Do you think if Seve when he was chasing more accuracy with the driver would’ve discovered this his career would’ve been better/longer. It looks to me like he had some stack and tilt in his swing. But if he’d found the stack and tilt driver set up he may have found the answer he was looking for instead of going to Ledbetter and chasing Faldo. th-cam.com/video/UT4o7cZnZ8s/w-d-xo.html Watch him here beautiful
LOL!! Thanks for your kind words, Gus. I'm very glad to know that you are enjoying and benefiting from my instruction content!! Keep up the great work and have fun out there!! Tom
Mr. Saguto, I went out and tried your method today. Some of the best struck balls in MANY years. I'm 62. Thanks so much. Yes the low and around felt strange. The ball exploding dead straight off the CENTER of the clubface was magnificent. Thank you sir.
Fantastic! I'm very glad to know that my instruction content is helping you to such an extent. As I often say, "if it feels weird it's good." Your ball striking and shot shape will tell you all you need to know. Keep up the great work and have fun out there!! -TS
I started watching you me channel 3 weeks ago because my game was inconsistent, frustrating and not fun anymore. I am 71 and been playing for 64 years. I was taught to shift my weight from back to front. Searching on TH-cam for the last 6 months and trying many different swings I stumbled on your videos. Currently I am an 18 handicap and play 5 days a week. (Retired) I got it down to a 16 4 months ago but once again it went back up to an 18 because I was inconsistent with too many swing thoughts. For the last two weeks I am now in the mid 80s and having fun. When I have a mis hit, I know what went wrong or go back to watch some of your great videos and make the correction. For your viewers that watch your videos and try it for a week or so and say it does not work, keep at it. Change is not always easy but stack and tilt makes it easier than to reach your goals than others. Correcting 64 years of bad habits doesn’t come quickly. Thank you for your online lessons as they are great and entertaining.
I sincerely appreciate the kind words, Richard, and I am very glad to learn that my channel's instruction has benefited your game so quickly and to such an extent. You're obviously doing an excellent job digesting the lesson content and incorporating it into your swing. Yes - those "ghosts of swings past" are stubborn, but the fact that you are able to recognize and eradicate those shift & lift demons when they show up is a major step towards taking ownership of your swing! Thanks again for your support and for sharing your success, keep up the great work, and most importantly - keep having fun out there!! Tom

If you’re wondering whether Tom’s online school is worth it, it’s actually pretty great. Very detailed and clear. I just bought the DVDs from the Stack & Tilt website, what a waste of money - Tom’s instruction is so much better & covers a tremendous amount of material
Stack and Tilt man!!! I started with it last year. Broke 80 as an 18 handicap last week. It’s hands in, club out though. Don’t let the club go inside too early. Great stuff.

@@SagutoGolf Thanks for the invite Tom but I’m one of those very rare golfers who you might find challenging to coach,you see I’m a left arm low player I just have to figure things out on my own by trying to incorporate different things from conventional players and coaches, I can be challenging and frustrating. I just find your instruction much easier to follow without all the big words and gimmicks others are teaching.Thanks again.
Great stuff, Tom. Your message is resonating. I just retired and have time to play. Ive been an athlete most of my life and don't like playing bad. I am also a admirer of Ben Hogan and his swing. It seems like something I can try to emulate.

Watching your fantastic videos everyday, repeating repeating, your ways of teaching are extremely simple and easily understanding, your wordings are very clearily explained. You fixed all problems which most beginners came across, after watching repeatly your videos, I have a very clear pictures on those swings. Thank your very very much, Mr Saguto.
Thank you - 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!! Keep up the great work and have fun out there!! Tom
Tom I gotta thank you man. I've watched a lot of your videos over the last two years. Over the last few seasons I generally would hit around 100-105 with multiple mulligans. Pandemic hit and I had a lot of extra free time to practice and practice I did. This year I'm playing 100% honest and really focusing on getting rid of my slice. Shot my personal best of an 88 recently then followed that up with back to back 90s. I feel like I've made a significant step forward. My friends that I play with have all commented on the improvement. Golf is so much more fun when the ball does what you expect it to!!!
Hi Hunter, I appreciate your kind words and I am thrilled to learn of your dramatic improvement!! If you haven't already done so, perhaps sometime soon I'll see you enrolled in the SagutoGolf online school for just $10 US/month or $99 US/year?? 😎 Thanks again for sharing your success, keep up the great work, and have fun out there!! Tom
Watched about half of this video before I paused it and went to the range for a lunch break, tried it out and for one of the first times, a tip that actually worked! I don't swing it like Tom exactly, but I used this one "feel" tip and started hitting great shots.. I struggle with a slight over the top move with an open face causing weak fades usually and dropped distance. After using this tip I feel like I was actually coming in on plane and getting good strikes! Thanks for this tip.. will continue to use it.
That's great, Chris - I'm very glad to know that this tip resonated so well with you!! You don't need to concern yourself with swinging it exactly like me. As Arnold Palmer said, "swing *_your_* swing"!.... I'm just here to help you get the most out of your swing in a simplified, body-friendly manner!

1. To the Quik: Tom for (3) years I played varsity College Golf. Loved the atmosphere, good times & friends. 2. To the Point: When I played I felt comfortable. 3. My Checklist: (a) I could feel the [Spacing] in my [Fingers & Hands] for a great Grip. (b) I looked at the [Position of the Ball]. (Not at the ball)! Why? (c) My [Head Position] "remained" [Fluid]. A [Smooth & Consistent] [Lower Body Turn] was the "Outcome"! Reference: [Bobby Jones] looked at the [Position of the Ball], (Not at the Ball)! Have a great day, Tom!
Thanks for teaching this simple technique. Got to use it for the first time on course with my buddies. I repeatedly out drove them by 40 yards with beautiful drives. Balls were actually going to where I wanted them; what a wonderful change. My buddies were spraying while I was pin hunting. They repeatedly said "wow" as they watched my balls fly. This game is a lot more fun now. I am excited to go back out with your simple method. Stack and Tilt, I love it.
That's fantastic, Greg!! I'm very glad this lesson resonated so well with you - nice job incorporating it into your swing!! Thanks for for your support in sharing your success, keep up the great work, and keep having fun out there in the Land of Ball Striking Bliss!! Tom PS: After you've had enough fun beating your buddies, feel free to send them my way. You'll still have a nice head start on them...😂
Thanks for another awesome video tip, Tom. You and Rob Cheney have helped me go from soggy to crispy in just a few months. Extra crispy is my ultimate goal!
Hi Rick, I truly appreciate your kind words regarding my instruction content and delivery style!! Thanks so much for your support, and have fun out there!! Tom
Tom, Great stuff for my golf game. I will be taking a "lower around the belt line" & applying it to my golfing edge on the course. I ready for a new golf train while wearing some "Depends" because I'll be having more fun than anyone will know! Keep it coming!
It's a wonderful sensation once you get used to it!!.... 😬😬😂😂 Have a blast out there. After a few crispy shots load up your Depends, you should find that you have the entire range to yourself.... Cheers! Tom
This video really helped correct a flaw that was in my take-away. Keeping the club face naturally low until the lead shoulder aligns with the front foot provides a perfect start. As always, thank you so much for this channel. 😊😊😊
66 years old, read S & T, watched Most of your videos, I hit the ball about 175 with a 7 iron, when done correctly my shots go straight, no curve. and it feels effortless. thanks for your simple instructions as S&T book can get a bit complicated. At my age I keep a roll of TP in the bag in case I crap my pants, love that!!!!
That's a *_BIG_* 7 iron, Steven - well done!! I'm very glad to know that my simplified S&T instruction content is resonating well with you. Thanks for sharing your success, keep up the great work, and keep a supply of Depends on hand just in case!....😂 Tom
I haven't unleashed my Fire Marshall Bill character on the golfing world yet, but you never know....😂😂 Thanks - I'm very glad you are enjoying my channel's content!! Tom
Nice!! I'm very glad to know that this lesson resonated well with you. Fabulous job incorporating it into your swing so quickly!! And you got that tremendous, virtually effortless power source known as angular momentum to thank for those extra yards - I merely showed you how to tap into it... Thanks for sharing your success and keep up the great work! Tom
This works. I habitually lift up and have and an all arms swing. Used this low and around belt line feel, I struck the ball with more ease and distance. Slight pull at times results were still good. Thanks.
That's fabulous, Michael - I'm very glad to know that you had some good immediate success with this! Nice job incorporating it into your swing!!

