I am Tom Saguto, PGA Member and founder of SagutoGolf. Thank you for visiting my instructional page where you can find how to get on the fast track to improving your golfing abilities. Whether you are a seasoned golfing veteran looking for a quick swing tune-up after an on-course emergency, or a beginner just looking to get the most out of your golfing experience, I am here to help you achieve your golfing goals.
My mission as your swing doctor is simple, to help you maximize your enjoyment in game of golf. Because, let’s face it, golf is a hard game.
My philosophy is wholly based on the student having a fun, meaningful experience in a frustrating and complicated game where potential lifelong golfers either quit because it is too difficult or that they experience some form of swing-related pain or discomfort. I mitigate these problems by focusing entirely on the student’s needs and goals while teaching a golf swing method that ultimately takes stress off of the common pain areas of the swing.

Does it almost feel like hitting a punch shot... I always pure it when I hit a punch but I think it's because how much you put your weight and your hands forward in that type of swing.
i have learned more from your channel in 2 weeks than i have learned from anyone else in 40 years of trying to play golf THANKYOU!!!!

The best training style, methods and accurate information anywhere. I am 72 years old and have never actually played a round of golf. A bunch of duffers got me so confused I put the gear away for two years. I’m baaaaack and completely focused on working through my whole bag using Toms methods. Joining right after I finish typing. Then off to KFC for a 3 piece Krispy meal. Thanks Tom!
I sincerely appreciate your kind words, Barney, and I'm very glad to know that my lesson content and teaching style are resonating with you and providing clarity in the muddied, overly complicated, oft-conflicting realm of golf instruction.

Just started watching this Saguto dude and he really has the talent of explaining things, and is entertaining too. I’m up in Canada and will try his methods on the range when the weather is better. Into my driving net I already notice the difference. Well done, and not boring tutorials.
I sincerely appreciate the kind words, Greggory, and I'm very glad to know that my instruction content and teaching style are resonating well with you!!
I hope the weather breaks soon so you can get out there!

Wow, your lessons are easy to understand and make sense. I have always got my weight back on trail foot and couldn’t kit the ball with any height, but keeping weight forward 60/40 is a game changer. I have watched a lot of video’s and your the only teacher that really helped me. Thank you!
I'm very glad to know that my channel's instruction is resonating well with you, @Golfinky!! Yes - it was a game changer for me as well, as I testify to in this story of my “conversion”: ruclips.net/video/PM8lNNrMPEk/видео.html

SO simple. Love this drill. Looks like the answer to my senior jerky swing.
Not gonna lie. I have been training my swing for 8 months using RUclips and feedback from scratch golfers. I had about 5 guys on RUclips that I trusted enough to listen to and try to learn from. Since finding Saguto golf last week, he is the only one I’ll listen to going forward! Makes it so simple! Soon as I go back to one of my old instructors, I’m back to over thinking.
Thanks Tom!
Just blown away honestly. Went to the range yesterday using Tom’s tips and it was the best range session in a while! Only problem was I hit maybe 4-5 balls a little fat out of the bucket. So I get on RUclips this morning and this video teaching you how not to hit it fat or thin is staring me in the face. Ready for round 2 now!
I sincerely appreciate your kind words, Derek, and I'm very glad to know that my lesson content and teaching style are resonating with you and providing clarity in the muddied, overly complicated, oft-conflicting realm of golf instruction.
This swing system is rooted in physics, geometry, and human physiology, and it is modeled on empirical observations of the game's most prolific ball strikers. No surprise then that it stands the test of time and does not discriminate by age or ability - from kids to seniors and everyone in between, inclusive of the best players in the world today.
Thanks again for your support and for sharing your improvement, and keep up the great work!!

