Ben Hogan's Hip Turn is THE BEST KEPT SECRET of the Golf Swing
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 มิ.ย. 2024
- Ben Hogan's hip turn in the golf swing is rarely discussed in golf swing instruction today but it remains to be one of the most valuable golf swing pieces that you need to know to be good at golf (the best kept secret of the golf swing). Ben Hogan's golf swing is often interpreted literally as "he wrote what he actually did". In reality, Ben Hogan wrote what he "felt". This leads to a lot of misconceptions about what he actually did in the golf swing. These golf swing misconceptions create problems for golfers looking to improve their golf games.
This episode looks at Ben Hogan's hips and how you can use his ACTUAL hip motion to improve your golf swing. To quote Happy Gilmore when talking about the golf swing, "It's all in the hips". This advice reigns true and there's a reason why Ben Hogan viewed the hips as the part of the golf swing that makes the golf swing AUTOMATIC. When you look at exactly how the hips work in the golf swing you will begin to see how Ben Hogan really felt and also understand the golf swing on a much deeper level. This episode will take your golf game to the next level.

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.

Backswing with a smoke ..... like a boss!
Tom,
I had leveled out years ago and stopped playing with any regularity when my kids were born. When I did play, I would rarely keep score because I felt so disconnected and unable to improve. This summer my son turned 7 and took an interest in golf that rekindled my interest. After watching your videos and practicing on my backyard net, I finally feel like I understand a swing. I shot 88 this week on just my third full round of the year. Because of the understanding I got from your videos I was able to accurately identify and correct the couple of missed swings I had that day and not spiral into a bad round. I have never felt as confident in my golf swing. I am excited to play golf again and excited to keep score again. Thank you!
Welcome back to this greatest of games, Paul!! 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 improvement, keep up the fabulous work, and have fun out there creating wonderful on-course memories with your son for many years to come!!

