It was a very difficult business decision. I just couldn't maintain both anymore, and ultimately it came down to career vs. hobby. Having said that, my guitar membership program is still active, and there’s plenty of great Skynyrd content in there! Here’s the link if interested: saguto.golf/p/tom-s-rockin-guitar-membership Rock on! Tom
I see that a lot of golfers are improving by 10+ strokes, 100’s to 90’s to 80’s, but the goal of shooting near par or better will require practice time on the short game, pitching, chipping, bunker, & putting. ⛳️ After changing this year to the S&T, I can spend more time on my short game practice without the concern of losing my long game edge! 👍
You're spot on with that comment, Thomas! A reliable short game is an absolute necessity if we expect to be consistently in the 70's (or below)!! I'm very glad to know that you've got your S&T swing dialed in and are reaping its low-maintenance benefits so you can focus on the finer aspects of the scoring game. Well done!! Tom
Your golf lessons is a diamond, I was so stubborn about my golf swing but when I tried your method yesterday, just after 10 swings, I AM NOW A BELIEVER of what you teach hear. I never hit my irons and driver more crispier than before. I just need to keep on practicing then bring this new found technique to the golf course. Thank you so much Tom, the golf gods sent you to redeem the golf swings for the weekend warrior like me. More power and more followers.
And so we say..... Welcome to "the dark side", Art, 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. 😆 Seriously, I sincerely 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 the lesson content, incorporating it into your swing, and taking ownership of it!! Thanks for sharing your success, keep up the great work, and have fun out there in the weekend warrior trenches!! Tom
That's fantastic, Christopher, and thanks so much for sharing your success with the online school! Keep up the great work, stay crispy, and have fun out there with that pretty push-draws ball flight!! Tom
Took your advice and tips on hitting my irons today and played awesomely. My iron shots were straight and long.... now I have to adjust distances I normally hit a club, because the ball is going so much further. You made golf fun for me..... although my partner is a disaster and refuses to take any advice from anyone. Thanks again
Sorry for your troubles in having to refigure your yardages.... 😂 As mentioned in reply to your other comment, your chopaholic partner will eventually end up begging for some of what you've got - it's just a matter of time..... Keep up the great work and have fun out there! Tom
@Sagutogolf I love your tips since I’ve started watching your videos I strip the ball, you have made golf so easy. I finally got my hole in one!! N been super close a few times on getting another one!! What is so awsome is if my brother hits a 7 iron I hit my 8 iron same distance as his 7 lol. He hates it that I out drive him and hit beautiful draws with every club. I now cannot hit a slice r a fade it’s super laser straight r a beautiful draw all thanks to you. People would always invite to golf because it was a easy win and I made them look great but now no one calls me to play golf with them because I literally beat them by 8-10 strokes. My best score to date is 9 birdies 1 eagle rest pars no bogeys -11 under in one round!!! I was on fire that day!! My average is -4 to -6 under per round. It’s a small course par 62. I just wanted to thank you again you made golf super easy for me I now have a birdie putt on every hole!! And to think I was gonna stop playing for good and I came across your channel and it’s been a crazy journey!! Thank you 🙏
I started golfing a few years ago. When I was fresh and my mind uncluttered I did alright for a beginner. This season, as I tried to improve, everything went south. My mind became a second-rate storage facility, clogged with detritus. On my league nights every shot was a repellant embarrassment. I could barely hit the ball, mining deep into the Earth's mantle, scalping the unfortunate ball, sending shots wildly to the right into the welcoming arms of the deep forest. I spent hours and hours hitting balls, watching videos, torturing my mind and body with complex equations and physics experiments. I got worse. I discovered Tom's videos a couple of weeks ago. This particular video was served up to me this morning like a stack of delicious hotcakes covered in butter and that fancy boutique maple syrup that costs like 12 bucks a bottle. I watched it and went out into the yard to put it's practical simplicity to the test. Immediate results. Zen. Satori. The ball went up and out and on target exactly as prescribed. Endorphins flooded my brain and my life achieved meaning and value. Thank you Tom, more than you can know.
"Because life is too short to play bad golf....." I knew I coined that phrase for a reason, and you - @Asphalt_Milkshake - have just validated it.... 😂😂 Now, go forth uncluttered and endorphin-loaded, your new Stack (of delicious hotcakes) and Tilt (as in tilted bottle of fancy boutique maple syrup drizzling over the aforementioned) serving of ball striking bliss abundantly filling your void with the meaning and value you craved whilst you ride that overinflated league handicap until it can't be rode no more..... Well done, and thanks for the most entertaining post!! Tom
Hey Tom, started working on this along with the weight shift a few weeks ago and have seen my scores go from mid-80’s to high 70’s. Love it! Makes golf fun at 65!!
FUN is ultimately what this is all about, Gene, and I'm very glad to know that my channel's instruction content is helping you to have some! Keep up the great work!! Tom
this is money, went to the range and had an awesome session hitting some of the best shots ever today. Thanks Tom for breaking it down so simply for us, it works like a charm!
I'm glad to know that this lesson resonated so well with you, Wyatt! Nice job incorporating it into your swing so quickly! Now, if you think *_this_* was "money", then perhaps sometime soon I'll see you enrolled in the SagutoGolf online school?? That's where the big bucks can be found.....for just $10 US/month or $99 US/year! 😎 Thanks for sharing your success, keep up the great work, and have fun out there!! Tom
Had the same experience the other day. I've never hit so many quality irons in my life...just need more reps before I take it to the course. I feel like a new man!
I am a subscriber to Saguto Gof (and I am not his PR agent), and let me tell you that my game has improved by leaps and bounds just following Tom’s simple instructions. Earlier my mind was cluttered with a zillion swing thoughts but now all I tell myself is keep the chest on the ball and weight on the left leg, tilt-and-turn. Simple. Extension happens automatically. It’s simple and easy. None of the technical jargon like “shallowing” or “weight transfer” which would drive me nuts. Makes golf so much fun and relaxing. Thanks Tom. You have got joy back in my golf game.
Hi Sanjay, Thanks so much for your kind words regarding my channel's content and your testimonial for the online school!! I'm very glad to know that you are benefiting from the instruction, and more importantly that it has increased your enjoyment of this great game as that is ultimately what this is all about. I did my best to price the school at a "no-brainer" level given the quality and quantity of the delivered product, and I truly appreciate you recognizing that and taking the time to "shout it from the rooftop"!! Keep up the great work and keep having fun out there!! Tom
Finally, the downswing … Tilt, Turn and Extend 👍🏻 THEN Tilt, Turn & Extend the other way!!! 👏🏻 Yay! Thanks, Tom 🙏🏻 If they don’t get it now, they won’t ever get it.
Wow! Never had the swing explained like that. Genius and so easy to understand! I can see my handicap getting much lower here real soon. The game is fun again. Thanks Tom! 😊
Thanks David - I'm very glad to know that my instruction is resonating well with you, and I'm thrilled for your increased enjoyment of this great game!! Keep it crispy and keep having fun out there!! TS
I have quit golf twice from being a 9 h'cper - I am now a transitioning hacker or dysfunctional hooking flipper hitting 100. In only 3 weeks of S&T my ball striking is so much better and that is thanks to you Tom. My right hand still refused to stop a flip so now I imagine the "right hand has to stay under the left until impact" - this is feel not real. The S&T swing is so easy after your repetitious training that this allows that single swing thought - your best vids for me were Palmer - point the shoulder / defining 3 circles (head shoulders and arc) / and the 2 vids where u go through the swing throwing away all old things (one was banging the bin lids together lol). TYVM. Keep up the zaniness :D
Hi Billy, I appreciate your kind words, and I am very glad to know that you are benefiting from my channel's instruction content and enjoying the game again!!