From some of your previous videos where you showed this swing I'd been practicing this motion and I've got to say, I've gained about 25yrds with my driver, my 5 iron I'm hitting around 215, and yesterday I reached a par 5 on my second with a 3 wood from 245. That's the furthest I've hit the 3 in a long time. Thanks for your awesome pointers, it's really helped me. 👌👍
That's some fabulous stuff, Les!! Sounds like you've taken your game to a completely new level!! Thanks for sharing, keep up the great work, and have a blast with your newfound distance!! Tom
So many scientific moments during my two year span here of learning golf...and this was the hands down BEST advice I've ever heard. It made me realize I was stuck in an old habit of turning my shoulders too literally, in the wrong manner. When I saw this, I went downstairs... and what it felt like...is that I was pushing my left arm down.... and holy F*** I could feel that power build up ... I went outside...it was night but I got glow balls. It's kinda my test on stuff...cause if I can hit well in the dark I know its pretty concrete. I hit my 7 iron... big mistake lol. As soon as I hit it... I just dropped the club and waved to the ball. Brilliant my friend. I love your methods of teaching...it allows the student to discover on their own if need be.
That's angular momentum in all its glory, Johnny - a tremendous, effortless power source!! Sorry it cost you a glow ball...😂 And yes - self-discovery - or "figuring it out" - is a critical part of the process that allows each individual golfer to truly take ownership of their unique swing. Thanks for recognizing this hidden component of my instruction method! Have fun out there!! Tom
Tom thanks to you’re video’s I’ve gone from a 24 HC. Hitting balls thin fat and weak low balls, to 17 HC Im smashing them straight out the middle still struggling to draw them every time but that will come but the bonus is I’m beating my playing partners week in week out now. so thank you sir and keep the great contents coming 👌

@@SagutoGolf I’m already a member and keep up to date with all you’re content. But still struggle to hit a nice draw. shot after shot but I’ll get there after thanks again for the great videos there gold dust to us hackers
sometimes you almost do like was that me that hit that shot. Sometimes my buddies think I am being a dick staring at the shot or not moving for a moment after the shot landed. Its because I am appreciating the work that went into that made it possible to hit that shot so fuck them lol
I have been looking for an answer to why I am topping the ball and why I am so steep and my backswing and you just gave me the information I needed to change my game completely
Unfortunately, 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.......😂 I'm glad to know that this lesson resonated well with you, Tony!! Thanks for sharing! Tom
That's awesome, Jack!! 💪💪 I'm very glad to know that my instruction is resonating well with you. Thanks so much for sharing your dramatic improvement and keep up the great work!! Tom
Wow! Take the club back around my waist??? This definitely gives me a better wrist set. I can also hit the ball higher??? I need to take the club much lower and around! Thanks for clearing up my misconceptions, Tom!
They're definitely not YOUR misconceptions, Greg. 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! I'm glad to know that this lesson resonated well with you!

I haven't heard this mentioned before directly. This issue is inherent occurs in both chipping and the full swing. And it occurs mostly when a golfer has lost confidence or is nervous in their swing or chipping. The issue is Deceleration or sometimes know as "quitting" on the shot. This is one big reason a golf can hit great shots on the practice range but as soon as loses confidence or or hits a bad shot this issue can start show it's self and the problem is at times imperceptible.
I’ve watched your videos for about a week, specifically ones on Hogan’s swing, and in about 3 days (1 round of 9 holes and 2 days of small buckets at the range) I’ve hit my long irons crispier than ever with a baby draw, 3 wood laser beams 225+, driver bomb baby draws, and even driver off the deck! I still have my tendency to get steep and come across it some resulting in a slight push-fade, but that’s going to be minimized within a few weeks I can tell. My favorite thoughts to come back to are “shoulders and right elbow”.

This video may not have a front view, Francisco, but it definitely provides a different perspective!: th-cam.com/video/WxDD63quyk8/w-d-xo.html Thanks - I am glad to know that you are enjoying my channel's content! Tom
I have improved my game dramatically after finding your videos on stack and tilt and simple swing. I look forward to seeing your new videos but one popped up from two years ago that has the more complicated “lassoing the cow” downswing. Have you considered deleting your old videos that only confuse your subscribers? Thanks for all your help!
I'm glad to learn of your improvement through my channel's instruction!. You've obviously done an excellent job digesting the lesson content, incorporating it into your swing, and taking ownership of it!! I do my best to convey different "feels" or thoughts throughout the swing wherever possible because we're all unique physiologically and psychologically, and something that resonates effectively with me may not necessarily work for you. Furthermore, a feel or thought that performs well for you this week may run its course or get overdone and not play out so nicely next week, so it's good to have alternates to call upon if needed. The key takeaway here is that 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 same desired motion or position. (It's like a multiple choice test with no wrong answer!) Beyond 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 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.

Great video, I have a question. Do you change the ball position for your long irons even though the swing stays the same, or do you have more of a wider stance for you long irons? Thnaks
While you do have some leeway, in general once my students and members show some level of proficiency with the swing I suggest that they migrate to a stock ball position that is in the middle of the stance for short irons, two balls inside the lead heel for middle irons, and creeping more forward for the longer clubs - the farthest forward being even with the inside of the lead heel for the driver (with the stance width increasing as we move from shorter to longer clubs). From there they can make incremental tweaks to see how different positions affect impact quality and shot shape. For example, my personal preference for the shorter clubs tends to be a position that is slightly forward of prescribed. I know you've been quite active here in the channel, Eric. I hope to see you soon in my online school! TS
I'm like that professor standing at the classroom door alternately staring at his watch and looking up at you slowly making your way down the hall.....😆
I'm gonna make a clip of my round today. I want you to upload it on your channel to see the results of a student that spent time wisely, intelligently, and diligently using your methods of teaching. It's a proud moment for you I know. When you see someone just explode with happiness and excitement because they no longer have fear of anything on the course... It's why I want to teach so badly! Still looking for that bluuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuue jean, baaaaaaaaby queeeeeeeeeeen Prettiest girl I ever seeeeeeeeen See her shake on the movie screen, Jimmy Dean!!!!!!! ROCKKKKKKKKK ON!!!
Didn't make the clip today. Ran into a high school classmate that I graduated with! Another reason I love golf. Brings me back around to the people I knew before. What a game. I can tell that if I start with the hips, I hit fat every time. So breaking those old habits is all that's left for the fundamentals! Then it's really hitting the next chapter and playing the game. Can't freaking wait.
Love your teaching. Just found this a couple of months ago and trying the S&T. It does seem solid and easier. I need more practice with it though. I hit a couple of bags of balls yesterday and wasn't tired at all. Q: I'm tall and my clubs are about 2 degrees upright, would I need to have them adjusted flatter, since this new swing seems to be a flatter swing or am I missing something. Thank you and keep doing what your doing.
Love your tips and helpful maneuvers! I'm less flexible at the waist and limited shoulder swing (old shoulder break) ... any way to help that? (Novice, 74 years... 5'4", 135 lbs)
Hi Sheri, The Stack & Tilt swing is a very body-friendly method. For me this is supported by my personal experience as a player and furthered by the fact that the majority of my students are in their 60's, 70's, and 80's - i.e.: a smorgasbord of chronic ailments, physical limitations, back/shoulder/knee/hip pain, 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. With regard to your shoulder, the setup for this swing facilitates a stress-free 45 degrees of hip turn. If you can add another 45 degrees or so of shoulder turn - and not a full 90 degrees as prescribed by "conventional" instruction - you will have plenty of total turn to strike the ball with power! Should you wish to give this swing a fair shot by learning it properly, please consider enrolling in the SagutoGolf online school. For just $10 US/month or $99 US/year you'll have unlimited access to a comprehensive members-only platform that really simplifies the process through succinct, step-by-step videos, and I'm regularly adding new content.

