How to Make the Golf Swing Easy - 2 Basic Moves for Great Ball Striking Every Time 

I am already in your online school🤣🤣🤣

This is applied to every club in the bag?

I bought the divot board and after using it discovered, wait for it, I was moving too much weight to my right side. Once I started pivoting better and keeping more weight on the left side, I was able to take a divot ahead of the ball. I played the next day and discovered the effortless power you talk about. I had to adjust because, a few times, I would yank it down from the top and pull the heck out of the ball. I just told myself - no need to yank it down from the top anymore - effortless power. After that correction, I was smoking them! Holy cow! My buddy was calling me Dick Masheter. I was just mercilessly mashing the golf ball. I experienced the course from places I'd never played before. Thanks SagutoGolf!

Thank you again, Bernard! I'm very glad to know that my lesson content and teaching style are resonating with you and providing clarity in the muddied, overly complicated, oft-conflicting realm of golf instruction. Thanks for sharing your improvement and keep up the great work! Tom

Yeah. Too bad about the scorecard issue that got you DQ'ed from the US Open after being in contention this weekend, Stanley. Sadly, basic math is not part of my golf instruction, otherwise I'd be semi-retiring with my coach's share of your winnings. Nice going....

I appreciate your kind words and support, Louis, and I'm very glad to know that you are benefiting from my instruction and enjoying my teach style!! Tom

@@SagutoGolf we all appreciate you. Keep it up!!

Palmer tip pointing left shoulder at ball gave me a reference point of big confidence that really has done something for my game . I feel it almost naturally produces a swing angle that maximizes potential!

@LOUIS WOLFERT - My pleasure!!

The way I see it, we can either simply put the already existing natural laws to work for us, 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!

Thanks Teddy, and it's great to hear from you!! I hope all is well with you!! Tom

I'm very glad to know that my instruction is resonating well with you, Ryan! With regard to your comment about pushing the handle, it's important to understand that an effective, repeatable golf swing is best built on a compilation of personal "feels" that are unique to each of us individually. Over time we ingrain these feels into a complete motion that we can execute without need for mechanical thoughts. We are then able to simply allow our ball striking and shot shape to be our guide. Have you considered joining the online school and taking 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 from setup to finish - you'll find diagnostic tools for identifying and resolving swing and ball flight issues when they arise as well as all my short game instruction, plus advanced level courses on shot shaping and power/distance. So many folks across the globe - including many seasoned, low-handicap, competitive players - are now enjoying the best golf of their lives as a result.

Tom

I'm glad this version resonated well with you, Ken! I do my best to convey multiple “feels” or thoughts throughout the swing wherever possible because 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. This is one reason is why the comprehensive, structured, sequential learning platform of my online school is so effective, and why so many folks across the globe are now enjoying the best golf of their lives as a result. 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.

Thanks - I'm glad you enjoyed it!!

