I had to pause watching about 8 minutes in : just too much thinking for one day. I'll be back tomorrow. I'm going to pickup a bag of Oreos on my way to the range

Seems like you have a lot of weight on your front foot. What %of your weight is on each foot?

@@mattbobier3756 I think he says 90% on the front.

Great tips. The Saguto Golf School is now $15 a month.

I thought the right arm was suppose to be slightly bentat impact and straight after impact?

@@johnking4198 I’m sure if it was working for you, you wouldn’t be here 😊

@@cameronk4376 you're exactly correct.

I can definitely relate, at 67 and having played since I was 13, it is so easy in today’s world of KZfaq and Social Media to get Bombarded and Overwhelmed with the onslaught of information and confusion in the golf swing. Huge fan of this channel😎🏌🏼‍♂️

His way of explaining how to play golf is the most amazing thing on KZfaq if you asked me.😉

A Canadian Wolverine 😂

The gray pork chops definitely made me smile.

True

That is *OUTSTANDING,* Stephen - Congratulations on your club championship victory!! 💪💪 Quite frankly, given your profession I am not surprised with regard to what many would view as a truly remarkable transformation. There are definite similarities between the football/soccer kicking motion and a properly executed golf downswing, as both harness the tremendous force of angular momentum. You just needed to purge yourself of the variables created by that swing-wrecking "flippy, handsy" minutiae, learn how to properly put the big muscles in control, and thereby build yourself into a ball striking machine. And now that you have done so, given your athleticism once that "machine" is fully optimized the only remaining question will be, "how low can you go?...." 😎 Thanks so much for your support in sharing your dramatic improvement and playing success; I'm very glad to know that my instruction is performing well for you. Enjoy that first golf trophy and keep up the fantastic work!! Tom

Yes yes yes!! That is one of the key AHA's. Great job figuring it out!! I've recently added this 90% Weight Forward/Arms Straight drill to the SagutoGolf online school, and it has quickly become one of my top go-to fixes for a variety of issues, partly for the reasons that you mentioned: saguto.golf/courses/1175315/lectures/31131342.

Me too!

Same. I'm absolutely ripping my drives straight down the pipe now. I was out in the desert on my swing for two years before finding this channel. Just amazing how simple the fixes are. Now, the only time I really mess up a shot is when I fall back into my old ways of trying to swing hard.

That pure feeling is called "compression", and it's the best feeling in golf! With regard to the driver, it’s 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: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pZaopsZ-3rSXpmw.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.

Going snake - I am the same been playing 20 years - hours and hours of practice. Lessons and lessons and still searching and playing inconsistent golf. I am capable of hitting decent shots and have a ok shirt game but .... so inconsistent - what’s your advice ?? Cheers

Tom changed my golf life. In the 80s pretty regularly now....putting is improving because i hit it closer to the hole.

Cool - thanks

@@darrenmale3312 for me it's making the same swing and don't stand there trying to hit the ball.

Beating folks into push-draw submission is what I do best Jay...💪😂 Nice job - I'm glad it's working for you and I hope you enjoy your beautiful new ball flight! Tom

No worries....it didn't....😬😂

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

I'm very glad to know that this lesson resonated with you; excellent job incorporating it into your swing!! I was a baseball player as well. There are certainly some similarities between baseball and golf, but also some considerable differences that we must understand. You'd think that going from hitting 90 mph fastballs with assorted junk mixed in to whacking a stationary ball in a fixed location would be a cinch.......but no........😆😆 By the way, here's a video from the archives that compares the "shallowing" move in golf to a baseball swing if you'd like to have a look: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r9qpgMSEksm3gZs.html And here's a link to my FREE mini-course “The Top 3 Things You Need to Be a Great Ball Striker” in case you’re interested in learning some key aspects of the swing system I teach in a more structured manner: go.saguto.golf/ Thanks so much for your kind words.

Great job building this lesson into your swing!! As for the knee action in the backswing, the lead knee always works straight down in the direction established at address - which should be flared slightly outward towards the target. This keeps the weight forward and the swing center intact. Any inward movement of the lead knee will shift the center and low point backwards. This can lead to inconsistency and may also cause some discomfort to the knee. Here's an episode on this topic: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z7WDfrB3nb7DqoU.html As for the guitar stuff, it was a very difficult business decision. I just couldn't maintain both anymore, and ultimately it came down to career vs. hobby (and I do still play every chance I get!). Having said that, my guitar membership program is still active.

