 90s and would get in the high 80s about once per season. I am just starting stack and tilt and first round 95 but about a half dozen super compressed irons dead straight. 2nd round last week and 83 no pulls, no mis-hits or flubs. Today 43 on front and 37 on back for an 80. Using the driver today with consistency and irons straight as could be. I am still not all the way comfortable with this swing yet. When I am a few months in I can't wait to see how well I am scoring. I use to prefer hitting out of first cut as opposed to fairway because my steep out to in swing was hard to pick a tight lie with a wedge. Today I hit a KFC style wedge from 70 yards with dead aim 2 hops and straight in the cup. I literally never do that. I love your videos! Thanks!

I'm seriously excited for you. I'm 51 and been playing since about 12 too. Have the same issues. Starting to see some improvements by watching these videos. Tom is awesome. Can't wait to try these drills
Tom without knowing this is roughly how I swung the clubs for years but thought I needed to be back down the line and up, drop into a slot etc as per most teaching wisdom. Ended up playing golf swing , and struggle with heavy hits, weak crappy shots etc as do many friends. Your teaching this makes me feel good that hitting the ball solid when playing doesn't require to be a contortionist and massive amounts of pre shot swing thoughts. I find wisdom with the video on how to take divots past the ball actually lets the club be delivered as efficient and stress free as it can be done for golfers. Thanks
So you knew all along that you didn't need the flexibility of a Romanian gymnast to execute a good golf swing, Larry, yet for all those years you tried to pretend that you were Nadia Comaneci???
Yes - 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). We're doing our best here to clear these up one by one and put an end to this madness, 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.......😂

I really enjoy your video lessons since you entertain us as well as instructing us. Most YT golf videos are probably as entertaining as watching grass grow. Most instructors' 8 minute videos are 7 minutes of empty talk and, maybe, 1 minute of actual instruction and, by the time that starts, I'm half asleep and unable to discern what the point is. You, on the other hand, make it impossible to get sleepy as you get to the point quickly and entertainingly. Plus, what you show us WORKS! Right now, my driving is straight and long but I can't seem to hit an iron to save my soul: either chunks 6 inches behind the ball or thin hits that would leave a big smile on the ball if the balls still had balata covers as they had many moons ago. I plan to implement this technique the next time I can get out. You give me hope when all seems lost and for that, I thank you!
I sincerely appreciate your kind words, @Diogenes 9561, and I'm very glad to know that my instruction content has not been approved as a cure for insomnia!! 😆
With regard to your iron issues, have you considered the comprehensive, structured, sequential learning platform of my online school? 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.

This guy's videos are no joke man. I'm avg'n low 80's ever since I discovered Saguto on youtube. Even on days I feel like I played horribly, I'm beating my group. Last week I 3 putted 9 holes, and still shot a 87. Tom has made the Golf swing simple for me.
Thanks so much for your support and for sharing your success, Juan - I truly appreciate it!!
Keep up the great work and have fun out there thrashing your buddies!!
Tom
Just starting out with golf, but after 2 of your videos, I can't believe how I'm hitting the ball. Thanks Tom, you're doing something amazing, and making it entertaining too
I truly appreciate your kind words, James, and I'm very glad to know that my channel's instruction content is resonating well with you?? Perhaps someday soon I'll see you enrolled in the SagutoGolf online school for just $10 US/month or $99 US/year?? 😎

