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.

This guy has saved my game!!!🎉
Tom… thanks for replying. Will be there in May, my bad. Anyway… going to check out the online courses. after having a three level fusion in my back and both hips replaced in the last five years I need all the help I can get. Especially in the area of playing without hurting myself. Thanks again, you’re the best! Sincerely, Dan.
Q
Hey Saguto golfer ! I was practicing and I changed my grip pressure from a 4 to a six. That resulted into a lot of crispy chicken shots. It seems like I controlled the club throughout the swing. Do you think that adjustment is a positive. Or do you see other issues coming from that change ? Thx brother. Your very good at getting back to your golfers !
Really happy with his lessons
You’re like the Bob Ross of golf instruction. Demeanor, sense of humor, visualization techniques. Great stuff! Thank you for these insights.
We are effortlessly and smoothly painting fairways and greens here at SagutoGolf…. 😎
LOL!! Thanks Eric - I'm very glad to know that my instruction is resonating well with you!!
To,
That’s it! Bob Ross of golf!! I was trying to really figure out what he reminds me of, and that’s it! Through and through bob Ross instructor of gold.
Bob Ross was the other vids with the fuller hair look. This is more Michael Landon hair.
Tom, I have spent thousands of dollars in lessons, thousands of balls at the range yearly and have watched over a thousand videos over the years. None of these have promoted a significant improvement in my golf game! That being said, I watched one of your videos, (since I have watched many more) listened to what you said, went to the range and applied what I learned from your video. I hit the ball , longer straighter all while feeling more comfortable than I ever felt swinging the clubs. You have a very unique way of getting your point across!! Thanks Tom! you way of teaching others far exceeds the ability of the majority of the famous well know golf coaches. Keep doing what your doing. Very impressive!!!
I sincerely appreciate your kind words, Thad, and I'm very glad to know that my instruction content and teaching style are resonating well with you! This powerful, consistent, body-friendly swing system is designed to provide a lifetime of blissful ball striking up to and including at the game's most elite levels. Thanks so much for your support in sharing your improvement and keep up the great work!!

Hi Thad 100 % correct Tom gets it over better than any golf lessons I have had in 80 years . I came to the conclusion all the total wasted lessons I have paid for ,they do it deliberately so you do not have a bloody clue what you are doing and you pay for more waste of time bloody lessons it is all 100 % CON - SCAM -LIES -FRAUD to make money from the armatures
Yo Tom…great advice great videos! I’m 52 years old started golfing at 45 and I’ve done nothing but struggle with anything longer than a 9 iron. I’ve studied your videos for the past month and I’m actually hitting a SOLID 4 iron. Keep up the good work!
That's awesome, Dan - I'm thrilled to learn of your improvement, and I'm very glad to know that my instruction is resonating well with you!!

My 5 and 3 iron work good after 1 month watching Tom's video, but couldn't get 4 iron work. Need some more practices. ^_^
All my irons are from used market, each one has different brand, weight, length. ha-ha.
This is exactly what I needed thanks Tom. You really are a legend - such a great teacher. Thank you.
Awesome! I'm glad to know that this lesson resonated well with you, Murray, and I sincerely appreciate your kind words!!
Tom
Mr Saguto I personally want to thank you for your golf tips and lessons that you post I am self taught and was shooting around 90 but with your tips and drill lessons. I shot a 79 which means my score is going down and my golf game is going up. Thank you for helping save my game which makes playing this game that much more enjoyable I will continue watching your tips and lessons 👍🏿
@SS - That's *awesome* - congrats on a great round!! 💪💪 I'm thrilled for your improvement and enthusiasm, and I'm very glad to know that my instruction content is benefiting you!!

As always, great teaching, Tom! And yes, Jack Nicklaus was absolutely right about the stake down through the head and body into the ground. Being shifty is not good in life and definitely not in the golf swing too. Way to go!
Thanks - I'm glad you enjoyed the lesson video, and yes indeed - Mr. Nicklaus' "most important tip" is a simple and timeless one that is certain to benefit all golfers!!
Tom
His video has changed my game. No more topped balls and can consistently depend on my 8iron to get me a solid 155 yards. Still working on 7iron and lower but shot 89 for the first time ever! Really appreciate you coach.
That's an awesome accomplishment, Moses!! 💪💪 Congratulations on breaking 90 and shooting your personal best!!
Thanks for sharing your dramatic improvement and keep up the great work!!

