Hey Tom, great video. This is my second week using your technique. My iron game was ridiculously long. I was 244yds out on a par 5. Took my 2 iron and landed pin high just left of the green. But, as usual, I was hooking my driver a lot on the back 9. Just saw your video about grips and will utilize a neutral grip to see if I improve my accuracy with my driver.

Geez. I hate it when that happens, and I am so very sorry for the difficulties that have arisen as a result of your newfound crispiness as well as my apparent indifference with regard to your suffering..... 😆😆😆 That's AWESOME! 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 sharing your dramatic improvements in ball striking and distance, and keep up the fantastic work!! 💪💪 Tom

I have had the same problem, on course went to the 150 yard marker, used my goto ball, and hit 9,8,7 & 6 - got reading & moved on

I'm in the same boat. I'm on a 220yd uphill par 3 with wind in face. Grabbed my 4 iron and overshot the green by 15yds. This is my second week using the stack and tilt technique.

Not surprised by these comments it’s the same for me.. yesterday I played a dog leg right with an uphill green and my driving was too straight so that I should normally have to play a full 4 i . I decided to hit a 6i just to be down the very high green and I found my ball on this green. The first time I used Saguto’s S&T… Unbelievable !

OUTSTANDING!! 💪💪 Yes - rather than address the root cause the golfing world has been conditioned to keep on strengthening the grip until the slices dissipate, but doing so brings about a whole new array of possible issues. It's like putting your finger on a leak only to have a new and worse one spring up elsewhere. Anyway, I'm very glad to know that this lesson worked so well for you; excellent job incorporating it into your swing and putting it into play. Thanks so much for sharing your improvement and keep it crispy!!

That's fabulous, Tom!! I'm very glad to know that this grip lesson resonated with you; excellent job incorporating it into your swing and putting it into play. By the way, 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. 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? That's where - among many other courses and lessons covering various aspects of the game - 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. 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. 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

LOL!! And the food analogies "feed" upon each other, thereby increasing the FRPM's and causing Tom to get hungrier with each passing reference.... 😆😆

Print the shirts!

Well done, Brian! Yes - forward shaft lean at impact should be the result of a good setup and a properly executed motion. It is not something we should try to actively contrive or manufacture. By the way, as a relative "newbie" to this greatest of games, perhaps you might wish to consider the comprehensive, structured, sequential learning platform of my online school? That's where - among many other courses and lessons covering various aspects of the game - 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.

I'm glad to know that this lesson resonated with you, Terry, and I'm very pleased to learn of your ball striking improvement! With regard to the driver, 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: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-o0xscMyN3v8.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) The low point of your swing should still be slightly after the ball with the driver. Many believe - and some even teach - that we must try to "hit up on the ball" with this club. 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.

@@SagutoGolf What a great write-up!

Outstanding write up!

When I add in lateral hip movement I struggle with solid contact because of the angle change of upper body. Head doesn't move, hips slide forward means upper body tilts slightly away from target and lowers low point of swing slightly. Need more reps O guess.

My pleasure, Bill, and thanks again for your kind words, support, and validation! Keep up the fabulous work! Tom

I'm very glad to learn of your ball striking improvement, Taylor - nice job! If you were previously prone to a steep, over-the-top downswing path (and slices as a result), then you may have habitually closed the face at address and/or strengthened your grip to compensate. If your path is now corrected then these can definitely affect ball flight. If so, try opening the face ever so slightly at address and weakening your grip to see if that helps. Beyond that, 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.

Thanks Russ! I hope this grip modification produced some crispy patterns on your divot board!! Tom

Thanks! I hope that grip thing performed well for you!

