Seriously young Tom Globally the most natural God given talent .and for Young Tom to impart his incredible skill with a natural born relaxed humour is beyond priceless .I am 80 playing the best golf in my life all thanks to Young Tom .in Scotland the home of golf .and at one point lucky enough to have played at all the major Scottish Courses .I stay 15 minutes from Gleneagles my course now voted the second best Golf Resort in the world. and If I may say to play on the same course that the Europe won the 2014 Ryder Cup .is very special LOL .but many Americans come over and Play St Andrews -Carnoustie - Muirfield - and King Barns - Gleneagles .the world famous James Braid golfer 5 times open champion was asked to design and build the Kings and Queens courses .all dug by hand by Irish navies and Horses and Carts it is beyond words . they were opened 1st May 1919 .in 1921 the first the first International between the USA and the UK was played .going on to be the Ryder Cup .amazing continuing history .We have great fun there all summer playing with folks across the pond . and have miniature Ryder Cups .it is really a magical place walking on the same courses as all the golf legends .PS I am not a salesman for Gleneagles .but if only Yong Tom could get here it would be a fabulous adventure .Cheers from Scotland

I'm very glad to know that this lesson resonated with you, Jeremy; excellent job incorporating it into your swing! Indeed, much of what I teach is about eliminating swing-wrecking variables. In fact, if we pre-establish the connections properly in the setup and have a foundational base that facilitates a full centered turn without restriction, then once we've ingrained the correct actions through sequential drilling and repetition we can entrust the motion to the big muscles and allow the arms, wrists, hands, and club to simply go along for the ride and respond accordingly as if on autopilot. The power accumulators - including the proper arm, wrist, and hand action - 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 so much for your support and for sharing your ball striking improvement, and keep up the great work!! 💪💪 Tom PS: By the way, since my channel's content is connecting well with you, I am confident that you will also benefit from my FREE mini course - “The Top 3 Things You Need to Be a Great Ball Striker”.: go.saguto.golf.

That is OUTSTANDING, Leonard!! 💪💪 My lessons on this "trail arm magic" have helped countless golfers across the globe to overcome wide variety of issues and experience great ball striking. I'm very glad to know that this concept is performing well for you, too! By the way, with regard to that back surgery, I would be remiss if I didn't mention 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, 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, position-by-position from setup to finish. 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 - are now enjoying the best golf of their lives as a result and their unsolicited testimonials tell the story quite well: saguto.golf/p/sagutogolfreviews.

And if you'd like to first "dip a toe in the water" prior to diving into the school, 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/ That is where you can learn some key aspects of the swing system I teach in a more structured manner. 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 sharing your dramatic ball striking results and keep up the fantastic work!! Tom

I'm very glad to know that my instruction content and teaching style are resonating with you, and I'm thrilled for your improvement!! Here's the thing, though: In actuality this body-friendly, powerful, consistent, low-maintenance swing system is rooted in physics, geometry, and human physiology, and it is modeled on empirical observations of the game's greatest ball strikers. As such it does not discriminate by age or ability - from kids to seniors and everyone in between, inclusive of the best players in the world. Watch any Tour event on TV and you'll see a significant number of players executing these motions, a fact corroborated by just how many of them have a very centered swing with the lead knee flexing and the trail leg straightening during the backswing, their lead arms on or very close to their tilted shoulder planes, and their hands deep behind their trail shoulder at the top.

I'm glad to know that this lesson resonated with you, Ryan! 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 practice range footage of me hitting a 7 iron, 3 wood, and driver: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pZaopsZ-3rSXpmw.html Beyond that, if you search the word "drive" on this channel you'll see some related content. Oftentimes when golfers are hitting everything well except for the driver it can be attributed to one of the following: 1) Their hips are not continuing their lateral slide through impact. This is common with the driver 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, inhibiting any further necessary forward weight loading (we should be 80/20 forward halfway down, 90/10 at impact, and 95/5 in the finish), changing the low point and rerouting the club into a steeper angle of attack (AoA). This can produce a variety of undesirable results including fat and thin contact, topped shots and popups, straight pulls, and “banana” slices. Of great importance is keeping your upper torso/head in place (in other words, not moving towards the target from a face-on view) while the hips execute the lateral slide action. This preserves the swing center and the desired shallow AoA. 2) They are not allowing the length of the club to dictate the backswing path and are getting too steep as a result. The shaft of the driver is considerably longer than the other clubs and thus requires more of an around the body backswing as established by the shaft plane at address. It may "feel" flat as they take it back along the shaft plane for the first few feet, but as long as they maintain the "weight forward, shoulder down, and hands in" components while allowing the club to work around them, it should put them in the proper position at the top so they can attack the ball from the inside. (A good feel for that lead shoulder is "down and in, under the chin".) 3) Many believe - and some even teach - that we must try to "hit up on the ball" with the driver. However, consider that in our stock setup with the driver the hands are even with the inside of the lead thigh (as they are with all clubs when playing a standard shot) and our ball position is even with the inside of the heel of the lead foot. This presets a very slight degree of forward shaft lean with the driver. Beyond that, the ball is behind the zero-point of the swing (which is even with the lead shoulder), meaning that without any contrived manipulations the club will still be on its descent - albeit very close to flat - at impact. So, perhaps with the exception of folks with slower swing speeds - or those Long Drive participants teeing it extra high and hitting maybe 1-2 balls out of 10 onto a 60-yard wide "fairway" - in general the path is still ever so slightly down. In fact, the PGA Tour average with the driver is actually minus (e.g.: downward) 1.5 degrees - nearly level - and it should feel level - but slightly down nonetheless. (Here is an article on Ping’s website addressing this topic - ping.com/en-us/blogs/proving-grounds/optimal-launch-and-spin#:~:text=According%20to%20Trackman%2C%20PGA%20Tour,85%25%20ball%2Dflight%20laws ) I hope that helps!

