Welcome to this greatest of games, Jeremy!! There's a lot of great information in that "Five Lessons" book, but there have also been many misinterpretations that have led numerous golfers - and their ball flight - astray. I do my best to take what Mr. Hogan conveyed in the book as his "feels", apply it to the reality of what he actually did in his swing, and translate it into something we all can learn well from. Because if we can get Hogan right there are tremendously effective swing keys to be garnered. By the way, due to their popularity I've combined my Hogan lesson videos into a playlist series on this channel. Here's the link if you are interested: kzfaq.info/sun/PLV62KxT7Mp7IyNDRp0hZK1F1OScdXx-u1 Thanks for your message, keep up the great work, and - most importantly - have fun out there!!

Yes!! No need for - or benefit to - micromanaging the swing with the hands and wrists, Mike. In fact, with regard to this erroneous notion that we need to affect some type of active hand-rolling “release", given the inability of most folks to spend sufficient time at the range to lock in the required exactness of such an action this misguided thought has led countless golfers astray. It's not something that even the vast majority of pros are trying to consciously manufacture during the split second that the clubhead is traveling a distance of approximately 6' from parallel to parallel at speeds in excess of 100 mph. The forearms will naturally "trade places" from pre- to post-impact, but this should not be construed as a contrived move (although many a casual observer has gone down that rabbit hole). There really ought not be any active manipulation of the hands/wrists through the zone and attempts to precisely time any such rolling or flipping - which does nothing for swing speed - have relegated many an amateur to the vast abyss of inconsistency and frustration.

Tom is very busy, so just trying to help. The swing is the same for every club, so basically nothing changes from club to club other than the length of the shaft, which then changes the angle of the swing plane. If you take your favorite pro golfer, and watch them swing in slow motion from the back, you will see this difference wedge to wood.

@Jtw18_ - I sincerely appreciate your kind words, and I'm very glad to know that my instruction content and teaching style are resonating with you!! Congratulations on your new irons! And yes - as @pointzerotwo accurately conveyed in reply to you, 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 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 aspects of the system I teach in a more structured manner: go.saguto.golf/ This will provide a nice foundational understanding of the swing keys that will ultimately get you mashing the ball through your entire bag.

The course vlogs are rather difficult for me to justify from a cost-benefit perspective. They take considerable time to record and produce, and they just don't garner anywhere near the viewership and interest in comparison to the lesson videos. I must keep the desires of my general audience in mind in this regard. That's not to say I won't do another at some point, but my primary focuses are supporting my online school and its members while creating quality instruction content for this channel's subs and visitors. Here is a chipping lesson video that has helped a lot of golfers improve their greenside performance: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l8eklaRknrHYgpc.html Beyond that, you may also find a few videos if you enter the word "chip", “putt”, or "bunker" into this channel's search bar.

I'm glad you enjoyed it! It is certainly acceptable to have a few inches of space between the trail elbow and the torso at the top, just like I have in my swing. The key is that the arm has not lost its "tucked" orientation and the elbow is definitely not flying away, meaning that it is in perfect position to reconnect in the downswing. "Gluing" it in there is a "feel" that is necessary for most amateurs to achieve this desired action - at least until they have properly ingrained it.

@@SagutoGolf Thanks so much, Tom. Strangely enough since watching this video and rereading Hogan's book, I just shot my best 9 hole score ever of 1 over 37! I have never broken 40 before. (15 handicap) Thanks again for your videos as they have helped me so much!

