Tom, you’re a great teacher. You simplify and explain and it makes sense. You have helped my game tremendously. Other instructors often attempt to over address each subject in their lesson, making their style of teaching sometimes difficult to duplicate. You make it appear simple when we all know how difficult golf can be OR we individually make it. To many of us do not understand how to practice. Watch how Tom is teaching and follow his lead.
Tom is a legend. He’s more brilliant than all of the mainstream “experts”. Listen to Tom and you will play the best golf of your life. You’re the best Tom and the coolest.
Thanks for your very kind words, @Gunner K - I truly appreciate your support, and I'm glad to know that you are enjoying and benefiting from my instruction style and content!! Tom
Tom, I can't count how many golf instruction videos I've watched on TH-cam. I will say that your videos have helped me more with my ball striking than any other. I'm 69 and hitting the ball better than ever. My typical score for 18 holes was high 80's to low 90's and now i'm high 70's to low 80's. My wife's game has really improved also. Keep doing these videos. Thanks
That's fantastic, David! I'm very glad to know that my instruction is resonating with both you and your wife; excellent job incorporating it into your swings and putting it into play!! Thanks so much for sharing your ball striking and scoring improvement, keep up the great work, and of course I will keep the videos coming!! Tom PS: By the way, since my channel's content is performing well for you and your wife, I think you both will also benefit from my FREE mini course - “The Top 3 Things You Need to Be a Great Ball Striker” - where you can learn some key aspects of the swing system I teach in a more structured manner.

The 45 degree on perspective showing tilt toward the target is brilliant! So beat up mentally about a reverse pivot, I stopped tilting and played sh__ lacking KRISPY golf for years! Thank you...@@SagutoGolf
Damn, Tom. As a former pilot, "tilting the wing" finally clicked. I was doing what I had THOUGHT was a tilt (it was a kinda-sorta). The 45 degree angle video shots where mind-altering; you are right you never see them on TV! Keep it crispy Colonel Tom.
This move has finally allowed me to get perfect contact with my driver and I am hitting the ball 25 yards further than I ever have without as much effort. Thank you Tom. Your explanation is so simple
That's fantastic Matt - I'm glad this lesson is resonating well with you and your driver! Thanks for sharing, keep up the great work, and have fun out there!! Tom
I have literally been in a 10-year golf swing abyss that was destroying my joy for this game. No more. Incorporating this instruction not only eliminated 90% or more of my fats and thins and also effectively eliminated toe-dominant contact. Shot after shot after shot is coming out of the center of the face now. I have not felt compression like this is 10 flippin' (pun intended) years. THANK YOU!
That's awesome, @Ron Man!! I'm very glad to know that this lesson resonated with you - fantastic job incorporating it into your "flippin'" swing!! 😎 Thanks for sharing your success with this, keep up the great work, and recapture your joy!!!

Just started golfing again after quitting 22 years ago. Tom's tilt turn and extend lesson made it so I could actually play very well. I never knew about this nor heard it before. It made all the difference. I am glad to be back playing golf after 22 years .
Welcome back to this great game, Rob!

Best lesson ever. I was told to turn shoulder, turn rib cage, turn hip 45, etc, all of these led me to sway, causing compensation during downswing. tilt left shoulder - lower left shoulder and squeeze left rib cage, fold left side - all these great stuff occur naturally. Thank you Saguto golf! You da man!
I'm very glad to know that this lesson resonated with you; excellent job incorporating it into your swing! Thanks so much for your validation and support!!

For me, this has to be the best instructional video Tom has made, and he has made many great videos. I had always thought “turn back”, but now I feel like I “tilt back”. Tom, you are the best!

Tom, this is literally the greatest golf instruction video I've ever watched! You are 100% correct. I've never tilted like this and it has improved my ball striking by 1000% literally overnight. I know you know this but others don't I'm sure. The holy grail of golf swing tips! Thank you for this channel!
I'm very glad to know that this tilting lesson resonated so well with you, Tim - nice job incorporating it into your swing!! Now that you've learned how to establish and maintain your relationship with the ball, I hope you enjoy the best golf of your life in 2022! Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work! Tom
Bro your sense of humor with logic is absolutely on point. The best explanation I have heard on the most simple part you need to be doing to feel accurate.Thanks man!
Thanks Paul!! I appreciate your kind words regarding my instruction content and delivery style, and I'm very glad to know that you are benefiting from it! Tom
@@SagutoGolf Well i used this tilt and stack this weekend. I went from being a slicer to a hooker (no pun intended). and i rarley used to hook. So got to figure out what is really different and why it is hooking so much now.
I walked 9 holes yesterday and shot a 35/1+ man you have transformed my game big-time thanks Tom I'm excited about golf now more than ever,you have made it fun for me again👊
That's FANTASTIC, Justin!! I'm thrilled for your success and newfound enjoyment of this great game, and I'm also very glad to learn that you and The Rona have parted ways!! Thanks for sharing, keep up the great work, and stay crispy my friend!! Tom
@@perserverance333 Two things changed my whole game the most.First keeping my weight forward,I make ball first contact probably 99.5% of the time now,and I never thought that could happen.Second getting lateral hip motion,my swingpath like most golfers was left I could tell because my divots were way left and I could not get my swing to go to the right or heck neutral would have even been great,but after I watched one of Tom's videos about hip bump I tried it and now my swingpath is now anywhere from neutral to in to out which is what I always wanted for years but nothing worked for me, Tom is the real deal and I feel like I can't thank him enough
Thanks for explaining what the "TILT" really is. The internet is full of "stack and tilt" advice. But until this video, it has been super unclear what that meant. You taught TILT in a clear manner that it cannot be misunderstood.
I sincerely appreciate your kind words, Dennis, and I'm very glad to know that my lesson content is resonating well with you and providing clarity in the muddied, overly-complicated, oft-conflicting realm of golf instruction. This body-friendly, powerful, consistent, low-maintenance Stack and Tilt swing system is designed to provide a lifetime of great ball striking, and since it is rooted in physics, geometry, and human physiology it does not discriminate by age or ability - from kids to seniors and everything in between, and inclusive of the best players in the world. I give all credit where it is due - including Andy Plummer and Mike Bennett for analyzing and interpreting the science, and to those who preceded them with their empirical observations of the game's best ball strikers and all their subsequent chalkboard number-crunching. I just do my best to take what they have built and convey it in my own simplified teaching style (which is fully on display in the comprehensive, structured, sequential learning platform of my online school - saguto.golf ). Thanks again! Tom
I can only say thank you. This has helped me so much. I've been a 4 handicaper with a good pair of hands and all arms....never does/did well under pressure/competition. This has literally changed everything. Thanks again Senior Saguto. 👍🙂💪
That's fantastic, Matt! I'm very glad to know that this instruction has helped bring your already solid game to a new level!! Thanks very much for sharing your success!! Tom
This guy is terrific. I learned the game in the 1970s and 1980s and in the last few years I have unlearned so many things from that flawed era of teaching. GolfTEC was the beginning for me to unlearn false teachings. And this guy reinforces in a very practical way those new sound teachings.
I truly appreciate your kind words, Thom! Sadly, many misconstrued and/or misguided teachings of "conventional" instruction have relegated generations of golfers to the vast abyss of chronic frustration. We're doing our best here to clear these up one by one and put an end to this madness! By the way, have you considered 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 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.