I totally agree that moving the weight forward on the backswing is the key. This is how I became able to hit the ball first then the turf.
I have been at the low point of my swing for my entire golf career....
Hahahahaha thanks
Funny !!! I Love a good come back, which I’m still waiting for lol!
Amen brother
😂😂😂😂
Saguto will get you right
🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for the great video share Tom. Your tips are very simple to follow and even self-explanatory in some cases. I’ve been following the videos for a few weeks now and I’ve noticed some key improvements in getting my swing consistent and better impact. I’m not too worried about distance but my dispersion has noticeably reduced for my irons and the accuracy has definitely improved which for me is key. Keep up the good work.
That’s fantastic, and yes - the distance will definitely come as you get more comfortable with the motions and begin to apply the “wrath”!
Thanks for sharing your success and keep up the great work!!
Tom
This is gold baby, it’s gold!!!
Thanks, Banya!😀
It’s very nice for you to introduce another golf teacher in your video. This clearly shows you want to grow the game and help golfers play best golf if their life. You are the best Tom!
Thanks Rajan! It's all about growing this great game and helping folks to get the most enjoyment out of it that they possibly can. Accomplish that and the business success will take care of itself!
Tom
Can't wait to get to the range now! Lost the art recently with disastrous results, going back to basics, this really makes sense and it's simple. Myriad swing thoughts before, during and after, take a hike.
Tom and Jess, the Stack & Tilt Dream Team!!! Great video! Tom, I don't miss any of your instruction videos, and I've also caught a fair number of Jess' as well. Keep up the great work both of you!!!
Thanks Ed - I had a fabulous time collaborating with Jess and am hopeful that will be able to do it again soon!!
We truly appreciate your kind words and support!
Tom
Getting better each week at learning Tom’s technique. I was having a hard time keeping my weight shifted more onto my lead leg but I found that if I just narrow my stance bye just an inch or two it becomes much easier and natural. 👍👍
Awesome, Caesar - I'm glad to learn of your progress!!

It finally dawned on me, Tom, the alignment stick represents the ball, and you are hitting through the ball (alignment stick) to make contact with the ground in front of the ball.
Great lesson.
both of you were great here. This is an excellent 17 minutes of teaching. I can't wait to get out there and give it a go!
Thanks John - I'm glad you enjoyed it!!

@@SagutoGolf done. I don't see the stack & tilt stuff in there tho. I thought I'd get access to that there
Thanks to you and Jess for this video it helps me so much and I been playing better golf. Thank you guys so much.
HOLY SH!T HOLY SH!T HOLY SH!T. Getting that far left always scared me but it was shocking how good it got me to rotate and activate my ground forces. No sliding, no jumping, none of that. I set my weight on my left side 60 - 30 and took a number of small swings to feel the change and get used to it and then......SNAP, I got the feeling, for another 35 minutes and found my low point. Flushed 10-12 in a row and began to trust where I was going to bottom out. Ramped up the speed and amazed myself with the mash I was feeling. Saw consistent distance and dined on KFC impact until I stopped. dude. the smile on my face right now is pure amazement. the last 20 years have been a huge ?????????. That has ended as of today. Thank you Tom and Jess. UNREAL.
Ben playing since 1966. Tons of range time, and have always been optimistic when I get there, and ready to quit after a bucket. Your videos have finally helped me find consistency after chasing a golf swing literally my whole life watching every video and having no luck till now. My ball striking has so much improved thanks to you. My wife thanks you too, I’m not as crabby after range session now.
Ah yes - another marriage saved. My couples therapy invoice is in the mail, John.....😆😆
I'm thrilled to know that your ball striking has benefited from my instruction content! Thanks so much for sharing your improvement, keep up the great work, and have fun out there!!
Tom
I'm a teacher Suguto and the tilt changed my teaching. Never will u hit it fat. Ty so much..
That's what we're aiming for here, Joel - crispy compression without the fat!! I'm glad to know that this has resonated well with you and your teaching!!
Cheers!
Tom
Thanks! Keep the good tips coming. Heading to purchase my first alignment stick at HD!
Seemed appropriate to comment on a video with both you and Jess in it since you guys have done so much to help me with my golf swing. Both of you teach the same method, but there are certain points that you have made (shoulder tilt, relationship to the ball) and Jess (hand path) that have hit home and really improved my ball striking! Enjoying the game more than I have in many years. Thanks!
Hi Paul,
Jess and I are very glad to learn of your success through our instruction, and we are thrilled to know how much you are now enjoying this great game!! THAT is what this is really all about!!
Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work!!
Tom
PS: I'm not taking anything away from Jess's great instruction, but since you mentioned hand path I just wanted to make sure you knew about this channel's recent episode on the same topic featuring the unique bird's eye view perspective: ruclips.net/video/WxDD63quyk8/видео.html
Cheers!
Great and precised drill! Thanks Tom & Jess!
Thanks Jess and Tom. Buttons down puts it together.
I'm 67 and I've been playing golf off and on since the 9th grade. I've never had a live golf lesson. I used to hit the ball better than I do now following big gaps in playing due to my health. Thankfully I'm doing better now and Tom's videos have helped me more than anything I've ever tried. He just simplifies the basics more clearly than anyone else for me. Thank you Tom!
I sincerely appreciate your kind words, Ralph, and I am very glad to know that you are benefiting from my instruction content and enjoying my teaching style!!
Thanks so much for sharing your success, keep up the great work, and have fun out there!!