Thanks again for your comment and keep up the great work!! Tom
this is where i was mistaken with the "tilt" tom i thought the tilt was the forward to address the ball, now it ALLmakes sense and it works so damn well, my only initial move is the left knee forward `loaded` tom, that one move sets off the chain reaction ! hips rotate open as you turn, allowing more turn in the shoulders,,then your flat wrist,then how you initiate the downswing `pull` in your left shoulder towards the target, !! its pure brilliance ! it repeats so easily thankyou for the missing link see ,,i do listen between tucks of laughter, i owe you tom saguto 😇👍
I'm glad this connected the dots for you, William!! The forward angling of the upper body towards the ground at address establishes our relationship with the ball. The side tilt motion - combined with turning and extending - is what enables us to preserve that relationship throughout the swing. So you were not really wrong in many respects; you just needed the additional clarification. And now - based on your description - you've got it!!! Well done and well stated!! Tom
Thanks Matthew!! I hope you enjoyed the holiday as well!! I do have a number of videos on this channel where I've used a shot tracer. Here are a few of them: - ruclips.net/video/cVggUORbs5I/видео.html - ruclips.net/video/UnOMjaDl3fE/видео.html - ruclips.net/video/NthJA6TTZpo/видео.html - ruclips.net/video/CSAvOMD7m_A/видео.html Cheers! Tom
The best teacher on the internet is Saguto. He absolutely fixed me. I am now a real 12 handicap and enjoying the game again. Not bad for a 60 year old guy.
Thanks, @Boone_Docker - I truly appreciate your kind words and support, and I'm very glad to learn of your improvement through my instruction!! Keep up the great work and have fun out there!! Tom
Tom, Love you swing and all your videos. Could you please post a video or two of older golfers (70’s) that are able to master this very strong looking, athletic swing style. I want to embrace the simplicity of the whole concept….but need some inspiration of seeing older golfers performing these moves. Thank you🤗
I'm glad you are enjoying my content, Dave! Here is a video featuring a 91 year old student who shot his age: ruclips.net/video/SKxjKtgl29M/видео.html A significant percentage of my students and 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, 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. Should you wish to give this swing a fair shot by learning it properly, please consider enrolling in my online school. For just $99 US/year you'll have unlimited access to a comprehensive members-only learning system for the full swing and much more.

Member of SagutoGolf - his online course has eliminated my slice. This tilt, turn and extend is golden! It took me a while to get the extension part (still working on it) but it's the key to easy distance. If you can do all three consistently, this game becomes very enjoyable! Thank you, Tom.
Extension is typically the more difficult of the Big Three motions to ingrain, but once we get that down the swing essentially goes into autopilot and - like you say - compression and distance become seemingly effortless! I'm glad you are enjoying the online school, Mike, and I truly appreciate your support! Keep up the great work and have fun out there!! Tom
Welcome aboard, @Bazza_Golf!! I look forward to hearing from you regularly in the 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
@@SagutoGolf happy to do so! I also have created a RUclips channel Chronicling my progress and applying everything i am learning from you Tom and putting it into practice… so far.. in just a couple of months.. i think things are looking good!!! Practice make better and im looking forward to all of those first milestones!
Who says you can't teach an Old Fox new tricks..... 😂😂😂 Nicely done. I'm very glad to know that this lesson resonated so well with you!! Keep up the great work and have fun out there! Tom
I watched this video on Tuesday and implemented this technique on Wednesday. I normally shoot upper 80s. I shot an 82 first time on the course with this. It simply works! Hit the ball more crisp and increased my distance by a club. Thanks Tom!
A significant percentage of my students and 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, 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. We start with the setup in which both feet are flared out approximately 20 degrees, and the knees similarly angled outward. This orientation provides for an unrestricted 45 degrees of tilted hip turn, at which point we only need to add another 45 degrees of shoulder turn for a full 90 degrees. The result is a centered, stress-free, flowing motion back and through, and a very body-friendly, consistent, powerful swing.

I’m signing up for 2 reasons. #1: Mental Health Facility comment 🤣. #2: I haven’t worked on any of this yet and played 9 today. Tried the “point lead shoulder to the ground” on my first long iron and hit it dead straight. You have a fan and a customer, sir!
And so we here in the "padded cell" can now proclaim.... Welcome to "the dark side", Russ, 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!! Just a little bit of preliminary advice as you get started: 1) It is crucial to take sufficient time to master the fundamental components of the first couple of chapters! I cannot emphasize this enough, as frustrations predominantly occur when a student jumps ahead in the curriculum without properly dedicating himself/herself to the foundational base upon which our consistently repeatable, powerful, low maintenance swing must be built. Please have a look at this introductory video if you have not already done so: saguto.golf/courses/1166020/lectures/30347767. 2) 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 Golf Swing Simplified 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 the somewhat abbreviated swing it provides on the course and play quite well with it! 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! 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. 4) Finally, please migrate over to the new “Office Hours” forum - which is included in your online school membership - and begin engaging with other golfers in the SagutoGolf community. 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 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! I look forward to hearing from you regularly in the 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! Thanks for your message and have fun out there!! Tom
All great tips another point that has really helped me and added a boat load of speeds learning the internal rotation of the trail knee and using the ground on the front leg and extending up and it magically returns the clubface to impact position with a great amount of speed. You can control clubface / low point/ and swingpath
First day at the range I used these techniques and I honest have never hit thw ball so well , 150 in I might of missed 2 of 50 big greens I was aiming at Next day went golfing with higher hopes than normal , I was not thinking tilt and just the expand and shoulder turn , I've never played so badly lol other than driver and putting it was bad His teaching works well but you need all there for sure lol and the tilt is by far the #1 tool in this swing
Hi Eli, There has been quite a bit of dialogue in the Members' Forum of my online school on the topic of how to transport "Ranger Rick" to the golf course. We all experience that! All I can tell you is that it is part of the process, and if your practice mode is delivering consistently solid results then it's just a function of time in terms of when/how that will translate itself to the course. As confidence in your swing grows you should find more and more that you are playing "golf" instead of "golf swing" on the course, at which point your mechanical thoughts will be reduced to one or two at the most, and you will be nearly entirely focused on your target and not your swing. An excellent book that may help you with this is "Fearless Golf: Conquering the Mental Game" by Dr. Gio Valiante. Beyond that, I'd love to see you in the online school, where so many folks across the globe are now playing the best golf of their lives as a result.