@@SagutoGolf Saturday was the first time I had ever heard of you or watched any of your videos. I will consider that but I'm not ready to subscribe yet. Thanks
In my 20s I was a 4 handicap, had to stop playing with back problems for 18yrs. Started playing again 15 years ago now 14 handicap watched your videos tilt and grip last two rounds 76 78 unbelievable. Cheers Tom.
That's Fabulous, Barry!! I'm thrilled to know that you are recapturing some of that great stuff from yesteryear!! Sometimes all it takes is a trigger or two to bring it all back, and I'm very glad that some of my lesson content may have played a role in that!! Tom

Must say i'm loving this channel. It's something refreshing and different than the normal guff about angles and lag and all that that just confuses most people.
And so we say..... welcome to "the dark side", where the spoils of "conventional" instruction - chronic inconsistency, physical pain, and endless frustration - yield to the fruits of body-friendly enjoyment of this great game for a lifetime. 😆
I am a total beginner; Mr Tom, you are by far, the BEST teacher ever!! I can't wait to go back to the practice area and try this. For me now, it's even a miracle to hit the damn ball. I'm sure great things will happen. Your way of explaining, the passion, almost angry at others and their "ballerina" style......Amazing! Love from Barcelona, Spain!
So I stopped the vid at 3:48 got up and gave the club a swing. You see as an amateur golfer I always wondered why I took to the sport quite quickly, my hit to miss ratio was decent, as the hits would fly and carry sometimes (keyword “sometimes”). Played a decent amount of softball and hardball in my younger years. I know you just added 40-50 yds to the driver just by the practise swing in the family room. I have never generated, repeat "never", more strength, power and stability in my swing. You Sir Saguto are awesome and a genius at your craft. 🍻
It is so crucial to swinging properly. It works simultaneously with face and path. People don’t emphasize this enough. This video is great, it needs to be heavily emphasized
Unfortunately, Frankie, 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....... 😎 Thank you - I'm glad to know that this lesson resonated well wwith you!! Tom
Shot an 82 last weekend. Personal best this year. I have you Tom to thank for it. My iron striking has been so much better since adopting your principles of S&T. Now to add the tilt. Maybe break 80😄

I watch this video whenever my swing starts feeling off. Played 6 holes today after this video, and ended up hitting everything solid. Result: 5 consecutive pars and the last three GIR. (Very good for a 14,7 hcp). Tom’s tips have made all the difference, especially the tilt and lead shoulder down...I am sure I will finally get that hcp down, thanks to Tom.
That's fabulous, Jim!! We all would do well to keep some type of "reset button" swing key in our back pocket to summon up when we start leaking oil, and this is a great one for golfers who have a tendency to flatten out over the course of a round.

At age 13 I had a senior handicap of 3 and quite by accident was using my version of tilt and turn method. It was when I turned pro that my problems started. A succession of head pros enforced swing changes which over the years turned my head to mush and I too wanted to give golf up for good. It's great now to be able to hit the ball again having seen a bunch of your vids. Thank you so much for saving my sanity. It's just a little late for me as I'm now 66 years young. Golf however is back to being a pleasure instead your of a torture. Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏
After i did his simple tip of aiming shoulder to the ball... my ball striking has improved maybe 80% So a simple tip but very very helpfull. Thanks Tom. it was worth gold !
you are a tremendous communicator kid, my compliments. you deserve much of the credit for my recent improvement. Compliment your parents, they did a great job.
I sincerely appreciate your kind words, James, and I am very glad to know that my instruction content and teaching style are resonating well with you. Thanks so much for sharing your improvement, keep up the great work, and I'll be sure to pass your compliments along to mom & dad. Tom
I appreciate the kind words, Larry, and I'm very glad to know that you are benefiting from my instruction and enjoying my teaching style!! Have fun out there! Tom
i think this is my favorite shoulder tilt video from you. just recently started working on stack and tilt and could not for the life of me figure out exactly what "shoulder down" meant. the left side bend while keeping head fairly still helped me figure it out! it feels sooo weird but on video and actual ball flight it looks perfect! thank you!
I'm glad to know that this lesson clicked with you, Irvin!! Weird is good when we're trying to incorporate the necessary changes in the spirit of improvement. But as the crispiness builds in the weirdness tends to dissipate. Thanks for sharing your fantastic progress and keep up the great work!!

This is amazing--when I video myself from face on, employing left shoulder tilt at the ball, it FEELS like a big tilt but looks about like my old conventional backswing. But then when I switch the video to a 45 degree angle or from behind, suddenly I see a tilt very similar to Tom's. And incidentally, when I tilt I hit it much crispier, which is the real test. Great video!
I'm very glad to know that this tilt lesson resonated with you; excellent job incorporating it into your swing!! And yes - that 45-degree view is key to seeing the tilt.