You two are excellent instructors individually, but when paired together you are the dynamic duo.
Thanks, Joe!! Jess is a great teaching pro and an even greater person. I really enjoyed getting to know him and I'm so glad we were able to shoot this episode together while down there at instructor camp in Miami!!

I have to hand it to you Tom. This video with Jess was like hitting the lottery for me. Maybe once in 30-40 swings with an iron, I would get that sweet buttery feel of a dead solid perfect, iron shot you talked about. I did exactly as you guys instructed. I took short swings with straight arms and 55-60 percent of my weight on my lead leg. I did this for about 15 minutes without hitting any balls. My divot was always in front of my alignment rod. Long story short, my first 8 shots with a half swing were spot on in the center of the club face. I had a little fade but oh how I loved that buttery feel and solid click of ball being hit perfectly. Tried a few 3/4 swings and they were good also. I have a few timing issues to start drawing the ball again but don’t anticipate that will be hard. Many thanks for the best day I’ve had on the range in a long time. Taking it to the course tomorrow!
That's awesome!! I commend you on slowly and deliberately building this into your swing rather than rushing through it and going back to beating balls. This will pay long-term dividends.
Thanks for sharing your success with this lesson; I hope you had an enjoyable round while deploying these swing keys!!
Tom
I saw one of your videos on “RUclips shorts,” that was less than two minutes long. It changed my game. I am 65 and a 7.1 index, but only because my short game is really good. I have been hitting/ball striking terrible for the past few years. Your short video showing how bringing back the club on the reverse C, and return it along the same arc reminded me of my first golf lesson ever. As I lose flexibility being older even though I’m in good shape at 6’ 0” 188 lbs, I just don’t have the flexibility I used to and realized I had been picking my club up and not making a shoulder turn. Your short lesson changed everything for me and I went out and shot 76 with my son. I’m now watching all your videos and sending them to my friends. I’m in San Diego but I saw you had a 717 area code and I am originally from Pennsylvania so if you’re from Pennsylvania that’s terrific because that’s where we originally are from. I can’t imagine why I’ve never discovered you before but you’re terrific and I appreciate your videos so very much. Thank you.
That's awesome!! I'm very glad to know that lesson resonated so well with you - great job incorporating it into your swing and putting it into play!!
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, 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. You don't need the flexibility of a Romanian gymnast - or even of this far less pliable golf instructor - to execute this swing and experience great ball striking.
I'm in South Carolina now, but I did grow up in South Central PA.
Thanks so much for your support and for sharing your success, keep up the great work, and have fun out there!!

Great content guys, eliminating weight shift is something I've been thinking about for a long time and I wouldn't be surprised if modern golf instruction starts going in that direction. Another big advantage is that it's a lot easier to clean up the swing and filter unwanted movements that go along with the shift and are detrimental to the strike!
Amen to that, Diego!
Thanks very much for your well thought comments regarding this swing method!!
The old paradigm is a tough one to break, but it is happening...
Cheers!
Tom
@@SagutoGolf Tom does your ball move slightly up in your stance when doing the stack and tilt.?
Awesome.Great video.Thanks Jess and Tom.
You two are my favourite You Tube Golf teachers ....BONUS seeing you together! My game has improved amazing since listening to you both.

