Something I learned to do as a teacher and manager is to always state the underlying goal the technique I was teaching addresses. This comes from Sun Tzu and Art of War and is taught in the military academies and MBA programs. Start with the goal with criteria to measure success, evaluate all the possible strategies against the criteria for success, then and only then develop techniques and buy equipment to implement the strategies to meet the goals. Here the goal is to hit the ball straight down the target line, the strategy is to keep the club head on the target line as much as possible and the technique needed to accomplish that strategy is to keep the shaft of the club more vertical so it will swings on the target line like a pendulum which requires hitting off the toe of the club. I started using that problem solving process back in the mid-70s when I first got into management and teaching and found it very effective because it goes beyond the “How To…” to help the student understand the “Why you should do it…” What I’ve seen happen with the ‘How To’ approach is for someone to try it, have it not ‘feel right’ from whatever their previous baseline of understanding was, and not understanding and accepting intellectually it will work better just reverts to how they had been doing things.

I’ve commented on your videos before, but I’ll say it again, you have a great swing, and I love the connection to the body, but I wish your lower body was a little more dynamic. A little lateral movement actually helps balance and rhythm for some people over the more static heavier front foot approach. I will also say I bet you can hit a nasty stinger with your setup lol. Cheers. Keep cracking on.

Hi Tom, I wanted to say thank you. Your advice is terrific and has taken a lot of the mystery out of my inconsistent swings. I’ve been golfing on and off for 20 years, never broke 100, always “losing my swing” during a round. I practiced what you taught (weight forward, no weight shift during swing, right arm tuck, head over the ball, etc). I shot a 99 for the first time last weekend, all from your swing advice. Whenever the swing left me, I went back to your advice and was able to immediately correct. Just the tip of the iceberg for me hitting crisp fun shots with great contact- I’ve never had so much FUN on the course. Thank you, I look forward to learning from you more!

There is a way to generate a huge amount of of club speed with a snapping ‘waggle’ down / crack the whip action in the downswing without the hands turning over. Hogan described how to do it -vaguely-in his book Five Lessons and it occurs in a conventional swing without people realizing it. It starts with a grip with counter-torque between the forearms and hands. An extreme way to get that is to put the club in the lead hand with elbow bent and turn it forward until it maxes out rotation of radius and ulna and forces palm to face up (supination) then put trail hand into the grip palm down (pronated) and lower the club and you should feel a lot of counter torque between the two arms. Next push thumbs down at the ground (ulnar deviation) and you will feel the wrists and arms lock up when ulnar deviation maxes out. That condition of straight arms and hands in ulnar deviation occurs in the finish of a conventional swing and is what allows the force of the club to turn over the wrists snapping the face closed. But that rotation of the hands can be prevented by adding flexion in the lead wrist and extension in the trail one, EXACTLY how Hogan had his hands at impact AT THE END OF HIS WAGGLE DOWN ACTION. From the time Hogan’s shaft was horizontal to impact he both waggled it down with radial-ulnar deviation until ulnar deviation maxed out and locked up the hands (and the face angle) while also adding flexion to the lead wrist -which he called supination which is incorrect because there is NO FORARM ROTATION which is what creates supination / pronation of the hands - and extension to the trail wrist. It is a waggle down action with a twist the hands counterclockwise before impact with the ball. The club head doesn’t flip and the hands will turn not over until the club is allowed to put trail arm straight and the extension out of the trail hand. Why do it than way? It adds a metric sh*t ton of extra acceleration to the club head the traditional swing lacks and also allows precise control off face angle. It slows the hands down just enough to for ball to explode off the face of the club in the same an unbelted passenger flies off the seat with the mass of the car stops abruptly in a car crash. To understand and practice just waggle the club down until the wrists lock and let a ball get in the way adjusting face at address behind the ball until it flies straight at the target. Then slowly add backswing and follow through by lifting back foot through impact to keep hands moving in a radius around feet.

You say you start with your weight on your front foot and keep it there but, it looks like you start out with your weight evenly distributed between both feet and then you shift your weight to the front foot during your back swing. It may sound subtle, but it is a big difference.

Here are some setup keys for this swing system, Mike. It may provide some clarity. 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. The notion of a “weight” shift in the golf swing has led many an amateur golfer into the vast abyss of chronic inconsistency and frustration. In fact, here is Jack Nicklaus on weight shift: "I don't believe in a lateral shift," says Nicklaus. "Of course not. I believe in staying on the ball." Asked what he thinks about teachers who advocate a weight shift, he answers, "They don't know how to play." Now, there is certainly an allowance for a transfer of “pressure” into the trail side. After all, we are moving the mass of the arms and club back and around us during the takeaway and backswing. 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.

@SagutoGolf 20 сағат бұрын
The outward flaring of both feet 10-20 degrees in our setup 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 lower back, 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. The widest stance is with the driver, where the insides of the heels are shoulder-width apart. The stance gets incrementally narrower as the clubs get shorter. For our stock setup the hand position remains the same with all clubs - even with the inside of the lead heel. And 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. From there they can make incremental tweaks to see how different positions affect impact quality and shot shape.

Golf instructors for years have been fighting the so-called traditional or PGA way of golf instruction. Which was convoluted at best with way too many moves and swing thoughts. Thirty some years ago, I experienced the same problem with traditional golf instruction. I realized that traditional teaching mythology hadn't improved the average golfer's score by even half of a stroke. Like Saguto golf, I created a simpler approach to golf instruction. I called it the Interlink Golf System, which was great for golf club selection and shot improvement. However, that was then, and this now. If you are serious about learning how to play better golf, then listen to this instructor. He has simplified the golf swing to make it easier for you to play better golf. Period.

I sincerely appreciate your kind and words and professional validation, Craig! Indeed, how interesting and sad it is 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). I’m doing my best here to clear these up one by one and put an end to this madness, and I thank you so much for your support in recognizing that! Tom

@SagutoGolf
@SagutoGolf 20 сағат бұрын
While I personally prefer firmer, Tim, it's really up to the individual. 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. Tom

You've received a couple of excellent replies here, Aaron. I will only piggyback on what they said. Ideally we should simply "allow" the wrist/arm actions to happen without forcing anything. 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 positions 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.
