This Simple Golf Swing Move Will Change Your Life! 

LOL! Thanks John - I sincerely appreciate that and I look forward to your foretold "explosion"!! 😎 TS

Agree completely 👌

You didn't just break 80, @BR - you absolutely obliterated it!! 💪💪 Congratulations on your new personal best!! Thanks so much for sharing your success and keep up the great work!! Tom

Awesome mate , I can relate to this ... early in my round when I’m cold I tend to top the ball a lot and then after a couple holes I start hitting golf shots , I’m 99# sure I’m not tilting when I’m cold

Congrats man

That’s awesome. Congrats. May I ask approximately how old you are?

@@petersmith8113 I’m absolutely clueless unless I warm up with a minimum of 25 full wedge shots. Better yet 25 each of a wedge, 6-iron and driver. I try never to start a round unless I’ve warmed up first.

Thanks Thomas - I'm glad you enjoyed it!! When you consider that no less than 100% of the best players in the game tilt, it does make sense that we probably should as well, right?? 😎 Sadly, this critical component somehow flies under the radar of most "conventional" instruction. 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 about the swing in a more structured manner: go.saguto.golf/ Have fun out there! TS

I'm glad this lesson resonated so well with you, Larry!! Yep - no fewer than 100% of the best players in the world tilt, so there must be something to it....right???.... 😎 Keep up the excellent work!! TS

My pleasure, Dennis. I hope that helps!! TS

My pleasure, Russ - I'm glad to know that you enjoyed this lesson! TS

Awesome!! I'm very glad to know that this lesson helped you!! Tom

Glad you enjoyed it, John! I replied separately to your email regarding the longer clubs and chipping. There is a short course on long irons and hybrids in the school. It's short because the swing is essentially the same for all clubs - just a few setup tweaks and naturally occurring path changes as we move from shorter to longer clubs. Also as mentioned in my email, I hope to see you participating soon in the members forum! TS

Well done, Bob!! Yes - our relationship with the ball is preserved by the combined tilting, turning, and extending motions that occur in a properly executed backswing. Keep up the great work! TS

Thanks so much - I sincerely appreciate that!!

I'm glad this one resonated well with you, Frank. Sounds like you have a good understanding of this, so I am confident you'll be able to work this into your swing through proper repetition. Thanks! Tom

Thanks Shane - I appreciate the kind words and I'm very glad to know that my instruction is resonating well with you!! Keep up the great playing and have fun out there!! Tom

AWESOME work, Kenny!! Thanks for sharing, and I hope you get to feeling better really soon!! Tom

That's awesome, @Ayatollah OfRoknrollah!! Here's some preliminary advice to help you get off to a good start in the 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 membership - 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! 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

Sounds great, Goldie - I hope this works well for you!! Keep it crispy - with a side of mashed potatoes, of course!...😎 Tom

Thanks so much, Robert - I'm very glad to know that this lesson resonated so well with you!! Keep It Simple Swinging! 😎 Tom

My pleasure, Darleen - I'm glad you enjoyed it!! Tom

Sounds like a plan, Greg. Tilting will maintain your relationship with the ground and help prevent you from shifting off the ball. Have fun out there!! Tom

Thanks again for sharing your improvement, Steven!! I replied to your message in another thread, though I appreciate your support in posting this again!! TS

Thanks Dean!! Keep up the great work and have fun beating your buddies! Cheers, Tom

LOL!! Keep up the great work, Kentay, and enjoy a pint of stout for me!! Cheers, Tom

Thanks so much - I sincerely appreciate your support!! Tom

Nice timing, Matthew! I hope it makes for a crispy range session!! TS

How did it go?

Just finished. Took my time. Got a half bucket of extra crispy and half original recipe. Took some extra time on chipping from the Cole slaw and some putting. League tmrw night. Gotta get better. Thanks @sagutogolf !!