Both of you are supurb and should be proud of your dedication to helping others wirh the great game of ⛳! I want to visit Litchfield and maybe meet you. Im in Charlotte.
Enjoy the channel.
I committed at the beginning of the season to changing my swing.
I've been playing 10 years now and have never been able to compress the ball and take a divot in front of the ball. This year through a lot of frustration and commitment (bad language and fits of frustration). I have learned a great deaal. I now make much better contact, take divots in front of the ball and have gained 2 club lengths. I am new to your channel and alot of the things I have worked on this year are mostly what you teach.
Awesome!! I'm thrilled for your improvement and and give you props for riding out the frustrations and sticking with the process!! I'm also glad to know that you found my channel and that the instruction content is resonating well with you.
Thanks for sharing your success and keep up the great work!!

I appreciate that, Marty, and I'm happy to know that you'll be enrolling in the school!
Here's some preliminary advice to help you get off to a good start on your journey to the Land of Ball Striking Bliss:
1) Regardless of a member's skill level, this swing necessitates a complete reboot for someone transitioning from a shift & lift swing (which is typically the case), and therefore it is imperative that one take sufficient time to ensure that the fundamental components are mastered. From the ground up there is nothing superfluous in the Stack & Tilt swing - in other words, everything with a purpose, and a purpose for everything. (For example, contrary to shift & lift where you may be taught to keep your trail foot perpendicular to the target line as a means of "creating resistance" in your trail side, in S&T we flare both feet out 10-20 degrees in order to facilitate a free flowing, inclined hip and shoulder turn.) I cannot emphasize this enough, as frustrations predominantly occur when students jump ahead in the curriculum without properly dedicating themselves to the foundational base upon which our consistently repeatable, powerful, low maintenance swing must be built. Chapter 1 of the Golf Swing Simplified program (GSS) and Part I of Get Out & Go Play (GOGP) both address this.
2a) GSS: One of the many great things about this swing is that you can achieve solid ball striking even at the most basic levels. This is why I oftentimes will suggest that students park themselves on Chapter 2 of the GSS course for an extended period of time after locking down Chapter 1's foundational elements. Chapter 2 reinforces the body motions and the weight-forward component, and it culminates with what I call "The Best Golf Swing Practice Drill of All Time". Work yourself sequentially and gradually through the chapter, and then commit yourself to that drill in Lesson 2.8. Learn it. Practice it. Master it. You can even use this partially abbreviated swing on the course and play quite well with it as it will provide plenty of distance. (It actually is the full swing minus just a couple of power accumulators.) Once you've got that down, you will be well prepared to move forward in the curriculum and well on your way towards taking ownership of YOUR swing!
2b) GOGP: This quick-start program is exactly as it sounds - it is designed to fast-track you out onto the course so you can have fun - and success - playing as you learn! Should you choose this path, everything in #1 above still applies, and as implied above in 2a you will still want to work through it sequentially and gradually, mastering each lesson before moving ahead to the next one. In this program, Drill #5 - The Flying Wedge is the one you'll want to park yourself on and nail down.
3) Also, as you progress always keep in mind the V1 Swing Video Analysis service, an effective and inexpensive service that I highly recommend to everyone in the school. I liken it to bringing your swing into the shop for a tune-up or minor repair. Scheduling one on a quarterly basis for preventive maintenance will do wonders for keeping things humming along nicely, and it's also a great tool for pinpointing and resolving any issues that arise. The process involves downloading the free V1 app and then submitting two videos to me through the app - one down-the-line (captured from your stance line, not the target line) and the other face-on. You'll find more information about the V1 Analysis halfway down this page on the Saguto.Golf site: saguto.golf/p/sagutogolf
4) Finally, please migrate over to the SagutoGolf Community Forum - which is included in your online school enrollment - and begin engaging with your fellow members. It only takes a minute or two to enroll - just go to your “My Courses” screen and you’ll see a link to get started. Once signed in you’ll be able to access and participate in the great dialogue that we are having on a variety of topics. You can start discussions, contribute to existing threads, post specific swing questions, make some new friends, and just share in the common bond of golfers from around the world seeking to improve their games and help others to do the same. I really think you’ll enjoy it!
I look forward to assisting you through the school’s structured lessons and drills towards building a consistent, low maintenance, powerful, body-friendly swing that will bring your enjoyment of this great game to a new level!
Tom
love this video. so helpful again :) feeling more confident with my swing after this ... and the drills. thanks a lot.
Thanks! I'm very glad to know that this lesson with Jess resonated so well with you.