Spiraling is the worst!
I'm 80 years old and been following the conventional shift to right side weight on right foot then back to left foot. This instruction about more weight on the left side is fantastic so you can have easier more hip turn. Can't wait to try it out tomorrow.
Wow. Pretty sure this is the best golf video i have ever watched.
Thanks Nicoles - I'm glad you enjoyed it!! If you haven't already done so I hope you will consider subscribing to my channel as there is plenty more where this cam from!
Tom
Such a great video to keep it simple and easy to understand! Tailbone to the target, weight in the lead foot! Thanks Tom!
Glad you enjoyed it!!
And I truly appreciate V1's fabulous technology and support which have enabled me to take my channel's video content, the SagutoGolf online school, and my private instruction (in-person and virtual) to an entirely new level!!
Thanks!!
Tom
Love how you keep things simple and entertaining!!!
This is one of your best videos in your Hogan series! The clarity, precision and video reference to Mr. Hogan is invaluable and so right on!
Thank you for your love of golf and the instructions you share 🙏
Robert in Sausalito Ca.
Hi Robert,
I sincerely appreciate your very kind words and I'm glad to know that you are enjoying my instruction and teaching style!
Mr. Hogan delivered - and continues to deliver posthumously - phenomenal and timeless instructional value, right?! And I agree - for some reason this Hogan hip move seemed to fly under the radar of "conventional" instruction, yet it is such an important element that can put the entire swing on autopilot.
Thanks again for your support!!
Tom
Your Ben Hogan tip is amazing. Although I read Ben Hogan book many times, I failed to register the essence of his message until I viewed your relevant episode many more than once. Thank you so much. Adnan
Hogan analysis is right on point and clear to understand. It immediately improved my ball striking from the first time I tried it. 13 out of 14 fairways, and 17 out of 18 greens in today's round is enough to convince me to stay with the Hogan / Saguto swing for the rest of my life!
Thank you Tom for that Ben Hogan hip turn. Makes a lot of sense and my game because of that hip turn is getting better and better. Ben Hogan's hip turn is worth working on to improve your golf swing.
I'm glad this lesson resonated well with you, Reggie! When learned properly this move can really set the swing on autopilot for consistently crispy strikes.
Keep up the great work!!
TS
I've binged 10 of Tom's Ben Hogan videos in 3 days after discovering him and they are the 10 best, most simple, most effective videos I've ever seen. Love this guy. Wish I had these lessons 20 years ago...
Thanks so much, Jim - I truly appreciate your kind words and support, and I am very glad to know that you are enjoying and benefiting from my channel's lesson content!!
Mr. Hogan timelessly delivers phenomenal instructional value, right?! But there are just so many misconceptions about Hogan’s swing out there - particularly within the realm of misunderstood or misapplied instruction - that have sadly relegated generations of golfers to the vast abyss of chronic frustration. We're doing our best here to clear these up one by one and put an end to this madness, because if we can get Hogan right there are tremendously effective swing keys to be garnered!!
Tom
Outstanding lesson Tom! You provide golfers outstanding golf lessons whether they are on TH-cam or Golf Swing Simplified on Saguto Golf. There are so many nuggets in all your lessons that I have to watch them more than once to get familiar with the movements. Amazing. Thanks Tom!
Thanks very much for this, I’ve been struggling for a long time with this and couldn’t figure out what I was doing wrong! With in minutes I had it and I’m more consistent and felt more powerful, great stuff.
I'm glad this lesson video helped you, Len!
By the way, due to their popularity I've combined my Hogan lesson videos into a playlist series on this channel. Here's the link if you are interested: th-cam.com/play/PLV62KxT7Mp7IyNDRp0hZK1F1OScdXx-u1.html
Thanks for sharing your success!
Tom
Tom, I have to say that the last video of you telling us how important the shoulder turn is helped me out so much. I was able to hit the range for a while just to pay attention to that. I then proceeded to play my next round, struck the ball much better and broke 80, which was one of my goals for the year. I still don't use a driver, but shooting 41-38 for 79 made my year so far. I really can't wait to get out to you for some in person lessons. Keep the tips coming!
That's *AWESOME* , BOB!! I truly appreciate your kind words and I'm very glad to learn that my channel's instruction has benefited your game to such an extent!! You've obviously done an excellent job taking my lesson content, incorporating it into your swing, and taking ownership of it. Now let's get you hitting the Big Dog properly and watch those scores drop even more!!
Thanks for sharing your success, keep up the great work, and I look forward to seeing you in person!! (Please be sure to schedule your in-person lessons well in advance as slots are limited. Email lessons@saguto.golf once you know your schedule.)
Cheers!
Tom
the illusion that there are `modern` methods to the golf swing
you have clearly dispelled tom, we have the same anatomy as
mr hogan, and he was the maestro ,from relentless study and
modification to the point you are now at, as much possible
error removed from the science of ball striking consistency,
the values are the same now ! thankyou maestro saguto jnr`
😇👍👍👍
I sincerely appreciate your saying that, William!
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, geometry, and human physiology 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 again!
Tom
This really is great content. When this clicked for me I became incredibly consistent basically overnight. For me a slow drag at takeaway and making sure to get weight on my left side makes my entire move feel automatic. Tom does an excellent job explaining how the concept should feel.

Thoroughly enjoyed this deeper analysis of Mr Hogan's backswing. Thanks Tom.
This definitely helps..have been trying to practice my swing with this adjustment , and just played a 9-hole par 3 course..much straighter shots, between 1 and 2 clubs difference...will definitely keep working with it. Thanks a bunch!
I'm glad this lesson resonated well with you and helped your game. Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work!!

Incredible, just tried this, made so much sense, very intuitive once you try it. Thanks Tom, also just stumbled accross your channel for the first time, watched this and your Hogan elbow tip vid, put the two together and bingo, immediatley gained 10% on my distances. Great stuff Tom!!

Watched this video about some time ago but didn’t grasp it. I was fiddling around with grip position instead but this time around it all makes sense !!! Thank you

Thank you Mr. Saguto. I have only recently discovered your channel. Your content is some of the best I have seen. In going through some of your back videos, I particularly enjoyed your instruction on bunker play and wedge selection based on the type of sand. I play in the midwest where bunker sand is often heavy and course. Best to you and your school.