Thanks - I'm glad you enjoyed it! It's not that I "forgot" - it's simply that I can't mention everything in every video without having my audience gloss over from information overload! 😆 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, step-by-step, position-by-position learning platform like the structured curriculum of my online school, which I strongly recommend to anyone who truly wishes to get on the proper (and fast) path towards owning this swing as it will make for a far more efficient and enjoyable learning process rather than haphazardly trying to piece things together through my KZfaq content. 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 - are now enjoying the best golf of their lives as a result of the school, and their unsolicited testimonials tell the story quite well: saguto.golf/p/sagutogolfreviews.

@@SagutoGolf Thanks Tom. I AM going to give your online training a go. I really appreciate your videos.

I appreciate that and I'm very glad to know that this lesson video resonated with you! With regard to your issue, 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. 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". While there are certainly videos on my channel that address this topic, a better option would be 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

I find that every few weeks I need to come back and re watch a views of Tom's video just to refresh myself as I fall into bad habits. Plus, and I know Tom doesn't focus much on this, if at all, but ball striking is only half the battle. It's the short game chipping and putting that is really needed to complete the puzzle. Today I went 44 on the front 9 and 36 on the back. Different was 17 putts vs 11 and 7 out of 7 "up and downs"

@manbearpig7359 Same here. I have watched his videos over and over again. My short game has been good for years but irons and driver just can't get consistent. I shoot around 80 every time because of my short game but it could be so much better if I can just figure out the rest.

@hollywood_golf You sound like the opposite of me. I drive and strike pretty good (and Tom has helped a lot what that) but my short game is inconsistent. It's actually almost a mental battle with me. If I mess up a chip or putt early it effects my confidence for the whole day

@@manbearpig7359 We would be a great scramble team 🤣

What I teach is a complete golf swing system, not a series of tips, band-aids, and fixes for field dressing swing wounds. As such, the transformation takes time as we work to gradually eradicate those stubborn ghosts of swings past. It's a very worthwhile process, though, as it ultimately leads us to the land of consistent ball striking bliss. That is also why the sequential, comprehensive, structured learning platform of the school 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 school is where you will find very detailed instruction and drills that take you through the entire swing step-by-step, position-by-position from setup to finish, along with diagnostic and corrective tools for resolving common swing, contact, and ball flight issues, and much more.

I appreciate that, and yes - this is a great way to reboot your system out there when you sense that it's beginning to crash mid-round. Thanks for your validating remarks!! Tom

