GOLF'S ULTIMATE DRIVER CRASH COURSE [Setup | Swing | Slice/Hook Fixes]
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 มิ.ย. 2024
- GOLF'S ULTIMATE DRIVER CRASH COURSE! Welcome to Golf's "DRIVER'S ED" - you will become a master of the driver in your golf swing with this full online golf driver clinic from Tom Saguto. This clinic includes the Golf Swing Driver Setup, Driver Slicing and Driver Hooking fixes, as well as the proper Driver Golf Swing.
Learn all of the keys to being a successful, powerful and accurate, driver of the golf ball. This four-part clinic will teach you the following things:
1. Driver Setup - pre-shot fundamentals of successful driving.
2. Driver Swing - how you should approach swinging the driver. I think you'll find that the swing is very much THE SAME as with any other club. BUT, keep these checkpoints in mind. Because the driver is a much longer club, what you're FEELing versus what is REAL are two totally different things!
3. Fixes for Common Driver Problems and Pitfalls - stop slicing and hooking and get rid of those low shots!
4. BONUS, Tom will be having a launch monitor session with feedback on his launch monitor numbers and how you can improve your driving with launch monitor feedback.

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.

Love these golf tips.
Hi Tom, please make another webinar for us Europeans. At 1.30am it´s hard to follow :-) And if you are wondering how far your channel reaches: I am from Austria, and no, we don´t have Kangaroos.
Hey Tommy, Great stuff. We have changed to daylight time or maybe you don’t spring forward in South Carolina.
for amateur, what loft you would recommend for a driver? 10.5 higher or lower?
SagutoGolf e
Thank you for three of the best tips I ever got from a TH-cam instructor: move the ball to the middle of my stance, bump my hips toward the target during the backswing, and swing with the shoulders rather than swing with the arms. I got all of those ideas from you and when I make sure my right elbow goes toward my liver, I'm good. Your free, TH-cam instruction is better than what I got at Martin Chuck's $2000 camp and from local instructors who charged me $100/hour. You got the mojo, bro.
Wonder if he offers lessons.
The ball should never be in the middle of your stance when driving off the tee
@@LostHisSoninIraq he does, you just record some of your swings and send them to him. He will analyze it and tell you you what you're doing wrong and how to fix it I believe. I'm thinking of doing lessons in a few weeks when the outdoor ranges open up in my city.
@@artybone6946 I will. Thank you for the reply.
Agreed that Martin Chuck online course was kind of terrible.
Today I hit 9/12 fairways, 9/18 greens, 4 more were within 5 yards of the green. Shot an 81! Started watching Tom Saguto less than 2 months ago! Been a high 80s low 90s guy all my life. Golf is really fun right now!!
Don’t underestimate this guy. I bought his course and he knows his stuff. His humor is for TH-cam and some laughs.
He strictly business in his course.
I'm most grateful for your kind words pertaining to the online school, Jay, as well as your validating remarks regarding my instruction style.
Thanks so much for your message and support!!
Tom
Most likable goober on TH-cam.
And Goober was so underrated and under appreciated.
Agree!!!!
Lmao
My favorite TH-camr. Tom has perfected the instructional video. Personal, funny as hell, skilled, unconventional, and he's speaking to normal golfers. So many videos are for young athletic players and people of already high skill. This channel is what REAL golf needs.
No doubt man. Tom's approach has transformed my swing. I am a believer.
I agree gtd..love your channel too.
if u inherently athletic then you can get more out of this swing. Even then more athletic people can add way more power with a simple swing. Most great batters and golfers have simple swings like this. what makes it special is their athleticism
Why isn’t saguto golf bigger than every other golf channel on TH-cam? Great stuff.
Not sure, @Happy, but I do appreciate your kind words and support. Shout it from the rooftops!! 😎
TS
Saguto, you are the best golf TH-camr that I have ever seen. You are funny, highly intelligent and you speak in plain English and you use examples that anyone can understand. Keep up the outstanding, funny and much needed work.
I sincerely appreciate your kind words, and I am very glad to know that you are benefiting from my instruction content and enjoying my teaching style!!
