You STILL need a book, Saguto!

Great Fan of yours. Excellent guidance all through. But I am 68 years old with a cbad back issue. I use shoulder based Momentum,without twisting the back muscles much as given in your videos to suit my body limitations. Seeking your valuable advice to preserve my back and yet play decent Golf. God bless!

Awesome, will give this a go tomorrow on the course 😊⛳️🚀

Hey Tom, I just across the border from you in Ocean Isle Beach. How much would it cost for an in person swing lesson to help nail this move?

LOL! That's awesome, Tony!! 😆😆 Thanks so much for generously sharing SagutoGolf with others, keep up the great work, and keep if KFCrispy out there!! 💪💪 Tom

My pleasure, Frank - I sincerely appreciate your kind words, and I'm very glad to know that my lesson content and teaching style are resonating with you and providing clarity and simplicity in the muddied, overly complicated, oft-conflicting realm of golf instruction. Thanks so much for your message and support!!

Hi Frank in 80 years countless money wasted spent on so called golf lessons .I can 100 % guarantee NO good golf pros so called .Taught with young Toms Genius .it has taken me 80 years .but when I found Young Tom am now playing the best golf ever .all thanks to Young Tom and his infectious personality and skill and the ability to put it over is beyond priceless .

Wrong - these techniques r not taught by most pros - pros have complicated the swing for 100 years !

It’s okay if you were to listen to eminem. Great lesson as always! You like Joe Mayo?

Awesome job figuring that out, and congrats on a great round!! 💪💪 Yes - what you mentioned with regard to the knee action is indeed part of what I teach. The lead knee flexes as the trail knee straightens during the backswing, both in their outwardly flared orientations that we preset at address. The flexing/straightening occurs gradually and in response to the increasing forward weight load and the centered tilting, turning, and extending components of the motion. They are not contrived actions unto themselves. We're simply allowing them to be reactive, thereby freeing up the hips and shoulders to execute an unrestricted turn. 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. It will make 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. 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. 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. 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.

Thanks Tom. I was a member 2021 and 2022. Dropped 7 strokes off my handicap, but would like more. You may see me again.

Yes - definitely along the same lines as the Watermelon Drill, Thomas! Pretty sure I had DTL footage in that one. Here's the link: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ZtKJqK2Vu5e0kqM.html Thanks, Tom

I second that. WITH several smashed watermelons.

I appreciate that, Jess, and I'm very glad to know that my instruction content and teaching style are resonating with you!! The Frisbee feel is certainly a valid one and something that I have used in my instruction, oftentimes with golfers whose lead hand is the dominant one. In fact, 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. This is why I routinely recommend the online school - saguto.golf - to anyone who truly wishes to experience the joys of consistent, powerful, body-friendly ball striking bliss. The sequential lessons and drills provide the guidelines and set the boundaries, while allowing ample leeway for each individual golfer to infuse and exercise their own uniqueness.

Thanks Jerry - I'm glad you enjoyed it! 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 ) 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.

My pleasure, Jim! In the swing system I teach we start with our weight forward (generally 55/45 for the short and mid irons, 60/40 for the longer clubs). We achieve this by addressing the ball "stacked", shoulders over hips over knees with our weight balanced 50/50. We then simply bump our hips 1" towards the target while keeping everything else in place. That presets a little more weight forward while retaining the stacked relationship. During the swing we gradually add more forward weight load into the transition (70/30), 80/20 halfway down, 90/10 impact, and 95/5 finish. The upper torso/head - and thus the swing center - remains in place during the increasing forward weight load in the downswing. There's no "weight shift"; instead, it's just a gradually increasing load onto the lead side. And the result is a centered, low-maintenance, body-friendly, consistent, and tremendously powerful swing.

*AWESOME!!* And yes - unfortunately, Eric, 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....... 😎 Consider that despite all the advances in equipment, technology, golf course grooming, etc. the average golfer still struggles to break 100. Epic failures within the realm of “conventional” instruction, perhaps??? So many misconstrued and/or misguided teachings - such as taking the club straight back, turning the shoulders level while independently lifting the arms, shifting into and torquing against a firm trail side, firing the hips, actively rolling the hands through impact, etc. - have relegated generations of golfers to the vast abyss of inconsistency and chronic frustration (and chronic back/knee/hip pain as well).