I'm very glad to learn of your ball striking improvement with the irons. Nice job!! 💪💪 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 practice range footage of me hitting a 7 iron, 3 wood, and driver: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pZaopsZ-3rSXpmw.html Oftentimes when golfers are hitting everything well except for the longer clubs - which is quite normal early in the swing change process as a golfer gets used to applying the weight-forward concept to the fairway woods and driver - it can be attributed to one of the following: 1) 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, inhibiting any further necessary forward weight loading (we should be 80/20 forward halfway down, 90/10 at impact, and 95/5 in the finish), changing the low point and rerouting the club into a steeper angle of attack. This can produce a variety of undesirable results including fat and thin contact, topped shots and popups, straight pulls, and “banana” slices. Of great importance is keeping your upper torso/head in place (in other words, not moving towards the target from a face-on view) while the hips execute the lateral slide action. This preserves the swing center and the desired shallow AoA. 2) 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 they take it back along the shaft plane for the first few feet, but as long as they maintain the "weight forward, shoulder down, and hands in" components while allowing the club to work around them, it should put them in the proper position at the top so they can attack the ball from the inside. (A good feel for that lead shoulder is "down and in, under the chin".) 3) As it relates to the driver, many believe - and some even teach - that we must try to "hit up on the ball". However, consider that in our stock setup with the driver the hands are even with the inside of the lead thigh (as they are with all clubs when playing a standard shot) and our ball position is even with the inside of the heel of the lead foot. This presets a very slight degree of forward shaft lean with the driver. Beyond that, the ball is behind the zero-point of the swing (which is even with the lead shoulder), meaning that without any contrived manipulations the club will still be on its descent - albeit very close to flat - at impact. So, perhaps with the exception of folks with slower swing speeds - or those Long Drive participants teeing it extra high and hitting maybe 1-2 balls out of 10 onto a 60-yard wide "fairway" - in general the path is still ever so slightly down. In fact, the PGA Tour average with the driver is actually minus (e.g.: downward) 1.5 degrees - nearly level - and it should feel level - but slightly down nonetheless. (Here is an article on Ping’s website addressing this topic - ping.com/en-us/blogs/proving-grounds/optimal-launch-and-spin#:~:text=According%20to%20Trackman%2C%20PGA%20Tour,85%25%20ball%2Dflight%20laws ) By the way, if you'd really like to get on the fast track towards properly learning this swing system in a comprehensive, sequential platform, please consider my online school.

I'm glad to know that this lesson helped you! Actually, I bet that with the proper setup you can move those shoulders more than you think. For example, flaring both feet out approximately 20 degrees with the knees similarly angled outward 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 really appreciate your reply Tom. I played a couple years in college using the 'square to square" method , which gave me a little insight into stack and tilt. I have used a lot of that training with the weight on the left foot (right handed) so picking up your instruction and making application has been a smooth transition so far. I am working on your watermelon suggestion (The Best Downswing Drill) relative to downswing. Keeping my trail arm attached to my side has generated some really good shots and has brought great encouragement into continuing my golf journey. Even at 79 I will consider the annual lessons as I go forward. Thanks again for the encouragement and the great lessons!

One more practice session today. Hit a sand wedge. 2 things! NO GROUNDERS, NO TOPPING THE BALL, NO FAT HITS, my normal shots. And 2, a divot in front of the ball feels SOOOOOO good! 😊😊😊

Well, you've just got to know how to search for what you're looking for here..... 😎 - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q6hzrJh7qs61eXU.html - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l7KRnJynl6yUpoE.html Yes - with a neutral grip a flat or slightly bowed lead wrist condition is most supportive of creating and maintaining that trail wrist angle, but ideally we should train that to happen on autopilot as any type of forced manipulation introduces a variable to the swing. Also, be aware that if you have a strong grip then the lead wrist is going to have a pronounced cupping at address, so taking that to a bowed position is going to shut the face and thereby require compensatory actions at impact in order to not pull the ball into the next zip code. As for not letting the hand do anything, you are spot on! Set it, forgets it, and simply "allow" the wrist hinge to happen without forcing anything. In other words, if we pre-establish the connections properly in the setup and have a foundational base that facilitates a full centered turn without restriction, then once we've ingrained the correct actions through sequential drilling and repetition we can entrust the motion to the big muscles and allow the arms, wrists, hands, and club to simply go along for the ride and respond accordingly as if on autopilot. The power accumulators - including the proper arm, wrist, and hand action - 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.

@@SagutoGolf this certainly helps. The pull issue is 100% my issue. I tend to do strong lead hand and although the shots are flush, they are almost always a pull or a pull draw kind of thing. I have to really tell myself to do nothing with the hands to get it to start right. More videos you can suggest on this would be great. I am a premium member as well but haven't actually looked since you redid the library layout (maybe 1.5 years now). Rarely a slice. Always a pull. Crispy, but pully.

I'm glad you enjoyed the episode, Frank! Here are some setup keys that should answer your questions: We should feel evenly balanced between heel and toe in both feet. This balance is achieved by first setting our knees over the toes (or at least over the toe end of our shoelaces) to activate the ground connection, and then pushing our butt out to incline the hips and chest so that a relationship with the ball is established. The arms hang down naturally from the shoulders with all clubs except the driver, for which we push them out an inch or so to encourage more of the around-the-body motion needed for that lengthy shaft. We address the ball stacked shoulders over hips over knees with our weight balanced 50/50. We then simply bump our hips one inch towards the target while keeping everything else in place. This presets a little more weight forward while retaining the stacked relationship. Both feet are flared outward approximately 10-20 degrees, with the knees similarly angled outward. This orientation facilitates a stress-free, flowing motion back and through, resulting in a very body-friendly, consistent, powerful swing.