Thanks again for your support and have fun out there!!
Tom
25 years classroom teacher, not golf, but I can say you are a natural teacher.
Thanks DD Nick - I truly appreciate that!!
Tom
I use to teach and the best way was to put out the questions, all sit around the teacher and debate how to get to the answer. Once everyone agrees to the right solution and how to get to the right answer. Then we all have won.
Tom, I watched and rewatch your video on "the swing' with a driver. Although I am still learning, I hit a 240 drive on Tuesday....and then 200+ drives throughout the 18 holes....it really, really, really works! My golf buddies were stunned....I am 70 and you are right! Hit the ball "To the Moon and Back"!!!!
He’s the best. How u hitting ur irons
I am 85 yrs old with a 25 handicap. My driving distance has improved by 20to 30 yards. I measured the distance yesterday at 204yds - unbelievable for me. My 3 wood was 174yds, again unbelievable. You have a wacky presentation method but it certainly works. I'm just about to sign up for your chipping and pitching course. Thank you so much for your help in improving my game enormously. My golfing buddies can't believe it.
That is FABULOUS, Joe!! Thanks so much for sharing, and keep up the great work!!
I'll bet your scores haven't improved.
Hi Saguto Golfers! I've been out of golf action for a few months due to a work-related back injury. Have to confess that I'm not the best of patients, so I've deliberately stayed away from golf whilst nursing my injury. Anyway, finally got back into it 2 weeks ago and did OK. Having rediscovered my golf mojo, I've now reacquainted myself with the Sir Thomas Saguto golf school here on TH-cam. A few refresher videos later, I'm once again stacking over the ball - 55% loaded on the front foot, rotating my body around the ball, dropping the left shoulder under my chin and twatting the ball with "the wrath of god". Slowly but surely im seeing my scores getting lower and my confidence levels rise as my consistency levels push up higher on the Saguto KFC crispy scale. Keep on producing the uber-ace video's Tom, you're a breath of fresh air in an otherwise largely stale world of golf TH-camr's👌👌👌
I’ve been watching Golf videos for years...
Training myself,
Taking tips and advice,
Working hard mentally and physically on my game.
Saguto golf is God sent for me.
I’ve shared these videos with my two sons
Who both love golf 🏌️
Solute to you Tom!
Thank you Ralph!
Hi Tom - love your videos no technical terms just plain simple advice.I`m 75 now and just wish someone like you had been around 50years ago teaching like this.Keep up the great work.
I've been out of golf for about a year due to a torn rotater cuff and a back injury, not related to golf. Getting started back at 60 over injuries if very hard and depressing by yourself. Saguto videos have always motivated me very quickly., such as this awesome video. I've taken the Saguto online class. It's the best. After a year, it took me only 7 holes to start crushing my drives again doing exactly what I learned in the Saguto online school. I truly have enjoyed all of his videos while applying them. The best and most detailed golf school.
That's awesome!! 💪💪
I'm thrilled to learn of your rekindled love for this greatest of games, and I sincerely appreciate your kind words regarding the online school and this body-friendly, consistent, powerful swing system for all ages!!
Thanks so much for your support and keep up the fantastic work!!
Tom
Learning the proper way to keep the proper weight on the lead side during the entire swing has given me much, much more consistency and distance. The set you taught in the course is a game changer. Swinging every club the same way, except the driver, I use the tilt away from the target has resulted in many crispy drives, in which I had the same amount of weight on the lead foot then to. I watch one of your online videos the night before I go play every time and it's is coming together surprisingly well. Thank you. I love it!
I about died laughing when he said “and then hit it with the wrath of god”. Then he smoked the building. 😂
You know, I have seen Tom's vids come up in my feed or whatever YT calls it. I finally clicked on one, now have been binging LOL. He should do standup while still teaching us this swing!
Me too‼️🤣😂❤
Me 2‼️🤣😂
I love Tom's humor in golf. It definitely makes the swing tips more interesting to follow.
This is the best driver video on the internet. No exaggeration. On top of it being super informative it's hilarious. Great job, Tom and thanks for the help.
