This is essentially setting up the 4:30 ⏲️ path as Bradley Hughes so effectively teaches. Good simple tip 👌
I tried this and had the best round i've had in months. Droped about7 or 8 shots and shot below my handicap
Tom, you have a gift for simplifying what many people tend to overcomplicate.

“Saving the world from golf swing disaster”
No truer words spoken my friend !
Keep it up Tom!
LOL! Thanks Larus. As seemingly "altruistic" as it may sound in a tongue in cheek kind of way, my assigned mission as a PGA Professional is to grow the game, so I'm just doing my job.... 😎
Tom
I just played two rounds of golf just using and having this as my only swing thought. OMG my two best and consistent rounds since it seems like forever. For ME, this tip is so simple but “game changer”. I was ready to sign up for golf lesson to straighten out my swing. Tom you just saved me couple hundred $$$. Bless you sir and for this video tip
That is *OUTSTANDING,* Norman!! 💪💪 I'm very glad to know that this lesson resonated with you; excellent job incorporating it into your swing and putting it into play.
Thanks so much for validating it with your success and keep up the fantastic work!!

That's AWESOME, Chaunce!! 💪💪 I'm very glad to know that this tip resonated with you; excellent job incorporating it into your swing and putting it into play.
Thanks for validating it with your dramatic improvement and keep up the great work!!
Tom
This is the simplest most effective tip I've ever heard. I applied it this morning and it is as advertised - ball striking was great. I hit 10 fairways off the tee, and 10 greens in regulation. So simple! Stay connected, turn the shoulders, and then apply this technique with the right arm and great things happen! Thank you Tom!
That's fantastic, Weston! 👍👍 I'm very glad to know that this lesson resonated with you; *_excellent_* job incorporating it into your swing and putting it into play.
Thanks so much for your support in sharing your immediate ball striking improvement and keep up the great work!! 💪💪
Tom
Just say your video before leaving the driving range. You're right. It's a game changer. While hitting my driver, I felt like I was coming into the ball to steep. Your video helped me to shallow out my driver, and I'm back, baby. Bombs away. I can't wait to play tomorrow 🎉😂
Awesome - I'm very glad to know that this lesson resonated with you; excellent job incorporating it into your swing, and have fun putting it into play!
Thanks so much for validating this with your results, and welcome back, Bomber!! 💪💪

Tom, I am immensely grateful for the transformative impact your training has had on my golf game. Your methodical approach has led to numerous breakthroughs, allowing me to refine my swing significantly. The days of frequent shanks are behind me, replaced by a newfound consistency and precision that brings a crisp contact with the ball. This journey of improvement has reignited my passion for golf, and for that, I owe you a world of thanks. Your guidance is truly invaluable.
Well, I am immensely grateful for your kind words!
I'm thrilled to learn of your ball striking improvement and resulting rekindled love for the game, and I am very glad to know that my lesson content is resonating with you to such an extent. Excellent job incorporating it into your swing and putting it into play. 💪💪

This is definitely a very important position, as you have shown in many of your videos 👍
I think the reason we as amateurs disconnect the arms and elbow in the downswing is that the feeling is that we can't hit it hard ( distance) this way. Just have to trust that the swing speed will improve as the body learns to rotate faster and use ground forces better
I appreciate that and I'm very glad to know that this lesson resonated with you; I hope it performs well when you put it into practice!
I understand that these concepts may be foreign to amateur golfers who were taught to shift their weight, turn their shoulders more level, and independently lift the club with the hands and arms. In the vast majority of cases that is not working out very well for them, and I speak from experience because not only was I previously among them, but I see the "steep and weak" outcome of the "shift and lift" motion every day. If the golfer can retrain themselves to take their hands in deep while remaining centered and allowing their lead shoulder to work down, they will be in great position to transition into a proper and powerful move through the ball that produces seemingly effortless distance.
This is part of what the online school teaches and drills in through step-by-step, position-by-position detail, and it is why so many folks spanning all age ranges and abilities are now enjoying the best golf of their lives.