I've been using this method since stack and tilt got popular. I smiggidy smoke my irons but 3H 3W and 1D can jam you up because maintaining that tilt with the longer clubs is crucial and easy to lean (head) towards the target at top of backswing and easy to get too upright & shoulders too level at impact with longer clubs. Gotta have spine tilted away from target at impact. I have a little different thought for my 3 least lofted clubs. Pre tilting and swinging around that tilt and the feeling of tilting for my irons which really gives me that compression of the ball feeling
Your amazing tips TILT, change my golf swing and concept within a week, my 9 iron drives from 130yds to 150 yds after TILTING👍👍👍👍👍👍 I m keep watching others episode of your TH-cam! u are marvellous 🤩
I'm 56 and only really played less that a dozen golf games in my life. Just for fun, and with guys who were better than me, but not WAY better😂. After many evenings on TH-cam and probably over 100 "SagutoGolf" videos, TOM has lit a fire! Before discovering Tom, I binge watched every other TH-cam "teaching" channel (most were very good) during the summer/in the evenings after work. *AMG (Athletic Motion Golf) is a great channel! Really it is! They literally have it down to a science. But if you don't have a foundation AND you're a little o.c.d., ....... beware.* My head was full, and I mean FULL of swing thoughts and I really had no (my) golf swing to go by. Sooooo, I've been utilizing Tom's wisdom (in our back yard/20 acres), and have NEVER had a swing this effortless, this consistent, or this instinctive. I've got five gallon buckets of old balls, and I plan to actually PLAY some next spring! Big thanks to Mr Saguto! Wish me luck.
My only question: Why wait until next spring??? If the motion has become intuitive and effortless - and is producing consistent results - then get out there and have some fun on the course!! Anyway, thanks for sharing your progress, keep up the great work, and enjoy that wonderful backyard!!! Tom
@@SagutoGolf Thanks for replying, you seem like you'd be fun to hangout with 😂 As for "why wait?".... Too many hobbies! (for now). I've been racing off-road RC cars at multiple tracks in the south with a bunch of my cohorts for about 20 years now. It's crazy fun, and even our kids have grown-up together. We're pretty tight. I play drums/sing with my buddies classic rock cover band, "Trailer Park Heroes" 😉 (also almost 20 years), but not AS much as yesteryears. I'm a long time bow hunter and it's deer season right now. It'll be too cold for golf by time I get the freezer full. But, I do plan to cut back on these things enough to ACTUALLY PLAY come spring. I have a set of Pin Hawk SL irons because I suck bad with anything over a 7 iron, but oddly enough, I'm pretty decent with my driver. ......? One question; On one of your fairway woods (3wood?) lessons (you were trying for over the fence😁), every shot was a huge draw. Was that intentional, or is it just the nature of the club? (I don't own one). Edit: sorry, that may not have been you, but the question is the same. Thanks again, I'll be signing up for the online lessons soon. God bless, from Greg, Kelly and Kaci.
LOL!! Okay - I think I understand now..... 😆 The stock shot shape for this swing system is a push draw, but not really a "huge draw" (though one can be hit on demand with a couple of minor setup tweaks, and I have done so in a couple of videos). Rock on, Trailer Park Hero, and I look forward to seeing you soon in the school!! God bless, Tom
I can’t even believe how much your instruction helps, I have been a frustrated golfer since I started playing 13 years ago and I am actually having fun now. Thank you for all your great instructional videos. 👍👍👍
I appreciate your kind words, Joe, and I am very glad to know that you are benefiting from my channel's instruction content!! Nice job incorporating the lessons into your swing! If you've not already done so, perhaps sometime soon I'll see you enrolled in the SagutoGolf online school for just $99 US/year?? 😎 Thanks again for sharing your success, keep up the great work, and Happy New Year!! Tom
Love your instruction I wish I knew of stack and tilt when I started golf I am 78 and started implementing your teaching and couldn’t be happier with the results. Keep up the great work
Hi Sharon, I truly appreciate your kind words and I am very glad to learn that my instruction has benefited your game to such an extent!! You've obviously done an excellent job taking my lesson content, incorporating it into your swing, and taking ownership of it!! Thanks for sharing your success!! Tom
I wanted to see the buy in the white shirt in the background hit a few! Seriously, in all my years of golf instruction, reading books, watching videos, lessons with multiple pros, I have never heard anyone mention this concept before. It seems so fundamental.
Hi Michael, Sadly, you are correct - 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....... With regard to the gentleman on the range, he actually signed up for my online school shortly after I was done filming the episode. We definitely need to build some tilt into his swing!! Cheers! Tom
Tom, I’m not even 5 minutes into this video, and I feel like I could cry tears of joy, man. I’ve been struggling so much on the golf course recently. I could break 80 as of two months ago with ease, but recently I have been shooting in the high 90s and ball-striking has been all over the place (in a really bad way). I’m playing all of this holiday break with family, and I know that my striking will be exponentially better. I can feel it even without a club in my hand! Thank you so much for all of your help and instruction, brother! Time to get back on the right track.
@Doc Esquire, I'm very glad to know that my channel's lesson content is resonating with you and is helping your game, and I hope that as a result you will really enjoy those rounds with your family during your holiday!!

Great video! Took it to the course and had immediate positive results. Best of all my buddy had no clue I changed my swing. Kept saying “best I’ve seen you play in awhile” I’m converted!
And so we say..... Welcome to "the dark side", James, where the spoils of "conventional" instruction - chronic inconsistency, physical pain, and endless frustration - yield to the fruits of effortless and body-friendly enjoyment of this great game for a lifetime. 😆 I'm very glad to have you on board!! Perhaps we can convert your friend one of these days!! Tom
This works join the online lessons you will save $99 it cost for the lesson in the golf balls you stop losing. I started the journey sept 9 the game is so much more fun I'm hitting further,straighter and loving it .Thanks Tom I've never enjoyed this game more!!
I truly appreciate your kind words and endorsement of my school, Garry!! I'm very glad to learn of your success through this instruction, and I am thrilled to know how much you are now enjoying this great game!! *THAT* is what this channel and my online school are really all about!! But let's be clear - your embracing the process and putting in the necessary time and effort are what have transformed your golf swing!! All I did was provide you with a road map to get there!! Thanks very much for sharing and stay crispy my friend!! Tom
I had my best game ever using the weight forward, tilt and lead arm straight tips that Tom Saguto teaches.I had 5 parrs and a birdie playing 9 holes for 2 over!. Unbelievable! Thanks Tom!!
That's awesome, Rick!!! I'm very glad to know that my instruction is resonating with you; nice job incorporating it into your swing! Keep up the great work!! TS
Thank you, Mr. Saguto. Best day at the range today after watching this video. The mental picture of maintaining my tilt throughout the swing, by imagining the wings of a plane, helped to keep my body in a great position for a more effortless swing. This kept me on an inside to out path and allowed my arms/hands to release naturally and gave me the great feeling of an effortless swing with great ball flight and distance. Every shot was solid and would have been in play out on the course. Thank you for this!
That's fantastic, Chris!! I'm glad to know that this episode resonated well with you; you've obviously done an exceptional job digesting my 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!) Thanks for sharing your success and keep up the great work!! Tom
I watched my golf swing on a video my buddy shot of me in a tournament. Wow! what a revelation!!! I could not believe that this was the swing that I have been working on for 30 years. Yes, I was a 10-12 handicap for over 10 years. Yes, sometimes i could get a good round in the high 70's but not repeatable and add in the occasional high 80's was not uncommon. Very Frustrating to be playing all these years and not scoring consistently in the 70's! Long story short... I started watching Tom's video's... a lot. He has a simple method. not too many swing thoughts. I had immediate success getting into the 70's many times this spring. then I reverted to my old chop over the top. High scores again. I stuck with the videos and I have been shooting in the 70's often. I have been in the 70's 4 out of 6 rounds recently. In summary, His method works. Stick with it. It works. down to a 9.6.