Thanks Tom, I like the way you demonstrate the mechanics of the swing. Ben Hogan’s swing is one of the most natural and to teach it is challenging enough. However, you break it it down so that it’s more easier to follow and practice. I’ve been following the videos for a while now and am definitely getting better club-ball contact. I do tend to hang back at impact sometimes but that’s due to tiredness after hitting so many balls 😂😆. The good thing now is that I very quickly realise I’m hanging back and can correct it.
I truly appreciate your kind words and I am very glad the instruction on my channel has benefited your game!!
Mr. Hogan is recognized by many as being the greatest ball striker of all time, and yes - he certainly did make great contributions to the world of golf instruction and remains popular in that realm today. Of particular noteworthiness in this regard is his book "Five Lessons - the Modern Fundamentals of Golf". There's a lot of great information in that book, but there have also been many misinterpretations that have led numerous golfers - and their ball flight - astray. I do my best to take what Mr. Hogan conveys in the book as his "feels", apply it to the reality of what he actually did in his swing, and translate it into something we all - including myself - can learn well from. If we get Hogan right there is tremendous and timeless instructional value to be garnered!!
Thanks for sharing, keep up the great work, and keep that weight forward!!!
Tom
After viewing your lesson I searched TH-cam for several Ben Hogan videos. He talks about several aspects in his 5 fundamentals book. It became vividly clear to me that the most dominant feature of his swing was the forward weight shift and tailbone movement toward the target. His tempo appears quick on those old films and his arms are close to his body. His backswing is compact. To me it’s clear that that hip move was the core of his swing. Thank you for giving this the attention it deserves.
I sincerely appreciate your kind words and I'm very glad to know that this lesson resonated well with you!

Best video, ever, Tom! Exactly what I need to work on! Thanks so much!
Thanks Greg, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I can't believe instructors have missed this for years. Thanks for your great fun videos.
Unfortunately, Ray, such sorcery from the 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.......

My pleasure, Tom! I'm glad to know that you enjoyed this lesson on Mr. Hogan's hip action!!
To,
Great visuals, Tom. Thanks!
Thanks Ralph - I'm glad you enjoyed it!!
Tried this swing method at the range today. Absolute brilliant stuff. I began hitting my irons further by 10-15 yards! Thanks a bunch😁
I truly appreciate your kind words, Dave, and I am very glad to learn that my channel's instruction has benefited your game to such an extent!! You've obviously done an excellent job digesting my lesson content, incorporating it into your swing, and taking ownership of it!!

Tom, best explanation of the back swing . Thank you for the video. I tried it and it works.
Awesome, Ray, I'm glad it worked for you!
Tom, you are an absolute genius and really good at teaching this. A cue that’s worked great for me is the feeling of crunching my right side to initiate the downswing. I think that’s sort of the same thing here with the “automatic starter”. I was at the range today and couldn’t miss a shot after this clicking. Absolutely blasting every iron 7i and above 200+ yards. Great stuff and keep up the content!
I appreciate the kind words, Robbie, and I'm very glad to know that this lesson resonated well with you - awesome job incorporating it into your swing!!
"Crunching" the trail side is certainly an acceptable feel for triggering the downswing, and it is indeed one option that I teach. In fact, 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 again for sharing your success and keep up the great work!!
Tom
Thank you! My whole life I was taught to avoid having too much weight forward, but this move gives me a much more balanced feeling swing.
Me too 😢
It's my pleasure, Matthew - I'm very glad to learn that my channel's instruction content is resonating well with you!!
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). We're doing our best here to clear these up one by one and put an end to this madness, although 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.......😎
Thanks for your comment, keep up the great work, and have fun out there!!
Tom
It’s so easy to keep on plane with Ben hogan swing 😎
Feels better and protects straining my left hip.
Great video !!! I've been trying to do this for years....your information renewed my interest
Thanks Tim - I'm glad this Hogan Hip Turn lesson resonated well with you!! I hope you can put it to good use!
Tom
THIS IS THE BEST GOLF VIDEO IVE EVER WATCHED WHAT. YOU HAVE NO CLUE HOW MUCH U HAVE JUST HELLED ME. I’ve literally worked for weeks on weeks everyday trying to rotate properly and watched countless videos. Another reallyyyyy good tip after doing this hogan hip rotation is trying to have you butt face behind u at impact just like hogan. THANK YOU