I've seen a lot of your videos, always entertaining an very informative, but I watched this one yesterday and it was exactly what I've been fighting for years.I went to the range after work,left arm straight, head still,shoulders rotate.OMG.. I'm 59 years old,been playing for 45..it was a stripe show.
I never hit so many solid irons in my life..I'm so excited, I feel like I discovered how to actually play the game..I thank you so much,keep up the excellent work,will continue to watch your videos, plenty of good instructors out there, but you are definitely the best..thanks again
Awesome job, Mike - I'm so glad to know that this lesson resonated with you, and I appreciate you sharing your success with it!!
Now that you've had a taste of the crispier than KFC ball striking bliss I've been talking about, I know you are ready for the full buffet. To this end I invite you to check out my online school where you can take your learning - and your game - to the next level.

Tom
Class Tom, I've told so many people about your teaching and everyone improves who watches you. Thank you 👍
Thanks so much for your support! I sincerely appreciate the kind words and referrals, and I'm thrilled to learn of all the improvement that is taking place as a result of your sharing!!
Tom
Tom, watched you for years now. As I might not do everything that you’ve said the ground work came from you. Adult 33 years old I’ve only played golf since I was 30. You taught me simplicity. I started out I was probably a 25+ handicap. I am now a 3.2 self taught no lessons. But I have found my approach to the game.
In that same breath I have found I’m more like Duvall or Zach Johnson. I started out I was of course a slicer of the golf ball. Worked on grip it helped some but not really, worked on release it didn’t help at all. One weird day I said I have something in my natural swing that will open the face I just can’t naturally get out of it. So I experimented I started to close my face 25-45 degrees before I take a strong grip. If I want to hit a fade I just draw my lead foot back and it fades perfectly. If I want to hit more of a straight shot on a tight fairway I have it closed at I’d say about 35 degrees but then I aim my feet straight. If I want to hit a draw I slightly close the face and aim to the right. My last 10 scores are 9 holes 32,34,34,35,36,36,36,37,38,38 not in order. My last 4 full 18 are 68,70,72,78. I know at this point I’m probably been on a streak of playing my a game. It doesn’t feel like it though because even in those good rounds there’s been moments that I’m like I missed 2 3 shots every time I go out that I know I can really hit. But I do think people need to simplify the game and if something is contrary but works do it. Do not play typical golf if it’s not working
@CREAM Abdul-Jabbar - That is *AWESOME* - I'm thrilled for your dramatic improvement!!
As I often say with regard to the lessons and drills here and particularly in the online school, they provide the guidelines and set the boundaries for this swing system while allowing ample leeway for the individual golfer to infuse and exercise their own uniqueness. This enables each of us to take ownership of *_our_* swing, and that is obviously what you have done.
Thanks so much for sharing your success and keep up the great work!!
Tom
I have mentioned in a couple of your videos that I am on a golf comeback. I want to shorten it up and tighten it up and have a simple, highly repeatable swing. These are great tips. Thanks!!
I'm glad these lessons are continuing to resonate well with you, Jon. This body-friendly, powerful, consistent, low-maintenance swing system is designed to provide a lifetime of enjoyment for all golfers, and since it is rooted in physics, geometry, and human physiology it does not discriminate by age or ability - from kids to seniors and everyone in between, inclusive of the best players in the world.
I'm sure I've mentioned the online school to you at least once in previous replies. That would be the best place for you to properly learn and ingrain this swing in a comprehensive, structured, sequential platform. (Also in this regard, there is a major upgrade coming to the school - likely within the next couple of weeks - that is going to take things to a whole new level.) If you haven't already enrolled I would highly recommend it as the school will provide the means to fast-track your comeback and achieve your goals in the near term. saguto.golf
Thanks for your comment and keep up the great work!!
Tom
A lot of instructors stress ball position for iron shots but forget this important step about moving 2/3 of your weight to your lead foot and striking down on the ball. Thanks for showing us!
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....... 😆
Thanks for your comment - I'm glad to know that this lesson resonated with you!!
Tom
Struggling with ball contact at the moment Tom. I'm gonna subscribe to this for the summer. Play off low single digits but always seem to have ball contact and strike issues week to week. Keep up the great work. Videos are epic👍🇮🇪🍀
Highly recommend his videos... Check out his magic elbow video too
@Mike Carey - Sounds good, and I'm glad to know that you are enjoying my content!
Just to be clear, my channel's lessons and tips are not a compilation of band-aid fixes - they are all elements of the comprehensive swing system that I teach. Now, could someone deploy one of my tips to field dress a swing wound? Absolutely. However, it will ultimately serve them far better - and will stand the test of time and pressure - if they adopt and embrace the system in its entirety, and that is precisely what the online school does in a structured and sequential learning environment. Thousands of folks across the globe - including many seasoned, low-handicap, competitive players - are now enjoying the best golf of their lives as a result, and I'm happy to let their unsolicited testimonials tell the story: saguto.golf/p/sagutogolfreviews.

Tom
Saguto, you are making my day. I shoot 45-52 generally on nine and I believe this has given me an opportunity to tighten up those iron approach shots enough to break new barriers...just from watching to 3:45 on this video... Well done, sir! Thank you!
I'm happy to be of service, Matthew, and I'm glad to know that my instruction content is resonating well with you!