Indeed, Andrew, the lateral targetward action of the hips acts as a governor to prevent a premature over-rotation and thereby enables the player to keep their upper torso square and their swing center intact without having to fight their body. It's also a very powerful move that you will notice with every great ball striker. (Cue up a face-on video of any Tour player, put your finger, mouse pointer, or some other reference tool on their lead hip at address, and then observe the extent to which the hips move laterally past your pointer in the downswing while the head - and thus the swing center - remains in place.) Most amateur golfers already have plenty of the rotational component; they need to build in the lateral hip slide to suppress the early-onset spinout that causes so many to get steep and across the line, or they get stuck, early extend, flip, etc. Here are some lesson videos specific to this topic: - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i9lmnbaYstyunYE.html - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mqhkfNeDmM3Zd4k.html - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f5uIjMp81Na4kmg.html Thanks, Tom

LOL! You've been watching and listening well, Greg, as that is definitely a quote from the old archives! Yes - 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. 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 Thanks for your message and support - I'm glad you enjoyed the episode!

I'm glad that clicked with you, Dominic. Far too many folks expend their power potential prior to impact as they try to "hit at" the ball. Instead, if we can achieve maximum speed just past impact it will ensure that the clubhead is accelerating _through_ the ball. Thanks for your message! Tom

I'm very glad to learn of your progress, Peter - nice job incorporating the instruction into your swing!! Yes, mats tend to do a great job of masking poorly struck shots - particularly when contact is towards the fat side - so what you are experiencing is not uncommon. The next time you are relegated to hitting off artificial surfaces, here are a couple of suggestions that can help you discern between crispy and soggy impact: 1) Get yourself an old hand towel and fold it in half. Place it no more than 2 inches behind your ball, thereby requiring you to miss the towel and make ball first contact on your downswing. As you improve, move the towel closer to the ball. The small thickness of a one-half folded towel will not impede your backswing takeaway. 2) If you can, put down a thick chalk line or some inexpensive spray foot powder on the mat about an inch in front of the ball. Try to hit the ball first and then the chalk or powder. The mark on the mat - or lack thereof - will give you instant visual feedback. . I hope that helps! Tom

Actually, this body-friendly, powerful, consistent, low-maintenance Stack and Tilt 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. As such, folks can call it what they want or don't call it what they don't want, but the bottom line is that this is what so many of the best have done and continue to do, and it just happens that these same swing elements are shared with that dark sorcery known as Stack and Tilt......😎 With regard to an online lesson, I appreciate your interest! I had phased out private instruction - both in-person and virtual - awhile back so I could dedicate more time to my online school. I've not yet set a specific date for when I will resume them (it should be fairly soon), but when I do the virtual lessons will be reserved exclusively for my online school members.

Indeed, Mike, and I appreciate that strong validation in referencing one of the game's truly great ball strikers! Beyond "just" Tommy, this body-friendly, powerful, consistent, low-maintenance swing system I teach is rooted in physics, geometry, and human physiology, and it is modeled on empirical observations of the golf's best players. 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. Would you like to learn some key aspects of the swing I teach in a more structured manner? If so, 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/ 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 Thanks again for your message!

My main concerns with regard to grip are that the handle remains secure in the fingers throughout the entirety of the motion and that the proper hinging and unhinging of the wrists is fully supported without any contrived effort. Beyond that, each golfer is free to add their own individual flair and determine what works best for them. Tom

I have the same issue. Any tips to what the issue is ?

Im still young and flexible and i havent seen you do it but you could try to put your feet a little bit wider and pointing the toe a little bit to the exterior (kind of like a duck, watch Tom's feet) Doing so, when rotating, is your belt buckle able to get inline with the front of your back foot and his your chest button able to get complete 90 degrees back from ball. Your front knee will bend forward and your back leg will extend a bit. Tell me if you can reach that after maybe we can talk about trailarm wrist hinge while keeping the elbow tuck in and your head slightely tilting like its now your front eye a front ear that look at the ball, If you look at 10-12 second and pause or put on slow youll see it from his backswing.

@Lenny-8 & @dustinearhart1867: 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. As @ticopain conveyed in reply to you in this thread, 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?

LOL!!! That's awesome, Frank! 💪💪 Welcome to the wonderful world of KFCrispy ball striking bliss. Thanks for "articulating" your success and keep up the fabulous playing! Tom

Keep f-ing doin' it my friend.