Tom...I just got Bennett and Plummer’s Red Book. Tremendous read. On page 56 they expand on tilting the lead shoulder down by saying... “there is another aspect of the spine action that must happen on the backswing: The spine must rise up out of its address tilt toward the ball. To understand this, look at it this way: If you only tilted to the left and turned your shoulders, your head would move down, changing your distance to the ball. So as you tilt to the left , you must also fully stretch your spine, from tilted forward to vertical”...Page 57 has a great pic of Snead from behind. His spine position illustrates this perfectly. Personally I’ve been trying to switch to Stack and Tilt for a few months now but I’ve still been somewhat inconsistent. I think I’ve been over-exaggerating the downturn of my lead shoulder, moving my head down, and changing my distance to the ball. After reading the above passage in the book a light bulb went off. I immediately went to the range and worked on turning my left shoulder down AND stretching/extending my spine at the same time. It felt odd to try to synchronize both movements at the same time but as I developed the sequence (turning shoulder down and stretching the spine) my ball striking got KFC Super Crispy! I feel that this stretching of the spine was my missing piece to the puzzle and that I’ve turned the corner on my swing change. Can you address this ? Thanks so much for everything you do! You are the best golf instructor on TH-cam hands down ! 1 last thing, I highly recommend this book!
@gordon ritchie, I routinely recommend the S&T book as it serves folks well as a textbook reference guide for the swing and is highly supportive of what is taught here and in the online school that you are enrolled in! I've addressed the extension of the spine in various channel videos, though sometimes it comes disguised as a "feel". For example, early in this particular video that you are commenting on I talk about keeping your head in place as you tilt. If you do that, then magically you will summon the two other body motions of turning and extending! Chapter 2 of the Golf Swing Simplified course in the SagutoGolf online school provides plenty of detail on the tilt/turn/extend motions, and it will track well with what you referenced in the book. I suggest that you review this chapter and supplement your learning there with the book as needed. I'm very glad to know you are beginning to experience the crispy contact that is a trademark of this swing! Thanks for your kind words and support, and stay crispy my friend!! Tom
Thanks so much, Josh! I sincerely appreciate your kind words and I am very glad to know that you are benefiting from my channel's instruction content!! Thanks for sharing your success, keep up the great work, and may your golf game be as happy and serene as a Bob Ross painting! 😎 Tom
@@SagutoGolf I'm not kidding. There is tons of content, but you break down the swing and all its intricacies in a great way. I don't always hit my shot crispy but I'm to the point now with help from your tutorials that I know pretty much exactly what I did wrong. Any who! Thanks again and coming man!
When I tilt I hit a good shot, when I hit a bad shot I know I didn’t tilt. I’m having a hard time breaking bad habits but at least I know what I’m doing wrong now when I hit a bad shot. You’re teaching methods are simpler to understand than anyone out there. ( Jess is pretty good too). Thanks.
Self-diagnosis and "figuring it out" are essential to an effective and lasting swing improvement, Guy. Nice work and thanks for your kind words for Jess and me!! Tom
Its interesting how now in the age of pc I have trepidation about a public comment I was once 1 hdcp played ncaa d1 collegiate golf and have been playing golf since I was 5 now 58 …. Most of what I was taught in all the past lessons was bs. This is the simplest best uncomplicated way to play golf and have more fun …. It’s a game it should be fun like darts and corn hole toss Thanks Tom for making golf fun again , your presentation style is creative quirky and cool all the same time , and it holds my attention
Watched his videos for a week....went to the driving ranger for weeks...played 18 holes and compressed the ball for the first time playing and went from 110 to 93!!! Had 9 birdie putts but had hard time putting cuz I was to excited i was on green putting for a birdie 😂😂😂 great videos!!

Soooo True Tom ! I think the body winds and unwinds along the same path. So if you incorrectly Horizontally ROTATE your left shoulder on the backswing, it will horizontally unwind by rotating on the downswing causing OTT ! However, if you turn left shoulder DOWN on backswing it will unwind UP hence solving the OTT problem !!! Need to get the left shoulder DOWN. In fact, this has really helped me, I focus on my left shoulder to start my backswing, it's the hinge of the golf swing door. The 'feeling' is LEFT SHOULDER DOWN and SWING WIDE (arms straight) feel STRETCHED. I would recommend YOGA Trikonasana pose to help train these key golf muscles. Just do it halfway if you cannot touch your toes. I also think it helps trying to keep the clubface along the Target Line as long as possible on the backswing when turning, without disconnecting arms from body. Really helpful tip, thanks again Tom ;)
I'm glad you liked this tip, @AJ. Based on your comment I think you may also enjoy this episode featuring Arnold Palmer's favorite tip!: th-cam.com/video/Jl_4vopx3xA/w-d-xo.html Keep up the great work! TS
@@SagutoGolf Spot on ! Great Video sir, this is the key thought. I will watch this everytime I go astray. So simple, it works. Thank you for sharing AP's favourite tip this is genius A ;)
I started doing the stack and tilt this past week. Mixed results, as expected, but overall, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I'm 60 and have been playing a ton of golf the past 3 years and have been looking for something like this that is simple, yet effective. Still feels weird, but will continue working on it. The driver is the issue right now, as I feel all over the place. The irons are okay for the most part. Thanks for your teachings and humor!