Thanks so much for your kind words. I'm very glad to know that this driver lesson resonated with you, and I hope it performs well when you put it into play!

Still in awe of how good these videos are. As I mentioned on another one of your posts, I'm just starting golf again after a 30 year absence, and the game has changed a lot since I last swung a club. Your videos have been invaluable in getting me back up to speed. I've still got a long way to go, but I'm getting there with content like this! I'm looking into getting a subscription to your web site, too.
Thanks again for your comments and support, and I hope to see you soon in the online school!!
Tom
Back of my local range is 350, with standard range balls, I’m in no danger of hitting the back. I do clear the 60 foot tall tree at 220 with ease, thanks to your swing tips.
That's still a dam good poke!! 💪💪

Thank you TS. I’m 74 and you have helped me hit it consistently flush!
One of the best driver lessons I’ve ever seen!!! I’ve always been hesitant to load the front leg. Always thought I had to have weight on back foot. Thanks Saguto!!!
Glad you enjoyed it, Keith!!
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!
TS
@@SagutoGolf FYI - I gained 35 yards on my drive!!!🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Awesome!!!!
Finally I found my teacher. You’re excellent. The best. I can tell now I am going to enjoy the game. Thank you
I truly appreciate your kind words, Rafael!

Observation from the local driving range...after watching video, I noticed the golfers in the golf bay next to myself(meaning I was looking at his back)...HAD IS FACE of the club leaning so far forward, the BACK OF THE CLUB was off the ground...then when I changed clubs I saw the same thing on the golfer behind myself...and then after the first golfer finished and was replaced...a THIRD golfer did the same thing...delofting the club...finally, took the lesson to the range, then to a course...and sure enough ALL three players were doing the same thing...what brought it to my attention was their almost universal reaction to the ball flight...grunts and groans...thought you might include a commentary as you continue the lessons...they have been helping a lot...by the way...at 74, I out drove all three of the fellow players yesterday...and attribute that to this lesson
Great observations, and yes - I do see that all the time. Folks try to actively manufacture that forward shaft lean impact condition that they hear about ad nauseum, yet they do not understand that this is a naturally occurring consequence of a well-executed swing and not a contrived action unto itself. As such it wreaks havoc on their swing, their contact, and their ball flight. Thus the grunts and groans....
Anyway, 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 ball striking improvement and keep up the great work!! 💪💪
Tom
PS: By the way, I would be remiss if I didn't mention that a significant percentage of my online school members are in their 60's, 70's, and 80's - i.e.: a smorgasbord of chronic ailments, physical limitations, back/shoulder/knee/hip pain, arthritis, and joint replacements - and they are overwhelmingly elated to experience the dramatic pain-free game improvement, seemingly effortless power, and resulting enjoyment that this swing affords them.
If you've not already joined, have you considered enrolling in the online school and taking your learning - and your game - to the next level? That's where - in addition to detailed lessons and drills that take you through the entire swing step-by-step, position-by-position from setup to finish - you'll find diagnostic tools for identifying/resolving swing and ball flight issues when they arise, plus advanced level instruction, and much more. 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.
As you can tell from your results so far, one does not need the flexibility of a Romanian gymnast - or even of this far less pliable golf instructor - to execute this swing, experience great ball striking, and reclaim - or even exceed - yardages from years past. I hope you'll give the school some thought.
Tom, I'm loving the simple concepts you share and the entertaining lighthearted way you go about it. 5,000 volts indeed!
LOL, Thanks Tom, a very informative and Fun Time at Driver's ED, I really needed this!
Good job Tom. The most important thing I got out of this for me was it made me aware that I was dropping my
left side down on the back swing to get my left shoulder down. I am sure I did not do that in my younger days. I enjoyed your presentation, keep up the good work you make the game fun again.
I come from a family of pro golfers and I have to say you are hilarious and great instructor. A lot of fun my friend. 😊
I'm glad to learn that you are enjoying my "lesson and a show" instruction style, Greg! Just know that despite the entertainment aspect, everything taught here from a golf swing perspective is consistent with a system rooted in physics, geometry, and human physiology, and modeled on empirical observations of the game's greatest ball strikers. So have a chuckle or two, and then get to work! 😎
Thanks for your message and support!!