@Matthew Johnson - Sounds like a pretty decent session, especially considering that you were trying something new and different. By the way, here's a link to my free mini course if you'd like to learn more about this swing in a structured manner: go.saguto.golf/ Good luck in your league play! TS

Awesome job incorporating the tilt into your swing, Rick!! Thanks for sharing! Tom

Thanks for the kind words, Jeffrey - I'm very glad to learn of your progress!! Oftentimes when golfers are hitting everything well except for the longer clubs it can be attributed to one of the following: 1) They don't start with - or maintain - enough weight on the front side. In general with the longer clubs we should add a little more front weight load at address - more like 60/40 instead of the 55/45 prescribed for the other clubs. This forward weight should gradually increase to the top of the backswing (70/30) and build further on the downswing - approximately 80/20 halfway down, 90/10 impact, and 95/5 finish. 2) Their hips are not continuing their lateral slide through impact. This is common with the longer clubs 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, changing the low point and rerouting the club. This can produce a variety of undesirable results including fat and thin contact, topped shots and popups, straight pulls, and “banana” slices. This recent episode may help: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dB4ItR3guGU.html 3) They are not allowing the length of the club to dictate the backswing path and are getting too steep as a result. The shaft length of the longer clubs encourages more of an around the body backswing as established by the shaft plane at address. It may "feel" flat as you take it back along the shaft plane for the first few feet, but as long as you maintain the "weight forward, shoulder down, and hands in" components while allowing the club to work around you, it should put you in the proper position at the top so you can attack the ball from the inside. This is a very common situation as proficiency with the longer clubs tends to lag behind our progress with the short and mid irons. If you'd really like to own this swing through your entire bag please consider enrolling in my online school as so many folks across the globe are now playing the best golf of their lives as a result of the comprehensive, structured, sequential learning platform provided therein.

Hi Clark, I'm very glad to know that my instruction is resonating well with you!! As for my setup, 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.) Also, I have a Real Feel 3x5 Country Club Elite® Golf Mat.

@jbarry80 - That's fantastic!! I'm very glad to learn of your dramatic improvement through my channel's instruction content; nice job incorporating it into your swing!! Sadly, many misconstrued and/or misguided teachings of "conventional" instruction - such as turning the shoulders level while independently lifting the club, shifting into and torquing against a firm trail side, actively rolling the hands through impact, etc. - have relegated generations of golfers to the vast abyss of chronic frustration (and chronic back/knee/hip pain as well). I’m doing my best here to clear these up one by one and put an end to this madness! By the way, 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 from setup to finish - you'll find diagnostic tools for identifying/resolving swing and ball flight issues when they arise, plus advanced level courses on shot shaping, power and distance, and much more.

I'm glad it performed well for you! (not sure why you'd be looking strange swing the club the proper way, although it is true that we don't see much of that going on at the various ranges...😎)

Sounds good, Dylan. I hope it provides some tasty results!! TS

That's awesome, Lee - nice playing!! I'm very glad to know that my instruction content and style are resonating with you. Thanks so much for sharing your fantastic progress and for referring your buddies my way. Keep up the great work and have fun out there!! Tom

LOL!! Regardless, whatever the heck "crispy purée" may be, in this context it's 100% fat shot free!! Glad you enjoyed it! TS

That's fantastic, Tom!!! Your feel reminds me a bit of this Dufner tip about taking the trail shoulder to his ear: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_cH01IRmq1Q.html Great playing, thanks for sharing, and keep up the fabulous work!! Tom

@@SagutoGolf Thanks for that Dufner vid you did. Next time out, I'm gonna give it a try. Another great tip on the shoulders!!! When I get the shoulder down, the ball flies high and true. It's a great thing to see.

Yep - there's a definite cause-and-effect relationship!!

Thanks - I appreciate that!!

I appreciate that. And I agree - there is much to be gained from being able to "sense" the shoulders, not just as a combined unit but also each shoulder individually. Thanks for sharing your method of building in an awareness of the lead shoulder and how that has helped you execute a good motion.