That's what we're striving for, Mark here, so I'm glad to know that this episode fired on both cylinders!.... Thanks for your support - I'm glad you enjoyed it!! Tom
Watched a ton of your vids, honestly this 3 motion thing confused me. You've described it better. I like drop your left shoulder to the ball...done. Thanks for all your help it improved my game!
Hi Howard, I'm very glad to learn of your improvement through my instruction content. I do my best to convey different "feels" or thoughts throughout the swing wherever possible because we're all unique physiologically and psychologically, and something that resonates effectively with me may not necessarily work for you. Furthermore, a feel or thought that performs well for you this week may run its course or get overdone and not play out so nicely next week, so it's good to have alternates to call upon if needed. The key takeaway here is that no matter the variety of suggested feels/thoughts offered for a particular element of the swing, they are all directed at getting different golfers to achieve the same desired motion or position. (It's like a multiple choice test with no wrong answer!) Beyond that, it is important to understand that the videos, lessons, and drills on this free channel - while fully aligned with the swing method I teach - address a variety of topics, issues, feels, and/or common flaws/fixes from one episode to the next. They are certainly not intended to be taken as a sequential learning platform like the structured curriculum of my online school, which I strongly recommend to anyone who truly wishes to get on the proper path towards owning this swing. 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 layout 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, interact with others in the SagutoGolf community, and suggest new content ideas, plus you'll also have access to all exclusive RUclips paid channel members-only content at no additional charge.

Love this lesson! Am wondering why you hold the club off in the finish and don't release. Whatever the reason this has really helped me and I am grateful for what you do.
Hi George - I'm glad to know that you are benefiting from my instruction! I am not consciously "holding the club off" - I'm simply not flipping or rolling the hands through impact, which unless perfectly timed leads to inconsistency and generally poor results.

I dashed out to the range today after I watched this and realizing that I never tilted towards the target. I’m a beginner with a tough time hitting the ground consistently. Tilting was the solution!! My consistency in hitting the ball properly probably jumped 150%!
Well done, @lloydman!! Tilting is something that every good player does, and I'm glad to know that you have come to understand this early in your golfing life!!

Understood, Terry. It can certainly take a bit of time and properly applied effort to successfully ingrain some of these motions - especially if you are transitioning from a "shift and lift" method - but given the low-maintenance, consistency, effortless power, and body-friendly features of the Stack and Tilt swing it is definitely worth it!

Been using/practising stack and tilt for the last few months and my handicap has gone from 19 to 12. Thanks alot for your insight. Never hit my irons so high, and consistently solid. With the longer clubs im still getting big pushes though 😭

Great video I found my foot and leg work was bad. Now I can do what you just talked about by controlling my hips, leg and knee bend. The body set up is like a bent index finger profile and you want to keep that profile shape from down the line through the swing. You do not want the bent finger turning and looking at you or rotating away on impact. Feel free to use the Mr Index or Pinky example Love your teacher style, so fresh and attention grabbing. Stack and tilt rocks, went from 95 to 85 in 2 weeks. Crispy Creme contact and post ball divots. Milk n honey
Yes - and since our bodies are not designed to turn when the spine is in flexion, "extension" is the critical component necessary to free us up so we can keep our relationship to the ball intact. I'm very glad to know that my channel's instruction content is resonating well with you. Thanks very much for your kind words, keep up the great work, and have fun out there!! Tom
Great video as usual Tom! I watched it in slow motion and it looks to me that you are using the Sit Down move to start the downswing. Looks like your both knees go down and then up towards the target. I may be wrong but need clarification! By the way, I am learning a lot from your lessons on Saguto Golf.
I'm glad you enjoyed it, Rajan! There's some detail in the Downswing chapter of the S&T book regarding the move you are referring to. As you observe, the trail knee regains its flex early in the downswing and then extends through impact, but this is a result of the properly sequenced motions and not a conscious "sit down" move Cheers! Tom
Hi Tom amazing videos. I just was wondering are these three swing dynamics consistent with alot if the Hogan like swing dynamics, or a departure. I love all the Hogan references you make and explain in some if your other videos etc.
Great video! I’m a member of your site, wondering how often you post new videos like this on the member site? The one small comment, you made about getting back into flexion on the downswing after tilting turning and extending on the backswing while keeping the upper arm against the body makes it much easier to get through the ball, I think that was the missing link for me. I was trying to tilt, turn and extend the opposite way on the downswing and I felt like I was throwing the club head a little bit, but I know we have to tilt, turn and extend at the same time to keep our head still, so how exactly does the idea of getting back into flex on the downswing fit in? I guess I just want to clarify that when you tilt and turn on the downswing it accomplishes getting back into flexion, correct?
Hi Robert, The content and detail in the online school is far more robust than what you will find here on the channel. You'll occasionally get some tasty nuggets and perhaps fill in some gaps with these channel episodes to be sure, but really you've just got to know where to look in the school and also be on the lookout for each new weekly member video release, such as this recent KFC Club lesson on the topic of extension through impact: saguto.golf/courses/1158972/lectures/32868570 By the way, I hope to see you participating in the online school community Forum - which is included in your membership - where you can begin engaging with other golfers in the school. 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 and banter of golfers from around the world seeking to improve their games and help others to do the same. 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! Cheers! Tom
Tom, I am a member of your golf school but I have one important question. Is your golf swing a result of having the body motion produce the arm movement or visa versa? I have to believe it is the former. Also, I have found that I need very relaxed arms with very little tension in the wrists to produce great hinging at the top and through impact. What do you think?
Glad you enjoyed it, @TSC! While online school members do enjoy a discount, you can submit videos to me for a V1 Analysis even as a non-member. This is an effective and inexpensive service that I highly recommend. 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 Now, 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. So many folks across the globe are now playing the best golf of their lives as a result. As an enrolled member you'll enjoy: - Unlimited access to comprehensive members-only systems for the full swing. - Short game courses: Chipping, Pitching, Bunker play, Putting. - Simplified, succinct, step-by-step lessons and drills designed to put you on an accelerated path towards learning everything in a well-organized, self-guided fashion. - Detailed troubleshooting diagnostic videos and fixes for a variety of common swing issues. - Power & Distance course. - Shot-Shaping Grid course. - Ball Flight Fixes course. - Indoor Training Program. - The quick-start “Get Out and Go Play” program. - A Members' Forum where you can ask specific swing-related questions, interact with others in the SagutoGolf community, and suggest new content ideas. - Access to all exclusive paid RUclips channel members-only content at no additional charge. - As mentioned above, discounted rate on my V1 Swing Video Analysis service. - Ongoing additions of new content.