Tom
I’m currently enrolled in Tom’s online course. It has helped my game tremendously but my driving is still terrible.
I took this lesson to the driving range over the past few days. Not sure what 60% feels like on my lead leg but I stacked a lot of weight on it, took my backswing, and ripped it dead straight. Then I did it again, and again, and again.
As far as the push up from the lead leg during follow through, I felt that I had to initiate this as it didn’t seem to come as naturally as Tom suggests. Who cares? I was hitting the ball at least 250 and straight.
I have been following Tom for a few months now trying all of the free stuff I could get. I came across his video on keeping the left arm straight and putting your weight on the lead side and it transformed my swing. After watching YT videos for years and trying so many techniques I was still skeptical, but after about three months of practice, mainly with irons, there is no doubt - it is the real deal. Now it might not be for everyone, but for me it was THE game changer I was looking for. Time for me to commit and join up. I want it all now.
He didn’t stack as much towards the end. 330?? Amazing.
I’m in the UK and I’ve just stumbled across your channel. I love your enthusiasm and teaching style! You get the key points across whilst keeping it fun and easy to pick. Thank you and keep up the good work !!!’
Thanks Russ - I appreciate that!!
"Ball position is anchored by your left foot"...Huge aha moment for me, thanks!
My pleasure! I'm glad that little ball position tip help you, Rene!!
Tom
Hey Tom thanks for putting all these swing videos on youtube. I found your channel last weekend and ive been practicing everyday to adjust to the stack and tilt method and its working wonders.
Literally every club is 15 to 30 yards further and now my driver went from 225-250 to 260-300 meaning more fun!
That's fabulous, and it's definitely about having more fun!!! Thanks for sharing!
I am thrilled to have found you on utube. I’ve had hundreds of lessons from various pros with marginal improvement. But I have made a giant step forward following your posts. On the practice range I am putting a sliced in half tennis ball under the left foot to keep reminding me to put the weight on that foot. Magic! Thanks so much
Tom, you're a fantastic teacher. I've been practicing your methods for a month now. I'm making much better contact with all my clubs, and just crushing my irons. So much so, I'm unsure of my yardages now. However, I seem to be pulling shots now more than before. Hopefully I can work that kink out. Anyways, keep up the great tutorials.
I agree Josh, I was hitting behind the ball with my irons but today I broke 80 (I am 61 and don,t do that often) after following Toms advice to load up more on the left leg. Hit some cracking 4, 5 and 6 irons as Tom would say real crispy, great teacher. Wish I could drop by but from Sydney.
Tom, tried this out over the weekend. i was hooking a bit, but flushed several drives 270 metres! I'm nearly 50! My mates weak slice was going 180 max. He wasn't happy...
That's what I like to hear! Feels good huh?! Keep at it, it only gets better when you smooth it out a bit and really pick out the small details in the videos.
yeah same, couple of drives out at 280 metres total, not sure on carry. but definitely an extra 30 metres and i wasn't stepping on it either
Thx Tom, the address instruction was very good, and such a simple thing to do and I don’t have to think where to stand. Just go to the same set up position every time, who knew.
Once again Tom, you are spot on. I am working on it and it's getting there. Your lessons are fun!
5:30 am here in Arizona, drinking coffee, watching this lesson. Coffee out the nose at the 11:00 min mark. Keep up the good work!
LOL! Sorry about the mess, Shane......😆
Glad you're enjoying the content!
Can`t wait to try this. My iron game has improved so much thanks to you, so now time to master the Driver :)
Exactly my experience using this swing, just have to trust it more with 3 wood and driver.
To quote the great Verne Lundquist, "I'm compelled to say 'Oh my goodness.'" Used this lesson in my last round. When done correctly, getting the hands in, full turn and pushing off (exploding with the left leg) and ball...goes...FAR!!! And, not just with the driver, but fairway woods, irons and wedges! You're a golf genius, Tom! Thank you Saguto Golf!!
I’ve recently discovered your channel.....love it! When I play my first round this year I’m going tilt.