I may be a bit more than a little cray-cray, Mr. Seapig (really? you call me cray-cray 😂), but at the same time aside from having fun here we're also learning a powerful, consistent, low-maintenance swing properly and in a simplified, body-friendly manner!!

A-freaking-men!!!! I shot my personal best two weeks ago and broke 90 two rounds in a row by focusing on this move. Now I need to get my lower back and hips more flexible to maintain that ability.
That's awesome, Matt! I'm very glad to know that this lesson resonated with you; excellent job incorporating it into your swing and putting it into play. With regard to your lower back and hips, when properly executed this swing is very body friendly in that it does not rely on creating resistance or torque. It all begins with a proper setup which provides for a free-flowing motion. For example, having both feet flared out approximately 20 degrees, and the knees similarly angled outward are prescribed setup features of the system I teach. This orientation provides for an unrestricted 45 degrees of tilted hip turn, at which point we only need to add another 45 degrees of shoulder turn for a full 90 degrees. Add the weight-forward component and the result is a centered, stress-free motion back and through, and a very consistent, powerful swing. Since my channel's content is performing well for you, I am quite certain you will really enjoy and benefit from the comprehensive, structured, step-by-step learning platform for all the finer aspects of the swing (and the game in general) in my online school.

I tried the Tilt Golf Swing and it was pretty powerful. Shots were crisp going onto the Practice Green, but some went right, and some left. I think my arms are not close enough together and kept straight. Thank you for sharing this golf tip. Will continue to practice. Playing the course tomorrow and hope my scoring is good. Golf is a hard sport but this tip is a winner.
I appreciate that, though I do not claim exclusive rights to that steady diet of KFCrispy push-draws. You can have them too... 💪💪 That's what the online school is designed to do for you!! TS
The tilt works. I'm finding that I have much more power delivered to the ball and I am striking the ball, instead of trying to guess where the club will ground on each swing and each different club. That alone is worth the price of admission! Still have to experiment with driver and fairway woods, but I am sold on iron play. Thanks for this, Tom.
Thanks, Mick!! 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!! Cheers! Tom
Great job on this tip. Swings on tour 40 years ago also had alot of tilt. And there was more incline on their shoulders then modern players. Arnold Palmer was a great example
I'm glad to learn of your improvement, Wayne! Tilting is a move that is executed by all the best players in the game without exception, so it should work well for you once you learn how to do it properly. Speaking of which, have you considered the comprehensive, structured, sequential learning platform of my online school?

(Larry-Husband) I have been practicing having more of a tilt and played my first round since doing do after two weeks. I had the best driving day since I have been playing golf and that is over 20 years. I hit more fairways and long since incorporating your instruction.
That is AWESOME, Larry!!! All the good ones do it, yet sadly "tilt" is a critical missing component in the vast majority of "traditional" instruction. I'm very glad you found this "secret", and I'm thrilled that it worked so well for you so quickly!!! Thanks for the support in sharing your success, and keep up the great work!! Tom
Wow, why haven't I learned this in the last 20 years? I now realize I've been swinging/pulling back my arms across my body vs getting a good rotation of my torso. I love it.
Unfortunately, David, 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....... 😎 I'm very glad to know that this lesson resonated with you, and I hope it performs well when you put it into practice!

I have studied golf and videos endlessly for years and I have to say that this one tip is probably the easiest to execute with the highest rate of success in the swing. I did it today at the range with about 100 balls and I exaggerated dropping my left shoulder down, keeping the weight on my front foot, and my left arm straight and swinging on a slight in to out path. And as you said, it is effortless and magical, and I don't have to swing hard to get good distance. I agree with your philosophy that we should never swing 100%. Anyway the proof is in the pudding and I wanted to ask you why this particular move of dropping the shoulder works on every single club including the driver. I'm very interested in understanding the physics of what is going on in a swing and I'm not quite sure I know what's happening here. I found that if I drop my shoulder in an exaggerated way it created a huge back turn and even if I forgot to keep my arm straight or swing along the path. The ball continued to go straight. Can you shed some light on the physics of what is happening and why this single move works so well? I am 69 years old and I think my handicap is around 15.
Physics, geometry, and human physiology. Combine them in a complimentary manner and you'll have a powerful, consistent, low-maintenance, body-friendly swing with which to truly enjoy this great game for the rest of your life. Accomplishing this through simplified instruction is what SagutoGolf is all about. I don't have the time to get into a deep scientific discussion here, but I will say that bringing the hands inward activates the tremendous power source known as "angular momentum", and turning the shoulders in a circle back and through provides for the consistent, direct path that enables us to harness that power with a repeatable ball flight. Remember back in the day when nearly every football kicker used to approach the ball straight on? (I don't, but my dad tells me about it...) They don't do that anymore, and it's not because they're all converted soccer players. It's been proven through physics and geometry that the angular approach produces far greater force and accuracy, and as a result in the modern game field goals of 50+ yards are routine now.

More thoughts on tilt and waggle. Tom, you don't do a waggle. The waggle, for me, gives a quick visual of the arc my club will take. As every club takes a different arc, it helps me to see the angle my shoulders will rotate on. At set up, there is a natural cupping of the left wrist. Imagining the circle the club describes as the shoulders rotate and bringing the club head around allows me to naturally flatten the wrist at the top of my back swing. The waggle, as The Hogan might say, reminds me, before I turn, to keep my arms tucked in. The big thing for me with the waggle is visualizing the circle that the club describes and knowing as I take the club around my wrist will automatically flatten.
I have not issue whatsoever with a properly executed waggle as it provides a mini rehearsal of the backswing path. Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work! Tom Saguto, PGA
What a valuable piece of information expertly explained. Combine this with a sound set up and gentle grip and you are on your way to a solid round of golf with minimal swing thoughts. Unfortunately I learned this later in life but am looking forward to 2021. Many thanks!!

I love this version of Paul Rudd much better. First time out trying this tilt YESTERDAY, I shot a 90 without any range practice. I am usually a 95-100+ golfer. With some actual range practice I’m sure I can score mid 80s! Good stuff, thank you!!!

Stack and tilt old method but 1 plane swing is it
Tom, you’re a great teacher. You simplify and explain and it makes sense. You have helped my game tremendously. Other instructors often attempt to over address each subject in their lesson, making their style of teaching sometimes difficult to duplicate. You make it appear simple when we all know how difficult golf can be OR we individually make it. To many of us do not understand how to practice. Watch how Tom is teaching and follow his lead.
When you do the side bent, your head moved. How do you keep the head on the same place as you tilt.
It is not shoulder rotation?
Tom is a legend. He’s more brilliant than all of the mainstream “experts”. Listen to Tom and you will play the best golf of your life. You’re the best Tom and the coolest.