This winter I committed to switching from right handed to left handed. As right handed golfer I was committed to the traditional golf swing. I was a slicer and chunkier high handicapper. In just under a half of a year of training my mind to swing lefty while following this man's instructions I'm already close to as good as I was as a traditional righty. Ball flight legitimately has a slight draw and my distance has been consistently growing as the season progress'.....what I'm try to say through this unsolicited testimonial is....listen to this man.
Wow - talk about a major swing change..... That is fantastic!! I truly appreciate your kind words and I'm very glad to know that my instruction has assisted you in some way during this transition. Thanks so much for your support in sharing this story, keep up the great work, and have fun out there!! Tom
That is *AWESOME,* @RTC!!! Congratulations on your personal best and first sub-80 round!! Thanks for sharing your success and keep up the great work!! Tom
Love the vids, Tom...I commented on another video you did about the proper back swing (it changed my life) and I was wondering if you had anything out there that can help people, like myself, take my range/practice mat game to the course...? With your lessons, I am absolutely crushing it in "practice mode" but as soon as I get to the course, it all seems to go south. I don't feel stressed or nervous but the practice game doesn't seem to translate to what I know I can do on a real course. I'm sure it's 100% in my head but any advice you might have would be appreciated. In the meantime, keep the lessons coming, they are my life line so thank you!
Hi Dan, I'm very glad to learn of the improvements you are experiencing!! There has been quite a bit of dialogue in the Members' Forum of my online school on the topic of how to transport "Ranger Rick" to the golf course. We all experience that! All I can tell you is that it is part of the process, and if your practice mode is delivering consistently solid results then it's just a function of time in terms of when/how that will translate itself to the course. As confidence in your swing grows you should find more and more that you are playing "golf" instead of "golf swing" on the course, at which point your mechanical thoughts will be reduced to one or two at the most, and you will be nearly entirely focused on your target and not your swing. An excellent book that may help you with this is "Fearless Golf: Conquering the Mental Game" by Dr. Gio Valiante. Beyond that, I'd love to see you in the online school and participating regularly in the highly supportive SagutoGolf Community that is growing into something quite special in our Forum! Keep up the great work and have patience - you're definitely getting close!! Tom
@@SagutoGolf Honest and sage advice, Tom...I would expect nothing less. lol I feel that I could/would benefit from your golf school, I really do. A good support community is quite possibly the missing ingredient that is keeping me from realizing my full potential. And you are spot on - it's the "confidence" factor that brings me down. I'll get the book you recommended and read it over, it certainly can't hurt. :)
This definitely helped at the driving range. I was compressing the ball well and had so much freedom to swing hard. Thanks. Is there anything we should watch for if ball striking goes wrong? Let's say slow hip turn or not enough shoulder turn etc...
I'm glad to know that this lesson resonated well with you! As for troubleshooting your own swing, that's part of what is included in my online school for just $10/month or $99/year! saguto.golf/p/golf-swing-simplified-tom-saguto-pga. Cheers! Tom

Tom, with so many different esteemed coaches ( A swing, rotary, one and two plane, right sided, single plane etc. Which I've performed well in the past, what makes you so confident in the Stack and tilt system? I am aware it's lineage goes to the golfing machine and morad roots. Please help a searching golfer.
Hi Todd, Perhaps my best answer to your question can be found in my personal story of "conversion" here: th-cam.com/video/PM8lNNrMPEk/w-d-xo.html. Stack and Tilt is a model of the golf swing based on data from the best golf ball strikers, along with the physics, geometry, and human physiology you reference (TGM, MORAD). There are basic requirements that must be met to hit a golf ball consistently on the center of the clubface with the club bottoming out in the same place every time on the ground. There are also requirements necessary to add power to the golf swing without sacrificing accuracy. Stack and Tilt determined based on a study of the best golfers of all time that they all had these 3 things in common (the 3 main golf fundamentals): 1. Hit the ground in the same spot every time (consistent crispy contact) 2. Have enough power to play the golf course well (POWER) 3. Be able to have a predictable curve (accuracy). A golfer MUST be able to do those 3 things to be good at golf, and Stack and Tilt is a system and a model for accomplishing these fundamentals incredibly well. Please know that due to the volume of comments received here on my channel, I limit myself to one reply per post per video. In other words, if someone makes another comment in a thread that I've already responded to, it is highly likely I will not see it. So if you have a follow-up question then please ask it in a new post. Also, since it looks like you may be relatively new to the channel, I wanted to briefly make you aware of my online school as that is where the most structured opportunity for learning resides, and so many folks across the globe are now enjoying the best golf of their lives as enrolled students. For just $10 US/month or $99 US/year you'll have unlimited access to a comprehensive members-only system for the full swing, the short game, and much more. The school's intuitive course curriculum greatly simplifies the entire process through succinct, step-by-step videos, and I'm regularly adding new content. This will really put you on the fast track in a well-organized, self-guided fashion. There's even a members' forum where you can ask me specific swing-related questions, interact with others in the SagutoGolf community, and suggest new content ideas, plus you'll also have access to all exclusive TH-cam paid channel member content at no additional charge.

that was an interesting one towards the end with the closed stance thing. and, when you stop to think about it, it is virtually impossible to tell whether the stance is closed or not. if you turned your left foot in a bit your stance would be closed in appearance, so it is all relative. but, what you do, before the takeaway, to close your stance, relative to your position, is that you activate the right side of your left calf, bringing your left leg forwards. this is the key to an inside move. so, it is all relative. hogan tweaked his head to the right by adjusting his legs. the recoil in his downswiing realigned it. so, its all relative. but, you're not a proper swing maverick unless you do that one.
This gets you some really good club head speed. Tom I noticed the forward toward the target hip preset. Possibly you should have mentioned that as well.
Hi Rob, The weight-forward component is a key facet of the Stack and Tilt method I teach, and I've certainly mentioned it in a number of channel videos. 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. It's all part of a centered, low-maintenance, body-friendly, consistent, and tremendously powerful swing! 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 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. For just $10 US/month or $99 US/year you'll have unlimited access to a comprehensive members-only system for the full swing, the short game, and much more. The school's intuitive course layout greatly simplifies the entire process through succinct, step-by-step videos, and I'm regularly adding new content.