Hi Tom, is it fair to say that the hips going towards the target at the start of the downswing could be described as a slide or am I incorrect in thinking this? Many Thanks, great video!
Hi Patrick, Oftentimes when golfers are hitting everything well except for the longer clubs it can be attributed to one of the following: 1) They don't start with - or maintain - enough weight on the front side. In general with the longer clubs we should add a little more front weight load at address - more like 60/40 instead of the 55/45 prescribed for the other clubs. This forward weight should gradually increase to the top of the backswing (70/30) and build further on the downswing - approximately 80/20 halfway down, 90/10 impact, and 95/5 finish. 2) Their hips are not continuing their lateral slide through impact. This is common with the longer clubs as the wider stance means that the hips have a greater distance to travel. If the hips stop moving laterally towards the target on the downswing then their rotation takes over, changing the low point and rerouting the club. This can produce a variety of undesirable results including fat and thin contact, topped shots and popups, straight pulls, and “banana” slices. 3) They are not allowing the length of the club to dictate the backswing path and are getting too steep as a result. The shaft length of the longer clubs encourages more of an around the body backswing as established by the shaft plane at address. It may "feel" flat as you take it back along the shaft plane for the first few feet, but as long as you maintain the "weight forward, shoulder down, and hands in" components while allowing the club to work around you, it should put you in the proper position at the top so you can attack the ball from the inside.

@@SagutoGolf Dude... dontcha know that’s the euro secret sauce! Golf in the Kingdom in Krakow-City of Kings-is waiting for you to grace us with your zaniness‼️
In this video you said use the shoulder to initiate the downswing, but on your other video you said to initiate the left hip lateral movement... can you please clarify? thanks.
Sure, Abe. I do my best to convey multiple “feels” or thoughts throughout the swing wherever possible. We're all different physiologically and psychologically, and something that resonates effectively with one golfer may not necessarily work for another. However, no matter the variety of suggested feels/thoughts offered for a particular element of the swing, they are all directed at getting different golfers to achieve the desired positions, motions, and results. This is why I routinely recommend the online school to anyone who truly wishes to experience the joys of consistent, powerful, body-friendly ball striking bliss. It makes for a far more efficient, superior, and enjoyable learning process rather than haphazardly trying to piece things together through these channel videos that jump around randomly from topic to topic. The sequential lessons and drills provide the guidelines and set the boundaries, while allowing ample leeway for each individual golfer to infuse and exercise their own uniqueness. Would you like to learn some key aspects of the swing I teach in a more structured manner? If so, 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 - including many accomplished, low-handicap, competitive players and spanning all age ranges from junior to super-senior - enjoying the best golf of their lives: saguto.golf/p/sagutogolfreviews Tom
LOL! It's rather impressive that you are able to process that many and still advance the ball...... 🙄😆 If you're ever interested in reducing that to maybe one or two at the most, then perhaps you might 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. Additionally, you'll find all my short game content (putting, chipping, pitching, bunker play), advanced level courses on shot shaping and power/distance, diagnostic and corrective tools for resolving common swing, contact, and ball flight issues, and much more there.

Any chance you could explain the down swing? Are you letting the club drop downward into the slot using only gravity, or are you applying force thereby thrusting the club downward? Not asking about the throwing the club to target, I’m asking about the very first downward drop. I know you’ve talked about a gravity drop but that doesn’t seem to produce all that much “snap or catapult”.

While you do have some leeway, Roger, in general once my students and members show some level of proficiency with the swing I suggest that they migrate to a stock ball position that is in the middle of the stance for short irons, two balls inside the lead heel for middle irons, and creeping more forward for the longer clubs - the farthest forward being even with the inside of the lead heel for the driver (with the stance width increasing as we move from shorter to longer clubs). From there they can make incremental tweaks to see how different positions affect impact quality and shot shape. For example, my personal preference for the shorter clubs tends to be a position that is slightly forward of prescribed.

Hi Donald, The Stack & Tilt swing is a very body-friendly method. For me this is supported by my personal experience as a player and furthered by the fact that the majority of my students are in their 60's, 70's, and 80's - i.e.: a smorgasbord of chronic ailments, physical limitations, back/shoulder/knee/hip pain, 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.

Im getting the concept, practice on the range very good, on the course not so good, nothing is flat about our fairways so I seem to be a different angle with each approach shot and therefore some of my directions are quite off line. My drives are not as far as before s@t so what do I do?

I just noticed that your arms are mirrored at the top of the backswing and the finish. Left arm across the body at the top of the backswing and right arm across the body at the finish. Hmmmm
Ah yes, @Shane_Deel... The dark side of golf. Evil swing sorcery. The cult that is quietly, surreptitiously gathering lost swings from the vast purgatorial abyss of failed "conventional" instruction and leading them to the way and the truth of a method rooted in the unchanging principles of physics and geometry. Creating heinously horrifying creatures of repeatability, predictable ball flight, and effortless power. Like a hideous and unstoppable amoeba slowly yet steadily consuming the golfing globe. Resistance is futile; you will be assimilated.

Sadly, @Shane_Deel, many misconstrued and/or misguided "established" teachings - such as turning the shoulders level while independently lifting the club, shifting into- and torquing against - a firm trail side, actively rolling the hands through impact, etc. - have relegated generations of golfers to the vast abyss of chronic frustration (and chronic back/knee/hip pain as well). I mean, isn't it interesting - and sad - that with all the advances in equipment, technology, golf course grooming, etc. the average golfer still can't break 100?? Epic failures within the realm of “conventional” instruction, perhaps???We're doing our best here to clear these up one by one and put an end to this madness!

By enrolling in the school you have now entered the KFC buffet line. Work the program as designed, put in the appropriate time with the various sequential drills, schedule the occasional V1 Analysis (at least quarterly for maintenance, and as-needed when issues arise), and you'll have unlimited plates of extra crisp ball striking bliss to satisfy your appetite!!
It's impossible for me. I'm about to give up. I cannot hit the ball; I come from tennis, I don't understand how can I be so bad in golf. I keep my head in place, I tilt, I turn, I keep my arm straight, but downswing arrives, and I hit badly the ground, or the top of the ball, it's a disaster.
Francisco, Coming from tennis your body should already be accustomed to many of the components of this swing; it is just a matter of properly integrating them. For this reason, as I mentioned in a previous reply to you the online school - perhaps supplemented by an occasional V1Swing Video Analysis - is the most appropriate way for you to learn this. Cheers, Tom
I truly appreciate your support and online school testimonial, Ricky!! I was very glad to learn of your improvements from the comment you posted in the school. I hope to soon see you actively participating in the fabulous community that has sprung up within the new Members' Forum! Thanks again and keep up the great work!! Tm
Isn’t it more like knee flexion and knee extension instead of tilting? Tilting promotes a reverse pivot but if turn with the right movement in the knees then you remained balance as you clear the hips and turn your shoulders. I dunno…I just don’t like the choice of words here 😅