That's fabulous, @Hockeyfan One - I'm thrilled know that my instruction is beginning to resonate with you, and I hope you had a great time on the course with your sons!! Here's some preliminary advice to help you get off to a good start in the online school: 1) Regardless of a member's skill level, this swing necessitates a complete reboot for someone transitioning from a shift & lift swing (which is typically the case), and therefore it is imperative that one take sufficient time to ensure that the fundamental components are mastered. 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. (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.) I cannot emphasize this enough, as frustrations predominantly occur when students jump ahead in the curriculum without properly dedicating themselves to the foundational base upon which our consistently repeatable, powerful, low maintenance swing must be built. Chapter 1 of the Golf Swing Simplified program (GSS) and Part I of Get Out & Go Play (GOGP) both address this. 2a) GSS: One of the many great things about this swing is that you can achieve solid ball striking even at the most basic levels. This is why I oftentimes will suggest that students park themselves on Chapter 2 of the GSS course for an extended period of time after locking down Chapter 1's foundational elements. Chapter 2 reinforces the body motions and the weight-forward component, and it culminates with what I call "The Best Golf Swing Practice Drill of All Time". Work yourself sequentially and gradually through the chapter, and then commit yourself to that drill in Lesson 2.8. Learn it. Practice it. Master it. You can even use this partially abbreviated swing on the course and play quite well with it as it will provide plenty of distance. (It actually is the full swing minus just a couple of power accumulators.) Once you've got that down, you will be well prepared to move forward in the curriculum and well on your way towards taking ownership of YOUR swing! 2b) GOGP: This quick-start program is exactly as it sounds - it is designed to fast-track you out onto the course so you can have fun - and success - playing as you learn! Should you choose this path, everything in #1 above still applies, and as implied above in 2a you will still want to work through it sequentially and gradually, mastering each lesson before moving ahead to the next one. In this program, Drill #5 - The Flying Wedge is the one you'll want to park yourself on and nail down. 3) Also, as you progress always keep in mind the V1 Swing Video Analysis service, an effective and inexpensive service that I highly recommend to everyone in the school. I liken it to bringing your swing into the shop for a tune-up or minor repair. Scheduling one on a quarterly basis for preventive maintenance will do wonders for keeping things humming along nicely, and it's also a great tool for pinpointing and resolving any issues that arise. The process involves downloading the free V1 app and then submitting two videos to me through the app - one down-the-line (captured from your stance line, not the target line) and the other face-on. You'll find more information about the V1 Analysis halfway down this page on the Saguto.Golf site: saguto.golf/p/sagutogolf 4) Finally, please migrate over to the SagutoGolf Community Forum - which is included in your online school enrollment - and begin engaging with your fellow members. It only takes a minute or two to enroll - just go to your “My Courses” screen and you’ll see a link to get started. Once signed in you’ll be able to access and participate in the great dialogue that we are having on a variety of topics. You can start discussions, contribute to existing threads, post specific swing questions, make some new friends, and just share in the common bond of golfers from around the world seeking to improve their games and help others to do the same. I really think you’ll enjoy it! Thanks for sharing your story. I look forward to assisting you through the school’s structured lessons and drills towards building a consistent, low maintenance, powerful, body-friendly swing that will bring your enjoyment of this great game to a new level! Tom

LOL! Please don't tell the Colonel, Wayne!!

Congrats on the personal best, Eric!! Seems to me that you are making very nice progress, and the inconsistency you are experiencing is part of the process. The more confident you become with your swing, the more you will be able to trust it and just let it go on the course. At that point you will be enjoying the game of "golf" instead of playing "golf swing". By the way, there's an entire section of my online school dedicated to 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 from setup to finish.

Thanks - I'm very glad to know that you enjoyed the lesson!! Tom

That's fantastic, Greg! I'm very glad to know that this lesson resonated well with you, and I appreciate you sharing your experience with it. With regard to the "short backswing", the key here is get to - but not go beyond - your body's natural stopping point in the backswing where the tilting, turning, and extending motions are complete, the lead arm has crossed the chest 45 degrees, and the wrists are properly set (preferably with a flat or slightly bowed lead wrist). This is the point where if we were to try to go any further any or all of the following will occur: 1) the lead arm will bend and/or lift 2) the wrists will break down 3) the lead knee will kick inward towards the trail side 4) the lead shoulder will level out and lose its orientation towards the ball 5) weight will shift into the trail side and bring the low point back with it, resulting in inconsistent contact and unpredictable ball flight. 6) you'll "chicken wing" and/or flip through impact 7) pain, discomfort, and/or possible injury We don't need to try to get to "parallel" with this swing, and fighting your body in an attempt to do so will result in some combination of the above issues. If you execute this swing properly you will have created width and plenty of distance for that club to travel by taking it in deep, and that will enable you to harness the tremendous power source known as "angular momentum". Perhaps at some point you may consider joining the online school and taking this to the next level? That's where - in addition to detailed lessons and drills that take you through the entire swing step-by-step from setup to finish - you'll find diagnostic tools for identifying and resolving swing and ball flight issues when they arise as well as all my short game instruction, plus advanced level courses on shot shaping and power/distance.

Awesome! I'm glad to know that this helped you to such an extent!! This is a very body-friendly motion as supported by the fact that 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, 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.