@@SagutoGolf yes, thanks for that. for me the drill has taught me that left shoulder joint extension is a driver in creating tilt. but, at the end of the day, the drill is good fun and it works. it's good exercise; and, it really helps us to develop strength and flexibility in our left hand. and, for me, i can only realease the club thru if i press my left hand against the left side of the shaft in the hitting area. and, the drill enables me to do that. the drill even has a moral that comes with it: "all good things come to he who waits". cheers Tom

Yes - That's a great angle for truly seeing the tilt. They show that view in the S&T book as well. Thanks! Tom

I've never tried it, @DJ-Flights, so I guess you'll have to give us your product review!! TS

Glad you enjoyed it, Steven! With regard to the JumboMax grips, I personally love the feel as well as how they help to keep my hands quiet through the zone. They’re not necessarily for everyone - and my fingers are a bit longer than average - so I routinely tell folks to "try before you buy." Tom

Sounds good, Olivier - I hope it works well for you!! Tom

The combination of tilting and extending while bringing the left arm 45 degrees across the chest provides all the elevation we require, Frank. There's no need for any independent lifting of the hands. TS

I'm glad you enjoyed it, Tim! Tilting should not cause the face to close. Possible culprits include: 1) Something in your backswing is causing your hands and/or wrists to close the face. 2) The downswing path is being routed across the ball (the previous two episodes address this). 3) Your grip may be too strong. 4) You are flipping or rolling the club through the zone.

Your practice sessions must invoke some interesting looks from your fellow rangemates, John..... 😆😆 I do like hitting the wedge to varying yardages; it's a great way to learn how to dial in your distances on those critical scoring shots. TS

@@SagutoGolf I'm not gonna lie, I do get some looks. But I think it's just admiration at my arm pump. Anyways yeah it's been helpful going from full swing to short game shot. It's like a simulated real world situation because I rarely (if ever) have 2 or three full swings in a row on a hole.

Yep - practice like you play! (minus the arm pumps....😎)

Glad you enjoyed it, Kerry! It's been a lot more than a month LOL! As with anyone, there is a process with a swing change, and I had some residual elements of my old shift & lift move that were more resistant than others. But over time as I shored up my connections and fully ingrained/trusted the motion, even these stubborn hangers-on were purged. And yes, definitely more consistency _and_ more distance. TS

Simple - just tilt, turn and extend until you reach the desired end of your abbreviated backswing. The key is to not lose your relationship with the ball at any point no matter the length of the swing. TS

Great!! I hope this tip plays well for you, Britt!!!

sounds exactly like me. though 79 only once (I had a great chance when I came off a front nine -1, but had a couple blowup holes on the back).

Thanks! I'm glad this lesson resonated with you, Jason! If you can stand upright and tilt your upper torso to either side, then you can execute the tilt in the golf swing!

The "buttons to the sky" lesson does not conflict with this at all, Roger. That was a lesson on how to build in more of the extension component, but we are still tilting at the same time. Tilt, Turn, Extend!! TS

No, Matt - there is not weight shift to the trail side in my swing, including the video you referenced since my switch to S&T predates this channel by a few years. Having said that, this system certainly allows for some brief transfer of pressure into the trail side during the takeaway. After all, we are moving the mass of the arms and club backwards during that initial stage of the swing. 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 head - and thereby our swing center and low point - to drift back at any point. TS

Hi Rob, 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. (And always remember, I am most definitely not "everyone else on YT". 😆 But unfortunately, 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.......) By the way, here's a link to my free mini-course “The Top 3 Things You Need to Be a Great Ball Striker” if you’re interested in checking it out: go.saguto.golf/ Have fun out there! Tom

You certainly can maximize your swing speed (and consistency) as well, Marybeth! Have you considered 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 from setup to finish. So many folks across the globe are now enjoying the best golf of their lives as a result.

LOL!! Glad you enjoyed the lesson....and cinnamon rolls.... 😎

That's fantastic, Jack - nice job incorporating this lesson into your swing so quickly! When you consider that no less than 100% of the best players in the game tilt, it does make sense that we probably should as well, right?? Sadly, this critical component flies under the radar of most "conventional" instruction. Keep up the great work! Tom

feels straight towards target line but it probably comes a bit right as well something you really don't think about if your stacked over the ball and tilting in back swing everything sorta naturally happens

@Joe Youll - In this swing system the lead knee should not move towards the trail side. In the backswing the lead knee always works straight down in the direction established at address - which should be flared slightly outward towards the target. This keeps the weight forward and the swing center intact. Any inward movement of the lead knee will shift the center and low point backwards. This can lead to inconsistency and may also cause some discomfort to the knee. TS