Second time ever hitting in 70's today 77 KFC Krispy Baby! Love the online school Tom.
Golf and guitar??? Where do I sign up?😅
I see that a lot of golfers are improving by 10+ strokes, 100’s to 90’s to 80’s, but the goal of shooting near par or better will require practice time on the short game, pitching, chipping, bunker, & putting. ⛳️ After changing this year to the S&T, I can spend more time on my short game practice without the concern of losing my long game edge! 👍
You're spot on with that comment, Thomas! A reliable short game is an absolute necessity if we expect to be consistently in the 70's (or below)!!
I'm very glad to know that you've got your S&T swing dialed in and are reaping its low-maintenance benefits so you can focus on the finer aspects of the scoring game. Well done!!
Tom
Your golf lessons is a diamond, I was so stubborn about my golf swing but when I tried your method yesterday, just after 10 swings, I AM NOW A BELIEVER of what you teach hear. I never hit my irons and driver more crispier than before. I just need to keep on practicing then bring this new found technique to the golf course. Thank you so much Tom, the golf gods sent you to redeem the golf swings for the weekend warrior like me. More power and more followers.
And so we say..... Welcome to "the dark side", Art, 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. 😆
Seriously, I sincerely 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 the lesson content, incorporating it into your swing, and taking ownership of it!!
Thanks for sharing your success, keep up the great work, and have fun out there in the weekend warrior trenches!!
Tom
I'm a member to SagutoGolf, I have hit a block right my whole golfing life with Tom's training I am now hitting consistent draws, thank you Tom!
That's fantastic, Christopher, and thanks so much for sharing your success with the online school!
Keep up the great work, stay crispy, and have fun out there with that pretty push-draws ball flight!!
Tom
Took your advice and tips on hitting my irons today and played awesomely. My iron shots were straight and long.... now I have to adjust distances I normally hit a club, because the ball is going so much further. You made golf fun for me..... although my partner is a disaster and refuses to take any advice from anyone. Thanks again
Sorry for your troubles in having to refigure your yardages.... 😂
As mentioned in reply to your other comment, your chopaholic partner will eventually end up begging for some of what you've got - it's just a matter of time.....
Keep up the great work and have fun out there!
Tom
@Sagutogolf I love your tips since I’ve started watching your videos I strip the ball, you have made golf so easy. I finally got my hole in one!! N been super close a few times on getting another one!! What is so awsome is if my brother hits a 7 iron I hit my 8 iron same distance as his 7 lol. He hates it that I out drive him and hit beautiful draws with every club. I now cannot hit a slice r a fade it’s super laser straight r a beautiful draw all thanks to you. People would always invite to golf because it was a easy win and I made them look great but now no one calls me to play golf with them because I literally beat them by 8-10 strokes. My best score to date is 9 birdies 1 eagle rest pars no bogeys -11 under in one round!!! I was on fire that day!! My average is -4 to -6 under per round. It’s a small course par 62. I just wanted to thank you again you made golf super easy for me I now have a birdie putt on every hole!! And to think I was gonna stop playing for good and I came across your channel and it’s been a crazy journey!! Thank you 🙏
I started golfing a few years ago. When I was fresh and my mind uncluttered I did alright for a beginner. This season, as I tried to improve, everything went south. My mind became a second-rate storage facility, clogged with detritus. On my league nights every shot was a repellant embarrassment. I could barely hit the ball, mining deep into the Earth's mantle, scalping the unfortunate ball, sending shots wildly to the right into the welcoming arms of the deep forest. I spent hours and hours hitting balls, watching videos, torturing my mind and body with complex equations and physics experiments. I got worse. I discovered Tom's videos a couple of weeks ago. This particular video was served up to me this morning like a stack of delicious hotcakes covered in butter and that fancy boutique maple syrup that costs like 12 bucks a bottle. I watched it and went out into the yard to put it's practical simplicity to the test. Immediate results. Zen. Satori. The ball went up and out and on target exactly as prescribed. Endorphins flooded my brain and my life achieved meaning and value. Thank you Tom, more than you can know.
"Because life is too short to play bad golf....." I knew I coined that phrase for a reason, and you - @Asphalt_Milkshake - have just validated it.... 😂😂
Now, go forth uncluttered and endorphin-loaded, your new Stack (of delicious hotcakes) and Tilt (as in tilted bottle of fancy boutique maple syrup drizzling over the aforementioned) serving of ball striking bliss abundantly filling your void with the meaning and value you craved whilst you ride that overinflated league handicap until it can't be rode no more.....
Well done, and thanks for the most entertaining post!!
Tom
Hey Tom, started working on this along with the weight shift a few weeks ago and have seen my scores go from mid-80’s to high 70’s. Love it! Makes golf fun at 65!!
FUN is ultimately what this is all about, Gene, and I'm very glad to know that my channel's instruction content is helping you to have some!
Keep up the great work!!
Tom
this is money, went to the range and had an awesome session hitting some of the best shots ever today. Thanks Tom for breaking it down so simply for us, it works like a charm!
I'm glad to know that this lesson resonated so well with you, Wyatt! Nice job incorporating it into your swing so quickly!
Now, if you think *_this_* was "money", then perhaps sometime soon I'll see you enrolled in the SagutoGolf online school?? That's where the big bucks can be found.....for just $10 US/month or $99 US/year! 😎
Thanks for sharing your success, keep up the great work, and have fun out there!!
Tom
Had the same experience the other day. I've never hit so many quality irons in my life...just need more reps before I take it to the course. I feel like a new man!
Best instruction on the internet!
Thanks - I sincerely appreciate that!!
TS
Tom is the best golf instructor on the Internet! Thanks Tom! ⛳️
I am a subscriber to Saguto Gof (and I am not his PR agent), and let me tell you that my game has improved by leaps and bounds just following Tom’s simple instructions.
Earlier my mind was cluttered with a zillion swing thoughts but now all I tell myself is keep the chest on the ball and weight on the left leg, tilt-and-turn. Simple. Extension happens automatically.
It’s simple and easy. None of the technical jargon like “shallowing” or “weight transfer” which would drive me nuts. Makes golf so much fun and relaxing.
Thanks Tom. You have got joy back in my golf game.
Hi Sanjay,
Thanks so much for your kind words regarding my channel's content and your testimonial for the online school!! I'm very glad to know that you are benefiting from the instruction, and more importantly that it has increased your enjoyment of this great game as that is ultimately what this is all about.
I did my best to price the school at a "no-brainer" level given the quality and quantity of the delivered product, and I truly appreciate you recognizing that and taking the time to "shout it from the rooftop"!!
Keep up the great work and keep having fun out there!!
Tom
I totally took this on board changed my thought process over the ball an continually shoot in the low 80s. Thanks Tom
Finally, the downswing
… Tilt, Turn and Extend 👍🏻
THEN Tilt, Turn & Extend
the other way!!! 👏🏻 Yay!
Thanks, Tom 🙏🏻
If they don’t get it now,
they won’t ever get it.
That’s it!!!
You said it, @Parski, not me..... (However, you're absolutely correct! 😎)
Simple. Intuitive. Fun AND game changing Video period!!
If teachers were like you man... not just golf.
Thanks so much!!
Wow! Never had the swing explained like that. Genius and so easy to understand! I can see my handicap getting much lower here real soon. The game is fun again. Thanks Tom! 😊
Thanks David - I'm very glad to know that my instruction is resonating well with you, and I'm thrilled for your increased enjoyment of this great game!!
Keep it crispy and keep having fun out there!!