@@SagutoGolf Right on

I appreciate that, and I'm very glad to know that this lesson resonated and connected those dots for you! You're absolutely correct. 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 again for your message and support. I hope this lesson performs well when you put it into practice!! Tom

LOL! Thanks Rob - Keeping folks 😂 in this greatest of games is my primary mission, and I'm very glad to know that it's being accomplished in you!! Tom

Thanks - I'm glad you enjoyed it! I choose to "stay in my lane" when it comes to other lesson content out there. That's certainly not a slap against any other methodologies; it's simply that the system I teach is rooted in physics and geometry, and it is modeled on empirical observations of the game's greatest ball strikers. Having said that, with regard to this notion that we need to affect some type of active hand-rolling “release", given the inability of most folks to spend sufficient time at the range to lock in the required exactness of such an action this misguided thought has led countless golfers astray. It's not something that even the vast majority of pros are trying to consciously manufacture during the split second that the clubhead is traveling a distance of approximately 6' from parallel to parallel at speeds in excess of 100 mph. The forearms will naturally "trade places" from pre- to post-impact as demonstrated in this video, but this should not be construed as a contrived move (although many a casual observer has gone down that rabbit hole). There really ought not be any active manipulation of the hands through the zone and attempts to precisely time any such rolling or flipping - which does nothing for swing speed - have relegated many an amateur to the vast abyss of inconsistency and frustration.

If you are swinging and slinging the same way with every club, Donald, then I would check your setup first: ball position, hand position, and face angle. 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 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 aspects of the system I teach in a more structured manner: go.saguto.golf/ This will provide a nice foundational understanding of the swing keys that will ultimately get you mashing the ball through your entire bag.

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 Mine is not a 3/4 backswing! We don't need to force ourselves to get to "parallel" with this swing, and fighting our body in an attempt to do so can result in a variety of issues. If we execute this swing properly we will have created width and plenty of distance for that club to travel by taking it in deep, and that enables us to then harness the tremendous power source known as "angular momentum". Additionally, because the ideal downswing path is the ideal downswing path regardless of how we take the club back, there should not be any issue with trajectory if the swing is correctly executed and your equipment is well-matched to you. In fact, we can flight the ball as high as we wish in this system.

Awesome, Mark, and thanks so much for validating this swing system with your personal experience!! Thanks for your message and keep up the fantastic work!! 💪💪 Tom

That is awesome!! I appreciate your kind words regarding my instruction in general and this video in particular, and I am thrilled for your ongoing progress!! As for your shot shape, 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 is the primary influencer of the ball's starting line and face relative to path determines direction and degree of curvature. Thanks for the update and keep up the fabulous work!! Tom

I'm very glad to know that you are enjoying my instruction content, Mark! It's an interesting scenario, but you're definitely not alone! Just ask Phil (from the opposite side, of course)... 😎 Short of saying that you need to train your trail hand to hit - which I realize may be difficult - I would recommend you work on maintaining your connections and allowing the big muscles to bring you into impact. 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. Here are a few lessons on this topic: One of the keys in your situation is to not allow that strong arm - which probably seems to have a mind of its own in anxiously wanting to take over when you're trying to bust one - to jump ahead of the lower body and throw the entire downswing out of sequence, because if it does you're likely taking regular trips to Pull-Slice City. If you can train it instead to be a "slave" to the big muscles to the point where the shaft is parallel to the ground on the way down, then you should be in position to hit hard with the dominant hand as if it were a tennis backhand shot or throwing a frisbee. While there are certainly videos on my channel that address these various "feels", 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 I hope that helps!

One problem I do have is getting used to hitting the ball harder. Having Never hit turf before,( I’m 75), always trying to hit clean! , hitting ball/turf is hard to get used to. But I LOVE the more rounded swing- it feels flat to start with, but Much better after a few shots. Thanks Tom. Really enjoying your vids. I’m trying to get my 2 brothers to try it too, but at 80, they are loath to try!!!😂😂

Practice. Thousands of range balls. Don't listen to anyone about anything, just trust your body and instincts to guide you.

@johnyi1636 - I'm very glad to know that this lesson resonated with you! With regard to those chunks, consider the following possibilities: 1) Ball position is too far forward, 2) Hands are too far back at address (they should be in line with the inside of your lead thigh), 3) The swing center and low point are drifting backwards at some point during the motion (face-on video will help you determine this), 4) The downswing is steep and/or the path is out-to-in, 5) Early extension of the trail arm during the downswing (also known as "casting"), 6) Flipping/scooping through the zone, 7) Loss of relationship with the ball (shoulder angle flattening, loss of tilt). Though not an exhaustive list, those are the primary causes of fats, thins, and tops. By the way, always begin with the setup - in this case the first two possibilities - prior to diving into a swing intervention. While there are certainly videos on my channel that address the various causes, 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 Beyond that, the Precision Impact that I demonstrated in this video is an excellent training aid that will help you to neutralize the cause and overcome your issue and crisp up your ball striking.