Tom, I can't count how many golf instruction videos I've watched on TH-cam. I will say that your videos have helped me more with my ball striking than any other. I'm 69 and hitting the ball better than ever. My typical score for 18 holes was high 80's to low 90's and now i'm high 70's to low 80's. My wife's game has really improved also. Keep doing these videos. Thanks

The 45 degree on perspective showing tilt toward the target is brilliant! So beat up mentally about a reverse pivot, I stopped tilting and played sh__ lacking KRISPY golf for years! Thank you...@@SagutoGolf
Damn, Tom. As a former pilot, "tilting the wing" finally clicked. I was doing what I had THOUGHT was a tilt (it was a kinda-sorta). The 45 degree angle video shots where mind-altering; you are right you never see them on TV! Keep it crispy Colonel Tom.
"Bank the wing to groove your swing", Captain!....😆
Rock on,
Major Tom
This move has finally allowed me to get perfect contact with my driver and I am hitting the ball 25 yards further than I ever have without as much effort. Thank you Tom. Your explanation is so simple
That's fantastic Matt - I'm glad this lesson is resonating well with you and your driver!
Thanks for sharing, keep up the great work, and have fun out there!!

I have literally been in a 10-year golf swing abyss that was destroying my joy for this game. No more. Incorporating this instruction not only eliminated 90% or more of my fats and thins and also effectively eliminated toe-dominant contact. Shot after shot after shot is coming out of the center of the face now. I have not felt compression like this is 10 flippin' (pun intended) years. THANK YOU!

Best lesson ever. I was told to turn shoulder, turn rib cage, turn hip 45, etc, all of these led me to sway, causing compensation during downswing. tilt left shoulder - lower left shoulder and squeeze left rib cage, fold left side - all these great stuff occur naturally. Thank you Saguto golf! You da man!
I'm very glad to know that this lesson resonated with you; excellent job incorporating it into your swing!
Thanks so much for your validation and support!!

For me, this has to be the best instructional video Tom has made, and he has made many great videos. I had always thought “turn back”, but now I feel like I “tilt back”. Tom, you are the best!

Tom, this is literally the greatest golf instruction video I've ever watched! You are 100% correct. I've never tilted like this and it has improved my ball striking by 1000% literally overnight. I know you know this but others don't I'm sure. The holy grail of golf swing tips! Thank you for this channel!
I'm very glad to know that this tilting lesson resonated so well with you, Tim - nice job incorporating it into your swing!!
Now that you've learned how to establish and maintain your relationship with the ball, I hope you enjoy the best golf of your life in 2022!
Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work!

Bro your sense of humor with logic is absolutely on point. The best explanation I have heard on the most simple part you need to be doing to feel accurate.Thanks man!
Thanks Paul!! I appreciate your kind words regarding my instruction content and delivery style, and I'm very glad to know that you are benefiting from it!

@@SagutoGolf Well i used this tilt and stack this weekend. I went from being a slicer to a hooker (no pun intended). and i rarley used to hook. So got to figure out what is really different and why it is hooking so much now.
I walked 9 holes yesterday and shot a 35/1+ man you have transformed my game big-time thanks Tom I'm excited about golf now more than ever,you have made it fun for me again👊
That's FANTASTIC, Justin!! I'm thrilled for your success and newfound enjoyment of this great game, and I'm also very glad to learn that you and The Rona have parted ways!!
Thanks for sharing, keep up the great work, and stay crispy my friend!!
Tom
@@perserverance333 Two things changed my whole game the most.First keeping my weight forward,I make ball first contact probably 99.5% of the time now,and I never thought that could happen.Second getting lateral hip motion,my swingpath like most golfers was left I could tell because my divots were way left and I could not get my swing to go to the right or heck neutral would have even been great,but after I watched one of Tom's videos about hip bump I tried it and now my swingpath is now anywhere from neutral to in to out which is what I always wanted for years but nothing worked for me, Tom is the real deal and I feel like I can't thank him enough
Thanks for explaining what the "TILT" really is. The internet is full of "stack and tilt" advice. But until this video, it has been super unclear what that meant. You taught TILT in a clear manner that it cannot be misunderstood.
I sincerely appreciate your kind words, Dennis, and I'm very glad to know that my lesson content is resonating well with you and providing clarity in the muddied, overly-complicated, oft-conflicting realm of golf instruction.
This body-friendly, powerful, consistent, low-maintenance Stack and Tilt swing system is designed to provide a lifetime of great ball striking, and since it is rooted in physics, geometry, and human physiology it does not discriminate by age or ability - from kids to seniors and everything in between, and inclusive of the best players in the world. I give all credit where it is due - including Andy Plummer and Mike Bennett for analyzing and interpreting the science, and to those who preceded them with their empirical observations of the game's best ball strikers and all their subsequent chalkboard number-crunching. I just do my best to take what they have built and convey it in my own simplified teaching style (which is fully on display in the comprehensive, structured, sequential learning platform of my online school - saguto.golf ).
Thanks again!
Tom
Single best piece of golf advice on the internet. Shot 1 under with this as my swing thought.
@More Squats - That's *AWESOME!!* Thanks for the testimonial and for sharing your success. Keep up the great work!!
Tom
I can only say thank you. This has helped me so much. I've been a 4 handicaper with a good pair of hands and all arms....never does/did well under pressure/competition. This has literally changed everything. Thanks again Senior Saguto. 👍🙂💪
That's fantastic, Matt! I'm very glad to know that this instruction has helped bring your already solid game to a new level!!
Thanks very much for sharing your success!!
Tom
This guy is terrific. I learned the game in the 1970s and 1980s and in the last few years I have unlearned so many things from that flawed era of teaching. GolfTEC was the beginning for me to unlearn false teachings. And this guy reinforces in a very practical way those new sound teachings.
I truly appreciate your kind words, Thom! Sadly, many misconstrued and/or misguided teachings of "conventional" instruction have relegated generations of golfers to the vast abyss of chronic frustration. We're doing our best here to clear these up one by one and put an end to this madness!