@@SagutoGolf Tom thanks. I was confusing weigh forward with a hip forward preset which you recommended in one of your driver videos as a help for those of us that struggle to get the ball elevated with driver. Thanks for replying. I am Signed up for your classes some time ago. Confirmed Stack and tilter is now.
I'm glad you enjoyed this lesson, Hiro! Here is one of my channel videos on the driver: th-cam.com/video/PsTNOyAiRnY/w-d-xo.html Here is one on fairway woods: th-cam.com/video/MFeYEwG2Ds8/w-d-xo.html 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. By the way, if you'd really like to own this swing through your entire bag please consider enrolling in the SagutoGolf online school as it is one of the best golf instruction values out there.

Tom Love your lessons have a question on the belt high backswing It seems to have the toe of my iron off the ground and with low hands, Im prone to hitting the ground behind the ball sometimes It feels really solid when hit pure. Is it just a matter of repititions or are there other adjustments I need to make?
Hi Steve, I'm glad you are enjoying my content! When you address the ball with your arms hanging down naturally from your shoulders, butt pushed out, and knees slightly flexed and over your toes, the toe of the club should be slightly off the ground with the butt of the club pointing at or near the top of your pants zipper. If your body and club are in these described positions and the toe of the club is very much up off the ground, then you may want to look into having your lie angles checked. If everything checks out okay, then yes - it is likely a matter of repetition and getting comfortable with the weight forward component of this swing so that your low point doesn't shift backwards. 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 it: saguto.golf Tom
I am 48 , played shitty golf for years. Always hoping for the best, wenn i hit the ball, and never consistent. I changed to stack and tilt, used 3 weeks to train it. i am playing the golf of my life now. i even aim for flags now, hitting greens. hitting longer shots. I can tell you .. Elvis here means buisness :-) Great teacher.. Thanks Saguto....
Well done, @GrandMasterB!! I appreciate your kind words, and I'm very glad to know that my simplified S&T instruction has resonated well with you. You've obviously done an exceptional job of digesting the lesson content and incorporating it into your swing so quickly! Thanks for sharing your success, keep up the great work, and have fun out there! Tom
Every single teacher I've seen says the same thing. If you go inside that causes you to go over the top and slice. It's simply not true. Tom may be the best golf teacher on YT.
Thanks Q - I appreciate that!! And yes - unfortunately, 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....... Cheers! Tom
Tom, i am struggling with the downswing. I havent hit any balls yet but i have a practice matt on my deck and have been trying to master the swing there. 3 years ago i was in a bad wreck and suffered a tibia plateau fracture left leg. I lost a chunk of the tibia and had a graft and plates and screws. My struggle is actually hitting the matt on the downswing. I feel like my turn through isnt = to my turn back. I dont know if its mental because of the injury that is making me raise up some to lessen the weight on left side orif i am just doing something wrong. I havent recorded anything yet but plan to this weekend with wifey's help. If you have any pointers i would appreciate it.
Hi Ron, You can try this impact drill from my channel while making sure that you keep your weight forward: th-cam.com/video/Fe2kQ44azJ4/w-d-xo.html It may help you to consistently hit the ground in the same spot - a true golf fundamental - and achieve crispy contact.

Hi Tom, looking at your swing now it is not on plane anymore but a bit over the top. Tour players are more on the shallowing side. Did I miss something?
Can you make a video on swing place with some carton sheet in order to see how hands in club out at p2? For drawing the ball, the board should head to the right from the target line a little bit, should not?
Here are a couple of channel videos on hands in/club out: - th-cam.com/video/1gzcyrJ_yBw/w-d-xo.html - th-cam.com/video/WxDD63quyk8/w-d-xo.html You may be interested in looking into the SagutoGolf online school.

Welcome aboard, @Hawgslayer7 - I'm very glad to have you in the "extra-crispy buffet"!!! Just a little bit of preliminary advice as you get started. It is crucial to take sufficient time to master the fundamental components of the first couple of chapters! I cannot overemphasize this enough, as frustrations predominantly occur when a student jumps ahead in the curriculum without properly dedicating himself/herself to the foundational base upon which our consistently repeatable, powerful, low maintenance swing must be built. Please have a look at this introductory video if you have not already done so: saguto.golf/courses/1166020/lectures/30347767. 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. Here's the link with additional information for future reference. app.v1sports.com/Saguto-Golf Finally, please migrate over to the new “Office Hours” forum - which is included in your online school membership - and begin engaging with other golfers in the SagutoGolf community. 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 monitor the forum regularly and am a frequent participant in the discussions, including assisting with swing-related inquiries. I really think you’ll enjoy it! I look forward to hearing from you as you work towards building a consistent, low maintenance, powerful, body-friendly swing that will give you a lifetime of enjoyment of this great game! Cheers! Tom
I wish you would revisit right hand (trail hand) power of the swing. I'm working on that this spring and its tough when you've been using left arm and left hand to power the swing for 20+ years.

Hey Tom! About to be back in pawleys Island the week of May 14th and was wondering if I could come see ya? Idk what availability ya have? Me and my dad are going down there to play golf and then watch the pga championship. Anyways loving my game so much now the school has done so much! I am struggling with coming over the top some but still able to hit decently good shots so maybe we can work that out. Hope to see ya next week if not we’ll find a time very soon cheers!
Hi Glenn, Due to limited in-person lesson slot availability, my schedule tends to book up a bit in advance. Have a look at the lesson details here: saguto.golf/p/sagutogolf, and then feel free to send an email to lessons@saguto.golf so we can figure out an agreeable date and time. Thanks, and I look forward to seeing you - hopefully in the not-too-distant future!! Tom
It's not just possible - it is! We load a little more weight on the front side with the longer clubs at address - more like 60/40 instead of 55/45 with the short and mid irons. This moves the low point forward and produces less of a descending strike.

Weight forward 55/45 (up to 60/40 with the longer clubs), both feet flared out approximately 10-20 degrees, and the knees similarly angled outward, are prescribed setup features of Stack & Tilt. This orientation facilitates a stress-free, flowing motion back and through, resulting in a very body-friendly, consistent, powerful swing. Cheers, Tom
Hi Gary, The Stack & Tilt swing is a very body-friendly method. For me this is supported by my personal experience as a player and furthered by the fact that the majority of my students are in their 60's, 70's, and 80's - i.e.: a smorgasbord of chronic ailments, physical limitations, back/shoulder/knee/hip pain, 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.

Started teaching my 13 year old daughter the stack, tilt and lock the pits. Now she is delivering the crispy chicken with some thunder in the target. Thank you
Nicely done, Thomas!! Say hi to your daughter for me, and tell her Tom says to keep it crispy and - when she's ready - add in some mashed potatoes with extra gravy for even tastier fun!!
@@SagutoGolf it makes me so proud to hear boom over and over again on the target net and the smile on her face was priceless. Can't wait to get her back in the course

Hi Bruce, Since the vast majority of amateur golfers are used to lifting their hands, the belt-high thought is a necessary "feel" to get them into the proper position. At the top, the hands should be deep - behind the trail shoulder - and the lead arm should be at or just below the shoulder line.