@SagutoGolf thanks Tom for all the videos! Do you do video swing reviews?
Yep.
6:38 more of these angles TOM! This is what I have been describing in past comments as a visual stimulant in my learning/understanding!
It creates so many visuals on key points of the swing for me. Grip, position in relation to ball, target line, I could go on.
Thanks for this one! I have been struggling with driver from time to time, and I'm almost certain if I keep doing this drill today before my shots off the tee, I'll be hittin' where I wanna!
I'm glad you enjoyed the varying perspectives provided in this video, Johnny, and I hope the pre-shot drill played out well for you!
Let's get things back on track!!
Tom
I am a Saguto disciple for life. Most of the online instructors you need a PhD in biomechanics to understand and follow. By far the most effective leasons on CZcams by a mile.

Tom you saved my golf game! I had given up on golf back in 2015 due to RA...it was painful in my wrists at impact because I never got the ball solid...thankfully after your videos I'm able to play again with minimal pain and hit it solid majority of the time!
Thanks!!!
That's fabulous, Todd!!
I'm very glad to know that my instruction is resonating with you; excellent job incorporating it into your swing and putting it into play.
Thanks so much for your support in sharing your body-friendly improvement and resulting enjoyment, and keep up the great work!! 💪💪
Tom
I have been watching your videos for a while now, learning something every time! Your tilt through the ball in the downswing is what i am missing. My full swing is better from watching your knee and leg movement in the swing. I am able to get a full turn in the backswing. Trying to understand how to maintain the tilt. Left should at the ball, Right shoulder through the ball. My thought is to hit the ball with my right shoulder.
Having my weight on the lead side is also a struggle. For some reason I am struggling to understand the coordination or setup or magic. You are able to put 80% of your weight on the lead foot at impact. I understand that i am thinking too much but this is what I perceive are needs. I do have a coach who teaches a little bit of stack and tilt.
I have just purchased the book ‘stack and tilt’. I am studying and taking notes. I have noticed that every shot is straight to baby draw and sometimes hook. My coach tells me to be right of the target because it is easier to control the spin left to right. My power seems to be better but needs improvement.
Thank you for fantastic teaching and kindness with great compassion.
I appreciate your kind and supportive words, and I commend you on your commitment!
Just a few thoughts...
Stack and Tilt is a robust *_system,_* and not just a style or methodology. It's very difficult to do or teach "a little bit of S&T". 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. In fact, you'll notice in the book that you just purchased - which was a very good move, by the way - that there is an entire chapter dedicated to the differences between S&T and "conventional", and these are numerous, significant, and go from setup to finish. (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.) As such, it's best to be "all in" or not in at all, because a "hybrid" type of action is going to have you fighting yourself much of the time.
I do understand your initial challenges with the weight-forward concept, as the "ghost of swings past" are stubborn and require time and focused effort to eradicate. The notion of a “weight” shift in the golf swing has sadly 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, within Stack and Tilt 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 first part of the 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.
Finally, with all your excellent efforts, the one thing you have skirted is the online school where you can get on the fast track towards properly learning this swing system in a comprehensive, sequential platform. 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. And that book you just purchased will serve as an excellent supplemental reference guide to what you learn in the school. *_Also, through the school you would still have access to the KFC Club channel member videos, so if you were to enroll there would be no need to maintain both memberships._* 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.
Thanks again for your message. I hope this reply assists you in finding your path towards enjoying your best golf for the rest of your life!

2:45 This suggestion was so simple yet very productive to my golf swing. Thank you for this feel
My pleasure, Dave - I'm very glad to know that this feel resonated with you! Thanks for sharing your success with it and keep up the great work!!