Tom
Your instruction has positively changed my game ! Most instructors on uTube make golf complex and basically confuse everyone. Thank you Tom
I'm very glad to learn of your improvement, Nickolas!!
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. 😎
The way I see it, we can either simply put the already existing natural laws to work for us, or we can twist, morph, torque, contrive, and otherwise mess with the principles of physics and geometry in an effort to better suit some ill-conceived whims, all the while recognizing that at the point of impact those pre-existing laws are going to be the only things that matter to the ball.
Thanks for your kind words and keep up the great work!!
Tom
I can't stress enough how Tom makes me excited about getting out to the range to practice. His simple breakdown makes me believe I can do it. And... it works. I'm hitting it so much better. There are still years of bad habits to work through so I have to take it slowly but I think I'm starting to remake my ineffective, inconsistent swing. Many thanks.
Thanks again for your kind words, Whitney!
What I teach is a complete golf swing system, not a series of tips, band-aids, and fixes for field dressing swing wounds. As such, the transformation takes time as we work to gradually eradicate those stubborn ghosts of swings past. It's a very worthwhile process, though, as it ultimately leads us to the land of consistent ball striking bliss. That is also why the sequential, comprehensive, structured learning platform of the school is far superior to trying to haphazardly piece things together through a series of YT videos.
Keep up the great work!!
Tom
So YESTERDAY I went golfing using the stack n tilt, had a good day but the driver was crap; nice timing on this lesson because I am headed out again today in about 10 minutes for range and 18 holes. Thanks for this lesson.
Been using all these tips on the range and on the course. It's so simple and easy, the last 4 rounds shot 75,77,78&76 all thanks to you has made the game more enjoyable now🙂
From the lady tee box?
@@AC-cj9zl Some people actually break 80 every day. Shocking, I know.
That looks my high school scores in 1980.
I want to thank you you've help me go from a 10 handicap to 5.0. You make things so simple!
That's *AWESOME,* Margarito!! I am thrilled for your dramatic improvement, and I sincerely appreciate your kind words regarding my instruction content and teaching style!!
Thanks for for your support in sharing your success, keep up the great work, and have fun out there!!
Tom
Tom, your videos and instruction are Awesome! Much thanks for all the great advice. Driving is my weakest part of my game, so this video was right on for me. Thanks bud!!!
I appreciate that, Ian, and I'm glad to know that you are enjoying and benefiting from my instruction content!

I am glad that the started watching Saguto channel, first I thought he is like 100s of others who want to keep talking and complicate things. I have been struggling with my swing this season, did not know what went wrong, then once watched his videos and instructions with in a week I can see the changes. He is good.. in fact very good.. explains it very simple and easy to understand.. thank you Tom..
U makin it look so easy. This swing is wat i need. More power from the hips
Your demonstration of ball position has my mind blown🤯
Ball position literally blew my mind. Lol. how has no one explained that so easy. I feel like I’m good at getting my feet lined up by now but wish I saw this 5 years ago
Dear Tom,
thank you very much for your course from Spain. I'm so grateful. Now I feel have a consistent system for each club of my bag.
Best regards.
I appreciate your kind words, @Aitor Grandes, and I am very glad to know that you are benefiting from my instruction!!
Thank you for your support, keep up the great work, and have fun out there!!

Tom - I like your simple and down to earth approach in teaching, which is really good and fitting for most weekend golfers like me.
When I start feeling my swing changing I always refer back to your videos to get my swing back.
I appreciate knowing that, and I'm very glad to learn that my instruction content and teaching style are resonating with you!!

Your instruction is so realistically positive lesson I have ever had ,cheers Tom ,I’m taking it out onto the course via the range tonight.cheers Andy ..
Thanks for your very kind words, Andy!! I look forward to hearing about your range and course experiences!
Cheers!
Tom
Tom - oh to be young again, I’m 70. Thank you for the driver instruction, I sure need it. It appears your back (right) leg does not straighten that much with the driver. I wish you had a down the line shot, so we could see the back swing from a different view. I started your swing (stack and tilt) a couple months ago. I could not believe the results at first. But last week, I got screwed up with the driver. I tried everything, but nothing worked.. got really bummed out. Today, I saw how you push off with your left leg and tuck your butt while extending. Will take this thought to the range tomorrow. Thanks again.