Please talk about your finish tho. It has to match up w/ the path which it does. You take it so inside but finish w/ a cut follow through, which is what I’m trying to do. Otherwise it runs away from me to my right, I’m a lefty

the problem that a lot of people have with an inside move is that they feel that they have to move back round from the top. but, that is the worst thing they can do. the left arm and left chest have to work as antagonistic opposites, in the downswing. that is how we increase coil. it's an enantiodromia thing. but which is the dominant force? the arm or the chest? which one is conscious and which one is unconscious- as opposed to subconscious. the key factor there being that the unconscious never was conscious, but the subconscious was.
This works . Now hitting consistent soft draws . Now got a friend of mine to do what Tom suggests . He is now in the land of milk and honey . Thanks Tom Great presentation
Nice work, Michael!! And thanks for sending your friend my way. I know y'all with have a lot of fun together in the Land of Ball Striking Bliss!! Cheers! Tom

Do you think if Seve when he was chasing more accuracy with the driver would’ve discovered this his career would’ve been better/longer. It looks to me like he had some stack and tilt in his swing. But if he’d found the stack and tilt driver set up he may have found the answer he was looking for instead of going to Ledbetter and chasing Faldo.

Watch him here beautiful
I don't take steroids. 🤦🏾♂️
Its like Jim Carry became a great golf instructor. This tip alone changed my game. I am very appreciative and very happy. Thank you.
LOL!! Thanks for your kind words, Gus. I'm very glad to know that you are enjoying and benefiting from my instruction content!!
Keep up the great work and have fun out there!!
Tom
Mr. Saguto, I went out and tried your method today. Some of the best struck balls in MANY years. I'm 62. Thanks so much. Yes the low and around felt strange. The ball exploding dead straight off the CENTER of the clubface was magnificent. Thank you sir.
Fantastic! I'm very glad to know that my instruction content is helping you to such an extent. As I often say, "if it feels weird it's good." Your ball striking and shot shape will tell you all you need to know.
Keep up the great work and have fun out there!!

I started watching you me channel 3 weeks ago because my game was inconsistent, frustrating and not fun anymore. I am 71 and been playing for 64 years. I was taught to shift my weight from back to front.
Searching on TH-cam for the last 6 months and trying many different swings I stumbled on your videos.
Currently I am an 18 handicap and play 5 days a week. (Retired) I got it down to a 16 4 months ago but once again it went back up to an 18 because I was inconsistent with too many swing thoughts.
For the last two weeks I am now in the mid 80s and having fun. When I have a mis hit, I know what went wrong or go back to watch some of your great videos and make the correction.
For your viewers that watch your videos and try it for a week or so and say it does not work, keep at it. Change is not always easy but stack and tilt makes it easier than to reach your goals than others. Correcting 64 years of bad habits doesn’t come quickly. Thank you for your online lessons as they are great and entertaining.
I sincerely appreciate the kind words, Richard, and I am very glad to learn that my channel's instruction has benefited your game so quickly and to such an extent. You're obviously doing an excellent job digesting the lesson content and incorporating it into your swing. Yes - those "ghosts of swings past" are stubborn, but the fact that you are able to recognize and eradicate those shift & lift demons when they show up is a major step towards taking ownership of your swing!
Thanks again for your support and for sharing your success, keep up the great work, and most importantly - keep having fun out there!!
Tom
Been watching for a couple of days now and finally getting consistent impact with my driver. Thank you Tom

If you’re wondering whether Tom’s online school is worth it, it’s actually pretty great. Very detailed and clear. I just bought the DVDs from the Stack & Tilt website, what a waste of money - Tom’s instruction is so much better & covers a tremendous amount of material
Stack and Tilt man!!! I started with it last year. Broke 80 as an 18 handicap last week. It’s hands in, club out though. Don’t let the club go inside too early. Great stuff.
That's *AWESOME,* Mark!! Congratulations on your great improvement and on breaking through the 80 barrier!!
Thanks for sharing your success, keep up the fabulous work, and have fun out there!!

@@SagutoGolf Thanks for the invite Tom but I’m one of those very rare golfers who you might find challenging to coach,you see I’m a left arm low player I just have to figure things out on my own by trying to incorporate different things from conventional players and coaches, I can be challenging and frustrating. I just find your instruction much easier to follow without all the big words and gimmicks others are teaching.Thanks again.
No worries, Patrick. Thanks again for your kind words regarding my instruction content and teaching style!!
Great stuff, Tom. Your message is resonating. I just retired and have time to play. Ive been an athlete most of my life and don't like playing bad. I am also a admirer of Ben Hogan and his swing. It seems like something I can try to emulate.
Happy retirement, David!! I appreciate your kind words and I'm very glad to know that my instruction content is benefiting you!!

Watching your fantastic videos everyday, repeating repeating, your ways of teaching are extremely simple and easily understanding, your wordings are very clearily explained. You fixed all problems which most beginners came across, after watching repeatly your videos, I have a very clear pictures on those swings. Thank your very very much, Mr Saguto.
Thank you - 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!!
Keep up the great work and have fun out there!!

Excellent tip. This is EXACTLY where I'm at and "take the club back around the belt line" is EXACTLY what I needed to hear! Domo arigato, Mr. Saguto!
Tom I gotta thank you man. I've watched a lot of your videos over the last two years. Over the last few seasons I generally would hit around 100-105 with multiple mulligans. Pandemic hit and I had a lot of extra free time to practice and practice I did. This year I'm playing 100% honest and really focusing on getting rid of my slice. Shot my personal best of an 88 recently then followed that up with back to back 90s. I feel like I've made a significant step forward. My friends that I play with have all commented on the improvement. Golf is so much more fun when the ball does what you expect it to!!!
Hi Hunter,
I appreciate your kind words and I am thrilled to learn of your dramatic improvement!!
If you haven't already done so, perhaps sometime soon I'll see you enrolled in the SagutoGolf online school for just $10 US/month or $99 US/year?? 😎

Watched about half of this video before I paused it and went to the range for a lunch break, tried it out and for one of the first times, a tip that actually worked! I don't swing it like Tom exactly, but I used this one "feel" tip and started hitting great shots.. I struggle with a slight over the top move with an open face causing weak fades usually and dropped distance. After using this tip I feel like I was actually coming in on plane and getting good strikes! Thanks for this tip.. will continue to use it.
That's great, Chris - I'm very glad to know that this tip resonated so well with you!!

1. To the Quik: Tom for (3) years I played varsity College Golf.
Loved the atmosphere, good times & friends.
2. To the Point: When I played I felt comfortable.
3. My Checklist: (a) I could feel the [Spacing] in my [Fingers & Hands] for a great Grip.
(b) I looked at the [Position of the Ball]. (Not at the ball)! Why?
(c) My [Head Position] "remained" [Fluid]. A [Smooth & Consistent] [Lower Body Turn]
was the "Outcome"! Reference: [Bobby Jones] looked at the [Position of the Ball], (Not at the Ball)!
Have a great day, Tom!
Thanks for teaching this simple technique. Got to use it for the first time on course with my buddies. I repeatedly out drove them by 40 yards with beautiful drives. Balls were actually going to where I wanted them; what a wonderful change. My buddies were spraying while I was pin hunting. They repeatedly said "wow" as they watched my balls fly. This game is a lot more fun now. I am excited to go back out with your simple method. Stack and Tilt, I love it.
That's fantastic, Greg!! I'm very glad this lesson resonated so well with you - nice job incorporating it into your swing!!
Thanks for for your support in sharing your success, keep up the great work, and keep having fun out there in the Land of Ball Striking Bliss!!

PS: After you've had enough fun beating your buddies, feel free to send them my way. You'll still have a nice head start on them...😂
I did this Thursday! Shot 77 -compared to 90 sunday! Great advice!
That's fantastic, @Gert Scheepers!!

Tom, Great stuff for my golf game. I will be taking a "lower around the belt line" & applying it to my golfing edge on the course. I ready for a new golf train while wearing some "Depends" because I'll be having more fun than anyone will know! Keep it coming!
It's a wonderful sensation once you get used to it!!.... 😬😬😂😂
Have a blast out there. After a few crispy shots load up your Depends, you should find that you have the entire range to yourself....
Cheers!