Tom
EVERY video from this guy is golden! Not watching a single other instructor again but will place my bet for my lousy golf on listening to Tom.
I appreciate that, Fredrik! The only problem is that if you truly follow my instruction, then you won't be playing lousy golf anymore... 😆
Speaking of which, have you considered the comprehensive, structured, sequential learning platform of my online school? That's where - among many other courses and lessons covering various aspects of the game - you will find very detailed instruction and drills that take you through the entire swing step-by-step from setup to finish.

Embrace the challenge and have fun out there!
Tom
@@SagutoGolf haha.:) Yes I will consider that ... but first I am going to the range and try to keep this twitching, leaning-all-over-the--place body standing over the ball, weight on lead foot and rotate these stiff hips/shoulders with limited wrist action and see what happens. If it goes as my imagination this cold night in Sweden promise, then I might either think I am all-that and need no further advise or come back for the online school.:) But until then, keep up the awesome job!
Love this. This one tip does so much to solidify the swing. It's simple but not easy, feel vs. real. It all makes so much sense yet there is work to be done. Thanks for another great episode!
I'm very glad to know that this tip resonated well with you, Jay!
Golf is indeed a very difficult sport. But if we can simplify the swing so as not to rely on timing and/or exceptional hand-eye coordination, then we can achieve consistently great results without having to continuously work so hard. So we put in the time and effort on the front end to build the swing, and then we can enjoy low maintenance, powerful, predictable, body-friendly ball striking bliss for the rest of our lives!
Tom
I started w Stack n tilt last Fall...this Summer at some point i managed to talk myself back towards traditional methods...yesterday I went to hit balls...2 good shots..4 bad ones..1 good shot ..3 bad ones..thin ..fat..frustration grew...I talked myself righ back to stack n tilt...over next 10 minutes I proceeded to crunch perfect iron shots some 20 in a row..compressing ea. shot beautifully
Welcome back to "the dark side", Jeff, where the spoils of "conventional" instruction - chronic inconsistency, physical pain, and endless frustration - yield to the fruits of body-friendly enjoyment of this great game for a lifetime. 😎
Tom, for me this is the most telling of all your fantastic videos. I remember Jack Nicklaus forty years ago saying that Jack Grout used to hold his hair when practising to keep his head still. The trouble is it's so easy to stray away from this number one fundamental. Rory McIlroy drops his head and squats in the downswing and many of us have tried to copy his swing - I am now convinced it's a waste of time practising this technique as the timing involved is way beyond the skill set of this weekend warrior. Thanks, mate, as ever.
Robbie Sprague, Winchester, England
Hi Robbie,
I sincerely appreciate your kind words and I'm very glad to know that this lesson resonated well with you!
You are so correct. Amateurs have to be very careful with the temptation to copycat the motions of favorite Tour players. The pros have spent years crafting their swings and continue to hit thousands of balls each week to maintain them.
Mr. Nicklaus' tip is timeless and is applicable to golfers of all skill levels, including those Tour players who prefer to not have to spend all that time at the range!
Cheers!
Tom
This really works! I improved my ball striking almost immediately by doing this. Looking forward to getting out soon. Been hitting indoors on simulator. Love the sound when you catch ball clean and then may. Noticed longer/straighter and higher flight on on my mid to long irons which is great.
I'm very glad to learn of your improvement, Robert!!
Indeed it does work as this powerful, consistent, body-friendly swing system is designed to provide a lifetime of blissful ball striking up to and including at the game's most elite levels.
Thanks so much for sharing your progress with it and keep up the great work!!

Just a quick thanks to let you know you have made me see parts of my course I have never seen before. Places like the middle of the fairway. Also not so tired from walking in a straight line instead of zig zaggin to the green. Also saving money on balls 😂
LOL - That's awesome!! 😆😆

This is excellent. I’ve already begun to notice how much better I’m striking the ball when I turn my shoulders in a tight circle and take my left shoulder at the ball. Thank you for the immediate improvement.
Well done, James!!
Keep it centered to keep it crispy!!
Tom
I've watched hundreds of fix your golf swing videos and you're the first person that finally breaks it down into something understandable.
I appreciate that and I'm very glad to know that my instruction and teaching style are resonating well with you!

Outstanding job of explaining the physics of the golf swing again. This is what you do extremely well. Excellent, excellent, excellent.
Thanks so much, Steven - I appreciate that!!
Tom
What a gem!💎This made me look like a professional this morning..:…thank you ever so much. There is too much videos out there on making a good swing,but this one is the boss in the moss. I don’t even want to share it🤣🤣
LOL!! I can appreciate your "selfish desires", Sean! 😎
Thanks for sharing your success with this lesson, and keep up the great work!!