Here's a link if you would like to know more about the school - saguto.golf The net is a DIY job. It is approximately 7’ tall and 8’ wide. We used this video as a starting point - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--p11qs4E2T0.html - and then made some other minor PVC support structure modifications to suit our needs. We did not use PVC cement as this allows us to easily disassemble it if necessary. The netting we used is 10' x 10' golf cage impact net purchased from Amazon, and it differs from the screening material in the video. (By the way, if using a net like we did you probably won’t need the screw hooks that are mentioned in the video - bungees should suffice.) As for the background, that is just a meshed tarp with grommets that I had custom printed with my logo. Also, I have a Real Feel 3x5 Country Club Elite® Golf Mat.

Glad you enjoyed it! I will certainly help correct sideways shots, but there are other swing factors involved as well. There's an entire section of my online school dedicated to 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 from setup to finish.

LOL!! Grazie, Marco!!

That's awesome, Will!! Your answer lies in ball flight laws. Clubface angle relative to target line dictates the ball's starting line, and face relative to path determines direction and degree of curvature. From there we can then determine the impact condition that is causing the ball to move the way it does. In Stack & Tilt we utilize the "Shot Shaping Grid" and make simple setup adjustments in order to carve the ball in either direction and to varying degrees. There's no need to change the swing. For example, here is a shot shaping demonstration featuring a fellow teaching pro when we were attending Instructor Camp together in Miami: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IcmKxfLz9EM.html Beyond this, I have an entire advanced level course on shot shaping and controlling ball flight in the online school.

@@SagutoGolf 👏 brilliant. I will check out those resources Tom. Thank you kindly. PS love your humour and banter with Eric Cogorno, I could tell he was trying to keep a straight face with your joke telling, coupled in your golf wisdom and instruction 😄🥸 ⛳️

That's what happens when you efficiently combine physics and geometry, John, which is precisely what this swing system does. As for the S&T thing, this story of my "conversion" should answer your question: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PM8lNNrMPEk.html Then you can have a look at this one documenting my experience at Instructor Camp: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-m9qdPOzYUWU.html And 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 about the swing system I teach in a more structured manner: go.saguto.golf/ Keep up the great work and have fun out there!!

@@SagutoGolf Tom! Thanks for the information! I went back to these videos and I did view them in 2020 and viewed again. Also, I did receive your FREE mini course! Thanks again!

Sounds good, John! I hope the mini- course and those videos from the archives help you!

My hands are always dead unless I'm playing guitar.....😆 Glad you enjoyed it!!

@@SagutoGolf haha nice

Excellent advice, Johnny!!

LOL! I'm guessing that most of the audience would prefer that you not encourage me to break into song anymore than I already do, Craig.... 😎 Thanks - I'm very glad to know that my instruction content and teaching style are resonating with you!!

If you haven't already worked through it, this is 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 think the answer is quite clear if you watch his swing in slow motion. Here's a YT video from another source that shows it from a variety of angles: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Gk9Rc8ilDbk.html Daly simply places no restriction on his hip turn, which then allows his shoulders to freely rotate as much as his body will allow without any stress or strain on the knees, hips, or back. It's a wonderfully fluid motion.

That's great, Lenny! With regard to hitting up on the ball with the driver, 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" - the path should still be ever so slightly down. In fact, believe it or not the PGA Tour average with the driver is actually minus (e.g.: downward) 1.3 degrees - nearly level - and it should feel level to you - but slightly down nonetheless. Thus, I do not advocate trying to hit up on the ball, and efforts to do so due to erroneous advice has caused many an amateur significant issues with their driver. Keep up the fantastic work and have fun out there!! Tom

That's awesome, Roy!! Steve Elkington preset his hips and straightened his trail leg in his setup when he was learning Stack & Tilt...and he even played tour events doing that, so I have no issue with this and actually include it in my online school instruction. Keep up the great work! Tom PS: 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 checking it out: go.saguto.golf/

I'm glad you are enjoying the content, Simon. Let's not get nitpicky about the slightest break that comes from keeping the arms soft and tension-free. For the purpose of the abbreviated swing in the drill it remains straight throughout, and it should "feel" as if it remains straight like that in your full swing (as it does to me). TS

@@SagutoGolf Thanks for the response,Tom ,best wishes .Smon

My pleasure!

“Comfortably straight” is how it should feel