I have quit golf twice from being a 9 h'cper - I am now a transitioning hacker or dysfunctional hooking flipper hitting 100. In only 3 weeks of S&T my ball striking is so much better and that is thanks to you Tom. My right hand still refused to stop a flip so now I imagine the "right hand has to stay under the left until impact" - this is feel not real. The S&T swing is so easy after your repetitious training that this allows that single swing thought - your best vids for me were Palmer - point the shoulder / defining 3 circles (head shoulders and arc) / and the 2 vids where u go through the swing throwing away all old things (one was banging the bin lids together lol). TYVM. Keep up the zaniness :D

Thanks again for your comment and keep up the great work!!
Tom
this is where i was mistaken with the "tilt" tom i thought the tilt was
the forward to address the ball, now it ALLmakes sense and it works
so damn well, my only initial move is the left knee forward `loaded` tom,
that one move sets off the chain reaction ! hips rotate open as you turn,
allowing more turn in the shoulders,,then your flat wrist,then how you
initiate the downswing `pull` in your left shoulder towards the target, !!
its pure brilliance ! it repeats so easily thankyou for the missing link
see ,,i do listen between tucks of laughter, i owe you tom saguto 😇👍
I'm glad this connected the dots for you, William!!
The forward angling of the upper body towards the ground at address establishes our relationship with the ball. The side tilt motion - combined with turning and extending - is what enables us to preserve that relationship throughout the swing. So you were not really wrong in many respects; you just needed the additional clarification. And now - based on your description - you've got it!!!
Well done and well stated!!
Tom
Thanks Tom, going to remember the point the shoulder to the ball tomorrow 👍 🏌️♀️
Sounds like a good plan, Marilyn. Have fun out there!!

Hi Tom-Don' know how I missed this video but it dovetails perfectly with some of the recent ones I've been watching. Much appreciated. Stay safe-Russ
Happy 4th Coach Saguto!! What are the chances we get some ball tracer to see your shots? And some track man data? I for one would love to see that.
Thanks Matthew!! I hope you enjoyed the holiday as well!!

This is really one of Tom’s best. Head still tilt turn extension away from then at the target 🎯
Tom, Love you swing and all your videos. Could you please post a video or two of older golfers (70’s) that are able to master this very strong looking, athletic swing style. I want to embrace the simplicity of the whole concept….but need some inspiration of seeing older golfers performing these moves.
Thank you🤗
I'm glad you are enjoying my content, Dave!

Thanks - I'm glad you enjoyed it!!

Member of SagutoGolf - his online course has eliminated my slice. This tilt, turn and extend is golden! It took me a while to get the extension part (still working on it) but it's the key to easy distance. If you can do all three consistently, this game becomes very enjoyable! Thank you, Tom.
Extension is typically the more difficult of the Big Three motions to ingrain, but once we get that down the swing essentially goes into autopilot and - like you say - compression and distance become seemingly effortless!
I'm glad you are enjoying the online school, Mike, and I truly appreciate your support!
Keep up the great work and have fun out there!!
Tom
Super T Thanks 🙏🏿

@@SagutoGolf happy to do so! I also have created a RUclips channel Chronicling my progress and applying everything i am learning from you Tom and putting it into practice… so far.. in just a couple of months.. i think things are looking good!!! Practice make better and im looking forward to all of those first milestones!
Put into action today, best ball striking for months, thanks Tom.
Who says you can't teach an Old Fox new tricks..... 😂😂😂
Nicely done. I'm very glad to know that this lesson resonated so well with you!!
Keep up the great work and have fun out there!

I watched this video on Tuesday and implemented this technique on Wednesday. I normally shoot upper 80s. I shot an 82 first time on the course with this. It simply works! Hit the ball more crisp and increased my distance by a club. Thanks Tom!
Love these videos Tom. I am part of your community. 😀
I appreciate that, Dan, and I'm very glad to have you onboard!!

I tried this today and it worked…. A perfect solution to my frustrations of late…. Let’s see how tomorrow’s championship will be🤗

Not sure I am flexible enough for all this, but my next trip to the range will tell the tale. Thanks.
A significant percentage of my students and 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, 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.
We start with the setup in which both feet are flared out approximately 20 degrees, and the knees similarly angled outward. This orientation provides for an unrestricted 45 degrees of tilted hip turn, at which point we only need to add another 45 degrees of shoulder turn for a full 90 degrees. The result is a centered, stress-free, flowing motion back and through, and a very body-friendly, consistent, powerful swing.

I’m signing up for 2 reasons. #1: Mental Health Facility comment 🤣. #2: I haven’t worked on any of this yet and played 9 today. Tried the “point lead shoulder to the ground” on my first long iron and hit it dead straight. You have a fan and a customer, sir!
And so we here in the "padded cell" can now proclaim.... Welcome to "the dark side", Russ, 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!!
Just a little bit of preliminary advice as you get started:
1) It is crucial to take sufficient time to master the fundamental components of the first couple of chapters! I cannot emphasize this enough, as frustrations predominantly occur when a student jumps ahead in the curriculum without properly dedicating himself/herself to the foundational base upon which our consistently repeatable, powerful, low maintenance swing must be built. Please have a look at this introductory video if you have not already done so: saguto.golf/courses/1166020/lectures/30347767.
2) 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 Golf Swing Simplified 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 the somewhat abbreviated swing it provides on the course and play quite well with it! 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!
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.
4) Finally, please migrate over to the new “Office Hours” forum - which is included in your online school membership - and begin engaging with other golfers in the SagutoGolf community. 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 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!
I look forward to hearing from you regularly in the 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!
Thanks for your message and have fun out there!!
Tom
All great tips another point that has really helped me and added a boat load of speeds learning the internal rotation of the trail knee and using the ground on the front leg and extending up and it magically returns the clubface to impact position with a great amount of speed. You can control clubface / low point/ and swingpath
The simple motion of the spine going from flexion to extension in the downswing surely delivers a tremendous power boost, Christopher. Nice job!!
Tom
@@SagutoGolf straight bombs with penatrating flight!
First day at the range I used these techniques and I honest have never hit thw ball so well , 150 in I might of missed 2 of 50 big greens I was aiming at
Next day went golfing with higher hopes than normal , I was not thinking tilt and just the expand and shoulder turn , I've never played so badly lol other than driver and putting it was bad
His teaching works well but you need all there for sure lol and the tilt is by far the #1 tool in this swing
Hi Eli,
There has been quite a bit of dialogue in the Members' Forum of my online school on the topic of how to transport "Ranger Rick" to the golf course. We all experience that! All I can tell you is that it is part of the process, and if your practice mode is delivering consistently solid results then it's just a function of time in terms of when/how that will translate itself to the course. As confidence in your swing grows you should find more and more that you are playing "golf" instead of "golf swing" on the course, at which point your mechanical thoughts will be reduced to one or two at the most, and you will be nearly entirely focused on your target and not your swing. An excellent book that may help you with this is "Fearless Golf: Conquering the Mental Game" by Dr. Gio Valiante.
Beyond that, I'd love to see you in the online school, where so many folks across the globe are now playing the best golf of their lives as a result. As an enrolled member you'll enjoy:

Watched a ton of your vids, honestly this 3 motion thing confused me. You've described it better. I like drop your left shoulder to the ball...done. Thanks for all your help it improved my game!
Hi Howard,
I'm very glad to learn of your improvement through my instruction content.
I do my best to convey different "feels" or thoughts throughout the swing wherever possible because we're all unique physiologically and psychologically, and something that resonates effectively with me may not necessarily work for you. Furthermore, a feel or thought that performs well for you this week may run its course or get overdone and not play out so nicely next week, so it's good to have alternates to call upon if needed. The key takeaway here is that no matter the variety of suggested feels/thoughts offered for a particular element of the swing, they are all directed at getting different golfers to achieve the same desired motion or position. (It's like a multiple choice test with no wrong answer!)
Beyond that, it is important to understand that the videos, lessons, and drills on this free channel - while fully aligned with the swing method I teach - address a variety of topics, issues, feels, and/or common flaws/fixes from one episode to the next. They are certainly not intended to be taken as a sequential learning platform like the structured curriculum of my online school, which I strongly recommend to anyone who truly wishes to get on the proper path towards owning this swing. 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 layout greatly simplifies the entire process through succinct, step-by-step videos, and I'm regularly adding new content.