You’re very gifted in making what seems so complicated so simple!
I appreciate that!

This advice really helped me. Thanks Tom.
My pleasure, Rickey!!
Keep your videos coming please. I love this one about rotating and keeping your arm straight because I’m always topping the ball because I’ve had 3 back operations and I can’t twist like this so any suggestions or videos you’ve already done please let me know. Thanks again.
Will do, Kenneth. I'm very glad to know that my instruction is resonating well with you!
By the way, you may be interested to know that a significant percentage of my online school members are in their 60's, 70's, and 80's - i.e.: a smorgasbord of chronic ailments, physical limitations, back/shoulder/knee/hip pain, arthritis, and joint replacements - and they are overwhelmingly elated to experience the dramatic pain-free game improvement, seemingly effortless power, and resulting enjoyment that this swing affords them. It all begins with a proper setup which provides for a free-flowing motion. Upon that good foundation a repeatable swing which produces consistently crispy impact can be built.
Have you looked into the comprehensive, structured, sequential learning platform of the online school yet? 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.

You don't need the flexibility of a Romanian gymnast - or even of this far less pliable golf instructor - to execute this swing, experience great ball striking, and reclaim - or even exceed - yardages from years past. I hope you'll give the school some thought.
Thanks for you comment!
Tom
Great stuff! I love the point that it's "simple," but not "easy." My dad always used to talk about Nicklaus saying to swing like you are in a barrel -- only way to do that is without shifting!
Thanks Matt! I'm glad you enjoyed the video, and yes - that "swinging in a barrel" imagery is definitely on point!!
Tom
Finally learned how to hit my driver yesterday…I shot a 105, but that’s great for a guy like me. Thanks for all the lessons Tom.
Awesome! I'm very glad to hear about your progress!

great vdo. I had to make sure my posture is good before trying to point the left shoulder to the ball in the backswing. If posture is too stooped then it doesn’t work so well.
Absolutely, Paul - a good swing must start with a proper setup as that is the foundational base for the motion.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

Great info... stack and tilt.
Thanks Bob - I'm glad you enjoyed it!!
This body-friendly, powerful, consistent, low-maintenance Stack and Tilt swing system is designed to provide a lifetime of great ball striking, and since it is rooted in physics, geometry, and human physiology it does not discriminate by age or ability - from kids to seniors and everything in between, and inclusive of the best players in the world. I give all credit where it is due - to Andy Plummer and Mike Bennett for analyzing and interpreting the science, and to those who preceded them with their empirical observations of the game's best ball strikers and all their subsequent chalkboard number-crunching . I just do my best to take what they have built and convey it in my own simplified teaching style.
Tom
Great work. Once part of your online school. Now I'm back on this video. Simple reminders and tips. Thank you Tom. I'll be on MB SC in May!
Thanks Esteban!!
I do hope to see you back in the school again, especially as I am now in the process of rolling out a completely new platform including updated lesson content.
Enjoy your time here on the Grand Strand!!
Tom
Tom, I've been a member for a few months now. Wow! I've never hit the ball so well (with all of my clubs). I also added in the Lag Shot per your reco. It's only helped solidify your method. Can't wait to get out on the course and enveil the swing :)
Hi Brian,
I'm thrilled to learn of your dramatic improvement through your bag, and I sincerely appreciate your kind words regarding the online school and this body-friendly, consistent, powerful swing system for all ages!! And yes - the LagShot is a great training aid for reinforcing the proper motion. I'm very glad to know that you are reaping its benefits!
Thanks so much for your support and keep up the fantastic work!!
Tom
Your setup and take away is pure Saguto but the top of your swing looks like Hogan and your finish looks like Moe Norman---which by the way are known as the best ball strikers ever. Your teaching has gotten me confident in my tee shot and my approach shot. Sometimes I am a little long or short but at 71, my swing speed changes daily according to how stiff I am. My problems is putting and green speed not to mention I can't see too well either! Lol Thanks for helping my swing be consistent!
Well, I certainly appreciate the comparisons to those ball striking legends!!
I'm very glad to learn of your progress! Thanks so much for your support in sharing your improvement through my instruction, and keep up the great work!!
Tom
I really liked this - I tried it out in my practice net and I think it’s the right way - finally!
Awesome! I'm glad to know that this lesson resonated with you, and I hope it performs well when you take it out the the course.
Keep up the great work!!