This video really helped correct a flaw that was in my take-away. Keeping the club face naturally low until the lead shoulder aligns with the front foot provides a perfect start. As always, thank you so much for this channel. 😊😊😊
66 years old, read S & T, watched Most of your videos, I hit the ball about 175 with a 7 iron, when done correctly my shots go straight, no curve. and it feels effortless. thanks for your simple instructions as S&T book
can get a bit complicated. At my age I keep a roll of TP in the bag in case I crap my pants, love that!!!!
That's a *_BIG_* 7 iron, Steven - well done!! I'm very glad to know that my simplified S&T instruction content is resonating well with you.
Thanks for sharing your success, keep up the great work, and keep a supply of Depends on hand just in case!....😂

Had to wear depend undergarments on the course today. Thx Tom!

Tried this today..immediate improvement and extra yardage..amazing..thanks, Tom!
Nice!! I'm very glad to know that this lesson resonated well with you. Fabulous job incorporating it into your swing so quickly!! And you got that tremendous, virtually effortless power source known as angular momentum to thank for those extra yards - I merely showed you how to tap into it...
Thanks for sharing your success and keep up the great work!
Tom
This works. I habitually lift up and have and an all arms swing. Used this low and around belt line feel, I struck the ball with more ease and distance. Slight pull at times results were still good. Thanks.
That's fabulous, Michael - I'm very glad to know that you had some good immediate success with this! Nice job incorporating it into your swing!!

From some of your previous videos where you showed this swing I'd been practicing this motion and I've got to say, I've gained about 25yrds with my driver, my 5 iron I'm hitting around 215, and yesterday I reached a par 5 on my second with a 3 wood from 245. That's the furthest I've hit the 3 in a long time. Thanks for your awesome pointers, it's really helped me. 👌👍
That's some fabulous stuff, Les!! Sounds like you've taken your game to a completely new level!!
Thanks for sharing, keep up the great work, and have a blast with your newfound distance!!

So many scientific moments during my two year span here of learning golf...and this was the hands down BEST advice I've ever heard.
It made me realize I was stuck in an old habit of turning my shoulders too literally, in the wrong manner.
When I saw this, I went downstairs... and what it felt like...is that I was pushing my left arm down.... and holy F*** I could feel that power build up ...
I went outside...it was night but I got glow balls. It's kinda my test on stuff...cause if I can hit well in the dark I know its pretty concrete.
I hit my 7 iron... big mistake lol. As soon as I hit it... I just dropped the club and waved to the ball.
Brilliant my friend. I love your methods of teaching...it allows the student to discover on their own if need be.
That's angular momentum in all its glory, Johnny - a tremendous, effortless power source!! Sorry it cost you a glow ball...😂
And yes - self-discovery - or "figuring it out" - is a critical part of the process that allows each individual golfer to truly take ownership of their unique swing. Thanks for recognizing this hidden component of my instruction method!
Have fun out there!!
Tom
Tom thanks to you’re video’s I’ve gone from a 24 HC. Hitting balls thin fat and weak low balls, to 17 HC Im smashing them straight out the middle still struggling to draw them every time but that will come but the bonus is I’m beating my playing partners week in week out now. so thank you sir and keep the great contents coming 👌
That's some fantastic improvement, @J Wilkinson!! I truly appreciate your kind words and I am very glad to learn that my channel's instruction has benefited your game to such an extent!!

@@SagutoGolf I’m already a member and keep up to date with all you’re content. But still struggle to hit a nice draw. shot after shot but I’ll get there after thanks again for the great videos there gold dust to us hackers
hit it so pure "You are going to crap youre pants" Tom thats hilarious .
sometimes you almost do like was that me that hit that shot. Sometimes my buddies think I am being a dick staring at the shot or not moving for a moment after the shot landed. Its because I am appreciating the work that went into that made it possible to hit that shot so fuck them lol
LOL! I'm always unscripted and it just kind of came out. (Of course I'm referring to the words....from my mouth........😂😂😂)
if you were not such a great golf instructor ...you could still make a run at stand up comedy . For real
Enjoyed the video Tom! Just had knee replacement start in home therapy tomorrow. Love that crispy contact sound!
I'm glad you enjoyed it, Perry!! I hope your PT goes well so you can get back to hitting balls real soon!
Cheers!

Thanks Tom!
I have been looking for an answer to why I am topping the ball and why I am so steep and my backswing and you just gave me the information I needed to change my game completely
Unfortunately, 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.......😂

Some cracking shots there Tom will be giving this a go tonight. Cheers
Sounds good, Julian - I hope it works well for you!!
Wow! Take the club back around my waist??? This definitely gives me a better wrist set. I can also hit the ball higher??? I need to take the club much lower and around! Thanks for clearing up my misconceptions, Tom!
They're definitely not YOUR misconceptions, Greg. 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!

I haven't heard this mentioned before directly. This issue is inherent occurs in both chipping and the full swing. And it occurs mostly when a golfer has lost confidence or is nervous in their swing or chipping. The issue is Deceleration or sometimes know as "quitting" on the shot. This is one big reason a golf can hit great shots on the practice range but as soon as loses confidence or or hits a bad shot this issue can start show it's self and the problem is at times imperceptible.
You're the man Tom......
Thanks Dean - I'm glad you enjoyed it!!
Tom
I play in my first large tournament next weekend and can't wait to use my new swing!!
Sounds great! Have fun out there!!
Tom
I’ve watched your videos for about a week, specifically ones on Hogan’s swing, and in about 3 days (1 round of 9 holes and 2 days of small buckets at the range) I’ve hit my long irons crispier than ever with a baby draw, 3 wood laser beams 225+, driver bomb baby draws, and even driver off the deck! I still have my tendency to get steep and come across it some resulting in a slight push-fade, but that’s going to be minimized within a few weeks I can tell. My favorite thoughts to come back to are “shoulders and right elbow”.
Great job incorporating these lessons into your swing so quickly, Ian!! I'm very glad to know that the instruction content is resonating so well with you!!

The best golf instructor on youtuber
I have improved my game dramatically after finding your videos on stack and tilt and simple swing.
I look forward to seeing your new videos but one popped up from two years ago that has the more complicated “lassoing the cow” downswing.
Have you considered deleting your old videos that only confuse your subscribers?
Thanks for all your help!
I'm glad to learn of your improvement through my channel's instruction!. You've obviously done an excellent job digesting the lesson content, incorporating it into your swing, and taking ownership of it!!
I do my best to convey different "feels" or thoughts throughout the swing wherever possible because we're all unique physiologically and psychologically, and something that resonates effectively with me may not necessarily work for you. Furthermore, a feel or thought that performs well for you this week may run its course or get overdone and not play out so nicely next week, so it's good to have alternates to call upon if needed. The key takeaway here is that 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 same desired motion or position. (It's like a multiple choice test with no wrong answer!)
Beyond 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 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.