Love it. I want to hit the building one day!
That's my dream too.
Tom I like your approach to ball set up, I never thought of using the club between the heel and I hope to improved my ball hitting since it's seems more consistent. I'm 69 and getting back into golf after 5 years away, my swing is between 95 and 97 230 to 250 distance. Not only are you good you make it fun with the jokes and that I like. I am retired and watch your videos in the morning and it makes my day. Good Job
Great video, I've been struggling so bad with the driver, and you've nailed what I'm doing (over the top, forcing it, out to in). I'm gonna take this to the range and practice and practice as it's killing me!. Thanks Tom
I hope you're figuring out that driver, Stuart! If you haven't already done so, please subscribe to the channel as there is plenty of helpful lesson content on here.

I’m the exact opposite I had a mean slice.
Tom your videos have helped me alot in such a short time. Went to the range today and had a great session.
My worst shots were minor slices or topped balls but 9/10 of my shots were consistently straight and crisp like buttered mash potatoes like you say lol. Thanks for the great tips! Keep em coming mate
My pleasure, Charlie! I'm very glad to know that my instruction is resonating well with you!!
Cheers!
Tom
Dude, you crack me up, we gotta have a beer sometime.
went out today. all my drives were either down the middle or slightly left of middle. Being lefty, i placed weight on my right leg, pulled my left foot slightly back, checked my grip, titled slightly, and took a shallow swing. Great tips!!!
Your humor and sarcasm are a breath of fresh air. I'm very sarcastic and this is just a game after all, no matter what level you are at. Appreciate your impressive instruction and how you make it fun. Thanks

I'd like to see out on the course, like a golf vlog.
That was the quickest 38 minutes ever. I love your videos and personality. Thanks! New follower!
Thanks Tom! Having fun with my added distance. Logged a 227 with my 5 and 175 with my 9 @ 68 years old. Credit to Cleveland hi-bor performance. Actually, having to scale things down for on course accuracy.. Really jazzed about mastering the Driver with your pointers. Still working thru old bad habits. Debt of gratitude 2 U for keeping future bright ⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡
I had to come back and watch this haha. I am guilty of letting my brain tell me "it's time to go boom boom"
Young man, you have integrated all of the important factors for me. I will be forever grateful. Nice job!
I truly appreciate your kind words, Bob, 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!!
Thanks for sharing your success and keep up the great work!!
Tom
Just a regular hacker here that's taken many lessons over the last twenty-something years that loves the game but struggles with inconsistency-no longer. I purchased the online course and the money was well spent!!! Saguta explains it in detail with specific drills to develop a consistent swing. The results are lower scores and I'm no longer overthinking over the ball. The improvement is an instance so I no longer feel lost even during those lapses of concentration we all are prone to on the course. FYI, I don't get paid for this advertisement. Thank you Saguto!!
Thank you for your kind words and your (unpaid 😆) testimonial for the online school, Alex!! I'm very glad to know that you are benefiting from the instruction and enjoying this great game more as a result; that is ultimately what this is all about.
I did my best to price the school at a "no-brainer" level given the quality and effectiveness of the delivered product, and I sincerely appreciate you recognizing that and taking the time to "shout it from the rooftop"!!
Thanks again, keep up the great work, and have fun out there!!
Tom
@@SagutoGolf It's easy to promote a quality product that I've gained the benefits of in such a short time. I'm working slowly to absorb all the fundamentals and absolve myself from the myriad of past habits. Once I've completed it to my "Swing DNA," then I'll reach out to you for the next step. Thanks again for all the quality content and for keeping it simple.
My pleasure, Alex, and thank YOU again for your support!!

Fastly becoming my goto channel. First because you're such a goofball, but now it's more because your instruction is spot on!!
Customers - What the hell was that?!
Business owner - It's just Tom practicing his driver.