👍

LOL! I won't tell Col. Sanders, but I think that your combination just publicly revealed his "secret recipe", Andy....😆 Nice job. Keep it KFCrispy out there!! Tom

Thanks - I'm glad you enjoyed it!! Grip pressure is something that is very unique to each of us, which is why conveying personal "feels" in this regard have led so many golfers astray. For example, a 2 out of 10 “baby bird” grip to a strong guy like Sam Snead may equate to an 8 out of 10 to another golfer. We definitely don't want that handle swimming around in our hands because we're so loosey goosey that we can't control the clubface. A secure grip and soft arms are what we're after here. That prescription will certainly resonate differently for different folks, but the key is that our grip pressure should give us complete control of the club while not introducing swing-killing tension that prevents us from properly executing the motion and/or robs us of speed potential. Finding that sweet spot is a highly individual thing, and it is critical to consistently blissful ballstriking.

Well, that's quite the novel documentary on the metamorphosis of a golf swing - your version of "War and (eventually) Peace", I suppose?.....😎 I reckon the Readers Digest version - which is about all the time I can afford given the sheer volume of post-Masters activity here - would encapsulate as follows: _"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 for sharing for the benefit of any and all who may be daring! Tom

@@SagutoGolf Being it flipping or “casting” millions upon millions of rec golfers overuse the things attached to the grip… hands,, then wrists, then it’s a darling move to the top, down and through. I played all sports and used my hands well. But in golf, my hands have probably done me more harm than good.

Wanted to just add that I think Tom does a great job on his videos. Also, when I mentioned I was a baseball player I meant to say I was a pitcher, which requires learning how to move your arms as fast as possible, similar to driving a stake in the ground, or chopping wood. A two swing golfer is focused on accelerating his arms in a delayed manner that feels effortless with good timing, but it can be hard to do the same timing on a consistent bases. The one play swing relies more on turning the body (shoulder and hips) vigorously, which does not work for me.

I appreciate your kind words regarding my instruction and teaching persona. As a former baseball player myself, I do understand what you are saying, and while there are certainly some similarities between baseball and golf, there are also some considerable differences. Having said that, I do incorporate baseball analogies and feels in my lessons. For example, as they relate to pitching I teach the retraction of the trail shoulder at the top, leading with the trail elbow in the downswing, and retaining the angle in the trail wrist.

Hi Daniel, While the action is literally a tilt towards the target, when you add the dynamics of turning and extending the tilt component is actually what preserves our relationship to the ball during the backswing as you described. Having said that, I do understand that “tilt” can be a confusing concept to grasp initially. However, it is a critical component of the swing no matter what club you have in your hands, and you'll see it in the motions of all the best players in the world. If you tilt toward the target while keeping your head in place you will introduce the other components of turning and extending to put your body in the perfect backswing position with your shoulder oriented downward towards the ball. To get a feel for the coordinating of these elements we 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 and assume your setup posture. Without allowing your head to move execute the targetward side tilting motion and watch what happens. Magically your lead shoulder has turned downward, and your spine has extended!! Here's another way to go about it: 1) Get into your setup posture 2) Stand up straight (extend) 3) While standing erect (extended) tilt your upper body towards the target, keeping your hips in place. (In other words, if you are right-handed, stand up straight and tilt your torso to the left like it's the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Vice versa obviously for lefties.) 4) Now that you are extended and tilted, turn your upper body as you would in your backswing, keeping your weight forward while allowing your hips to turn 45 degrees and your trail leg to straighten. There you have your backswing - tilted, turned, and extended!! 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 including the tilting, turning extending, and weight forward elements. Yes - sadly, Stack and Tilt was relentlessly attacked by the "mainstream" of failed "instruction" whose erroneous concepts were threatened by the truth, and their nefarious efforts successfully - albeit temporarily - attached an undeserving "stigma" to the S&T name among those who chose not to do their own research. The bottom line is this: The body-friendly, powerful, consistent, low-maintenance Stack and Tilt 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. As you observe, we can watch any Tour event on TV and we'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. Thousands of folks across the globe - including many accomplished, low-handicap, competitive players - are now enjoying the best golf of their lives as a result of learning this swing system through my online school, and their unsolicited testimonials tell the story quite well: saguto.golf/p/sagutogolfreviews. Compare and contrast that with the sad reality that despite all the advances in equipment, technology, golf course grooming, etc. the average golfer still struggles to break 100. Epic failures within that realm of “conventional” instruction, perhaps??? So many misconstrued and/or misguided teachings - such as taking the club straight back, turning the shoulders level while independently lifting the arms, shifting into and torquing against a firm trail side, firing the hips, actively rolling the hands through impact, etc. - have relegated generations of golfers to the vast abyss of inconsistency and chronic frustration (and chronic back/knee/hip pain as well). Thanks, Tom