Hey Tom, Love your video lessons. I’ll be joining the online school soon. I’d appreciate more slow-mo replays of swings, Helps me easier see when to fire hips and the whole sequence.
Thanks Steve, and I'm looking forward to seeing you in the online school!
I slow down my swing in numerous videos, but even when I don't you can still manually adjust the playback of any YT video to as slow as 1/4-speed by clicking on the settings button at the lower right side of the video player. Or you can pause a video and press the period ( . ) button to advance frame by frame and the comma ( , ) to reverse frame by frame.
Tom
This is the absolute best lesson/video that I’ve ever seen. I am way too right hand dominant and this method has a couple of benefits for my swing. 1, it keeps my right hand from taking over which leads to bad paths and over the top tendencies. 2, It also makes the swing plane automatic. I don’t even think about swing plane anymore. You can’t get off plane. I’m hitting it much straighter, much higher, and effortless. The drawing of Ben Hogan skipping stones never made sense to me, til now! Merci Mr Saguto!
I appreciate that, John, and I'm very glad to know that this lesson resonated with you; excellent job incorporating it into your swing! Yes - the benefits you cited are precisely the intended outcome of this lesson. As for Mr. Hogan skipping stones, the previous week's episode goes into detail on that if you are interested in viewing it: czcams.com/video/hVxTSCNRroo/video.html
Thanks so much for validating the effectiveness of this drill with your dramatic improvement and keep up the great work!! 💪💪

AWESOME, Scott!! I'm very glad to know that your season is going well and I'm thrilled for your improvement!! Thanks for the excellent progress report and keep up the great work!! 💪💪
Tom
Tom if you perhaps wondered why the dark spots on your videos….its because you have some dust particles on your camera sensor. Might wanna clean the sensor and your problem will be solved. 👍🏾
Love your videos by the way. It really helps me with my golf swing.

I’ve been watching you a lot for months. I’ve been trying lots of the things I see you doing. Some help, some not. I started this little move yesterday & got great results. I only shot about 81, but for the past 6 months I’ve been about a 90. Still gonna need a little adjustment but it works. Thx.
I'm very glad to know that this drill performed well for you; nice job incorporating it into your swing!! 👍👍

Thanks Saguto golf. Just finished the first 18 of a buddy trip and shot the best round of the year by 4 strokes thanks to this drill. You have helped me several times. The best instruction on CZcams.😊
That's *FABULOUS,* Matthew!! 💪💪 I am very glad to know that my instruction is resonating with you; excellent job incorporating it into your swing and putting it into play.
Thanks so much for sharing your improvement, keep up the great work, and enjoy the remainder of your trip!!
Tom
Wow Tom, spectacular! So simple but just pure genius! What a talent you have!! So excited with my transformation after your free three golf tip videos. Grateful to have found you!!
I sincerely appreciate your kind words, Krina, and I'm very glad to know that my instruction content and teaching style are resonating with you!!
Thanks so much for sharing your dramatic ball striking improvement as a result of the free mini course, and keep up the fantastic work!! 💪💪
Tom
Your simple but highly effective swing instruction have help me greatly. I still have a ways to go to erase 40 yrs off bad instructions and bad habits, but now I'm eager to play and no longer dread my league day.
Please include more slo-mo pieces in your videoes so we can see and study the full sequences of your swings.
I'm very glad to know that my instruction is resonating with you; excellent job incorporating it into your swing and putting it into play! Yes - the “ghosts of swings past” do not disappear on their own, and if you are transitioning from a swing method that involved shifting weight into your trail side and/or lifting the club with your hands, those demons are going to take some time to exorcise! Be patient, be diligent, be committed, and you will conquer them!
I slow down my swing in numerous videos, but even when I don't you can still manually adjust the playback of any YT video to as slow as 1/4-speed by clicking on the settings button at the lower right side of the video player.

Tom i have been watching all the videos on tucking my right elbow, This week i have shot 2 round under 100 the first time in more than 5 years. My first great shot was a 3 wood 252 yards gave me a kick in eagle 3 and a 49 on my card going nicely with my 45 on the front 9. Today shooting 96 at a much more difficult golf course with very fast greens. I did hit some really fine irons and several great chips all from the elbow tuck videos. I am not bought into the crispy part just yet...... Thanks Greg
I am 68 years old
That is *OUTSTANDING,* Greg!! I’m very glad to know that my instruction is resonating with you; excellent job incorporating it into your swing and putting it into play. (Congrats on that awesome kick-in eagle, by the way! 💪💪)
Now, 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.

As you are now beginning to understand, 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 so much for sharing your improvement and keep up the great work!!
Tom
Thanks for this , you make it so easy !
You're uncomplicated, simplified and entertaining videos are fantastic. We all don't get time or can afford to play much anymore. Forget practice. But your drills and method sure makes it easy to play at least decently those few times a year some of us get a chance to play.
Thanks! I sincerely appreciate your kind words and support, and I'm very glad to know that my content and "lesson and a show" style are resonating with you and providing clarity and simplicity in the muddied, overly complicated, oft-conflicting realm of golf instruction!