I joined your golf school about 2 weeks ago and by golly, I finally am getting it. Played so we'll, I was relaxed and happy. Thank u and unabashedly I say, I love u ♥️
"Played well, relaxed, and happy..." What more could anyone here possibly desire, Sheila??... 😎
By golly - That's what I call _getting the most out of the game you love!!_
Thanks for sharing your success...and your love. You've made my day!
Thanks so much for sharing, keep up the great work, and keep having fun out there!!
Tom
I went to the range and tried out the Saguto for the first time after watching 4 videos. The results are immediate! I hit about 200 balls today, it took me 10 swings to get it and then proceeded to start hitting consistent bombs and short feel shots, when I did hit a bad one (maybe 10-11 out of 190) I just walked around, addressed the ball and had 3 thoughts, Hogan arms, tilt to the left and follow through. I LOVE this Saguto swing!!!
Well done, @psan24!!
Thanks for sharing your success, keep up the great work, and have fun out there!!
Tom
I've always struggled with topping the ball and being hugely inconsistent. This is an AMAZING help!! It feels like I'm really connecting, and the ball just rockets off the face. It creates more of a sweeping motion (hands start lower and end lower) and I've been thrilled with the results. Can't wait to get out and play rather than just hit some practice balls in my back yard. I'm sending practice wiffle balls over the roof of my 2 story house with this!
If you're sending whiffle balls into orbit, imagine how the real thing is going to react!!....
I'm very glad to know that this low hands tip resonated well with you. Have fun out there with your newfound wonderful feeling of crispy compression!
TS
@SagutoGolf do we do the same drill with the driver or is this for irons only?
I took what I learned from the many videos to the course. No warm up bucket. I was lifting up on shots as I was not stretched out but everything the Sag taught me was pure crispness. First time ever I was able to swing knowing I was gone hit crisp. Thanks bro
"The Sag" is very pleased to learn of your success, @Bombdizzler_Money!! 😂
Keep it Krispy and have fun out there!!
Tom, I took your tip to the range today, then played 9 holes. I shot my lowest 9 ever in my life , a 38, +2. You’re a great teacher thank you so much
Fantastic!! Well done, Christopher!!
Keep up the great work and have fun out there!
Tom
I changed to the low takeaway mentioned and yesterday shot my best round ever! No balls lost nor wildly errant shots. This tip truly is a game changer.
Thanks Tom
I'm very glad to know that this lesson helped you, Thomas - fabulous job incorporating it into your swing so quickly!!
Thanks for sharing your success and keep up the great work!!
TS
Watched this video went out and played a round working on the feel. Went and played another 9 and kept my score and shot a 39 for a +3 which is hands down the best golf I’ve ever played. Thanks for your video!
That's outstanding, Justin - congrats on your new personal best 9-hole round!! 💪💪
I'm very glad to know that this lesson resonated with you; excellent job incorporating it into your swing and putting it into play.
Thanks so much for sharing your dramatic improvement and keep up the great work!!

Yes, I am on RUclips looking up golf tips. But I only look at yours.
That is the only acceptable response, David.......😆😆😆
This tip saved my game!!!. I walked off the course on hole 10 last Saturday so frustrated with the slices, weak fades, chunks and skulls. I decided to give up on the game. But Wow! My swing thought is that there is a house (or wall) behind me and the only way to swing is to rotate inside with low hands. Holy crap… it worked like nothing else. My high 90’s followed up with an 89. Thank you Saguto Golf for this holy grail. 🙏🏌🏽♂️❤️!!
Well done, @Lduke32 - I'm very glad to know that this lesson helped to bring you back from the ledge!!