Hey Tom. Love your energy. Any chance you could make a video on up hill and down hill lie as well as ball above the feet and below? Thanks 😂👍
ive been playing golf since i was 12 and quit after 10 years at handicap of 4 as i just couldn't strike it clean, flipping at the ball constantly. i had lessons every week even went to a go academy when i left school and nothing worked! started playing again last week after 5 years without hitting a ball and found your channel after my first round. watched one saying keep your elbows pointed to your hips at address and weight on front leg and i havent struck a ball like it in my whole life. how after 10 years of constant tuition did not one coach ever notice i didnt do this and just try change everything else only to make it worse!!! crazy! i may start playing again because of your videos. thankyou
I am sorry for your past frustrations, Ryan, but I'm very glad to learn that you're thinking about giving the game another try!!

Thanks for your comment; I hope to see you back out on the course again soon!!
Tom
The golden tips here are at 14:30, IMO.
Saguto, simply the best.
Do you use an “active” hand release through the hitting area or do you use a “drive hold” type release? Tom could you answer this please? Thank you.
Dave Parsons way to make it weird guy
Hold off thru 2-3 ft after impact and then rehinge the wrists to release the club.
You kind of came out of nowhere but for what it's worth, I like your lessons and style. I love people that love golf. Keep up the good work.
This one video has helped more than 3 years worth of videos I have watched. Keep the great content coming and I appreciate how much you have helped my game.
Thanks Joe! So glad to know that this is helping you! Keep up the great work!!!
Thanks for giving us real specs. Most teachers are having us hit up, which I think traps me a little on the back foot. I just read that pros hit, on average, 1.3 degrees down.
You read correctly, Steven, and thus I do not advocate trying to hit up on the ball, as efforts to do so due to erroneous advice has caused many an amateur significant issues with their driver. Think of proper impact position - hands leading the clubface, bowed front wrist, weight 90% loaded into the lead leg. It'd be difficult to retain those angles if we were actually hitting up on it. So, perhaps with the exception of folks with slower swing speeds - or those Long Drive participants using extra high tees and hitting maybe 1-2 balls out of 10 onto a 60-yard wide "fairway" - the path should be ever so slightly down.
Cheers!
Tom
Tom "Oh, that felt good" Saguto
I have really enjoyed all the awesome lessons that have turned calculus into addition, it adds up and makes sense and it has worked very well. Great tip that the driver is like all the other clubs. I've always hit my other clubs better than my driver. I went to the driving range and made sure my set up was correct worked on getting my shoulder under chin on the backswing and in the downswing. It made a huge difference. Once I started pushing off with my right leg I started crushing it. Your lessons are the best. As I have gotten older ,I can't handle the heat as well, so using your lessons really got me out of the desert. Thank you!!
That's fantastic, Scott!! I sincerely appreciate you sharing your dramatic improvement with the driver, and I'm very glad to know that my instruction in general is resonating well with you!!
Thanks so much for your kind words and support, and keep up the great work!!
Tom
PS: If you've not already joined, have you considered enrolling in the online school and taking your learning - and your game - to the next level? That's where - in addition to detailed lessons and drills that take you through the entire swing step-by-step from setup to finish - you'll find diagnostic tools for identifying/resolving swing and ball flight issues when they arise, plus advanced level courses, and much more. Thousands of folks across the globe - including many seasoned, low-handicap, competitive players - are now enjoying the best golf of their lives as a result, and I'm happy to let their unsolicited testimonials tell the story: saguto.golf/p/sagutogolfreviews.
Your the best ever instructor I’ve ever listened to . I recommended every golfer to you because the other ones make it real difficult to understand them.Thank you so very much.
Thank you very much for your kind words about my simple teaching style, Rodrigo! I'm glad to know that my instruction videos are helping you, and I truly appreciate you recommending me to your friends!!
Keep up the great work and have fun out there!!
Tom
I just notice something............ Tom walked at least a mile to do this video LOL!!~ Great video Tom!
I was LMAO when that ball hit the building. 😂😂. Wish I could hit it that far!