Always, ALWAYS here for your driver tips, no matter how small. This is a great one!
I appreciate knowing that and I'm glad to hear that my driver content is resonating with you!!
By the way, 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: czcams.com/video/o0xscMyN3v8/video.html
Thanks for your message and ongoing support!!
Tom
Great video, simple and pure teaching, keep up the great work.
Much appreciated, Bill! I'm glad you enjoyed this episode and I hope the warmup drill performs well for you!!
Tom
Love the simple tips cant wait to try before my next round
Thanks! I hope they perform well for you!!
Tom
Tom, you focused on one of the most important parts to a golf swing, "swinging on an inclined circle." If you add in your "karate chop," you have a winning combination. Last week, my game was bonkers until I realized that I was not swinging on this inclined circle path. After I regained my focus, I was again hitting crispy chicken shots.
Well Done Tom!
Nice job self-diagnosing your soggy chicken and getting that deep fryer back up to temperature, John!

Gawd you make this look easy. I need to try this drill on the range tomorrow. One step at a time; oddly enough I’m almost a machine with the driver by following your online SagutoGolf. Hoping to get the irons there soon.
Keep up the great tips, hints, and lessons.
Thank you so much!
Keep at it, Don. Those irons will come along for you. And if you remain challenged just remember that I do offer an a la carte swing video analysis service to help school members stay on track and also to assist in diagnosing/resolving any issues that may arise.

@@SagutoGolf Thank you Tom. I will keep this in mind.
@@SagutoGolf Hi Tom, Yahoo!! I got it done!
Recently played with a member that does Stack and Tilt. I moved my weight a little more forward and kept it there during the whole (complete) swing. Shots are higher and farther. Hell, my 8-iron stopped almost in its own pitch mark today. That hasn't happened in years! Haha, great shot but left me about 20 feet short. sheesh...very pleased though - 78 (6312 yards).
To your point, this such an amazing technique. And is so easy on body parts!!
Excellent! Loving the new angles from the camera man, too; really helps internalize how the club is traveling in space -- DTL & Front view is good, but not nearly enough.
I just realized you're on the other end of the driving range hitting it back towards the stations? Be careful ;).
I'm very glad to know that this lesson resonated with you, and I hope it performs well when you put it into practice! And thanks for your kind words regarding the video production. I'll let the cameraman - aka my dad - know that you enjoyed the varying perspectives that he provided!
Yes - I am at the back end of the range where it's much quieter. That's why I usually don't hit driver there, because if I bust one 300+ on a busy day it could be problematic. And while some have bombed it from the other side to the point where the ball is rolling out in relative proximity, so far so good.....😎

PS: If you've not already joined, have you considered enrolling in the online school and taking your learning - and your game - to the next level? That's where - in addition to detailed lessons and drills that take you through the entire swing step-by-step, position-by-position from setup to finish - you'll find diagnostic tools for identifying/resolving swing and ball flight issues when they arise, plus advanced level instruction, 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.
I'm 86 yrs old. In the 1960s and 70s, golf instruction came from publications like Golf Digest and Golf magazine. I remember one pro guest actually using a plate to demonstrate this exercise for helping your swing. Unfortunately, there were no televised presentations available to correctly show the arm in motion. It never became a part of swing instruction although some good instructors incorporated it into their lessons.
I appreciate your message and nostalgic detail. I have a bunch of Golf Digest issues from the 70's and I do scroll through them periodically. There are indeed some hidden gems in there, and yes - it is most unfortunate that key elements such as this one that are shared by the game's best ball strikers have somehow fallen under the radar of modern mainstream golf swing "instruction". However, rest assured that you will certainly find them here on the "dark side".... 😎
Thank you again for your validating remarks regarding this lesson and drill!