Just applied this today; gave absolutely great contact.
Many others have saying alternate types of phrases, but low and around the hip has been the best advice by far.
I'm glad this lesson resonated with you, William nice job putting it in play!
Keep up the great work!!
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 checking it out: go.saguto.golf/
Just got back from the range. I have never hit the ball so consistently! Keeping the hands in and low is one of those aha moments. I will sign up for your online course. You deserve to be reimbursed. Thanks.
Awesome, David - I'm very glad to know that this performed well for you, and I'm thrilled to know that you are enrolling in the online school!!
By the way, 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!
Thanks!
Tom
Tom! Although I’m a single plane golfer I found something in what you were saying. I had a year off golf during the pandemic and lost a club length also was having trouble finding the center of the fairway when I recently started back up a few months ago.The past two months the only thing I could improve was my putting. Ive enjoyed a lot of your videos but will stick with single plane, but still find benefit in watching you. I took this tip to the course yesterday. My buddies were amazed! In the first 6 holes I was one over with 3 lip outs. Shot a 77. (Im 72) Thanks!
Nice job, Lee!! I'm glad this lesson and drill resonated well with you!!
Keep up the great work and have fun out there!
Tom
Your Best Video, Ever, Tom! I was struggling trying to keep my weight left, tilting, etc., and still not compressing the ball. With the hands low and in thought, I hit 2 flagsticks the other day! Works with short game and full swings, too! Thanks so much!
Definitely a weird feeling but played yesterday after only watching some vids and 🍗 Crispy KFC ⛳ Will keep watching and definitely joining up!!Best Lessons Eva!!
And so we say..... Welcome to "the dark side", Rich, where the spoils of "conventional" instruction - chronic inconsistency, physical pain, and endless frustration - yield to the fruits of effortless and body-friendly enjoyment of this great game for a lifetime. 😆
I'm very glad to have you on board. I look forward to hearing from you regularly in the online school's Members' Forum and to assisting you in building a consistent, low maintenance, powerful, body-friendly swing that will bring your enjoyment of this great game to a new level!!
Cheers!
Tom
I love the old lessons. The thing about the old is the new lessons are very very similar. I'm always watching you before I go to the range and before I take around out. I am a sabuto golf member. Now if we could just get a cheat sheet for the golf course!!
Well, Alan, the swing keys don't change, so it's no surprise that you are noticing plenty of consistency in the instruction content despite the passage of time and the everchanging hairstyles... 😎
Now, I'd much prefer that you ingrain the motion to the point that you never need a cheat sheet - nor any more than one swing thought - when you're out on the course. The school will help get you there; just stick to the curriculum and utilize my a la carte swing video analysis service as needed for repair and maintenance purposes!
Tom
Best instruction online. My game is transforming because of these videos
Thanks Chris - I appreciate your kind words and I'm very glad to learn of your improvement!!
Tom
Thanx , Seguto. I will take that lesson to the driving range then to course.
Sounds good, Joe. I hope it played well for you!!
Tom
Watched some of your other vids and came across this one last night. Game changer. Did several practice swings last night than spent 90+ minutes hitting balls in the garage today. Best session I ever had to date hitting wedge thru driver! Still need more practice, including consistent ball striking but excited & grateful! Mahalo Tom! Stack & Tilt = CRISPY GOODNESS! 😁😁😁
Awesome!! I'm very glad to know that this lesson resonated so well with you. Nice job incorporating it into your swing!!
Keep up the great work and keep it crispy!
Aloha,
Tom
What can I say that I haven't said before Tom you are just a natural instructor and a winner not forgetting great guitar player
Thanks Tony! Nice to hear from you, and I always appreciate your kind words!
I hope all is well!
Tom
I'm aware this vid's been up a while but as a fellow golf coach, I enjoy looking at your amusing vids. "...because your a lifter & a shifter." 😄😄😄
I have to tell you that just yesterday I was breaking a student out of the, ( what I call ) the 'Little to No Shoulder Turn' golf swing. I told her that steering the club in front of her left leg & lifting it is poison. By turning her shoulders the correct way, I told her she would feel like her hands are behind her but in reality they'd be parallel to the right side of her right leg. When she managed to execute this turn, she immediately saw an incremental improvement with her distance as well as accuracy, and I'll be sure to have her look at this vid the very next time we get together. Thx for helping struggling golfers who just don't want to look inept or idiotic when playing with others, because that's all they're really looking to achieve when it comes down to it.
Hi Steve,
I sincerely appreciate your comment and I'm glad to know that you are enjoying my content as a fellow instructor!!
Yes indeed - what it really all comes down to is helping golfers get to the point where they are having fun out there playing this great game, whatever that might mean to each of them individually.
Thanks again, and all my best to you and your coaching endeavors!!
Tom
Tom Seguto, bringing hope to golfers one youtube video at a time!
Resistance is futile, Gregor - they will be assimilated.....😆😆
Humility over pride. Tom you have a gift to teach. Well done
Thank you - I truly appreciate your very kind words!!
Tom
Lol - just seen this video, Tom. I was definitely swinging too flat, now I’m hitting how you demonstrated at start - with my hands far too high and butt of club pointing at my right toe at top of backswing, so no depth whatsoever. We’ve had very icy week here in London, so Golf Courses closed until weekend where I am, But, I’ve done a few swings indoors without breaking anything 😁 and seems to keep me more centred and I can get much better coil, hence depth. Looking forward to giving it a go over the range next week - cheers Tom 👍
LOL! I'm very glad to know that this lesson video resonated with you, Ken, and I hope it performs well when you bring it outdoors!
The swing is a tilted circle (or arc, if we wish to get technical), the circumference of which extends from the ball to above and behind our shoulders. As such, if we are going to remain on that circle/arc it requires the hands and club to take a slightly inward path - not "flat" and definitely not a disconnected handsy snatch or roll to the inside - just a natural tracing of the outer rim or circumference. The feeling of "straight back" can easily pull the golfer off of that preestablished geometry right from the start, and from there precise compensatory actions are necessary if there is any hope of returning the clubface to the ball on the proper path time after time.
If interested here is a more recent episode pertaining to this same topic: ruclips.net/video/AB7NGjHrRvg/видео.html
Indeed, we create depth in this swing, and that enables us to fully engage the shoulders and harness the power of swinging on a circle through a seemingly effortless force known as "angular momentum".
Thanks for your message and stay warm!!