Love this lesson! Am wondering why you hold the club off in the finish and don't release. Whatever the reason this has really helped me and I am grateful for what you do.
Hi George - I'm glad to know that you are benefiting from my instruction!
I am not consciously "holding the club off" - I'm simply not flipping or rolling the hands through impact, which unless perfectly timed leads to inconsistency and generally poor results. This previous channel video may help to clarify: ruclips.net/video/Fe2kQ44azJ4/видео.html. And here's another: ruclips.net/video/SunCR5uJ_ao/видео.html

Awesome bro. Best instructor on RUclips.
Thanks so much, Chad! I truly appreciate your kind words!!

I dashed out to the range today after I watched this and realizing that I never tilted towards the target. I’m a beginner with a tough time hitting the ground consistently. Tilting was the solution!! My consistency in hitting the ball properly probably jumped 150%!
Well done, @lloydman!! Tilting is something that every good player does, and I'm glad to know that you have come to understand this early in your golfing life!!

Noonan you can do it!
Excellent golf tips
Thanks Tom still trying to master this
Understood, Terry. It can certainly take a bit of time and properly applied effort to successfully ingrain some of these motions - especially if you are transitioning from a "shift and lift" method - but given the low-maintenance, consistency, effortless power, and body-friendly features of the Stack and Tilt swing it is definitely worth it!

Can't wait to see you in the premier - bring a golf club!
Been using/practising stack and tilt for the last few months and my handicap has gone from 19 to 12. Thanks alot for your insight. Never hit my irons so high, and consistently solid.
With the longer clubs im still getting big pushes though 😭

Just signed up last night!!! Cant wait to dive in
Great video
I found my foot and leg work was bad. Now I can do what you just talked about by controlling my hips, leg and knee bend. The body set up is like a bent index finger profile and you want to keep that profile shape from down the line through the swing. You do not want the bent finger turning and looking at you or rotating away on impact.
Feel free to use the Mr Index or Pinky example
Love your teacher style, so fresh and attention grabbing.
Stack and tilt rocks, went from 95 to 85 in 2 weeks. Crispy Creme contact and post ball divots. Milk n honey
Yes - and since our bodies are not designed to turn when the spine is in flexion, "extension" is the critical component necessary to free us up so we can keep our relationship to the ball intact.
I'm very glad to know that my channel's instruction content is resonating well with you. Thanks very much for your kind words, keep up the great work, and have fun out there!!
Tom
I'm ready, Tom...bring it on. )
I hope you enjoyed it, Dan!!
Tom
Great video as usual Tom! I watched it in slow motion and it looks to me that you are using the Sit Down move to start the downswing. Looks like your both knees go down and then up towards the target. I may be wrong but need clarification! By the way, I am learning a lot from your lessons on Saguto Golf.
I'm glad you enjoyed it, Rajan!
There's some detail in the Downswing chapter of the S&T book regarding the move you are referring to. As you observe, the trail knee regains its flex early in the downswing and then extends through impact, but this is a result of the properly sequenced motions and not a conscious "sit down" move
Cheers!
Tom
Great instruction!!

@@SagutoGolf 👍🥊💯
Hi Tom amazing videos. I just was wondering are these three swing dynamics consistent with alot if the Hogan like swing dynamics, or a departure. I love all the Hogan references you make and explain in some if your other videos etc.
You and your hair just saved my game! 😂
Me and my hair are pleased and teased, respectively.....😂
Great video! I’m a member of your site, wondering how often you post new videos like this on the member site? The one small comment, you made about getting back into flexion on the downswing after tilting turning and extending on the backswing while keeping the upper arm against the body makes it much easier to get through the ball, I think that was the missing link for me. I was trying to tilt, turn and extend the opposite way on the downswing and I felt like I was throwing the club head a little bit, but I know we have to tilt, turn and extend at the same time to keep our head still, so how exactly does the idea of getting back into flex on the downswing fit in? I guess I just want to clarify that when you tilt and turn on the downswing it accomplishes getting back into flexion, correct?
Hi Robert,
The content and detail in the online school is far more robust than what you will find here on the channel. You'll occasionally get some tasty nuggets and perhaps fill in some gaps with these channel episodes to be sure, but really you've just got to know where to look in the school and also be on the lookout for each new weekly member video release, such as this recent KFC Club lesson on the topic of extension through impact: saguto.golf/courses/1158972/lectures/32868570

Thanks Tom!
Tom, I am a member of your golf school but I have one important question. Is your golf swing a result of having the body motion produce the arm movement or visa versa? I have to believe it is the former. Also, I have found that I need very relaxed arms with very little tension in the wrists to produce great hinging at the top and through impact. What do you think?
Thanks bud.Tried this,heard Snap,Crackle,Pop.In that order.But l hit it good,so...
Sounds like "crispy" impact to me, Kenny. Rice Crispies, but crispy nonetheless.....😂
Great video Tom!!! When I join can I submit swing videos to you for analysis? Have a great Sunday!
Glad you enjoyed it, @TSC! While online school members do enjoy a discount, you can submit videos to me for a V1 Analysis even as a non-member. This is an effective and inexpensive service that I highly recommend. 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
Now, 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. So many folks across the globe are now playing the best golf of their lives as a result. As an enrolled member you'll enjoy:
- Unlimited access to comprehensive members-only systems for the full swing.

Hi Tom, is it fair to say that the hips going towards the target at the start of the downswing could be described as a slide or am I incorrect in thinking this? Many Thanks, great video!
Thanks tom, hitting the Irons so much better, Driver not so much.
Hi Patrick,
Oftentimes when golfers are hitting everything well except for the longer clubs it can be attributed to one of the following:
1) They don't start with - or maintain - enough weight on the front side. In general with the longer clubs we should add a little more front weight load at address - more like 60/40 instead of the 55/45 prescribed for the other clubs. This forward weight should gradually increase to the top of the backswing (70/30) and build further on the downswing - approximately 80/20 halfway down, 90/10 impact, and 95/5 finish.
2) Their hips are not continuing their lateral slide through impact. This is common with the longer clubs as the wider stance means that the hips have a greater distance to travel. If the hips stop moving laterally towards the target on the downswing then their rotation takes over, changing the low point and rerouting the club. This can produce a variety of undesirable results including fat and thin contact, topped shots and popups, straight pulls, and “banana” slices.
3) They are not allowing the length of the club to dictate the backswing path and are getting too steep as a result. The shaft length of the longer clubs encourages more of an around the body backswing as established by the shaft plane at address. It may "feel" flat as you take it back along the shaft plane for the first few feet, but as long as you maintain the "weight forward, shoulder down, and hands in" components while allowing the club to work around you, it should put you in the proper position at the top so you can attack the ball from the inside.