Great drill and definitely helps maintain that connection. Hitting all irons much better when doing this drill and focusing on it when hitting. Only issue was with driver I seemed to frequently get a blocked shot (great hit that soars and goes dead straight but dead right)? Am I keeping that elbow in too much? Didn't seem to happen with my 3 or 4 iron (which I hit GREAT!)?
I appreciate you sharing your dramatic ball striking improvement with this drill, Ken - nice job incorporating it into your swing!! 💪💪
As for those straight pushes with the driver, your answer lies in 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 identify and neutralize the cause. So, in the case of a well struck straight push the face is open to the target line and square to the in-to-out downswing path. This could be something as simple as the ball position being too far back in your stance. That's a simple one to fix so I'd recommend checking that first. Stock ball position with the driver is even with the inside of the heel of the lead foot, but you can play with that a bit to suit your desires. Aside from that, other possibilities include your path has shallowed too much or that your swing still has some leftover remnants of subconscious compensatory moves that you made to neutralize a previously steeper path. Videoing your swing will help you in this regard.

Thanks for your message and keep up the great work!!
Tom
Well, you have got it nailed there, Tom. And, by holding your right hand under the club, to place it on the club, you are setting your hand and arm in the position to serve up the perfect swing arc. The drinks tray drill that you do is very similar to the method David Leadbetter's old mentor: Terry Westbrook, taught me, only he told me to face my palm up in the actual takeaway, which, of course, is not correct. But, he, also, told me to make a downwards rotation of my left shoulder. And, the only way to do that is to make a downwards rotation of the left hand in the takeaway. But, turning the tight palm up does at least enable a player to swing back on the inside. So, as a drill, i hold the club out to the left with left hand, press my hand in front of the clubhead, which sets the club in motion; and, as I swing back with my left hand and arm, I swing back with my right arm and face my palm up; and then place my right hand on the club as late as I can in the backswing. Really enjoy doing that drill. But, certainly you have hit on a key fundamental there, by placing your right hand on the club from under the shaft. And, it is clear to see that it enables your swing to work like clockwork now. Yes, placing the right hand on the club this way does bring into debate the position of the V of the hand. But, the position of the V is relative to the position of the hands. Grip the club lightly, when you place your hands on the club, then raise your position; and the weight of the clubhead will ensure that the V will point more towards your right shoulder.
I'm glad you enjoyed this video, and it is certainly aligned with one of your favorite swing keys of having the inside of the trail forearm - i.e.: the left side of the right forearm as you like to say - working towards the ball on the way down.
Thanks for your support and for sharing the additional detail!
Tom
@@SagutoGolf yes, I have been positioning the inside of my trial forearm to the left of my elbow to assist with with right arm flexion and the full activation of the "inside muscles" in my trial arm, when I swing back with just my right arm
Tom, your divet line is perfectly straight, such an awesome swing and thanks for the tip!
My pleasure, Tom, and I appreciate your kind words. That divot pattern is the "signature line" of this easily repeatable, powerful, low-maintenance swing system! Course superintendents love it for ease of repair and speed of turf recovery, and you'll love it for the crispy contact and missile-like ball flight byproducts!

Excellent tip Tom. Presumably still trying to keep your right elbow tucked in throughout?
Always trying to maintain that orientation, David, as it causes the proper external rotation of the arm and shoulder and makes for a seamless transition into a powerful downswing path.
Thanks - I'm glad you enjoyed the video!!
Tom
My new pre-round routine. 👍🏻
But, EVERYONE talks about backswing, impact, the “strike”, as if the swing ends when the clubface gets back to the ball. Even your routine is “take it to the top, then back to the ball”
What about AFTER impact?
What about RELEASING the club?
I have been struggling because I’ve been trying to get that forward shaft lean that EVERYONE talks about
(ball first, ground second), and hitting some weak, God-awful shots, short and high right.
Today, I focused on pointing the TOE UP … AFTER impact (at 9 o’clock) and I hit some of the best shots I’ve hit so far this year 😳
… compressed, “that sound” 😃
Happy golf ⛳️🏌️♂️
SLINGING it (as you’ve said in one of your recent videos).
I found I have to focus on AFTER impact way more than the backswing or the downswing. Maybe that’s just today, maybe that’s just me, but …
Best golf instructor on CZcams 👍🏻
Keep up the good work, Tom
“Life’s too short to play bad golf”
That forward shaft lean at impact should be the result of a properly executed motion and not a contrived or actively manufactured position, Mike. However, it is hyped up so much that folks become convinced that they must force it to happen and thus precisely time it at the millisecond of impact, and generally does not play out well.
Nice job figuring out what works well for you. Keep up the great work and enjoy that KFCrispy compression!! 💪💪
Tom
Hey Tom. Another great video! Question though. When you make impact don’t you have to return the club face back to square? Kind of the same question I have with the rock skipping video too.
I'm very glad to know that this lesson resonated with you, and I hope the drill performs well when you put it into practice!
There is no manipulation of the clubface taking place (here or in the rock skipping demonstration). I'm simply keeping my trail arm connection intact and allowing it to ride up the swing plane. The arm externally rotates naturally as a result, and without any active rolling motion. As such should return to the ball in the same orientation preset at address unless some ill-advised independent hand/wrist action occurs somewhere prior to impact.
While I certainly have other videos 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