Great video, I have a question. Do you change the ball position for your long irons even though the swing stays the same, or do you have more of a wider stance for you long irons? Thnaks
While you do have some leeway, in general once my students and members show some level of proficiency with the swing I suggest that they migrate to a stock ball position that is in the middle of the stance for short irons, two balls inside the lead heel for middle irons, and creeping more forward for the longer clubs - the farthest forward being even with the inside of the lead heel for the driver (with the stance width increasing as we move from shorter to longer clubs). From there they can make incremental tweaks to see how different positions affect impact quality and shot shape. For example, my personal preference for the shorter clubs tends to be a position that is slightly forward of prescribed.
I know you've been quite active here in the channel, Eric. I hope to see you soon in my online school!
TS
@@SagutoGolf soon, Thanks

I'm gonna make a clip of my round today. I want you to upload it on your channel to see the results of a student that spent time wisely, intelligently, and diligently using your methods of teaching.
It's a proud moment for you I know. When you see someone just explode with happiness and excitement because they no longer have fear of anything on the course... It's why I want to teach so badly!
Still looking for that bluuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuue jean, baaaaaaaaby queeeeeeeeeeen
Prettiest girl I ever seeeeeeeeen
See her shake on the movie screen, Jimmy Dean!!!!!!! ROCKKKKKKKKK ON!!!
Didn't make the clip today. Ran into a high school classmate that I graduated with! Another reason I love golf. Brings me back around to the people I knew before. What a game.
I can tell that if I start with the hips, I hit fat every time. So breaking those old habits is all that's left for the fundamentals! Then it's really hitting the next chapter and playing the game. Can't freaking wait.
Love your teaching. Just found this a couple of months ago and trying the S&T. It does seem solid and easier. I need more practice with it though. I hit a couple of bags of balls yesterday and wasn't tired at all. Q: I'm tall and my clubs are about 2 degrees upright, would I need to have them adjusted flatter, since this new swing seems to be a flatter swing or am I missing something. Thank you and keep doing what your doing.
Love your tips and helpful maneuvers! I'm less flexible at the waist and limited shoulder swing (old shoulder break) ... any way to help that? (Novice, 74 years... 5'4", 135 lbs)
Hi Sheri,
The Stack & Tilt swing is a very body-friendly method. For me this is supported by my personal experience as a player and furthered by the fact that the majority of my students are in their 60's, 70's, and 80's - i.e.: a smorgasbord of chronic ailments, physical limitations, back/shoulder/knee/hip pain, 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.
With regard to your shoulder, the setup for this swing facilitates a stress-free 45 degrees of hip turn. If you can add another 45 degrees or so of shoulder turn - and not a full 90 degrees as prescribed by "conventional" instruction - you will have plenty of total turn to strike the ball with power!
Should you wish to give this swing a fair shot by learning it properly, please consider enrolling in the SagutoGolf online school. For just $10 US/month or $99 US/year you'll have unlimited access to a comprehensive members-only platform that really simplifies the process through succinct, step-by-step videos, and I'm regularly adding new content.

This winter I committed to switching from right handed to left handed. As right handed golfer I was committed to the traditional golf swing. I was a slicer and chunkier high handicapper. In just under a half of a year of training my mind to swing lefty while following this man's instructions I'm already close to as good as I was as a traditional righty. Ball flight legitimately has a slight draw and my distance has been consistently growing as the season progress'.....what I'm try to say through this unsolicited testimonial is....listen to this man.
Wow - talk about a major swing change..... That is fantastic!! I truly appreciate your kind words and I'm very glad to know that my instruction has assisted you in some way during this transition.
Thanks so much for your support in sharing this story, keep up the great work, and have fun out there!!
Tom
I broke 80 for the first time yesterday Thanks to Tom.
That is *AWESOME,* @RTC!!! Congratulations on your personal best and first sub-80 round!!
Thanks for sharing your success and keep up the great work!!
Tom
Nice one Tom. Keep’em coming.
Thanks Graydon - I'm glad you enjoyed this episode!!
Tom
Love the vids, Tom...I commented on another video you did about the proper back swing (it changed my life) and I was wondering if you had anything out there that can help people, like myself, take my range/practice mat game to the course...? With your lessons, I am absolutely crushing it in "practice mode" but as soon as I get to the course, it all seems to go south. I don't feel stressed or nervous but the practice game doesn't seem to translate to what I know I can do on a real course. I'm sure it's 100% in my head but any advice you might have would be appreciated. In the meantime, keep the lessons coming, they are my life line so thank you!
Hi Dan,
I'm very glad to learn of the improvements you are experiencing!!
There has been quite a bit of dialogue in the Members' Forum of my online school on the topic of how to transport "Ranger Rick" to the golf course. We all experience that! All I can tell you is that it is part of the process, and if your practice mode is delivering consistently solid results then it's just a function of time in terms of when/how that will translate itself to the course. As confidence in your swing grows you should find more and more that you are playing "golf" instead of "golf swing" on the course, at which point your mechanical thoughts will be reduced to one or two at the most, and you will be nearly entirely focused on your target and not your swing. An excellent book that may help you with this is "Fearless Golf: Conquering the Mental Game" by Dr. Gio Valiante.
Beyond that, I'd love to see you in the online school and participating regularly in the highly supportive SagutoGolf Community that is growing into something quite special in our Forum!
Keep up the great work and have patience - you're definitely getting close!!
Tom
@@SagutoGolf Honest and sage advice, Tom...I would expect nothing less. lol I feel that I could/would benefit from your golf school, I really do. A good support community is quite possibly the missing ingredient that is keeping me from realizing my full potential. And you are spot on - it's the "confidence" factor that brings me down. I'll get the book you recommended and read it over, it certainly can't hurt. :)
Great video! Glad I am a member.
Thanks! I appreciate your support and I'm glad to know that you are enjoying my content!!

This definitely helped at the driving range. I was compressing the ball well and had so much freedom to swing hard. Thanks. Is there anything we should watch for if ball striking goes wrong? Let's say slow hip turn or not enough shoulder turn etc...
I'm glad to know that this lesson resonated well with you!

@@SagutoGolf I will definitely do that. What is the difference between these two backswing feel? th-cam.com/video/txHw5SRwKrw/w-d-xo.html
@@tellsan That one is a drill for a slicer to feel the correct downswing path. It is more for downswing than it is backswing.

Tom, with so many different esteemed coaches ( A swing, rotary, one and two plane, right sided, single plane etc. Which I've performed well in the past, what makes you so confident in the Stack and tilt system? I am aware it's lineage goes to the golfing machine and morad roots. Please help a searching golfer.
Hi Todd,
Perhaps my best answer to your question can be found in my personal story of "conversion" here: th-cam.com/video/PM8lNNrMPEk/w-d-xo.html.
Stack and Tilt is a model of the golf swing based on data from the best golf ball strikers, along with the physics, geometry, and human physiology you reference (TGM, MORAD). There are basic requirements that must be met to hit a golf ball consistently on the center of the clubface with the club bottoming out in the same place every time on the ground. There are also requirements necessary to add power to the golf swing without sacrificing accuracy. Stack and Tilt determined based on a study of the best golfers of all time that they all had these 3 things in common (the 3 main golf fundamentals): 1. Hit the ground in the same spot every time (consistent crispy contact) 2. Have enough power to play the golf course well (POWER) 3. Be able to have a predictable curve (accuracy). A golfer MUST be able to do those 3 things to be good at golf, and Stack and Tilt is a system and a model for accomplishing these fundamentals incredibly well.

that was an interesting one towards the end with the closed stance thing. and, when you stop to think about it, it is virtually impossible to tell whether the stance is closed or not. if you turned your left foot in a bit your stance would be closed in appearance, so it is all relative. but, what you do, before the takeaway, to close your stance, relative to your position, is that you activate the right side of your left calf, bringing your left leg forwards. this is the key to an inside move. so, it is all relative. hogan tweaked his head to the right by adjusting his legs. the recoil in his downswiing realigned it. so, its all relative. but, you're not a proper swing maverick unless you do that one.
This gets you some really good club head speed. Tom I noticed the forward toward the target hip preset.
Possibly you should have mentioned that as well.
Hi Rob,
The weight-forward component is a key facet of the Stack and Tilt method I teach, and I've certainly mentioned it in a number of channel videos. 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. It's all part of a centered, low-maintenance, body-friendly, consistent, and tremendously powerful swing!
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 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. For just $10 US/month or $99 US/year you'll have unlimited access to a comprehensive members-only system for the full swing, the short game, and much more.