Tom, you’re doing a great job with the stack and tilt keeping the left arm straight is hard I’m 59 years old and not very flexible. Can you give me some kind of advice keep up the good work Joe West Virginia.
I appreciate that, Joe!
The key here is get to - but not go beyond - your body's natural stopping point in the backswing where the tilting, turning, and extending motions are complete, the lead arm has crossed the chest 45 degrees, and the wrists are properly set (preferably with a flat or slightly bowed lead wrist). This is the point where if we were to try to go any further any or all of the following will occur:
1) the lead arm will bend and/or lift
2) the wrists will break down
3) the lead knee will kick inward towards the trail side
4) the lead shoulder will level out and lose its orientation towards the ball
5) weight will shift into the trail side and bring the low point back with it, resulting in inconsistent contact and unpredictable ball flight.
6) you'll "chicken wing" and/or flip through impact
7) pain, discomfort, and/or possible injury
We don't need to try to get to "parallel" with this swing, and fighting your body in an attempt to do so will result in some combination of the above issues. If you execute this swing properly you will have created width and plenty of distance for that club to travel by taking it in deep, and that will enable you to harness the tremendous power source known as "angular momentum".
With regard to flexibility, a significant percentage of my online school members are in their 60's, 70's, and 80's - i.e.: a smorgasbord of chronic ailments, physical limitations, back/shoulder/knee/hip pain, arthritis, and joint replacements - and they are overwhelmingly elated to experience the dramatic pain-free game improvement, seemingly effortless power, and resulting enjoyment that this swing affords them. It all begins with a proper setup which provides for a free-flowing motion. Upon that good foundation a repeatable swing which produces consistently crispy impact can be built.

You don't need the flexibility of a Romanian gymnast - or even of this far less pliable golf instructor - to execute this swing, experience great ball striking, and reclaim - or even exceed - yardages from years past. I hope you'll give the school some thought.
Tom

Yes indeed thanks Tom. Great video.
My pleasure, Ashton - I'm glad you enjoyed it!!
Tom
I've beem struggling with weight shift, which you pinpointed. A million thanks to you!!!! What about driver swing? Left leg is axis and shoulder turn?
I'm happy to have been of assistance, Sean; thanks for sharing your improvement!!
Yes - it is essentially the same swing with every club; just some minor setup differences and naturally occurring shaft plane changes as we graduate up in club length from short irons to woods. To demonstrate, you'll find towards the end of this episode some driving range footage of me hitting a 7 iron, 3 wood, and driver: ruclips.net/video/o0xscMyN3v8/видео.html Beyond that, if you search the word "drive" on this channel you'll see some related content.
Upon learning this swing properly you will be harnessing the tremendous power source known as "angular momentum". This is the reason my students and online school members of all age ranges end up bombing it farther than they ever had previously, and I'm happy to let their unsolicited testimonials tell the story: saguto.golf/p/sagutogolfreviews.

Saguto you are hilarious AND a great golf teacher. Keep it up!
Thanks Darin - I'm glad to know that you're enjoying my "lesson and a show" instruction style!! 😎
Tom
I've used this to stop slicing! Yeah, maybe losing a few yards by not shifting my weight. BUT I've gained overall because I'm on the fairway instead of hunting for my ball. Great advice. Thanks
That's awesome, Erika - nice job incorporating this lesson into your swing and resolving your ball flight issues!!
By the way, it is a fallacy that power comes from shifting weight back and forth. Instead it is really just a source of inconsistency. Once you properly learn this very centered swing system and are able to trust it you will be experiencing the power of swinging on an inclined circle - called "angular momentum" - where physics and geometry collide.

Brilliant video Tom. I just think about turning my lead shoulder down to the ball. Works a treat!
Thanks David, and well done!! A very simple and effective tip indeed!
Tom
It was a little too windy at the range tonight so I went back home and hit pitch shots off the pine straw (aka needles) in the back yard. You don't talk much about the short game but I used the same weight forward, straight lead arm technique as for the full swing and got great results. Hit behind the ball on the pine straw & it goes nowhere so it's a good test. Thanks! p.s. You would have great success if you ever started a 2-3 day golf school. (Hint!)
Absolutely, Bob - the weight-forward/arms-straight concept applies to chipping and pitching as well.
Thanks for the (subtle) hint... 😎 The online school accomplishes far more than than a live event ever will because the instruction is always available on-demand, and with the new platform upgrade coming in just days members will be able to conveniently access the lessons and drills on just about any device!
TS
Solid, Thx for the Tip!!
My pleasure - I'm glad you enjoyed it!!
Tom
A very enjoyable and informative lesson. You make it look so easy and I only wish I could turn my 73 year old shoulders as much as you youngsters can. A clean, crisp contact is an addicting feeling as you have said and I only wish I could feel it more often on the course. But, I'll take this lesson and try to implement it as well as I can. Thanks for being a great example from whom to learn.
PS Another reason to like your videos is your lack of a thick British, Irish, or Scottish accent. For some others' videos, I have to turn on closed captions to understand what they're saying.
LOL! You may get the occasional dose of lunacy here, but it will generally be devoid of accents (from your perspective, anyway). 😎