I have to adapt to myself but I'm learning great things. Every set of shoulders, torso, hands, etc are unique.
Yes!! And this is why 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.

At the risk of sounding cliché...

@@SagutoGolfBeing used to averaging 15 to 18 per round, using this thought made my balls head straight to the green like guided missiles 😁😁😁😁😁
Sorry another question overall should I be swinging the same way with every club (right arm in, weight forward) or should it be different for woods, driver, and hybrids.
Thanks I appreciate helping me out you truly are the best.
No worries! 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: czcams.com/video/o0xscMyN3v8/video.html

I have watched plenty of your drills and my ballstriking has transformed tremendously and I’m hitting it straight. My miss is when I try to go after a ball and my arm deattaches and goes over the top.
My question is I struggle always keeping my weight in the front at all times as it feels weird do you have any suggestions on how I could make that easier/more consistent?
I'm very glad to learn of your dramatic ball striking improvement, Cooper - excellent job incorporating the instruction into your swing! 💪💪

See ya at the PIT in two weeks 🎸😎
Tom, I would like to see what you see at setup. If you had a go-pro on your head. Like, do you see your toes behind your hands or in front and where is the ball with say a 9 iron. What does the shaft lean look like from your eyes?
Well, let me first share some setup keys for this swing system with you: 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.
As for ball position, 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. (By the way, I strongly suggest using alignment sticks when monitoring ball position - one on the foot line, a second one parallel to the first to mark the target line, and a third perpendicular to these to show ball position - as our side-on view from above tends to skew our perspective of the actual location of the ball relative to our stance.)
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.
Now, having shared all that, would you like to learn some key aspects of the swing I teach in a more structured manner?

Back in the day I used to do that "coming over the top" movement and hit wicked slices. Then I learned I was supposed to hit (and that's what I was doing, hitting) inside out. Completely cured the slice but I then went through a period of hitting wicked hooks. Still, that was better. I could aim to the right of the target and the ball would roll a long way after it landed.
Nice job overcoming that steep path and resulting chronic slices, Robert!

Do u need right side bend on the downswing in this swing?
It will occur, Matt, but whether or not a golfer needs to actually "feel" that is an individual thing. While it is something I teach as an option, conscious overemphasis or exaggeration of the trail side tilt can lead to becoming too shallow and/or getting "stuck". This can result in big pushes, overdraws, and/or blocks.

I have very poor internal shoulder rotation, how do get a long enough swing with your arm stuck to your side?
As a reminder, Jeremiah, 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, 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.
For example, 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. If we can achieve just 45 degrees of inclined hip turn - which most folks can with this setup - then all we need is another 45 degrees of shoulder turn for a full 90-degree turn!
Tom
Where were your ball position on these series of shots.
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. (By the way, I strongly suggest using alignment sticks when monitoring ball position - one on the foot line, a second one parallel to the first to mark the target line, and a third perpendicular to these to show ball position - as our side-on view from above tends to skew our perspective of the actual location of the ball relative to our stance.)
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.

do you feel as if your right arm or hand is pulling the club on takeaway?
Hi Chris,
My own personal "feels" are not relevant to you because they are unique to me. 😎 Beyond that, they do change quite regularly as I'm always thinking about new possibilities for my lesson content. (Although as long as my setup is good and I've pre-established the necessary connections, I can trust that no matter my "trigger du jour", it's going to get me moving properly into the takeaway and backswing.) This is why 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 ball striking results. That is one reason why the comprehensive, step-by-step, position-by-position learning platform of my online school is so effective, and as such I strongly recommend it to anyone who truly wishes to get on the proper 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 CZcams content. The 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. 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.