I HAVE NEVER FELT THE BALL EXPLODE OFF MY CLUB LIKE THAT!!
More important than addition of 25+ yards of carry, was consistency I've never had before!
Great video!
Awesome!! 💪💪

Hi Tom FYI, been having a little trouble with my full swing (S&T that I learned from you) saw this tip about keeping hands low and back. Problem solved with first swing this morning😁 KFC buddy. Thx!!
Great!!
Now Keep it Krispy, Jack!!
Tom, I had a CRISPY round in Cabo today after watching this video. I was a little off- this got me right back on track! Why loop and lop and hook and chop when you can swing it low and watch it GO!!!
Alright, Mark. I suppose my short-lived poetry days are now over and done with, though I think your smoothly flowing verse may be under the influence of a bit of Cabo Wabo and warrants post-rhyme testing for such performance-enhancing substances.... 😎
Nicely done!! I'm glad this lesson video was exactly the reset button you needed!
Have fun out there, and keep it crispy from this point forward!!
Tom
Wow! I finally understand; thank you for the online course!
Great!! Glad to have you onboard!!
Tom
LOL. I just sat in my truck after the range this morning and said these things. You're awesome dude! I love it!
LOL!! I'm glad you enjoyed it!!
Thanks!
Tom
Hey Tom, I really want to Thank you for saving my golf game! I have recommended you to many of my friends! Your explanations are spot on! I Hope many many others follow what you are teaching! I am thrilled and I know many others will be also! Thank you for my golf swing! Sincerely, Ken Dietrich
I truly appreciate your kind words and support, Ken, and I am thrilled to know that you have rekindled your enthusiasm for this great game!! You've done a tremendous job interpreting the lesson content and incorporating it into your swing, and now you can truly enjoy the fruits of your efforts!
Thanks so much for sharing your success, keep up the great work, and have fun out there!!
Tom
Hi Tom. I've been watching your vids since late November and have been able to practice at the range twice since then. Today at the range things finally kicked in! I went through most of the bag but wasn't until the last dozen or so where I hit every shot string straight. My biggest key was letting my hands passing my right pocket on the backswing and making sure I put my right shoulder under my chin on the down swing. Can't wait to play next weekend here's in sunny AZ! You will probably here from me within the next month to be a new member!
Well done, Grant!!
Keep up the great work, have fun out there in the desert, and I'll look forward to seeing you soon in the online school!
Tom
Thanks Tom I'm going to another level with this.
My pleasure, Jim!! I'm glad my instruction is resonating well with you!!
TS
Tommy boy absolutely love your excellent teaching methods they sure have helped my game bruv, winter in the UK at present so not going very far at the moment range work on the agenda today.
Thanks David - I am very glad to know that you are enjoying and benefiting from my channel's lesson content!!
Stay warm out there!!
Tom
Thank you Tom. I'm feeling more confident now
My pleasure, Jim - I'm glad this lesson helped!!
Throw the butt end of the club at the ball it will force your hips to come around hold your wrists dont let them flip and the ball will be crushed, you can basically do your set up pick the club up near your shoulder and throw the butt end at the ball and hit the ball flush. (with practice) But you have to do the Stack N Tilt swing. I just did everything Tom said ran outside tried it and was like wtf this guy is a genius and the way he teaches is like nobody else you learn sometimes and retain it because of the way it was presented funny theatrics and spot on information.
Thanks Tom makes perfect sense your not us amateurs you don't have the same problem as swinging to much over the plane . Going to set this up in my backyard net and try it . Love your videos and wish I had your swing work in progress.
Sounds good, Roy! I hope this drill works well for you.