As Always Tom, Excellent content! At one time, I concentrated on the left shoulder movement in my golf swing and it worked well. Then, I was told to move the backswing with the right shoulder, so I did that. Now, I am working on concentrating on the right "pec" and the left "lat" in moving the club back and through. Does this last situation work along similar lines as you are advocating in this video? The non-transfer of weight is still a work in progress as well! Always enjoy and find inspiration in your videos Tom! Keep up the good work!!
Hey John - The online school has all the answers for you. Are you ready to join? Now is a great time as a substantial upgrade to an already great learning platform is going live in the immediate future - likely within the next couple of weeks.
Thanks, and I'll see you there!!
Tom
Didn’t really think I was a shifter but I was showing my neighbor (great golfer) my swing and he noticed it right away🤣 Going to work on this for sure😘Thanks Tom for these great videos 😘
Information is power, Sheila, and now that you know you've really got something to build on! And by the way, this is why I routinely recommend the regular use of video in range sessions.
Here's a recent video on the weight-forward component: ruclips.net/video/5PvR1XRVcGI/видео.html
Really, though, the online school is the best place to learn this swing properly and sequentially in a comprehensive, structured environment. The step-by-step, position-by-position detail you’ll get there is far superior to haphazardly piecing things together through a series of YT videos. Work through the drills, keep the video rolling, and your swing will soon be the envy of your neighbor... 😎
Tom
@@SagutoGolf thanks💗
Great vidéo as usual Tom! My question is: do you think single lenght irons can help to make it simplier? Then where do place your ball for standard iron lenght? Thank you very much Tom!
I'm glad you enjoyed it!!
There are some very accomplished players in my online school's members forum who swear by their single-length irons in this swing system. I've not personally tried them, but I can certainly see how they would be quite compatible.
While you do have some leeway, 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.

I've been hitting the ball much better after the shoulder surgery, 4 lessons from a pro and of course, a few simple tips from Tom. I seem to play better on my own and when I'm in bi weekly tournaments, I have 3 or 4 blow up holes......frustrating. I'm now going to work on the mental part of the game
I'm very glad to learn of your improvement, Dan!
An excellent book that may help you with your overall approach to the game and navigating through the hiccups is "Fearless Golf: Conquering the Mental Game" by Dr. Gio Valiante. I’ve recommended it to many of my online school members and have received excellent feedback from them. Another book that I like is "Play Your Best Golf Now" by Lynn Marriott & Pia Nilsson.

@SagutoGolf thank you, I'm going to check out to book and probably sign up soon. Taking a trip to Japan soon, after I'm back
Sounds great, Dan! Have a safe and fabulous trip!!
Tom, in your "Don’t TURN Your Hips in the Downswing" video, you described the motion as a 'shift'....shift your left hip towards target, do not turn....now, you refer to shoulder turn but no hip shift. Can you clarify? BTW--I love your videos!
There's no conflict at all. I simply cannot possibly cover each swing component in every video!! 😎
In the downswing we get that targetward thrust of the lower body while the upper torso remains in place, thereby preserving our swing center and low point. (The technical term for this is "disassociation".) This action curtails premature hip rotation, keeps the club traveling on the proper path, inhibits the loss of lag through early extension, and facilitates the extension of the spine through the zone - a tremendously powerful move.
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 comprehensive, 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.

Hey Tom!
Love the video and content! I have noticed you have gone to an oversized grip for a few months. Would love a video about your thoughts and advice about grips
Hi Matthew,
I switched to JumboMax Ultralite grips in extra-large last year. I wanted to give them a try for a few reasons, including the fact that DeChambeau uses them and we share similar swing philosophies. Since then, I haven't looked back. I personally love the feel as well as how they help to keep my hands quiet through the zone. Beyond that - and as they relate to grip pressure - the Jumbos are large enough that my fingertips don't wrap all the way around and press into my hands, which is a definite trigger of forearm tension for me in smaller grips.
Having properly-sized grips that feel comfortable and secure is critically important as they are our only connection to the object that is going to deliver us blissful joy or deep anguish, yet it is perhaps also the most overlooked equipment fitting component in golf.
Tom
Heel goed uitgelegd! Complimenten.