@@SagutoGolf Saturday was the first time I had ever heard of you or watched any of your videos. I will consider that but I'm not ready to subscribe yet. Thanks
In my 20s I was a 4 handicap, had to stop playing with back problems for 18yrs. Started playing again 15 years ago now 14 handicap watched your videos tilt and grip last two rounds 76 78 unbelievable. Cheers Tom.
That's Fabulous, Barry!! I'm thrilled to know that you are recapturing some of that great stuff from yesteryear!! Sometimes all it takes is a trigger or two to bring it all back, and I'm very glad that some of my lesson content may have played a role in that!!

the 45 degree angle you show @ 3:22 is so eye opening. Thanks Tom!
Thanks @MrOldrock1 - I'm glad that perspective resonated well with you!

Tom, thank you! I focused on that tilt and finally…crisp, consistent, fun golf! With in an hour of watching this video!

Must say i'm loving this channel. It's something refreshing and different than the normal guff about angles and lag and all that that just confuses most people.
And so we say..... welcome to "the dark side", where the spoils of "conventional" instruction - chronic inconsistency, physical pain, and endless frustration - yield to the fruits of body-friendly enjoyment of this great game for a lifetime. 😆
@@SagutoGolf I just love the style and the info, it's awesome. Subbed. Crispy KFC lol.
Awesome!
Thanks for subscribing to the Extra Crispy Buffet!!
I am a total beginner; Mr Tom, you are by far, the BEST teacher ever!! I can't wait to go back to the practice area and try this. For me now, it's even a miracle to hit the damn ball. I'm sure great things will happen. Your way of explaining, the passion, almost angry at others and their "ballerina" style......Amazing! Love from Barcelona, Spain!
So I stopped the vid at 3:48 got up and gave the club a swing. You see as an amateur golfer I always wondered why I took to the sport quite quickly, my hit to miss ratio was decent, as the hits would fly and carry sometimes (keyword “sometimes”). Played a decent amount of softball and hardball in my younger years. I know you just added 40-50 yds to the driver just by the practise swing in the family room. I have never generated, repeat "never", more strength, power and stability in my swing. You Sir Saguto are awesome and a genius at your craft. 🍻
Thank you, I am happy for you that you're experiencing the fun of a repeatable golf swing!
It is so crucial to swinging properly. It works simultaneously with face and path. People don’t emphasize this enough. This video is great, it needs to be heavily emphasized
Unfortunately, Frankie, 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....... 😎
Thank you - I'm glad to know that this lesson resonated well wwith you!!

Shot an 82 last weekend. Personal best this year. I have you Tom to thank for it. My iron striking has been so much better since adopting your principles of S&T. Now to add the tilt. Maybe break 80😄
I know that's right,Tom has me hitting crispier than ever👍
That's Awesome, Michael!! Let us know when you break through the 80 barrier. It's gonna happen!!
Keep up the great work and keep it KFC Krispy!!

Game changer for my swing! You’re the best at breaking down the fundamentals.

I watch this video whenever my swing starts feeling off. Played 6 holes today after this video, and ended up hitting everything solid. Result: 5 consecutive pars and the last three GIR. (Very good for a 14,7 hcp). Tom’s tips have made all the difference, especially the tilt and lead shoulder down...I am sure I will finally get that hcp down, thanks to Tom.
That's fabulous, Jim!! We all would do well to keep some type of "reset button" swing key in our back pocket to summon up when we start leaking oil, and this is a great one for golfers who have a tendency to flatten out over the course of a round.

This is the single most important tip ever! Wish I had been told this 40 years ago!
Me too
At age 13 I had a senior handicap of 3 and quite by accident was using my version of tilt and turn method. It was when I turned pro that my problems started. A succession of head pros enforced swing changes which over the years turned my head to mush and I too wanted to give golf up for good. It's great now to be able to hit the ball again having seen a bunch of your vids. Thank you so much for saving my sanity. It's just a little late for me as I'm now 66 years young. Golf however is back to being a pleasure instead your of a torture. Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏
After i did his simple tip of aiming shoulder to the ball... my ball striking has improved maybe 80% So a simple tip but very very helpfull. Thanks Tom. it was worth gold !
Thanks again, Guss - it really is a simple tip that delivers such crispy ball striking results!
Tom
you are a tremendous communicator kid, my compliments. you deserve much of the credit for my recent improvement. Compliment your parents, they did a great job.

i think this is my favorite shoulder tilt video from you. just recently started working on stack and tilt and could not for the life of me figure out exactly what "shoulder down" meant. the left side bend while keeping head fairly still helped me figure it out! it feels sooo weird but on video and actual ball flight it looks perfect! thank you!
I'm glad to know that this lesson clicked with you, Irvin!!
Weird is good when we're trying to incorporate the necessary changes in the spirit of improvement. But as the crispiness builds in the weirdness tends to dissipate.
Thanks for sharing your fantastic progress and keep up the great work!!

My pleasure, Keith - I'm glad to know that this lesson resonated with you!

This is amazing--when I video myself from face on, employing left shoulder tilt at the ball, it FEELS like a big tilt but looks about like my old conventional backswing. But then when I switch the video to a 45 degree angle or from behind, suddenly I see a tilt very similar to Tom's. And incidentally, when I tilt I hit it much crispier, which is the real test. Great video!
I'm very glad to know that this tilt lesson resonated with you; excellent job incorporating it into your swing!!
And yes - that 45-degree view is key to seeing the tilt.

Welcome back, Patrick!!
Cheers!