👍👍

Yeah....what's he know?......😆😆 Anyway, I'm glad to know that this lesson resonated with you, Mike! Strong grips may feel nice and powerful - and comfortable - but in reality they have destroyed countless amateur swings and games across the globe when deployed as an anti-slice band-aid. A neutral grip absolutely does not encourage an out-to-in path. In fact, in the system I teach a neutral grip is the preferred attachment for our stock powerful push-draw ball flight, and you can only achieve that through a proper in-to-out route to the ball that the neutral grip helps us to ingrain. Conversely, a strong grip is used in our system as one of the setup features for a pull-fade shape. Go figure, right? But the physics and geometry do not lie... So get out there and embrace the weirdness of a more neutrally positioned trail hand. Give it some time and you'll ultimately reap the crispy benefits and the more reliable ball flight. Tom

Thanks so much, Mike! I sincerely appreciate your ongoing support and I hope this grip tweak performs well for you!! Tom

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!

@@SagutoGolf thank you so much for the detailed reply! I will be sure to try this out on the range. I loved the mini-course! It was incredibly helpful. You're the man, Tom!

Hey Vinny - I'm not quite there yet beyond assisting my online school members with swing video analyses to keep them progressing on the proper track. However, I must say that the results are off the charts. If you are not interested in going that route and prefer in-person, then I recommend finding a local Stack and Tilt instructor through this site: stackandtilt.com/find-an-instructor/ Be sure to tell them that Tom sent you! TS

I'm glad to know that this grip lesson resonated with you, Neil! Yes - a good setup provides the necessary foundation for a golfer to properly execute the motion, and excepting the occasional lucky strike the reverse is an absolute! Tom

👍

Sounds good, Doug. I hope it helps!! Tom

Hi Charles, I tend to think more in terms of where the creases formed by our thumbs and forefingers are pointing. For a neutral grip that would be somewhere between the trail eye and the trail ear. (My guess is that would equate to 1-2 knuckles). Tom

I do have a number of videos on this channel where I've used a shot tracer. Here are a few of them: - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cVggUORbs5I.html - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UnOMjaDl3fE.html - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NthJA6TTZpo.html - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CSAvOMD7m_A.html - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-o0xscMyN3v8.html - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pQEriWz9hGI.html Tom

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: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-o0xscMyN3v8.html 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.

Hi Greg, Your lead arm should hang down naturally from the shoulder relatively straight and without any "forcing" at address, and we should then be able to preserve that level of tension-free straightness throughout the motion. I've probably already shared with you 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. _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. If you really want to purge all those thoughts and take ownership of a powerful, repeatable, body-friendly swing, then 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. 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. Let's get you out of that abyss and into the wonderful world of consistently crispy ball striking bliss. Tom

Yep! I am both a Class A PGA Professional and a Certified Stack and Tilt Instructor. Here is the story of my "conversion": ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PM8lNNrMPEk.html And here is an episode documenting my week at S&T Instructor Camp in Miami: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-m9qdPOzYUWU.html This body-friendly, powerful, consistent, low-maintenance Stack and Tilt swing system is designed to provide a lifetime of great ball striking, and since it is rooted in physics, geometry, and human physiology it does not discriminate by age or ability - from kids to seniors and everything in between, and inclusive of the best players in the world. I give all credit where it is due - including Andy Plummer and Mike Bennett for analyzing and interpreting the science, and to those who preceded them with their empirical observations of the game's best ball strikers and all their subsequent chalkboard number-crunching. I just do my best to take what they have built and convey it in my own simplified teaching style, and as a result 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 through my online school's step-by-step lessons and drills, and I'm happy to let their unsolicited testimonials tell the story: saguto.golf/p/sagutogolfreviews.

We gotta grip it before we rip it, right Bob?! Keep it crispy out there! Tom

@@SagutoGolf exactly!!!

Hi Keith, That eye dominance video was from last year, and if you place your mouse pointer on my face at the 4:18 mark of this recent video you will see the head cocking back. Of course I would be inclined demonstrate a somewhat more exaggerated move for educational purposes on a video that is specific to the eye topic! Tom

@@SagutoGolf Thanks! That makes sense.