I teach that as well, Craig. For example, this episode from my channel's archives featuring the "Watermelon Drill". I do my best to convey multiple “feels” or thoughts throughout the swing wherever possible. We're all different physiologically and psychologically, and something that resonates effectively with one golfer may not necessarily work for another. However, no matter the variety of suggested feels/thoughts offered for a particular element of the swing, they are all directed at getting different golfers to achieve the desired positions, motions, and results.

If properly deployed as demonstrated here, the trail arm can provide a substantial amount of force without adversely affecting shot shape. This is what Mr. Hogan meant when he famously quipped that if he started the downswing properly he wished he'd had three right hands to power the strike.

@@SagutoGolf thanks Tom. Plan on signing up as have had a lot of success with your videos and want to know details. Seems you have kept some elements of Stack and Tilt but have gotten away from pushing back and pelvis forward which is a back killer. Took a clinic with Mike and Andy back in the day and they were incredible but think your simple modifications make it more useful. Thanks again

Hi Chuck, Your shanks can be the result of a variety of actions: 1) You may be too steep on the downswing and thereby exposing the hosel to the ball; 2) Conversely, your downswing path may be too in to out; 3) You may be rolling the face open during the backswing; 4) Your wrists may not be hinging properly (which is often the case when a golfer tries to manufacture or force the hinge rather than just allowing it to happen); 5) You are setting up with the ball positioned at the heel of the club; 6) You are losing your pre-established relationship with the ball (i.e.: a deficiency in the Tilt component); 7) More... What I'm getting at is that there are a number of potential causes, and without actually seeing your swing it's impossible for me to identify the culprit behind those hosel rockets.

As you well know by now, Thomas, I'm all about each golfer finding their own unique feels to deliver consistently KFCrispy ball striking. I watched your video, and if you are consistently able to execute that move and it is producing the desired results, then I say "twirl away"! Thank for sharing! Cheers, Tom

I appreciate that, Andy! To be clear, we are not rolling the face open, and as such it remains square throughout the motion. The "external rotation" of the trail arm is what keeps the swing on plane and puts us in great position for a properly shallowed and powerful downswing. The hands and wrists simply react 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.

LOL!! One of these days we're finally gonna get you to ditch that TwoPlanePsychoDrop mode for good.... 😆😆

@@SagutoGolf confession time. I recently hurt my lead wrist really bad due to my TPPD move. Bad enough that I can't hit balls right now or swing with any real purpose, but can work so that's good. It's the neutral to bowed move in the transistion that kills. Gave it five days of rest, wasn't enough...Sooooo..at the very least I will be in OP Zorro mode upon return 🤺 It's all so amusing. The main reason I converted to a TP mode was to be more body friendly. I do find stating vertical and using gravity to be more shoulder and torso friendly. And i just love the effortless look and feel to it. And it reminds me of all the cool laid back golfers of the 80s....But the friggin release is of course more wristy....ayeyaiyai 🙃

I don't believe I said anything about manipulating the face during the takeaway. We are tucking the trail arm as I routinely teach and allowing it to externally rotate in response to that connection point and the correct shoulder action. The hands/clubface remain quiet and simply react to the motion. In more general terms, I do my best to convey multiple “feels” or thoughts throughout the swing wherever possible.

Ahh.... the old hand-to-hand combat.....😎 If you can do this properly with the trail hand, then I would keep drilling the trail hand only until it becomes second nature. Then alternate hitting shots between trail hand only and both hands, continuing to emphasize the trail hand only "feel" when both hands are on the club. Lather, rinse, repeat until such time that you have "broken the spirit" of that "corruptive" lead hand. If that doesn't work for you, then I would refocus on tucking that trail arm. For example, here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jJqGgsWX0t-XaZs.html Finally, the Precision Impact that I demonstrated in this video is an excellent training aid that will help you to neutralize this issue and crisp up your contact.