Thank you so much for making this video!
I've often done this and hit some really good shots only to decide this couldn't possibly be right and subsequently abandoning it!

They (Mike Bennett & Andy Plummer) would take a picture of this position, then show it to me, and I couldn't believe it: it was in perfect position. My feel was way off, but their geometry wasn't. It felt foreign at first, but my ball striking told me I was on the right track."_

He has the best hair on RUclips, and his instruction is pretty sound too !
What more could one possibly want from a RUclips channel???.......😂😂😂
It looks to me like the downswing is on the opposite side of the stick as the backswing is?
I am 66 yea young.just started watching your video I have dropped from a 106÷ to a consistent 90, 91. Thanks so much Alan
That's *AWESOME,* Alan!!

OMG...I was on you tube until 1:00am last night. My index has gone up from 8 to 16 my ball striking was a mess. I was at the point where it's just not fun shooting 95 and struggling to make solid contact. Losing distance swinging harder trying this trying that. Then I watched this and a lightbulb 💡 went off. I just crushed a full bucket. Crispy. Thanks so much for your insight. You're the best.
That's fantastic, Jim! I'm very this lesson clicked with you; nice job incorporating it into your swing.
Thanks very much for sharing your success. Now, get back to having fun out there!!

Big thanks to you! As a ex mini tour player , I had lost all feel, was ready to pack it in with golf, sell the clubs and take up tennis! I just happened to watch your video, and the bell went off. I forgot to keep it simple stupid!!!! THANKS!
That's awesome, Paul! I'm very glad to know that this lesson clicked with you and kept you on the course and off the courts!! 😎
Welcome back, and have fun out there!!
Tom
i like this low hands feel. tried it and was flushing it. only gripe i have is to make sure to keep the hands in and clubhead out on the takeaway otherwise gonna you're going to pull the clubhead way inside and low on takeaway and have no choice but to come over the top. i try to keep the 'hands in, clubhead out' till i reach about trail thigh then proceed with the low hands backswing finish. thanks for posting this!
I'm glad to know that this lesson resonated well with you, Irwin.
You are correct in that this is not a disconnected snatch or roll to the inside - just a natural tracing of the outer rim or circumference of our tilted swing circle preestablished at address. Here are some lessons related to this:
- ruclips.net/video/1gzcyrJ_yBw/видео.html
- ruclips.net/video/WxDD63quyk8/видео.html
- ruclips.net/video/ylVWSenTtOw/видео.html
We create depth in this swing, and that enables us to harness the power of swinging on a circle through a seemingly effortless force known as angular momentum.
Keep up the great work!!
Tom

Hey I've been watching your videos for about six months and I also have been watching other single plane instructions and this morning out at Hidden Valley golf course in Gaston, SC on hole 5 I hit a 328 yard drive right down the middle of the fairway
That's some SERIOUS MASHED POTATOES, Preston!!! How much fun was that???.... 💪💪💪
Well done!
Tom
Eric Cogorno has been trying to get me to get more depth on my backswing for a while and I didnt get it. Coupling this and seeing the depth you are getting is giving me a whole new perspective on what Eric was trying to get me to feel. Thanks Tom!
Thats no ding on Eric, I love that guy.
Eric is great! Sometimes we just need to hear something from another voice or see it demonstrated differently for it to resonate. Anyway, I'm very glad this clicked with you, Chris!!
Tom
Bottom line, Tom is THE BEST instructor I've ever encountered! The golf swing simplified, all while making you crack up because he's freaking hilarious! Tom I want to golf with you bro!!! For real, that would be so awesome! Actually I have a question regarding playing in wind, but I will save it for when I get to meet you someday! Keep rollin brother!
LOL! Thanks Daniel - I truly appreciate the kind words and support!!