Very much useful tip.. Nice and crispy to the point.. Basic rules explained simple
Yesterday I couldn't find the sweetspot on any club. Today, after watching this excellent video and just a few minutes of slo mo drills, my range session was 180⁰ turned around and I was carving butter for 2 hours. Very effective tutorial! Thanks!

Mr Tom... you are simply amazing..the Einstein doctor of golf..the ability to communicate the understanding of golf like no other on the Internet airwaves.. not even the pros can do the GOLF TALK as you well done coach you are a priceless professor to the 🌎 world of golf. Keep it coming.. your friend DG from California...via mexico.. amigo.. you changed my golf game to awesome heights ..thank you
You are far too kind, DG, but I sincerely appreciate your support and I am very glad to know that my instruction content and teaching style are continuing to resonated with you!!
Thanks so much for sharing your dramatic improvement and keep up the great work!! 💪💪
Tom
I had to come back and watch this again perfect simple instructions
Guys I tried the weight forward 1/4 swing method and I was hitting my seven iron like a robot! Straight, high and consistent as hell. Thank you so much!
That's awesome, Kevin!! I'm very glad to know that the weight-forward component is performing well for you. Nice job incorporating it into your swing.
Thanks for sharing your success and keep up the great work!!

Tom thanks for the instruction and it really seems like you want us to play our best golf. It comes across that way in your videos. I just picked up the game this spring at 60 to spend time with the boys, now addicted. Since watching your videos it has helped my swing, best score thus far is 94 thanks to you, usually around 105. When I follow the "stac/tilt" teaching my ball striking is more consistent. My issue is I'm left handed so my lead leg is my right leg which has had 3 minor arthroscopic surgery's over the years so putting 55/45 tilt on the front leg has soreness as the number of holes played increases. So I'm trying more of a balance 50/50 but honestly not striking as clean as with the Stac. I'm trying to find a balance of Stac/tilt and 50/50?
If you don't already take turmeric for inflammation start doing it. It will help with the pain and soreness you are having
TOM
I always played my best golf after practicing knock down shots..long chips before a round...now know why...my father was scratch...told me 2 things...divot target side of ball and athletic swing..That is the ultimate lesson of all time you guys delivered !
Dennis
Thanks Dennis!! And great simple words of wisdom from your dad!!
Tom
Best lesson ever, I’m not watching any more golf lesson vids till I’ve conquered this lesson 👍👍👍👍
It's a great one to conquer, Paul, because it will you on the path towards crispy compression and seemingly effortless power!

Great advice
So happy seeing both of you,together.Luckily I found both of you the same day. Thanks again to both of you, I am 71, only regret I did not find this earlier.
Thanks for your kind words, Ron! Jess and I thoroughly enjoyed collaborating in this video and hope to do more of these in the future.
Anyway - now that you’ve found us, let’s get you playing your best golf!!
Tom
@@SagutoGolf Sounds like a winner..
Your tips really helped me out my son and I played 18 holes my swing stayed pretty consistently I started off the round with a Birdie and finished with a score of 80 my personal best thank you for the great golf tips👍🏿
That's AWESOME - Congratulations on your personal best!!! 💪💪
Thanks for sharing your success and keep up the great work. 70's are next!!!
Tom
What a fantastic drill! Make a similar drill video for the Driver swing, this is good and simple to apply, a simple drill for the driver would be very very useful as well!
I watch this video every day and I get so much out of it. I enjoy it very much
Thanks Bob!!
You do a great job Tom , I have checked out Jess’s channel and he does a great 👍 job too
Luv u guys , keep going !
Hi Jeffrey,
I really enjoyed collaborating with Jess and am hopeful for more opportunities to do so in the future. He’s really a great guy and a tremendous instructor!
Thanks very much for your kind words!
Tom
Really worked for me! Far more consistent at the range... cant wait to take it to the course.
Awesome!! We're glad this lesson resonated well with you.
Have fun out there putting it into play!!
Tom
Thanks! I believe this may be the missing link in curing my golf swing inconsistencies!
Thanks much guys ! Outstanding lesson !
I can't get enough of your content. First round of the year is coming up this weekend. Looking forward to applying what I've learned.
Awesome!! Have fun out there, Kurt!!
Keep it crispy! 😎