Mr. Hogan's "hip turn put weight on the front side." WOW! VERY insightful. And what's amazing to me is the way you draw out the fact that what golf's greatest ball-striker did flies in the face of what is now being taught by most PGA pros. Very insightful, Tom. Thank you for helping me to solidify, in my mind, what I need to do during the backswing.
My pleasure, Chris! I call that move "the grail" of the golf swing for good reason. It simply predestines us for success. Sadly, it is something that is hardly ever mentioned or taught in the world of "conventional" instruction.
I'm very glad to know that it resonated well with you!

Anything Hogan related is always great advice. Thanks Tom.

Hi Tom, I found your channel a few days ago and have to say I am impressed at how you look at things. I will definitely be working on my swing when I get the chance here in England. Unfortunately, Scrooge has closed all golf courses until December 2nd! Thanks for the videos and keep up the good work. I just bought one of your mugs.
@maneco64,
Yes - such heinous OUTDOOR environments as those practice ranges and golf courses represent nothing but giant open-air breeding grounds for hosting plague super-spreader events, right? How absurd. I'm sorry for your situation.
Anyway, thank you so much for your very kind words regarding my channel's content and for your support of my business! I hope you'll be able to put these lessons to work for you soon.

Great video as usual, perfectly and crisply explained 👍👊
LOL - Thanks Justin - glad you enjoyed it!!
KFC!!
Tom
Love this: I asked you on previous video, why you head tilted left on the top of the backswing. I think it helps you get the weight to the front leg.
Great video Tom
Thanks.
Thanks John - I'm glad you enjoyed it!!
As for my little head nuance, it's at least in part a response to correct body motions. However, in a perfect world (in other words, if I had ample time to work on my game) I would still try to rid myself of it....
Cheers!

Thanks, Tom! I have had a number of "traditional golf swing lessons" since I took up golf for real in 1997. I am 77 years old now, retired and working on a way to graduate back to the white tees (club tees) from the green tees (forward tees). Some of what you are teaching via analysis of Ben Hogan's swing is similar to the "stack and tilt" fundamentals, i.e., weight forward, left shoulder goes down (which happens if you turn your hips), arms straight, hands in and hips tucked. All of that seems to happen in the great video of Hogan's swing in your selected videos. Having returned to using many elements of stack & tilt have helped me. BUT THIS VIDEO OF HOGAN AND YOUR ANALYSIS give me real hope. I really don't care whether I get back to the white tees; I just want to play better golf, and it seems to be happening now. Thanks, again, Tom!
That's awesome, Franklin!! I'm very glad to know that this Hogan's Hips lesson resonated so well with you.
By the way, 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 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. Here's a link if you would like to know more about the school - saguto.golf
You don't need the flexibility of a Romanian gymnast - or even of this far less pliable golf instructor - to execute this swing and experience great ball striking. I hope you'll give the school some thought.
Thanks for sharing your improvement and keep up the great work!!
Tom
Gorgeous ,Hip turn interpretation ,will try later ,thank you so much indeed:)
Thank you, Helen - I hope it works well for you!!
Tom
Thanks, Thanks for sharing this video. Played baseball my entire life, started to hit balls recently and I was doing the opposite when it comes to the weight on my legs. Golf looks easy but at this point it’s easier to hit a 90 miles ball than a little one that doesn’t move.
Going to practice your teaching today,, Thanks again !!!
My pleasure, Fernando, and as a former baseball player myself I fully understand what you are saying! There are certainly some similarities between hitting a baseball and swinging a golf club, but also some considerable differences as you are learning. That is why pitchers have invariably made better golfers than their position player teammates - at least during their playing careers anyway. 😎
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
Welcome to this greatest - and occasionally most frustrating - of games!!
Tom
Excellent teaching and demonstration , comprehensive and logical !❤
Thank you so much! I sincerely appreciate your kind words, and I am very glad to know that you are enjoying and benefiting from my instruction!!
Tom
PS: By the way, due to their popularity I have combined my Hogan lesson videos into a playlist series on this channel. Here is the link if you are interested: th-cam.com/play/PLV62KxT7Mp7IyNDRp0hZK1F1OScdXx-u1.html
Another great video, I will definitely work on Ben Hogan's hip turn, thanks.
Thanks Richard - I'm glad this lesson resonated well with you, and I hope you are able to effectively incorporate it into your swing!!
Tom
Hey Tom. This is an old one but a good one. I have been struggling with getting your swing and I think this is why. Going to do this today. I think you should do a new one about this. I have as many maybe missing this part. Thanks for all you do. Tom from Vancouver Canada.
Hi Tom,
Here is a newer version of this lesson: th-cam.com/video/bXV7g1PVxbA/w-d-xo.html
By the way, if you'd really like to get on the fast track towards properly learning this swing system in a comprehensive, sequential platform, 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.
Thanks!