@@SagutoGolf Tom thanks. I was confusing weigh forward with a hip forward preset which you recommended in one of your driver videos as a help for those of us that struggle to get the ball elevated with driver. Thanks for replying. I am Signed up for your classes some time ago. Confirmed Stack and tilter is now.
Tom,
Great lesson!!!
Can you please hit with other clubs like fairway wood and Driver so I can see how it feels and looks.
Thank you.
I'm glad you enjoyed this lesson, Hiro!
Here is one of my channel videos on the driver: th-cam.com/video/PsTNOyAiRnY/w-d-xo.html
Here is one on fairway woods: th-cam.com/video/MFeYEwG2Ds8/w-d-xo.html
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.

Love your lessons have a question on the belt high backswing
It seems to have the toe of my iron off the ground and with low hands, Im prone to hitting the ground behind the ball sometimes
It feels really solid when hit pure. Is it just a matter of repititions or are there other adjustments I need to make?
Hi Steve,
I'm glad you are enjoying my content!
When you address the ball with your arms hanging down naturally from your shoulders, butt pushed out, and knees slightly flexed and over your toes, the toe of the club should be slightly off the ground with the butt of the club pointing at or near the top of your pants zipper. If your body and club are in these described positions and the toe of the club is very much up off the ground, then you may want to look into having your lie angles checked.
If everything checks out okay, then yes - it is likely a matter of repetition and getting comfortable with the weight forward component of this swing so that your low point doesn't shift backwards.
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.

I am 48 , played shitty golf for years. Always hoping for the best, wenn i hit the ball, and never consistent. I changed to stack and tilt, used 3 weeks to train it. i am playing the golf of my life now. i even aim for flags now, hitting greens. hitting longer shots. I can tell you .. Elvis here means buisness :-) Great teacher.. Thanks Saguto....
Well done, @GrandMasterB!! I appreciate your kind words, and I'm very glad to know that my simplified S&T instruction has resonated well with you. You've obviously done an exceptional job of digesting the lesson content and incorporating it into your swing so quickly!
Thanks for sharing your success, keep up the great work, and have fun out there!

Every single teacher I've seen says the same thing. If you go inside that causes you to go over the top and slice. It's simply not true. Tom may be the best golf teacher on YT.
Thanks Q - I appreciate that!!
And yes - unfortunately, 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.......

Tom, i am struggling with the downswing. I havent hit any balls yet but i have a practice matt on my deck and have been trying to master the swing there. 3 years ago i was in a bad wreck and suffered a tibia plateau fracture left leg. I lost a chunk of the tibia and had a graft and plates and screws. My struggle is actually hitting the matt on the downswing. I feel like my turn through isnt = to my turn back. I dont know if its mental because of the injury that is making me raise up some to lessen the weight on left side orif i am just doing something wrong. I havent recorded anything yet but plan to this weekend with wifey's help. If you have any pointers i would appreciate it.
Hi Ron,
You can try this impact drill from my channel while making sure that you keep your weight forward: th-cam.com/video/Fe2kQ44azJ4/w-d-xo.html It may help you to consistently hit the ground in the same spot - a true golf fundamental - and achieve crispy contact.

Hi Tom, looking at your swing now it is not on plane anymore but a bit over the top. Tour players are more on the shallowing side. Did I miss something?
Here's a just-released episode on shallowing the shaft: th-cam.com/video/-b04O2Qw97M/w-d-xo.html
Can you make a video on swing place with some carton sheet in order to see how hands in club out at p2? For drawing the ball, the board should head to the right from the target line a little bit, should not?
Here are a couple of channel videos on hands in/club out:

Love the TH-cam content. Just signed up for your school. I want to dive into that spicy 4 piece meal with some sides.
Sides: Double Mashed Potatoes
Welcome aboard, @Hawgslayer7 - I'm very glad to have you in the "extra-crispy buffet"!!!
Just a little bit of preliminary advice as you get started. It is crucial to take sufficient time to master the fundamental components of the first couple of chapters! I cannot overemphasize this enough, as frustrations predominantly occur when a student jumps ahead in the curriculum without properly dedicating himself/herself to the foundational base upon which our consistently repeatable, powerful, low maintenance swing must be built. Please have a look at this introductory video if you have not already done so: saguto.golf/courses/1166020/lectures/30347767.
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. Here's the link with additional information for future reference. app.v1sports.com/Saguto-Golf
Finally, please migrate over to the new “Office Hours” forum - which is included in your online school membership - and begin engaging with other golfers in the SagutoGolf community. 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 monitor the forum regularly and am a frequent participant in the discussions, including assisting with swing-related inquiries. I really think you’ll enjoy it!
I look forward to hearing from you as you work towards building a consistent, low maintenance, powerful, body-friendly swing that will give you a lifetime of enjoyment of this great game!
Cheers!
Tom

Hi Saguto! Is it possible that with the 3iron your weight and hips are more forward than with the 8 iron?
It's not just possible - it is!
We load a little more weight on the front side with the longer clubs at address - more like 60/40 instead of 55/45 with the short and mid irons. This moves the low point forward and produces less of a descending strike.

I notice your front foot is wide open toward the target. Is that a Hogan tip as well? Thanks!
Weight forward 55/45 (up to 60/40 with the longer clubs), both feet flared out approximately 10-20 degrees, and the knees similarly angled outward, are prescribed setup features of Stack & Tilt. This orientation facilitates a stress-free, flowing motion back and through, resulting in a very body-friendly, consistent, powerful swing.
Cheers,
Tom
Tom, is this a violent hit? I am a senior and don’t have that strength
Hi Gary,
The Stack & Tilt swing is a very body-friendly method. For me this is supported by my personal experience as a player and furthered by the fact that the majority of my students are in their 60's, 70's, and 80's - i.e.: a smorgasbord of chronic ailments, physical limitations, back/shoulder/knee/hip pain, 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 looks like your hands end up shoulder high on the back swing. Do you think k belt high?
Hi Bruce,
Since the vast majority of amateur golfers are used to lifting their hands, the belt-high thought is a necessary "feel" to get them into the proper position. At the top, the hands should be deep - behind the trail shoulder - and the lead arm should be at or just below the shoulder line.

Please talk about your finish tho. It has to match up w/ the path which it does. You take it so inside but finish w/ a cut follow through, which is what I’m trying to do. Otherwise it runs away from me to my right, I’m a lefty

the problem that a lot of people have with an inside move is that they feel that they have to move back round from the top. but, that is the worst thing they can do. the left arm and left chest have to work as antagonistic opposites, in the downswing. that is how we increase coil. it's an enantiodromia thing. but which is the dominant force? the arm or the chest? which one is conscious and which one is unconscious- as opposed to subconscious. the key factor there being that the unconscious never was conscious, but the subconscious was.
Tom like what see the problem I have is there is no side camera and your face coming back to the camera, know your trying to keep it lite.
This works . Now hitting consistent soft draws . Now got a friend of mine to do what Tom suggests . He is now in the land of milk and honey . Thanks Tom