"Belt High Hands" - this is the first I ever heard that. I am on it. Thank you!!!
My pleasure, LaMarr!! I know it's probably contrary to nearly everything you've heard before, but trust it - and use video often to confirm, because I can nearly guarantee that there's going to be a wide disparity between "feel" and "real" until you ingrain it!!
Tom
I like your style of teaching
Thanks Darin - I truly appreciate your kind words!!
Tom
I watched this before my round today and just thought about the crazy low hands feel during my warmup. I mashed the ball today, tied my pb. 🤙
Best instructor on the planet right here people.
Your comments are far too generous, @DCford2020, but I do appreciate the support!!
TS
You’re inspirational Tom. Thank you
Thanks Kim - I appreciate your kind words and I'm glad to know that you are enjoying my content!!
Tom
At around 6.45 the downswing looked outside the stick.. you described it as best yet.
You caught me, Rodney... 😬 To the keen eye this has to be understood as a bit of a "do as I say, not as I do" thing. My miss tends to be too much in-to-out, imparting too much draw spin on the ball. This is why I personally execute the drill with a downswing plane slightly above the backswing. If I shallowed it anymore in this drill you would be introduced to "The Janitor" - my big sweeping overdraw. Take away the stick and my two planes tend to match each other. For the vast majority of amateurs, however, they would do well to perform this drill exactly as I described it - swinging under the stick in both directions to combat the independent lifting of the arms in the backswing and the steep chop in the downswing.
Tom
@@SagutoGolfI was scrolling through the comments to see if someone else asked about this before I did. Glad to see not just me that was curious about it.
Saguto Dude. This works. Practised this on the course today. The iron striking was CRISPY. It works. Do you have any cool tips for the driver?
I'm glad this worked well for you, Skinner Dude!! 😎
it’s essentially the same swing with every club; just some minor setup differences and naturally occurring shaft plane changes as we graduate up in club length from short irons to woods. (In fact, here is a video of Stack and Tilt co-founder Mike Bennett hitting the driver: ruclips.net/video/7fmtzyH3rsA/видео.html. It looks very similar to his iron swing, right?: ruclips.net/video/SLjwU_1Cc7o/видео.html ) If you do a search on this channel you'll see some content on the driver and fairway woods. Upon learning this swing properly you will be harnessing the tremendous power source known as "angular momentum". This is the reason my students and online school members of all age ranges end up bombing it farther than they ever had previously.

STRRRR-IKE! 2 from 2 already, Tom. 2nd tip, 2nd day at the range and another successful outcome - crispy irons flying straight and high every time (after the expected initial misfires). Chicken dinner tonight, fella!
Well done, Tony!! Keep up the great work and enjoy that tasty crispiness!!!
Tom
Took this feel to the course and the biggest difference was with my long irons, hybrids and driver!!! not a slice in sight just a perfect draw around the tree on the 18th..........thanks Tom
Well done, @steves_hawks - I'm glad this lesson resonated well with you!!
Keep up the great work and enjoy your new ball flight!!
Tom
I am seriously thinking about coming to your state and get some one on one golf lesson from. Because you’re that good!🤔
I appreciate your kind words and would be glad to see you for a lesson if you're able to make your way to SC! Just be sure to schedule it several weeks ahead as my limited number of available lesson slots tend to book up well in advance.

Hey Tom, did this exact thing and implemented it today. I was pureeing my irons and hitting greens. This works as advertised! Driver.........well, lets not get into that right now.

Tom, I think the Hogan Magic elbow helps get that feel of low takeaway. Thx Tom for your help
Yes indeed, Jason! Hogan's elbow works its "magic" in a variety of ways throughout the swing!!
Nice catch!!
Tom
Bro you crack me up…another great lesson….👍👊✌️
Thanks! Glad you're enjoying my instruction content and style, Timmy!!
@@SagutoGolf you make the lesson fun, you’re goofy like me in a way so it makes the lesson fun and the jokes remind me to keep golf fun. Luv your style and did subscribe. Keep the side burns bro…lol…🤙✌️
Thanks Timmy!!!
Tom, your lessons are so succinct and amazingly easy to follow. For this shot though, from 6:42 to 6:46 when you're "making up for the last one", it looks like your backswing is under the stick but your foreswing goes up and over it when it comes down on the ball; but you still make a sick strike. Is that intentional for a reason I didn't catch in this vid or another? Can you show more in-depth slo-mo versions of these swing paths?
I'm glad you are enjoying my instruction content, Michael!
Yes - nice catch! To the keener eyes such as yours this has to be understood as a bit of a "do as I say, not as I do" thing. My miss tends to be too much in-to-out, thus imparting too much draw spin on the ball. This is why I personally execute the drill with a downswing plane slightly above the backswing.