@@SagutoGolf KFC BABY!
Speaking of which, I'm still waiting for that endorsement deal from The Colonel..... 😆😆
Wow what a great lesson. I have been so focussed on proper weight transition that i often get stuck on my back side. Ive been goung about it the wrong way. Can't wait to get to the range
You are definitely not alone with getting stuck on your trail side, Thomas. 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.
You will likely be amazed at how a centered swing will really crisp up your ball striking. And if you like your initial "weight-forward" experience, then perhaps you might consider the comprehensive, structured learning platform of my online school? So many folks across the globe are now enjoying the best golf of their lives as a result. Here's a link if you would like to know more about it: saguto.golf/p/golf-swing-simplified-tom-saguto-pga

Me too I've been transferring weight back and actually starting with it back. This makes me realize I've been doing it all wrong this whole time 25 years
Love it #networkpower 💪
Great video, that's one of my problems when I when I try to load up on my take away. ( Thinking I will gain more distance, to a certain point) I can tell when I hit about 1/2 - inch behind the ball, that I'm swaying too much. Next time Im at range I'll try this drill. I can even try it in the yard lol. So one of the things I have to careful of is to not get over to much of the ball or been my knees too much in the downswing causing me to take those deep divots, instead of those dollar vivids. Thanks
Learning to control your low point and take a proper divot offers a fun way to do some weeding in the yard, Eric...😆
Have fun out there!

This has really helped!
You guys nailed it
I have been lurking these Saguto Golf videos for a few weeks now. I'm newly returned to golf after a 20 year hiatus and I have never been a good golfer. I have never understood the synchronization of the lower and upper body before seeing these videos. I used the swing down with my arms, cutting across the ball. The result was horrible, inconsistent contact and a weak shot with zero distance. I've tried Tom's suggestions lately and have seen a dramatic improvement in ball striking, consistency, and length. It hasn't translated to better scores yet, mainly because my short game has let me down. I know I'm on the right track with Tom's concepts...and with a little focused practice, I'll be breaking 100 in no time. Thank you Mr. Saguto!
I’m glad to know that you’ve been lurking, John, (😂) and I appreciate your kind words!!

@@SagutoGolf I am seriously considering it. I like your philosophy on the swing and your enthusiasm and passion is an inspiration. I want to be good at Golf and I believe in your method; I've been sharing links to your videos with several of my playing buddies :)
This is absolutely life changing. I have a net down in my basement and I immediately went down and did this drill. I have never in my life hit the turf after hitting the golf ball. I have never heard that crisp sound from my irons until tonight and I have had this set for 3 years. I’m going to repeat this drill every single day until it becomes muscle memory. I even did a few full swings and my goodness I think my 7 iron is going 200 yards when before it was 160-170. This is unreal how easy a golf swing actually is. Every time I golf these exact words come out of my mouth. “Golf is hands down the hardest sport there is”. I am almost 100% certain I will not have these words come out of my mouth on my next round
That's awesome!! I'm very glad to know that this lesson resonated well with you, and welcome to the magical and blissful world of crispy compression!! 💪💪

You ever tried hitting a baseball?
@@danielpassmore5026 I played baseball from tball all the way senior year in highschool. What’s that gotta do with golf though? I think baseball made it so golf was harder for me to grasp. Last weekend my friends and I did a scramble in tourney. Usually my shots might be used 5-7 times but every single drive and par 3 drives we played mine. I made several putts, I just need to work on my game around the green. That’s where I used to be money but I lost it 🫠
We also shot -14 and tied first for the win. Usually when I’m golfing I get discouraged but this time around I felt co confident standing over the ball. I need to do a round playing only my shots see how I do. I’m more of scramble golfer though. I find it more enjoyable in the end playing with friends
I love your instruction and your enthusiasm Tom. I have been working on maintaining my weight on the front foot (55/45) since you mentioned it a number of your lessons back with VERY good results (no divots just a couple of blades of grass). I have been told that on my bad shots I seem to be reverse pivoting which I guess could be due to collapsing my left/front leg/turning hips too much or could be moving my head forward? any ideas/swing thoughts on how not to occasionally reverse pivot? I am another bloody Australian so am to far away to see you in person otherwise I would in a heartbeat.
Hi Peter,
Since we’re keeping the weight forward throughout the swing, the only way to reverse pivot is if some of our weight leaks into the trail side.