I watched this a couple years ago while i was trying to improve my game at age 68 and felt that Hogan's swing was a good one to imitate since he was only a little bigger than me.
I am happy to reveal that in the past two months, I scored under par for the first time since my collegiate golf days. AND I have shot under my age three times. It's amazing how the psychological aspect of the game has also changed - now that I have confidence with this new swing and the ability to repeat results. I have never been a golfer with a lot of birdies. but in those three rounds, one round I had 7 birdies, another 6 birdies (five in a row) and the third had 4 birdies. My advice is to work most of this on the practice range first and when you think you've got it - take it to the course and try to "trust" the new swing. Don't focus on score - focus on using the new swing EVERY shot. Then one day it all falls into place.
Good work here SagutoGolf - wish I had known of this 60 years ago :)
@Little O - I'm still stuck on your having five birdies in a row..... 💪💪 Wow - that's some awesome stuff!! Thanks so much for your kind words and for sharing your success, and keep up the fantastic playing!!
Tom
Thank you. That is what I originally did and someone got me out of it and my handicap shot straight up. Going back to my original golf swing with a couple of minor adjustments . Thank again.
My pleasure, Nels. I'm very glad to know that this Hogan hip turn lesson helped you!
Tom
Thank you! I've swayed off the ball for decades! The tail bone slide forward was a game changer that finally killed my sway back.
That's awesome, Mike! I'm very glad to know that the Tailbone-to-Target move eliminated your consistency-wrecking sway.
Thanks for sharing and 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/
Thanks, answers all my questions with the hips!!!
Great - I'm glad that Hogan hip lesson helped, Jerry!!
Tom
Been taking lessons for the past few months where they taught me to move my shoulders away from the target behind the ball with all the weight on the trail foot heal. Then start the hip rotation. This is for the drive, to create a wider swing arc. Problem is, I am going out of sync during the downswing hitting embarrassing fat shots and thin shots with my drive. So frustrating. The place where I take lessons have video practice. Found Tom's videos of Ben Hogan swings recently and tried it during practice and on the course. Almost immediately, I was getting much more distance, speed and consistency. It is very easy to do the upward acceleration from that Ben Hogan position on top of the down swing, and also keeping more weight on the lead foot during the entire swing. Great work, Tom, with going against all the conventions and explaining an easier path. Thank you so much!
I'm very glad to learn of your success through my channel's instruction content, John!! And yes, 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. 😎 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). We're doing our best here to clear these up one by one and put an end to this madness!

Great content! Haven't been here in a while, but this was an eye opener! I'm 69 and trying to get more speed and this hip turn is getting for me. Plus I noticed in the video the he also offsets his right foot just a bit. I'm learning that gives you a bigger hip and shoulder turn and that gives me more clubhead speed. Thanks Tom Keep em' coming!
Thanks Phil - I'm glad this Hogan episode resonated well with you!!
TS
Thanks for your extended thoughtfulness about the golf swing. Your illustrations about when the downswing begins has helped me clear a point of confusion I created, by thinking that the downswing began during the beginning of the lateral movement towards the target. There’s a clear and definite moment when the downswing begins. The backswing and downswing don’t overlap! Just because there’s movement towards the target doesn’t mean that the downswing has begun! Since I have already given you a like 👍🏼 please consider a virtual hug 🤗
Thanks Frank! The virtual hug is appreciated, and nice job building in that "feel" for the proper transition, which is really a critical component of an effective and powerful swing!!
Keep up the great work!!
Tom
You sir, have made golf fun again! hands down best teacher/ golf comedian on the youtubes!!
Thanks so much, Tyler!! I truly appreciate the kind words and I'm very glad to know that you are enjoying my instruction content!!
Tom
Thanks Tom! I started using this type of swing just a couple of days ago. I can definitely see more power and accuracy.
Awesome, David - Keep up the great work!!
TS
Very easy to understand it, thank you very much
My pleasure, Ignacio - I am very glad to know that this lesson resonated with you, and I hope it performs well when you put it into practice!