@@SagutoGolf Awesome! Thank you for the clarification! ... The Janitor, I love it lol
This guy is my new favourite teacher.
Welcome to "the dark side", Vincent, where the spoils of "conventional" instruction - chronic inconsistency, physical pain, and endless frustration - yield to the fruits of effortless and body-friendly enjoyment of this great game for a lifetime. 😆
I'm very glad to have you on board!!
Cheers!
Tom
@@SagutoGolf You’re a very effective golf teacher. Keep up the great work!
This is a game changer for most amateurs. Stops lifting of the arms and disconnection. You are not as flat as you think you are. Swim around the belt line and to the inside...without yanking the club head way inside from the start. I wassceotical,but so much momentum indirection of travel.
You are absolutely correct, Gordon. What feels like the "belt line" to most folks who have been accustomed to shifting and lifting their entire golfing lives is more likely going to be closer to the shoulder line. "Feel vs. Real"! And the angular momentum we are able to harness from creating that depth is a tremendous and effortless power source!
Thanks for your comment!
Tom
I don't really comment on videos but I tried this waist high technique ,all I can say there are ALOT of good golf swings in this technique

Good advice,striking it great :)
Wow, something I’ve done on the range by chance a couple times. Worked great but thought I was working on the wrong thing based on what I was taught by others so went back to my crappy old miserable swing. Oh the years I’ve wasted of my golfing life. My planters fasciitis is killing me but I’m going to take Motrin till my stomach bleeds to get back out there tomorrow!
I sucked at golf my whole life. And now I'm very good. That's what Tom's instruction did for me.
I love simplicity and results, Ken, and your comment exudes both....😎
Thanks so much for sharing your improvement and keep up the great work!!!
Tom
You're rite about the feedback, It's the breakfast of champions. Should I practice this with a 6 iron ?
Your choice on club selection, @Jred Hamilton, though I wouldn't recommend starting with anything longer than a 6 iron.
I hope this works well for you!!
TS
Best tip ever!! Wow that works!!!
Thanks John - I'm glad this episode resonated well with you!!
Tom
Today was extra crispy using your tip. Thanks again!!
I moved to this style of swing. I just can’t reliably do the upright and rerouting modern swing stuff. This one works well for me anyway because I am bit of a weight lifter. I can just turn into it. Thanks for stopping my shank and steep downswing.

hahahahaha the beginning. I've said these many years ago, but now picking up the game again and trying to be better than those days, I hope to study more, practice more before starting the play on the course again. but old people are more patient now :)

By the way, you may be interested to know that a significant percentage of my online school members are in their 60's, 70's, and 80's - i.e.: a smorgasbord of chronic ailments, physical limitations, back/shoulder/knee/hip pain, arthritis, and joint replacements - and they are overwhelmingly elated to experience the dramatic pain-free game improvement, seemingly effortless power, and resulting enjoyment that this swing affords them. It all begins with a proper setup which provides for a free-flowing motion. Upon that good foundation a repeatable swing which produces consistently crispy impact can be built.

You don't need the flexibility of a Romanian gymnast - or even of this far less pliable golf instructor - to execute this swing, experience great ball striking, and reclaim - or even exceed - yardages from years past. I hope you'll give the school some thought.
Have fun out there...patiently!! 😎
Tom
Great vid Tom, thanks!
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it!!
Tom
In your practice swing you go under the stick in back and downswing but when you hit the ball (In a frame by frame) you go under the stick on the backswing and over the stick on the downswing. Please explain which is correct.
Feel vs real. But the key is not lifting the arms in the backswing.
Great lesson Tom but wishing you would have addressed the hand path at and after impact ie swinging left and maintaining left arm connection! Great lesson and funny too!🙏
Glad you enjoyed it!