Yes - absolutely this swing key also applies to the driver. In fact, 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 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 aspects of the system I teach in a more structured manner: go.saguto.golf/ This will provide a nice foundational understanding of the swing keys that will ultimately get you mashing the ball through your entire bag.

That's a nice progression and it tells me that you are doing an excellent job refining your motion and impact condition. Keep up the great work!! 💪💪 Tom

LOL! I'm glad to learn that you are enjoying my "lesson and a show" instruction style, Carlos. Just know that despite the entertainment aspect, everything taught here from a golf swing perspective is consistent with a system rooted in physics, geometry, and human physiology, and modeled on empirical observations of the game's greatest ball strikers. So have a chuckle or two, and then get to work! 😎 Tom PS: By the way, since you are liking my channel's content, I think you will really enjoy my FREE mini course - “The Top 3 Things You Need to Be a Great Ball Striker”: go.saguto.golf/ If you haven't already worked through it, this is 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

Hi Matthew, The action described and demonstrated in this video powerfully returns the face to its preestablished position at setup. The only reason the face would be open at impact is if we did something upstream in the swing motion to open it! While there are certainly other 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'm very glad to learn of your crispiness, Lewis - nice job!! Regarding those "pesky" draws - which most amateur golfers would kill for 😎 - the ball is simply responding to the flight plan assigned to it by the clubface at impact, aka "ball flight laws". Clubface angle relative to target line is the primary influencer of the ball's starting line and face relative to path determines direction and degree of curvature. From there we can then do some reverse engineering to tweak our shot shape. Typically, when this swing is working properly it only requires some minor setup adjustments to move the ball one way or the other on-demand. For example, here is a shot shaping demonstration featuring a fellow teaching pro when we were attending Instructor Camp together in Miami: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f8mdftuXseCddYE.html By the way, there are entire sections of my online school dedicated to diagnosing and resolving common swing, contact, and ball flight issues. Have you looked into it? 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 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. At just $14.99/month or $149.99 per year the value in terms of what you get for that price point is beyond comprehension, and based on proven results it represents by far the best golf instruction deal on the planet. Keep up the great work!! 💪💪 Tom

Thanks - I'm very glad to know that this lesson resonated with you, and I hope it performs well when you put it into practice! As for the chops.....alas, the women have spoken.

Hi John, If by "open" you mean that my stance line is not parallel to the target line, then the camera angle is deceiving you. If, on the other hand, you are referring to my outwardly flared feet, this is done purposefully as it facilitates the proper amount of body-friendly, free-flowing hip turn back and through. This is a major power move that also keeps the club traveling on the correct path. If you were to square your feet so that they were perpendicular to the target line, then your hips would be impeded from turning sufficiently in the backswing (which would then inhibit the shoulders from executing a full and effortless turn), and from releasing properly in the downswing to propel the club through the zone. Restricting this action can cause a variety of path issues and/or also place strain on the lead knee and the hip joints as the hips will "want" to move laterally and turn through into the finish but will be fighting the body in the process.

@@SagutoGolf Thanks Tom, It must have been the camera angle. You rock my friend.

Sounds like a solid plan to me! Tom

Thanks Wolfgang - I'm very glad to know that this lesson resonated with you, and I hope it performs well when you put it into practice! Tom

There are various causes of toe hits, Dylan, with the most common being related to setup (for example, the arms are not hanging down naturally and are in fact slightly reaching away from the body at address) or a downswing path that is coming from the outside and across the ball. The hook component is related to a clubface that is closed to the downswing path at impact and, if the ball's starting direction is to the pull side and hooking further in that direction, then it is also closed to the target line (again, oftentimes related to a steeper path, although a strong grip can bee the culprit as well). FYI, there are entire sections of my online school dedicated to diagnosing and resolving common swing, contact, and ball flight issues. Have you looked into it?
