I am Tom Saguto, PGA Member and founder of SagutoGolf. Thank you for visiting my instructional page where you can find how to get on the fast track to improving your golfing abilities. Whether you are a seasoned golfing veteran looking for a quick swing tune-up after an on-course emergency, or a beginner just looking to get the most out of your golfing experience, I am here to help you achieve your golfing goals.
My mission as your swing doctor is simple, to help you maximize your enjoyment in game of golf. Because, let’s face it, golf is a hard game.
My philosophy is wholly based on the student having a fun, meaningful experience in a frustrating and complicated game where potential lifelong golfers either quit because it is too difficult or that they experience some form of swing-related pain or discomfort. I mitigate these problems by focusing entirely on the student’s needs and goals while teaching a golf swing method that ultimately takes stress off of the common pain areas of the swing. - Sport

Good advice but I used to be soft focused on “quiet hands” that I wasn’t snapping through the swing and getting full extension so dont freeze hands entirely
HI Tom,
With regard to the erroneous notion that we need to manufacture some type of a rolling or flipping "release", given the inability of most folks to spend sufficient time at the range to lock in the required exactness of this action this misguided thought has led countless golfers astray. It's not something that most pros are trying to actively manufacture during the split second that the clubhead is traveling a distance of approximately 6' from parallel to parallel at speeds in excess of 100 mph. The forearms will naturally "trade places" from pre- to post-impact, but this should not be construed as a contrived move (although many a casual observer has gone down that rabbit hole). There really ought not be any active manipulation of the hands through the zone and attempts to precisely time any such rolling or flipping - which does nothing for swing speed - have relegated many an amateur to the vast abyss of inconsistency and frustration. Here are a few of my channel episodes that may help to clarify:
- czcams.com/video/Fe2kQ44azJ4/video.html
- czcams.com/video/SunCR5uJ_ao/video.html
- czcams.com/video/zw7Rzstq4gY/video.html
So, 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 wrist 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.
I hope that gives you some more perspective in this topic!

Your channel is great. My ball striking has improved drastically just by watching your clips and putting your advice into practice
Awesome!! 💪💪
I sincerely appreciate your kind words and I'm very glad to know that my instruction is resonating well with you!!
Thanks so much for sharing your improvement and keep up the great work!!

Have you enrolled yet? It will put you on the fast track towards really mastering this system and taking ownership of a consistent, powerful, low-maintenance, body-friendly swing. Thousands of men and women from across the globe - including many seasoned, 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 I'm happy to let their unsolicited testimonials tell the story: saguto.golf/p/sagutogolfreviews.
Can’t tell you how many times I tell my students this. They all think they need to flip the hands at impact and it’s just not accurate.
I know, Paul - right? It's not something that the pros are trying to manufacture during the split second that the clubhead is traveling a distance of approximately 6' while hurtling through space at a speed in excess of 100 mph. The forearms will naturally "trade places" from pre- to post-impact, but folks routinely misconstrue this to be a contrived move. There should not be any active manipulation of the hands through the zone, and attempts to precisely time any such rolling or flipping - which does nothing for swing speed - have led many an amateur to the vast abyss of inconsistency and frustration.
Thanks for your validation and support!!

Great tip! Thank you!
Thanks - I appreciate that and I'm glad you enjoyed it!!

Same as for 80/90 out into the wind using say 8 iron 3 o’clock/ 9 o’clock 🎉🎉🎉 straight as a die. 🥊🥊
Well done, Brucie!!

Just a tip. If you already aren’t squaring the club face at impact this will not help you. I tend to keep the face open too much at impact so my in to out swing with my wrists like this opens the club face like crazy giving me a slice to the moon.
Hi Jo-el,
Your comment begs the question, "Why is your club opening in the first place?" If it is square at setup, then some type of ill-advised manipulation is occurring during the motion that is causing the open face at impact. Here is a recent lesson video on this very topic: czcams.com/video/q942yzWm__8/video.html

Seems like a sure fire way to drag the handle

It's very important to not use this advice to "hold off" the club which caused me to have early extension to square the club face. You have to allow your wrists to release. ALL pros have released wrists post impact. Keeping the wrists too quiet and square made me lose 10 yards of distance and lots of blocks to the right, not to mention all the early extension errors from compensating. I think you are subconsciously doing a release without knowing it. Might just be error in messaging. When you accomplish it, sure the shots go straight, but by not allowing a free release of the wrists you are fighting inertia and the natural rotation of the club. I think this advice is ok for beginners but for people with more control of the club will take it too literally as I did. The body cannot move as fast as the hands to square it in time for high speed swings imo.
I'm sorry that you misunderstood this lesson, Weldon. I'm not "holding off the club", and beyond that an added benefit to what I am teaching here is that it actually prevents early extension!

As for the "messaging" and this being "ok for beginners", well in actuality the 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 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. 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 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).
Thanks for your message.
Tom
@@SagutoGolf I agree on the "rolling" of the wrists. But Malasaka, Cogormo and others show that there is somewhat of a "flip" but the flip feel is 45 degrees past impact. So you are technically not manipulating at impact but it allows your wrist to hinge naturally in the feels vs reals category. Thank you for your response. Your advice has definitely simplified the swing for me quite a bit overall. Just wanted to give my feedback from what I experienced taking things too literally. I think it could also be grip related as Malaska and a few others teach a slightly stronger grip, at least for me, by letting your arms hang in front of you in golf stance and see how many knuckles you see is how you should grip the club. This puts me another 1/2 knuckle strong which should square the club face without the extension and compensations
Jumbomax sighting 👌🏻
Yes indeed! Ultralites in extra-large. I personally love the feel as well as how they help to keep my hands quiet through the zone.
TS
@@SagutoGolf They’re great.I use the Small Utralite.I lost half of my right thumb in an accident and they help tremendously with clubface awareness and turning my hands over too much.Also your videos help a lot
@nic t - Thanks - I'm glad you're enjoying my content!!
So could we preset our hands forward
Hi Barry,
The stock hand position for this swing is even with the inside of our lead thigh. With the exception of some specialty shots, the ball position is going to be behind the hands to varying degrees depending on the club selection, so by default we are presetting our hands forward.
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 learning some key aspects of the swing system I teach in a more structured manner: go.saguto.golf/
Tom
@@SagutoGolf my first move I'd to push the hands into forward position then it propels me into the backswing all in one motion
@Barry Hurst - That's a fine swing trigger as long as you are pushing the hands forward into their proper position and not beyond that.
Great lesson…So true….An old Moe Norman move!!
Glad you enjoyed it, Beau!

Sounded a lil thin Tom ?😏
I dunno - That 184 yards of carry with a 7 iron felt pretty flush to me.... 😎
@@SagutoGolf thin to win 😏
How do you keep your wrists this way because i have pull when I hit it great, not a hook but it goes left and keeps turning left sometimes