I noticed the same thing. I've never seen anyone with both feet turned that far out. Not a criticism, just an observation, but normally the feet are turned that way to allow easier hip rotation, but if your weight is forward & not transferring to the trail foot, does your foot flare matter? Something else about set-up I noticed from my own, assuming your heads are offset, if your grip is neutral & the clubface is square at set-up, the handle of the club presets the proper amount of shaft lean to start the swing which should be approximately at your forward pocket. When you show impact position, it looks like it's the same as set-up. Am I correct or not seeing it properly? Thanks Tom.

The feet, the tilt ... it's all part of the Stack and Tilt system

Glad you enjoyed it! I think your answer can be found beginning at around the 1:10 mark in this video where you see the centered, "stacked" relationship of the knees, hips, shoulders, and head. Your motion should not cause that swing center to drift nor result in any sensation of losing balance.

Glad you enjoyed it, Seth! With regard to your question, we first need to be aware that camera angles can greatly skew the viewer's perspective on ball position. That aside, while this system affords you 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. As for hand position, it remains consistent - even with the inside of your lead thigh - no matter which club you are hitting. Additionally, the lead arm and club shaft should form a straight line from the face-on view, giving your setup a lowercase "y" look. I hope that helps! Tom

@@SagutoGolf thank you so much sir!! Can’t wait to try it!

Why would you ever think to cheat on me to begin with??.....😎 Seriously, please be careful in navigating the muddied, overly-complicated, oft-conflicting realm of golf instruction. That is not a dig against any other teachers out there. It's simply best to commit to a system - whether it be this body-friendly, powerful, consistent, low-maintenance method or another - put your blinders on, and stick to it.

Perfect!! The Colonel's secret recipe of 11 herbs and spices succinctly pared down to 3 simple thoughts!! Thanks - I'm glad you enjoyed the episode. Now fire up that deep fryer and make it an extra crispy season!! 💪💪 Tom

I'm very glad to know that this lesson resonated with you, Vince! Indeed - 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. This system certainly allows for some transfer of pressure into the trail side during the takeaway. After all, we are moving the mass of the arms and club backwards during that initial stage of the swing. Some like to sense the dynamic pressure shifts; others prefer the feel of a gradual increasing of weight load into the lead leg from the start. However, in either scenario the key here is that we do not allow our mass - and thereby our swing center and low point - to drift back at any point. In the swing 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 load into the transition (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 motion. Thanks for your message and keep up the great work!

It is essentially the same swing with every club, Doug; 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 practice range footage of me hitting a 7 iron, 3 wood, and driver: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pZaopsZ-3rSXpmw.html Beyond that, if you search the word "drive" on this channel you'll see some related content.

@@SagutoGolf Thanks Tom! - As an "experienced" golfer your insight has been great. I may sign-up for your online course again - yes I did the course back in 2019/2020 before the back gave out and of course C. Krispy!

Hi Scotty, It depends on how you are learning (i.e.: through these channel videos or through the comprehensive, step-by-step platform of the online school) and also how far along you are in the learning process. Typically, once this swing is running properly on autopilot golfers experience significant increases in length. If you are relatively early in your transition then you are likely still ingraining your "feels", thinking mechanical thoughts, and trying to overcome "ghosts of swings past". When you develop sufficient confidence in the motion that you are comfortable "giving up control", then the power accumulators will be loading properly on autopilot and you'll be able to just trust it and let it fly. At that point you'll have made that giant leap from playing "golf swing" to playing target-focused golf, and by then you should be seeing your yardages increase through the bag as they routinely do for golfers enrolled in the school. Here is a compilation of Power Drills from my channel: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aqmleK9j2qm6h3U.html Really, though, if you're not already enrolled the online school is the best place to learn this swing properly in a comprehensive, structured environment.

I am an 80 year old prodigy of young Tom . playing the best golf in my life thanks to Young Tom .I will not mention the money I have spent on SO Called golf lessons every one shows you something different but that is how they make a living LOL . every demo from Young Tom is amazing keep it simple every club in the bag .even I understood the engineering cause and effect of the golf swing .As far as I and countless others can confirm Young Tom can walk on water .look no where else ❤

I can tell you, as a member of the online course, that he starts at the beginning and goes through everything a beginner would need to know to get a successful start and beyond. Even as an experienced player I started at the beginning of the course as everything builds upon itself. It's a great course.

His online school is perfect for beginners. He does a great job of starting you with the bare basics and building on them.

I simply "allow" the wrists to work without forcing anything, Michael. In other words, if we pre-establish the connections properly in the setup and have a foundational base that facilitates a full centered turn without restriction, then once we've ingrained the correct actions through sequential drilling and repetition we can entrust the motion to the big muscles and allow the arms, wrists, hands, and club to simply go along for the ride and respond accordingly as if on autopilot. The power accumulators - including the proper arm, wrist, and hand action - 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.