@@SagutoGolf Dude... dontcha know that’s the euro secret sauce! Golf in the Kingdom in Krakow-City of Kings-is waiting for you to grace us with your zaniness‼️
In this video you said use the shoulder to initiate the downswing, but on your other video you said to initiate the left hip lateral movement... can you please clarify? thanks.
Sure, Abe. I do my best to convey multiple “feels” or thoughts throughout the swing wherever possible. We're all different physiologically and psychologically, and something that resonates effectively with one golfer may not necessarily work for another. However, no matter the variety of suggested feels/thoughts offered for a particular element of the swing, they are all directed at getting different golfers to achieve the desired positions, motions, and results. This is why I routinely recommend the online school to anyone who truly wishes to experience the joys of consistent, powerful, body-friendly ball striking bliss. It makes for a far more efficient, superior, and enjoyable learning process rather than haphazardly trying to piece things together through these channel videos that jump around randomly from topic to topic. The sequential lessons and drills provide the guidelines and set the boundaries, while allowing ample leeway for each individual golfer to infuse and exercise their own uniqueness.
Would you like to learn some key aspects of the swing I teach in a more structured manner? If so, 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 - including many accomplished, low-handicap, competitive players and spanning all age ranges from junior to super-senior - enjoying the best golf of their lives: saguto.golf/p/sagutogolfreviews

That’s me, 15,000 swing thoughts
LOL! It's rather impressive that you are able to process that many and still advance the ball...... 🙄😆
If you're ever interested in reducing that to maybe one or two at the most, then perhaps you might 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. Additionally, you'll find all my short game content (putting, chipping, pitching, bunker play), advanced level courses on shot shaping and power/distance, diagnostic and corrective tools for resolving common swing, contact, and ball flight issues, and much more there.

What do you charge for three in person, 1 hour lessons Tom?
Is your backswing more of a P3 than a P4? if so it seems better lest chance of an overswing?
You need a lefty on your channel for those of us that hit on the 'wrong' side of the ball!!
Any chance you could explain the down swing? Are you letting the club drop downward into the slot using only gravity, or are you applying force thereby thrusting the club downward? Not asking about the throwing the club to target, I’m asking about the very first downward drop. I know you’ve talked about a gravity drop but that doesn’t seem to produce all that much “snap or catapult”.

I'm getting the concept but I find that I'm over drawing and occasionally snap hooking the ball can you do a lesson on the causes .
If you enter the word "hook" in the channel's search bar you should find some content that may help. Beyond that, it is important to understand that the videos, lessons, and drills on this free channel - while fully aligned with the swing method I teach - address a variety of topics, issues, feels, and/or common flaws/fixes from one episode to the next.

Hi Tom love the videos,but you never mention the ball position.
While you do have some leeway, Roger, in general once my students and members show some level of proficiency with the swing I suggest that they migrate to a stock ball position that is in the middle of the stance for short irons, two balls inside the lead heel for middle irons, and creeping more forward for the longer clubs - the farthest forward being even with the inside of the lead heel for the driver (with the stance width increasing as we move from shorter to longer clubs). From there they can make incremental tweaks to see how different positions affect impact quality and shot shape. For example, my personal preference for the shorter clubs tends to be a position that is slightly forward of prescribed.

Do these 3 swing motions apply in the same manner for older golfers with back issues and a loss of flexibility?
Hi Donald,
The Stack & Tilt swing is a very body-friendly method. For me this is supported by my personal experience as a player and furthered by the fact that the majority of my students are in their 60's, 70's, and 80's - i.e.: a smorgasbord of chronic ailments, physical limitations, back/shoulder/knee/hip pain, 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.

Im getting the concept, practice on the range very good, on the course not so good, nothing is flat about our fairways so I seem to be a different angle with each approach shot and therefore some of my directions are quite off line. My drives are not as far as before s@t so what do I do?

Next lesson: "Keeping Your Hair's Relationship to the Golfball". Love it Tom. We miss the lamb chops though...
Tom - how does these 3 moves work to produce a fade?
They don't change for a fade or draw. The swing is the same but the setup changes to alter ball flight.
So the tilt eventually moves the shoulders
Not "eventually". The shoulders move from the start.

Actually, the weight of the hair does help keep me centered. The hair doesn't release until after impact....

I just noticed that your arms are mirrored at the top of the backswing and the finish. Left arm across the body at the top of the backswing and right arm across the body at the finish. Hmmmm
An astute observation, and yes - there just might be something to that, @Gee_Mac72.....😎

Now you have a new instructor, Tom Saguto! Follow his advice, and you will see a huge improvement, at least I did. Really a simple concept that works.
Ah yes, @Shane_Deel... The dark side of golf. Evil swing sorcery. The cult that is quietly, surreptitiously gathering lost swings from the vast purgatorial abyss of failed "conventional" instruction and leading them to the way and the truth of a method rooted in the unchanging principles of physics and geometry. Creating heinously horrifying creatures of repeatability, predictable ball flight, and effortless power. Like a hideous and unstoppable amoeba slowly yet steadily consuming the golfing globe. Resistance is futile; you will be assimilated. Mwahahaha.....Mwahahahaha..... 😂😂😂

@@SagutoGolf I’m listening
Sadly, @Shane_Deel, many misconstrued and/or misguided "established" teachings - such as turning the shoulders level while independently lifting the club, shifting into- and torquing against - a firm trail side, actively rolling the hands through impact, etc. - have relegated generations of golfers to the vast abyss of chronic frustration (and chronic back/knee/hip pain as well). I mean, isn't it interesting - and sad - that with all the advances in equipment, technology, golf course grooming, etc. the average golfer still can't break 100?? Epic failures within the realm of “conventional” instruction, perhaps???We're doing our best here to clear these up one by one and put an end to this madness!

By enrolling in the school you have now entered the KFC buffet line.

@@SagutoGolf crispy!!
It's impossible for me. I'm about to give up. I cannot hit the ball; I come from tennis, I don't understand how can I be so bad in golf. I keep my head in place, I tilt, I turn, I keep my arm straight, but downswing arrives, and I hit badly the ground, or the top of the ball, it's a disaster.
Francisco,
Coming from tennis your body should already be accustomed to many of the components of this swing; it is just a matter of properly integrating them. For this reason, as I mentioned in a previous reply to you the online school - perhaps supplemented by an occasional V1Swing Video Analysis - is the most appropriate way for you to learn this.
Cheers,
Tom

Isn’t it more like knee flexion and knee extension instead of tilting? Tilting promotes a reverse pivot but if turn with the right movement in the knees then you remained balance as you clear the hips and turn your shoulders. I dunno…I just don’t like the choice of words here 😅