Fantastic tip! Been having problems with chunking and thinning shots. I knew I was too much on the back foot, but couldn't move past it. The weight balance was something I didn't know. I will be doing this going forward.
I'm glad to know that this lesson helped you, Brian! In the swing system I teach you start with your weight forward (55/45 on the front side; 60/40 for the longer clubs), increase that same weight forward to the top of the backswing (70/30), and further increase the forward weight during the downswing from halfway down (80/20) through impact (90/10) and to the finish at 95/5 forward. There's no "weight shift"; instead it's just a gradually increasing load onto the lead side. And the result is a centered, low-maintenance, body-friendly, consistent, and tremendously powerful swing.

@@SagutoGolf Awesome! I look forward to practicing this and hopefully getting over the chunking problem that has cropped up in my game this year. My distance has suffered overall too, so I look forward to compressing the ball and getting the extra distance!
Great content. Would like to see you and Jess out on the course applying some course management.
Great idea, although we’ll need to do some planning to arrange for that, Ann, as we’re a few hundred miles apart!!
Glad you enjoyed the video!!

Thanks Tony - glad you enjoyed the first of hopefully many more Tom & Jess collaborations!

This looks very good indeed. I regularly hit a slice with no power or good strike. I have gone from regularly playing to 5 handicap to absolutely not being able to hit a golf ball. I'm hoping this might solve a lot issues. Thanks

I tried the weight forward the other day without any range time before the round and hit ;my irons better and further than I ever had before, and the ball went straight or drew for most of the shots! I still had a few clunkers (Hey- its a new sing for me), but Toms tip has changed things for me! Now all I have to do is putt better- too many graze the cup and miss! Tom gives simple, straight forward tips that have helped me with my driver as well! THANKS, TOM!
That's awesome, Gary - thanks so much for sharing your ball striking improvement!!
The need for a weight shift in the golf swing is one of the greatest fallacies ever taught, and it has led many an amateur golfer into the vast abyss of chronic inconsistency and frustration. Can you have some transfer of pressure into the trail side in the takeaway? Yes - as long as you keep your center intact and don't shift off the ball. But you best be back into your lead side by time you get to the transition. In the swing system I teach we start with our weight forward (generally 55/45 for the short and mid irons, 60/40 for the longer clubs), gradually add more forward weight to the top (70/30), 80/20 halfway down, 90/10 impact, and 95/5 finish. There's no "weight shift"; instead, it's just a gradually increasing load onto the lead side. And the result is a centered, low-maintenance, body-friendly, consistent, and tremendously powerful swing.

Keep your arms straight and keep your weight on your lead leg. It's so simple but I've never seen this advice until this week (watched a similar video with Danny Maude to). I went to my course practice area today and hit 25 pitching wedge shots and 25 8 iron shots and it was a revelation. Gone is the feeling of trying to kill the ball with all of my strength and now it feels so smooth. There were no more fades or slices (I did have four shanks though) and now it's perfectly straight or small draws. Plus perfect divots after the ball! I can't wait to get back to the range!
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....... 😎
Nice job incorporating those two tips into your swing. There's no need to kill it when you have physics and geometry working for you.
Keep up the great work and have fun out there!!

Hey Tom, it's Tom from Greenbush golf course Greenbush michigan been trying to fix my slice , well its the open face at my stake point. Thanks for bringing it up in this video .I've been struggling with all the other aspects of my swing, but really it's all about the stike point. Thanks this is working.
I'm glad to know that you are seeing improvement, Tom!
It's important to know why the ball is behaving a particular way in order to reverse engineer the cause. The ball is simply responding to the flight plan assigned to it by the clubface at impact. Clubface relative to target line dictates the ball's starting line, and face relative to path determines direction and degree of curvature. There's plenty of detailed content in the online school specific to ball flight fixes and shot shaping.
Keep up the great work, and hopefully you'll be enjoying a steady diet of push-draws this upcoming season!!