That’s the underlying genius of using the Vardon grip properly, something I realized a decade ago.
It’s in the way it forces the forearms to twist in against each other and the arm straight if gripped in the air with bent elbows. Hogan got that wrong in his book- the hand and arms should feel like bending a branch down at the ball, both hand rotating inward as the arms straighten, not opposed directions wringing towel.
At address the hands work against each other and as the backswing starts because how the pad trail hand is positioned over the lead thumb in the Vardon grip the trail wrist is FORCED into maxed out extension, which for most is 45°. Maxing up extension of the wrist EARLY in the backswing is what will force the trail elbow down like a server picking up a tray setting up the LEVERAGE needed to control the direction the club head tries to steer the mass of the lead arm it is pulling straight at that point in the backswing.
This cause and effect is seen if you swing the club with just one arm, lead then trail. A lot of power can be generated by swinging with the lead arm alone but it is difficult to keep it “Connected” and under control. If swung in just the trail arm you can be more accurate hitting balls that way because of the leverage maxing out extension and forcing the arm into elbow down external rotation creates, but not as much power as lead arm only.
Moving the mass of the lead arm pulls the club down, the leverage created by hinging the trail one controls the path automatically IF the trail arm hinges correctly, which the Vardon grip forces it to do without needing to think about it!
This drill is great for reminding the conscious brain how the trail arm should fold to control the path of the lead one-like a waiter lifting a tray but bent forward.
Try gripping the club in the air with elbows bent neutral hands like praying 🙏🏼 but with the face of the club closed 45° \ then rotate bring it square behind ball. You will be amazed at the counter-torque it creates between forearms and hands and how it will make it physically impossible to get the face of the club open enough to slice the ball because of the way it maxes out extension of the trail wrist through impact.
I appreciate your validating remarks regarding this drill as well as the additional supporting detail. Interesting grip tip, by the way. Thanks for sharing!
@@SagutoGolf I do a lot of experimentation on the cause and effect of physics and leverage in a golf swing and reading on the history of how the equipment and techniques evolved.
In the 1800s golfers would grip the club normally but then twist the hands and literally drag the toe of the club behind the hands on the ground the first six or so inches until the hands pulling against the inertia of the club head stabilized it to avoid the torque created by the head attaching at the heel twisting shaft open and shut during the swing differently with each bespoke crafted club. I tried doing that and discovered the more the club looped to the outside on the way back as the toe swung around the more it wanted to swing back inside on the way down. Just try it and you’ll understand how and why Jim Furyk’s loopy swing worked and why he was the most accurate in terms of fairways and greens hit. Then read the Wikipedia about how pendulums work. The rotation of the earth and gravitation force makes a swinging pendulum (or golf club head mass) want to swing in a figure-8 pattern not a straight line. So the more you take the club back wide ala Hogan the more it automatically wants to come back down close to the body, literally forcing the trail elbow into the body and increasing ‘connection’ pressure at the armpit at the same time. Learning to incorporate that ‘loopy’ feel into my swing made it more automatic and consistent once I also figured out now to grip the club properly.
Try dragging the club back toe trailing with just the trail (right hand) just letting it loop around and come back down. On the way down the Vardon grip will force the trail arm elbow down and into the ideal external rotating via leverage and if you release your back foot normally you’ll find yourself hitting dead straight shots one handed perhaps better than with two hands. It worked because of how the club head looping around the hands forces the trail arm wrist joint to max out in extension.
I love how you can see your old divot strip from before 😂
LOL! I do try to keep it consistent and make it easy on the superintendent and his grass!
Pro's always talked about finding something that brought their swing back and they were now playing much better.
Well, Tom made a video I think recently where he talked about the importance of pulling that lead leg back, what many instructors call firing your hips. Well, firing hips is fine but Tom this one thing you talked about changed everything. By initiating the downswing by pulling (or firing) that lead-leg back I got both my timing and speed back. As an added bonus the centrifugal force of creating that additional speed helps in squaring the club without any additional manipulation.
One of my friends at the range said, you look like Rory McIlroy, hitting these crisp shots every time. I feel there is even more speed that I can apply.
Oh...BTW... I'm 73 years young and only 5'7" in stature.
That is *OUTSTANDING* - I'm very glad to know that the hip lesson you referenced clicked with you; excellent job incorporating it into your swing and putting it into play!! 💪💪
Thanks so much for sharing your improvement, keep up the great work, and keep those Rory comparisons coming!!