I can't wait to try this tomorrow on the range! 👍🏿👍🏿
I hope it worked well for you, Keion!!
Cheers!
Tom
Wow, just discovered your channel, tried a couple of other tips off yours that didn't work, but this one did. I have a shorter swing now yet the ball is flying further and higher with a slight draw.
Thanks Tom
I'm very glad to know that the referenced lessons resonated with you, Pete, and I appreciate you sharing that!
It is important to understand that the videos, lessons, and drills on this free channel - while fully aligned with the swing method I teach - address a variety of topics, issues, feels, and/or common flaws/fixes from one episode to the next. They are certainly not intended to be taken as a comprehensive, sequential learning platform like the structured curriculum of my online school, which I strongly recommend to anyone who truly wishes to get on the proper path towards owning this swing.

Tom
Superb example of why applying the principles of leverage achieves maximum power... one does not have to bench press 350 to drive 350...🏌️ thank you again.
Exactly, Neil!! Maximum efficiency sourced from the point where physics, geometry, and human physiology collide!
I used to bomb it off the tee when I first started playing but I had a slice. I was just swinging natural and athletic. One of my friends told me 3 years ago that I needed to stop straightening my leg in the back swing. I started swaying badly and have never been able to drive since. This is a life saver.
☺☺😊😊☺
I read a description of Pete Sampras’ serve as sliding into a restaurant booth. It is exactly this action except that I believe he does keep the flex in his trail leg so he can elevate high to hit the ball. Used this swing in 1973 and hit it 315 yards every time.
i always knew that the hips had to shift left before you could rotate your hips to the left, but this is the only video i've seen that addresses the TIMING of the hip shift. would love to see a video that also addresses the TIMING of the hip rotation to the left.
I appreciate that, Douglas!
The lateral targetward action of the hips acts as a governor to prevent a premature over-rotation and thereby enables the player to keep his upper torso square without having to fight their body. Most amateur golfers already have plenty of the rotational component; they need to build in the lateral hip slide to suppress the early-onset spinout that causes so many to get steep and across the line. Here are a couple of lesson videos specific to this topic:
- th-cam.com/video/dB4ItR3guGU/w-d-xo.html
- th-cam.com/video/I5XYgKopTb4/w-d-xo.html

Tom
I worked on this at tge range today. Really focused on straightening up that right leg. It's a WIP, but you feel more build up of power. That part about building from the ground up being natural is very noticeable. Anyways... another GEM revisited. Thank you, good sir!!
I'm liking your methodology and the resulting progress!
By the way, if interested here is another version of this lesson: th-cam.com/video/bXV7g1PVxbA/w-d-xo.html

@SagutoGolf
Hole 18 par 5
2nd shot after monster drive, FG says 213 yds
Weight forward, inside takeaway, point sholder to ball, arm superglued in,
4i... pin high just off to right, got my par. Absolutely SMASHED in a CRISPY way that 4i was. Pure flush. 2 putt par sadly, but shot an 83. Best shot for me In a long time
🙏🙏🙏
Great stuff Tom easy to understand Im 78 and play once a week this will be FUN All these years I was doing it the old fashioned way lol keep up the great PS do a video for us old timers haha
I feel like that little bit of early shift keeps me in rhythm. Soon as I started doing that little bit, it kept me in line and on tempo. Good stuff Tom.
Sweet, Johnny!
Great tips Tom!! All the ranges/courses are closed here in the U.K. but I’ve bought a huge golf net for the garden so I can practice and go through your GSS course 💪🏼
I'm sorry to learn that they've shut down such obviously dangerous OUTDOOR environments such as those heinous, disease-infested practice ranges and golf courses, Danny. Regardless, you will make it work just fine with your home practice facility and you'll be able to hit the ground running once they come to their senses! And remember, if you encounter any hurdles or just wanted to do periodic progress updates you can always arrange to have me put my eyes on your swing and offer specific action plans by utilizing the through a V1 video analysis service.