Hi Russ, "Straight arms" is one of the tenets of the Stack and Tilt swing that I teach. As the S&T book states, "of course the right (trail) arm bends in the backswing and the left (lead) arm bends at the finish, but as much as possible the arms should be kept straight." Straight arms enables us to preserve the radius of our swing circle in this very centered motion while keeping the downswing moving on the proper in-to-out path, and this "feel" is something we strive to maintain even as the wrists naturally hinge and the trail arm folds to 90 degrees in the backswing. And you are correct - full extension will occur just past impact. Best Regards, Tom PS: Perhaps you might wish to consider enrolling in my online school?

@SagutoGolf maybe I should eat more peanut butter and banana sandwiches then lol 😂

@@SagutoGolf elvis swayed however---a Saguto no-no

There is much wisdom in your few words that would benefit countless golfers, Rich!! Well done! Tom

That's fantastic, Joe! I'm very glad to know that this lesson resonated well with you, and based on your comment I believe you have a very good understanding of it! By the way, here's a link to my free mini-course “The Top 3 Things You Need to Be a Great Ball Striker” in case you’re interested in checking it out: go.saguto.golf/ Keep up the great work and have fun out there!! TS

I tried to remember the straight arms but it's always after some bad shots then the memory came back reminding me.... yap straight arms do work for me

@Welby Roberto - There's a drill in my online school titled "90% Weight Forward/Arms Straight" that really reinforces this. Here's a link if you would like to know more about the school - saguto.golf TS

Thanks Rick - I'm glad to know that this straight arms lesson resonated well with you. Nice job building it into your swing! Keep up the great work!! Tom

Saw what you did there. Lolololol

Tom is a true Sultan of Swing

Nice

Exactly. And once you take this to the course against your buddies, Daz, it'll be like earning Money for Nothin'.....😎 Cheers! Tom

Indeed he does, Nick, and I had no idea until I returned back to the office to review the footage! He was a perfectly scripted accidental stage prop!! 😂 Cheers! Tom

LOL! I really have no awareness of what's going on behind me while I'm filming, but invariably they seem to re-enact the exact amateur moves that I'm talking about in the episode (and I swear it's all unscripted)!!!....😂😂😂

Well done, Thomas!! 💪💪 It's really a great feeling, right?? Thanks for sharing your success and keep up the great work!! Tom

LOL!! There are unscripted happy accidents happening just about every time I visit the range to do some filming!! 😂😂

I'm very glad to know that my instruction is resonating with you. As you ingrain that weight forward element - which realistically can take time if you were previously shifting into your trail side - those fat shots will crisp up for you. And with regard to your "robot arms", this week's episode is on that exact topic. Here's the link if you have not yet watched it: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o59hjcdmrL7eZHk.html Thanks so much for sharing your improvement and keep up the great work!!

That's Awesome, @DA T - I appreciate you sharing that!! You may be interested to know that a significant percentage of my students and online school members are in their 60's, 70's, and 80's - i.e.: a smorgasbord of chronic ailments, physical limitations, back/shoulder/knee/hip pain, arthritis, and joint replacements - and they are overwhelmingly elated to experience the dramatic pain-free game improvement, seemingly effortless power, and resulting enjoyment that this swing affords them. 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 and experience great ball striking. Keep up the great work and have fun out there!! Tom

That's AWESOME, Nancy!! Thanks so much for sharing your success with the Straight Arms lesson. You've obviously done a stellar job of incorporating it into your swing!! Keep up the great work and keep on smashing it!! Tom

Thanks Ed - I appreciate that, and I hope you enjoy the mini course! Tom

I sincerely appreciate that, Ed, and I'm very glad to know that my instruction content and teaching style are resonating with you!! By the way, with regard to ball position we first need to be aware that camera angles can greatly skew the viewer's perspective. 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. Thanks again! Tom

Hi Tony, The prescribed setup for the Stack and Tilt swing I teach includes flaring out both feet approximately 10-20 degrees, and 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. Thanks! Tom