Tom, you have become my go to teacher. I noticed something in your swing (I think) that was mentioned in your vid about Ben Hogan. It appears to me that when you set up, you have more weight on your left foot. When you start your backswing, your tailbone moves towards the target. And when you start your downswing, your tailbone moves even more towards the target. Yes?
I'm glad to know that my instruction is resonating well with you!
Yes - here are a couple of lessons with regard to the tailbone-to-target motion:

Found your channel a few days ago, love your instructional technique, woul love to join your school, just not sure how it would work, after all theres nothing better than having a pro stood with you pointing out what he wants to do.
Hi Carl,
I'm very glad to know that you are enjoying my channel's instruction content and my teaching style!
With regard to 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. Thousands of folks across the globe are now enjoying the best golf of their lives as a result, and I'm happy to let their unsolicited testimonials tell the story: saguto.golf/p/sagutogolfreviews. Here's a link if you would like to know more about the school - saguto.golf
Think of it this way: With an in-person lesson (and I've given thousands of them), the pro is there with you for 30 minutes or an hour - typically at a pretty substantial price tag - and then they're gone. With the online school I'm there for you on-demand 24/7/365, delivering the exact lesson and drill content that you want or need to be working on at that specific time, at a "tuition" that is the same or less than what you might pay for a one-hour live session. You can rewind me, slow me down, backtrack, pause, etc. as much as you wish. With a private lesson I suppose you can ask the pro to backtrack or pause, but it'll cost you and the message may be a little different each time.

@@SagutoGolf Thank you for replying, many pro golfers would'nt bother taking time to answer, hopefully if the rain stops here in the UK and my home course is open, i'm going to give the weight forward hands low a go on Sunday. You have just shown how genuine you are by replying to my comment. I will be joining your school in April and look forward to those crispy shots ive heard so much about.
@Carl Ashley - I sincerely appreciate *_your_* response, and I am looking forward to having you in the online school!! (By the way, many school members hail from the UK)
I hope your weather improves soon so you are able to enjoy that Sunday round!
Tom
Did a hour on the range today and 100% swapped my old inconsistent style for this and lost a small amount of distance, but gained straight consistent shots. I think I can gain that distance back with a little practice.
Only club I lost a lot of distance was my driver. So lots of work left
I'm glad to know that this lesson resonated well with you - nice job incorporating it into your swing so quickly!!
I wouldn't be so concerned about distance at this juncture. Typically, once this swing is properly running on autopilot golfers experience significant increases in length. When you develop sufficient confidence in the motion that you are comfortable "giving up control", you'll be able to just trust it and let it fly. Speaking of which, if you'd really like to get on the fast track towards properly learning this swing system in a comprehensive, structured, sequential learning platform, please consider my online school. Thousands of folks across the globe are now playing the best golf of their lives as a result, and I'm happy to let their unsolicited testimonials tell the story: saguto.golf/p/sagutogolfreviews. And here's a link to my free mini course “The Top 3 Things You Need to Be a Great Ball Striker” if you’re interested in checking it out: go.saguto.golf/

Tom
You changed my swing Never had better success at the range. Appreciate you sir
Awesome!! I sincerely appreciate your kind words and I'm very glad to know that my instruction is resonating well with you!!
Thanks so much for sharing your improvement and keep up the great work!!