The face is open a degree or two to the target line at address. Consider that the zero-point of the swing is even with the lead shoulder/armpit from a face-on view. The face would be square to the target there, but since the ball position is behind that spot, without any contrived manipulations this causes the face to be ever so slightly open to the target line. This relationship - face open to the target and closed to the in-to-out downswing path - is how we achieve the stock push-draw ball flight of this swing system. I hope this explanation aids in your understanding! Tom

Hi Patricia, Consider the following possibilities: 1) Ball position is too far forward, 2) Hands are too far back at address (they should be in line with the inside of your lead thigh), 3) The swing center and low point are drifting backwards at some point during the motion (face-on video will help you determine this), 4) The downswing is steep and/or the path is out-to-in, 5) Early extension of the trail arm during the downswing (also known as "casting"), 6) Flipping/scooping through the zone, 7) Loss of relationship with the ball (shoulder angle flattening, loss of tilt). Though not an exhaustive list, those are the primary causes of fats, thins, and tops. By the way, always begin with the setup - in this case the first two possibilities - prior to diving into a swing intervention. By the way, there are entire sections of my online school dedicated to diagnosing and resolving common swing, contact, and ball flight issues. Have you looked into it? That's where - among many other courses and lessons covering various aspects of the game - 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. 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.

99%? Really? That would be quite sad if it were actually true, Rory... Mine is a neutral grip, with both creases pointing in the vicinity of my trail ear. That aside, deterring you from your desired grip is not the point here. A strong grip - when deployed as an anti-slice band-aid - is precisely that: a patch for a deficiency or flaw somewhere upstream in the swing motion that the teacher or golfer can't or won't fix. If, on the other hand - so to speak 😎 - it is simply a matter of personal preference, then we should endeavor to remain keenly aware of our ball flight as it is quite adept at telling us if our grip is starting to leak too much to the strong side. TS

Its about finding the balance for your swing. 99% of amateurs also struggle with fades and slices as their misses, but once you get your swing moving the right way, the "left hand stronger right hand weaker' grip alot of instructors teach to help slicers hit the ball straighter, will actually make you start hooking like crazy. Once you get the swing path in to out reliably, you really have to be conscious of things that will make you over-rotate the face, and will have to weaken the grip to avoid it. It's a hell of a cycle sometimes :)

My pleasure, Eric! I'm very glad to know that this grip lesson resonated with you, and I hope it helps you to gain control of your ball flight when you put it into practice! By the way - and as I mentioned in the video - if you've grown accustomed to your strong grip then this change to a more neutral trail hand attachment can feel awkward at first and may produce some odd shots. But this is normal when trying to incorporate the necessary changes in the spirit of lasting improvement. As the crispiness builds in the weirdness will surely dissipate. Embrace the process and you WILL feel crispier impact and see your ball flight improve!

I sincerely appreciate your kind words and support, Scott, 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! The way I see it, we can either simply put the already existing natural laws to work and thereby build a powerful, body-friendly, repeatable, low-maintenance motion, or we can twist, morph, torque, contrive, and otherwise mess with the principles of physics and geometry in an effort to better suit some ill-conceived whims, all the while recognizing that at the point of impact those pre-existing laws are going to be the only things that matter to the ball. Unfortunately, however, 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). I’m doing my best here to clear these up and put an end to this madness. Thanks again for your message, and I look forward to seeing you soon in the online school!! Tom

@bigjimeats6126 - I appreciate that! The course vlogs are rather difficult for me to justify from a cost-benefit perspective.

@leblunt27 - No worries - the ladies have spoken.....😆

I simply select the proper club for the shot and execute the swing, Dylan. It's really as simple as that. In this swing system we can flight it as high or low as we want with some minor setup adjustments. For example, here is a shot shaping demonstration featuring a fellow teaching pro when we were attending the Stack & Tilt Instructor Camp together in Miami: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IcmKxfLz9EM.html 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 Tom