You're awesome dude, such fantastic content!!
Thanks so much!! I'm very glad to know that my instruction and teaching style are resonating well with you!!

So I watch this video four days ago. Went to the range for three days to practice the move. I played nine holes today hit five out of seven fairways and with six over on the front nine. Prior to this I generally shoot 50 per nine this is an amazing move.
Well done!! I'm very glad to know that this lesson resonated well with you; nice job putting it into play!

Great information explained well thank you...
Hi Tom, JD and I say hello from Ohio after spending two great instructional, AND FUN, days with you in Mrytle. Now putting
TILT and TOWARDS in play, and hitting some really "Crispy" shots, lower scores too. Many thank foe adding excitement back into my game. Craig.
Thanks Guys!! I thoroughly enjoyed our time together and I'm glad y'all are now getting into a steady diet of nice, crispy KFC!! Have fun out there and keep up the great work!!
Tom
Tom, my pro at Golftec was trying to teach me this concept. I did not get it, but after watching this video, the “light bulb” went off! Can’t wait to try it!
I'm glad this resonated with you, Robert, and I hope it translates well when you put it into play!!
Thanks!
Tom
Hey Tom, these videos you made in regards to Ben Hogan are your best ever, I reread Hogan's book but these videos explain Ben's philosophy so much better, thanks and can't wait to try it and I will give you an update!
I appreciate your kind words, Mark!!
Mr. Hogan is recognized by many as being the greatest ball striker of all time, and yes - he certainly did make great contributions to the world of golf instruction and remains popular in that realm today. There's a lot of great information in his Five Lessons book, but there have also been many misinterpretations that have led numerous golfers - and their ball flight - astray. I do my best to take what Mr. Hogan conveys in the book as his "feels", apply it to the reality of what he actually did in his swing, and translate it into something we all - including myself - can learn well from. If we get Hogan right there is tremendous and timeless instructional value to be garnered!!
Please keep me posted!
Tom
@@SagutoGolf I sure will Tom, and thanks for pointing out the misinterpretations, and pointing out what Ben was actually doing. I am the guy from Iowa, it's Dec 8th but temps are to be near records tomorrow and Thursday and I am going to get to try out my new "Hogan" swing, I'll let you know my score. I have a feeling it's gonna be a good one!
Thanks Tom
Hey Tom, I played the other day, first time using your Ben Hogan instruction and I got it going on the back nine and parred 5 holes in a row! 5 of the last 6 holes and just missed a 20 foot downhill putt. THANK YOU! I am really confident that this is the way for me to play golf!!!
It a magic, it is opposit on what I perceived in weight shift, and so far it is quite inconsistency of my game due to some time sway problem . This eliminate such proplem for me , especially for my weak legs to get gound force when down swing. Thanks for this good VDO.
I appreciate your kind words and I am very glad to know that this lesson - and the weight-forward component - worked well for you!

Mr. Instructor, you are SUGOI!
Thank you for the fabulous lesson video!
My pleasure!! I am glad to know that this lesson resonated well with you!!
Thanks!
Tom
Very good video tom, at a point at the top of the great Bobby Jones , he was on his front side also . Great ball stricker with tons of power. There are amazing things about Jones, 13 majors at age 28, etc, etc, but his not touching a club for months between major tournaments was very amazing. Great video, great analysis of mr. Hogan.
I'm glad you enjoyed this latest installment of my Hogan series, @Ag!!! Bobby Jones sure was a special talent and a special individual!!
Cheers!
Tom
Thanks, I was hitting the ball well on the range, couldn’t transfer it to the course!!
Realise now I was moving to my right and coming over the ball in my anxiety to hit the ball hard!!
What a great power position at the top of the backswing!!
That's a very common issue, Shaun. I hope this lesson helps you overcome it!