I am trying the stack and tilt after a 20 year layoff from golf but my old flipping swing is getting in the way. I am getting the club in the slot but closing the clubface at the last minute and hitting everything left. Hard to eliminate old habits

Love your vids! I did notice that in your swing, at the top, you are across the line, and your trail arm is away from your body just a little. Clearly, it works, but is this pulling in a bit of your old swing at all? All said with respect. :31 secs
I'm glad you're enjoying my content, Scott!
I'd be hesitant about that across the line observation as camera angle can really skew our perspective in that regard. As for the trail arm, 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.
Thanks,
Tom
@@SagutoGolf You rock. I thought about the camera angle after I sent my message. And at first, I was glued. But then I didn't feel "athletic". So, I said it's ok to have a little space, just maintain the structure. Thank you so much for helping my golf swing!
IDK if you have any vids yet in the bank where you body cam from start to finish?
Explain the whole process from picking your target, intermediate point, walking up to the ball and how you setup.
Nope. Sorry Johnny - no body cam footage because, well, no body cam......😎
@@SagutoGolf Get to it! haha! I'm killin it right now in MN.
par is 34. Shot a 35 and a 37 yesterday. Mosquitoes were BAD. Missed 1 green and it was a par 3. Kinda pulled it. Chipped up easy though for a quick par. All the approaches on green...ever since I stopped going for the damn flag, I've been insanely consistent. THE CONE EFFECT bb

Does this work with the driver?
Yes - this 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: czcams.com/video/o0xscMyN3v8/video.html

Can u make video with aerial and rear view of your swing in slow motion?
Your questions are once again venturing into the realm of detail that is beyond the scope of this forum but which you will find readily available on-demand in the online school. Please consider enrolling. I do not think you will be disappointed. saguto.golf
I think your onto something with that drill…too many people try to hit it with a swing that is too upright and so the swing “digs” into the ground..plus they are trying to emulate a pendulum golf swing which seems practical on paper but is inconsistent in real life..
I'm glad to know that this lesson and drill resonated with you, Joel, and your comment is spot on!
The swing is a tilted circle (or arc, if we wish to get technical), the circumference of which extends from the ball to above and behind our shoulders. As such, if we are going to remain on that circle/arc it requires the hands and club to take a slightly inward path - not a disconnected handsy snatch or roll to the inside - just a natural tracing of the outer rim or circumference. The feeling of "straight back" can easily pull the golfer off of that preestablished geometry right from the start, and from there precise compensatory actions are necessary if there is any hope of returning the clubface to the ball on the proper path time after time. So rather than have to rely on "dropping it in the slot" the exact amount each and every swing, why not just put in the slot from the start and just keep it there?!
We create depth in this swing, and that enables us to fully engage the shoulders and harness the tremendous power of swinging on an inclined arc courtesy of the seemingly effortless force known as "angular momentum" - where physics and geometry collide.

Still struggling using these "simple tips". Don't worry I'm not giving up though.
I understand, Gregory. The "ghosts of swings past" are stubborn, but your persistence will ultimately conquer them! Golf is indeed a very difficult sport. But if we can simplify the swing so as not to rely on timing and/or exceptional hand-eye coordination - and we can - then we will be able to achieve consistently great results without having to continuously work so hard. So we put in the time and effort on the front end to build the swing, and then we can enjoy low maintenance, powerful, predictable, body-friendly ball striking bliss for the rest of our lives!