PS: By the way, have you checked out my FREE mini-course “The Top 3 Things You Need to Be a Great Ball Striker” yet? Here's a link in case you’re interested in learning some key aspects of this swing system I teach in a more structured manner: go.saguto.golf/
Tom,
Love your videos and have watched them for years. The more and more I watch you I can help but think this swing looks like Moe Norman’s swing. Many, if not, 90% of the things you teach can be found in Moe’s swing. I know you are a disciple of S&T, but it is almost unbelievable how very similar you swing thoughts are to Moe. Just an observation! Keep rockin on my brother!!!
I sincerely appreciate the comparison to Mr. Norman, a true ball striking legend!!
While the Stack and Tilt system I teach shares a one plane feature, it is definitely different from the "single plane" version patterned after Mr. Norman's swing. For example, the straight-line relationship of the arms and club shaft from the DTL view is a trademark of Mr. Norman's setup that one will not typically find in S&T instruction. However, there are also some definite shared features - particularly with regard to the very centered, connected, weight-forward nature of both methods.
Stack and Tilt is a complete golf swing system based on data from the best golf ball strikers - and Moe Norman would certainly be included among them. The S&T folks determined, based on a study of these ball striking legends, that they all had 3 things in common (the 3 main golf fundamentals): 1. Hit the ground in the same spot every time (consistent crispy contact) 2. Have enough length to play the golf course well (power) 3. Be able to have a predictable curve (accuracy). A player MUST be able to do those 3 things to be good at golf, and Mr. Norman certainly did!
Thanks!
Tom
Step 1: Weight Forward
Step 2: More Forward
Step 3: EVERY OUNCE OF YOUR WEIGHT FORWARD!
Step 4: Success
Yep - that pretty much sums it up..... 😆😆
Love the videos, quick question regarding your swing training, you frequently discuss against the idea of weight shift and focusing on a favor of the weight on the lead leg, is your head ever suppose to be behind the ball in the backswing? seems difficult to do both.
Hi John,
I'm glad you are enjoying my channel's content!
Here is a lesson on the head featuring Jack Nicklaus' most important tip: ruclips.net/video/E5csidjztzg/видео.html
I hope that helps!
Tom
We love the Saguto Tempo! 👏🏼
Thanks Daniel!
Now, get out there and find the tempo that works best for you!!
Tom
Instant subscribe. It's like you're calling me out for everything I did wrong in my golf round yesterday...
LOL!! Yes - that was me watching from behind that tree that you hit on the right side...... 😎
Thanks - I'm very glad to have you on board!!
Tom
Best golf teacher online!
Thank you, Marie - I sincerely appreciate that!!
Tom
I’m thinking about joint the school. Y question is. How will I know if I’m actually implementing the techniques you teach? Does the school require me to get a camera and record my swing ?
Hi Dan,
The online school is a self-paced, comprehensive, structured, sequential learning platform with lessons and drills to guide you every step of the way. It does not require that you record your swing, though I do highly recommend doing so to confirm that you are executing the motions properly and to monitor your progress, and also if you wish to submit your swing videos to me for analysis (a separate service I offer that many of my members use regularly to ensure that their swing is progressing on the correct track)
Here's a link if you would like to know more about the school - saguto.golf
I hope to see you there!
Tom
Sure feels like I am hitting it better doing it this way. If you have that little relaxed feel in the wrist just before the release it really seems to add more speed.
Yes - there ought not be any stiffness or tension in the wrists (or anywhere, for that matter). This allows the arms, wrists, hands, and club to simply go along for the ride and respond accordingly as if on autopilot. The power accumulators - including a proper full wrist hinge - will then naturally load and fire with no contrived manipulations or precise timing necessary, thereby returning the face to the position pre-established at address. It's called "giving up control to gain control", and it's the formula for consistently blissful ball striking and seemingly effortless power.
Thanks for sharing your improvement and keep up the great work!!
Tom
Fore on that alignment stick. Every...single...time. Great video Tom!
Thanks Jason - I'm glad you enjoyed it!!!
Tom
The concept makes great sense! I’m a member of your online golf school. What’s the best drill/video in your library to help ensure head remains still and shoulders turn?
Hi Robert,
It's a cumulative process that begins with ingraining the proper setup. From there it's a matter of learning the tilting, turning, and extending motions that you find in Chapter 2 of Golf Swing Simplified or Part II of Get Out and Go Play. Once you've mastered those you should be able to execute the swing with minimal head movement. To get a feel for the coordinating of these elements you can reverse engineer it as follows: Without a club in your hands rest the top of your forehead against a wall to keep it in place. Without allowing your head to move execute the forward side tilting motion and watch what happens. Magically your lead shoulder has turned downward, and your spine has extended.
By the way, have you joined the SagutoGolf Members Forum (which is included with the online school) yet and begun engaging with other golfers in the school? If you've not already done so 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 in this fun and tremendously supportive community and participate in the ongoing great dialogue on a variety of swing- and game-related topics. You can start discussions, contribute to existing threads, post accomplishments and 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.
Tom
Great video Tom. You did a series of videos on Ben Hogan’s swing so would you do likewise for Jack Nicklaus?
Thanks - I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I may feature Mr. Nicklaus and/or his tips in future videos as I have in the past. Will it be to the level of a "series"? Probably not. That's not at all a dig against the Golden Bear or his legendary swing. It's simply a matter of producing the type of content that my audience tells me resonates best with them.
Cheers!
Tom
I have been working on this. It part of my back swing drill. Pain in the booty, but when I hit it nice it’sssss GRRRRREAT!
If there's "a pain in the butt" from correctly using muscles that have not previously been deployed in your golf swing, then that's a good thing. If on the other hand it was lower back soreness, then something would be amiss as this is a very body-friendly motion.
Keep up the GRRRRREAT work!!
TS
Thank you. Do you think this works for short games also?
My pleasure, and yes - absolutely!
Tom
I love the way it looks almost effortless. I’ve been trying it at the range, but I must be shifting a little because I will top the ball. How do I keep from rising up pulling my head off of the ball how to thank you you do great.
This body-friendly, powerful, consistent, low-maintenance swing system is designed to provide a lifetime of enjoyment for all golfers, Joseph, and since it is rooted in physics, geometry, and human physiology it does not discriminate by age or ability - from kids to seniors and everyone in between, inclusive of the best players in the world.
I want everyone out there to experience the same consistent and seemingly effortless ball striking bliss that I am enjoying. For starters - and perhaps with an embedded answer to your question - here is a link to my FREE mini-course “The Top 3 Things You Need to Be a Great Ball Striker” where you can learn some key aspects of the swing system I teach in a more structured manner: go.saguto.golf/

Just found this channel, instant subscribe. Damn, this made everything so basic and simple...
Unfortunately, Jason, 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....... 😎
Thanks for your subscription - I'm very glad to have you onboard!!