Tom
very interesting concept.as u said this is tough for many to agree with.i was taught that this is a reverse weight shift.gives me something to think about.thanks
Hi Robert,
I know it sounds like a strange concept to those who have only ever subscribed to a swing model that is based on shifting weight from back to front, but I assure you that this swing is anything but a reverse pivot! Yours is a good question, though, because it represents an often misconstrued notion and occasional invalid criticism of the Stack & Tilt swing, and as such I always appreciate the opportunity to respond and clarify. You start with your weight forward (55/45 on the front side; 60/40 for the longer clubs), increase that same weight forward to the top of the backswing (70/30), and further increase the forward weight during the downswing from halfway down (80/20) through impact (90/10) and to the finish at 95/5 forward. There's no "weight shift", therefore - unless one were to fall backwards - there's nothing to reverse or pivot!! And the result is a low-maintenance, body-friendly, consistent, and tremendously powerful swing!
Cheers!
Tom

Very nice tips.
1. The motion of drag & little shift is a natural movement with a longer club as a Driver. It's reducing the Wrists stress and understanding the proper hinge.
2. Hips turn toward the target makes a really powerful & consistent impact.
Thanks @JAEHONG JUNG - I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
Cheers!
Tom
I was at the practice tee today and started using some Hogan techniques. I hit the ball solid with quite legs. The next time I'm going to incorporate the leg action and expect to add distance. Great stuff.
Fantastic! I hope that works well for you!!

I love the Matt Tom . You’re helping us keep our feet on the ground. I’m in Brooklyn so I am serious about keeping my interest in the game over the winter. I hit 160 balls at the range yesterday and am looking forward to a game at my local golf course Dyker Beach GC. No water to throw the clubs in. Excellent for guy’s getting back to the game. Taking my father’s Taylor Made twenty year old driver out tomorrow. Supination of my left wrist during the backswing with a slow backswing like the South Korean in the Masters I hope will provide exciting results. Maybe you can help me get much more consistent with my driver. I’m over my boyhood fear of cutting open the golf ball. I want to directly hit the ball. Thanks, be great, good and lucky
Hi Frank,

This really helped. Thanks!
I'm glad to know that this Hogan's Hips episode resonated well with you, Rob!

Fantastic Tom!
Thanks for your dedication to helping the confused.
As they say, Anthony, "it takes one to know one", and I was definitely wandering among the dazed and confused myself for far too long!... 🙃
Thanks for your kind words - I'm very happy to be of assistance!!
Tom
Thank you very much. Always entertaining. Always core.
I'm glad you enjoyed this video, @Prabal Lunavat, and I truly appreciate your kind words!!
Tom
I watched this video just now, went out on my property and smashed 10 golf balls without warming up and i'm 65 and play once every year at best. I am now doing a deep dive on your system, it is making me play everyday in the yard getting that swing down, it's fun and I want to beat my Son 1 day. lol.
That's awesome, Steve! Now hopefully through this deep dive and your already improved ball striking you'll be motivated to get out there far more than once per year!!
Please check out the free mini-course and then perhaps consider my online school as referenced in my reply to your previous comment.
Keep up the great work!!
Tom
Incredible video!! Modern golf teachers ignore/don’t emphasize this! Ben hogan had the best golf swing of all time
Thanks, Robert - I'm glad you enjoyed this episode! 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....... 😎
Mr. Hogan delivered - and continues to deliver posthumously - phenomenal and timeless instructional value, right?! But there are just so many misconceptions about Hogan’s swing out there - particularly within the realm of misunderstood or misapplied teachings - that have sadly relegated generations of golfers to the vast abyss of chronic frustration. We're doing our best here to clear these up one by one and put an end to this madness, because if we can get Hogan right there are tremendously effective swing keys to be garnered!!
By the way, due to their popularity I've combined my Hogan lesson videos into a playlist series on this channel. Here's the link if you are interested: th-cam.com/play/PLV62KxT7Mp7IyNDRp0hZK1F1OScdXx-u1.html