Hey Tom. EXCELLENT! I have been using this since watching you and it is a “GAME CHANGER”. I do have one major concern. I don’t hear you talking about keeping your head still. When you are describing the swing and showing examples, your head is moving all over the place. When you take your real swing, your head is stable and ultimately getting the rocket launch you describe. Please clarify that with your followers! Do you agree? I look forward to your response. Again thank you for making a huge difference in my game. I am 70 and consistently hitting in the low 80s. Most of my issues now are just short came that will come with more practice and expect to be below 80.
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!
I absolutely do talk about a stable head. Here is one of my videos on this topic: th-cam.com/video/E5csidjztzg/w-d-xo.html A little bit of head tilting is acceptable (think of Jack Nicklaus), but we don't want the head to move out of the "box" established at address, neither up/down or side-to-side. Any such movement shifts the swing center and low point, causing two primary issues: 1) We lose some of the power that comes from swing in a fixed-point circle, and 2) we have to make a precise compensatory move in the downswing or else our ability to achieve consistently pure impact is fleeting.
By the way, you may be interested to know that a significant percentage of my online school members are in their 60's, 70's, and 80's - i.e.: a smorgasbord of chronic ailments, physical limitations, back/shoulder/knee/hip pain, arthritis, and joint replacements - and they are overwhelmingly elated to experience the dramatic pain-free game improvement, seemingly effortless power, and resulting enjoyment that this swing affords them. Have you looked into the comprehensive, sequential learning platform of the online school yet? That's where - among many other courses and lessons covering various aspects of the game - you will find very detailed instruction and drills that take you through the entire swing step-by-step, position-by-position from setup to finish. 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. Thousands of men and women from across the globe - including many seasoned, 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 I'm happy to let their unsolicited testimonials tell the story: 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.
As for your short game challenges, here is a chipping lesson from last year that has helped a lot of folks to shave strokes from around the green: th-cam.com/video/aatbA39KtRc/w-d-xo.html
Thanks so much for sharing your improvement and keep up the great work!!
Tom
Tom dropping knowledge as usual. Thx for all the tips!
Dude I’m telling you now, you have turned my golf swing upside down...good way. I can’t believe all this crap I’ve been sold all these years.
Sadly not everyone grasps this due to ignorance. Glad you're on board now. Makes the game irresistibly fun now, even more than before haha! Cheers man. GL out there.
Yes I was always told to shift weight to the right,this is complete opposite
Tom, in previous videos you stressed letting your trail leg straighten at the top of your backswing but in this video I noticed that your trail leg stayed flexed? Is this because your using the driver instead of your irons or does it have something to do with pushing off more with your lead lag?
his trail leg is the same the whole time, It's the longer arc that is deceiving you.
Or possibly the stance being wider, due to longer club
Thank you Tom for your response in regard to keeping your head still. Your teaching is EXCELLENT! My game has absolutely improved with your techniques.
My pleasure! And thanks so much for your kind words regarding my instruction; I'm thrilled for your improvement and I appreciate your sharing that.
Keep up the great work!!
Tom
This guy is brilliant. ALL his classes are superb and fabulously simple. Tony Perrin
36:12 ... and into the lumberyard it goes.
"If you swing over the stick, I'm going to get so mad" lol
Best driver tutorial ever❤❤❤ just goes to show swinging harder doesn't really add much of anything, maybe 10-15 yards. Which won't matter with 2nd shot because all you need to do at that point is go up or down an iron on 2nd shot. Like if the hole is 390 yards and I hit it 270 plus some roll to say 290, all I have to do is select my iron that I consistently hit 90-100 yards to the green. ❤❤❤
Thanks - I'm glad to know that this lesson resonated so well with you!!
When we try to swing harder with the upper body, arms, or hands, we generally lose clubhead speed and accuracy because we disrupt our sequencing. Here's a resent lesson on that topic: th-cam.com/video/VtufwVMChHg/w-d-xo.html

Literally everything youre describing is blowing my mind. Describing the driver relative to the other clubs the way you did made my brain stop over thinking so much. Thank you!!!
My pleasure!! I'm very glad to know that this driver lesson resonated with you, and I hope it performs well when you put it into practice!
Thanks for your message and support!