I tried the tilt, never felt so sweet hitting the ball, thanks so much Tom, you are the man!
Fantastic! I'm glad to know that this tilting lesson worked well for you, Willie!
Thanks for sharing your success with it!
I've been using this method since stack and tilt got popular. I smiggidy smoke my irons but 3H 3W and 1D can jam you up because maintaining that tilt with the longer clubs is crucial and easy to lean (head) towards the target at top of backswing and easy to get too upright & shoulders too level at impact with longer clubs. Gotta have spine tilted away from target at impact. I have a little different thought for my 3 least lofted clubs. Pre tilting and swinging around that tilt and the feeling of tilting for my irons which really gives me that compression of the ball feeling
Your amazing tips TILT, change my golf swing and concept within a week, my 9 iron drives from 130yds to 150 yds after TILTING👍👍👍👍👍👍
I m keep watching others episode of your TH-cam! u are marvellous 🤩
Thx Tom, you really transformed my swing, finally i could score 70s consistently, unbelievable! You are the best and deserve millions subs!
@W. Max - That's *AWESOME!!* I'm thrilled for your improvement and success, and I sincerely appreciate your kind words and support!!
Tom
I'm 56 and only really played less that a dozen golf games in my life. Just for fun, and with guys who were better than me, but not WAY better😂.
After many evenings on TH-cam and probably over 100 "SagutoGolf" videos, TOM has lit a fire!
Before discovering Tom, I binge watched every other TH-cam "teaching" channel (most were very good) during the summer/in the evenings after work.
*AMG (Athletic Motion Golf) is a great channel!
Really it is!
They literally have it down to a science.
But if you don't have a foundation AND you're a little o.c.d., ....... beware.*
My head was full, and I mean FULL of swing thoughts and I really had no (my) golf swing to go by.
Sooooo, I've been utilizing Tom's wisdom (in our back yard/20 acres), and have NEVER had a swing this effortless, this consistent, or this instinctive.
I've got five gallon buckets of old balls, and I plan to actually PLAY some next spring!
Big thanks to Mr Saguto!
Wish me luck.
My only question: Why wait until next spring??? If the motion has become intuitive and effortless - and is producing consistent results - then get out there and have some fun on the course!!
Anyway, thanks for sharing your progress, keep up the great work, and enjoy that wonderful backyard!!!
Tom
@@SagutoGolf
Thanks for replying, you seem like you'd be fun to hangout with 😂
As for "why wait?"....
Too many hobbies! (for now).
I've been racing off-road RC cars at multiple tracks in the south with a bunch of my cohorts for about 20 years now.
It's crazy fun, and even our kids have grown-up together. We're pretty tight.
I play drums/sing with my buddies classic rock cover band, "Trailer Park Heroes" 😉 (also almost 20 years), but not AS much as yesteryears.
I'm a long time bow hunter and it's deer season right now. It'll be too cold for golf by time I get the freezer full.
But, I do plan to cut back on these things enough to ACTUALLY PLAY come spring.
I have a set of Pin Hawk SL irons because I suck bad with anything over a 7 iron, but oddly enough, I'm pretty decent with my driver. ......?
One question;
On one of your fairway woods (3wood?) lessons (you were trying for over the fence😁), every shot was a huge draw.
Was that intentional, or is it just the nature of the club? (I don't own one).
Edit: sorry, that may not have been you, but the question is the same.
Thanks again, I'll be signing up for the online lessons soon.
God bless, from
Greg, Kelly and Kaci.
LOL!! Okay - I think I understand now..... 😆
The stock shot shape for this swing system is a push draw, but not really a "huge draw" (though one can be hit on demand with a couple of minor setup tweaks, and I have done so in a couple of videos).
Rock on, Trailer Park Hero, and I look forward to seeing you soon in the school!!
God bless,
Tom
I can’t even believe how much your instruction helps, I have been a frustrated golfer since I started playing 13 years ago and I am actually having fun now. Thank you for all your great instructional videos. 👍👍👍

I wanted to see the buy in the white shirt in the background hit a few! Seriously, in all my years of golf instruction, reading books, watching videos, lessons with multiple pros, I have never heard anyone mention this concept before. It seems so fundamental.
Hi Michael,
Sadly, you are correct - 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.......
With regard to the gentleman on the range, he actually signed up for my online school shortly after I was done filming the episode. We definitely need to build some tilt into his swing!!
Cheers!

My golf is all over the place at the moment but these simple disciplines from Tom are bringing it back in line . Thanks Tom
Tom, I’m not even 5 minutes into this video, and I feel like I could cry tears of joy, man. I’ve been struggling so much on the golf course recently. I could break 80 as of two months ago with ease, but recently I have been shooting in the high 90s and ball-striking has been all over the place (in a really bad way). I’m playing all of this holiday break with family, and I know that my striking will be exponentially better. I can feel it even without a club in my hand! Thank you so much for all of your help and instruction, brother! Time to get back on the right track.

Thanks for this great lesson, Tom! Amazingly simple, yet no other golf instructors explain the way you do! Congrats!
Thank you Eduardo, I appreciate your kind words!
I had my best game ever using the weight forward, tilt and lead arm straight
tips that Tom Saguto teaches.I had 5 parrs and a birdie playing 9 holes for 2 over!. Unbelievable! Thanks Tom!!
That's awesome, Rick!!! I'm very glad to know that my instruction is resonating with you; nice job incorporating it into your swing!
Keep up the great work!!
TS
Thank you, Mr. Saguto. Best day at the range today after watching this video. The mental picture of maintaining my tilt throughout the swing, by imagining the wings of a plane, helped to keep my body in a great position for a more effortless swing. This kept me on an inside to out path and allowed my arms/hands to release naturally and gave me the great feeling of an effortless swing with great ball flight and distance. Every shot was solid and would have been in play out on the course. Thank you for this!
That's fantastic, Chris!! I'm glad to know that this episode resonated well with you; you've obviously done an exceptional job digesting my 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!)
Thanks for sharing your success and keep up the great work!!
Tom
I watched my golf swing on a video my buddy shot of me in a tournament. Wow! what a revelation!!! I could not believe that this was the swing that I have been working on for 30 years. Yes, I was a 10-12 handicap for over 10 years. Yes, sometimes i could get a good round in the high 70's but not repeatable and add in the occasional high 80's was not uncommon. Very
Frustrating to be playing all these years and not scoring consistently in the 70's! Long story short... I started watching Tom's video's... a lot. He has a simple method. not too many swing thoughts. I had immediate success getting into the 70's many times this spring. then I reverted to my old chop over the top. High scores again. I stuck with the videos and I have been shooting in the 70's often. I have been in the 70's 4 out of 6 rounds recently. In summary, His method works. Stick with it. It works. down to a 9.6. Now if I could putt and chip! Thanks Tom.
Wow - that's some great stuff, Alex!! I truly appreciate your glowing endorsement of my channel's instruction content and the swing method I teach, and I am very glad to know that it has benefited your game to such an extent!!

Tom to Tom: correct, best tip ever, transformed my ball stroking virtually in one range session. Thanks!
Fantastic - I'm very glad to know that this tilting lesson resonated so well with you!!

Tom
@@SagutoGolf Haha, the joy was short lived when I took it to the course, every shot over the top and thin. Not pretty
Tom...I just got Bennett and Plummer’s Red Book. Tremendous read.
On page 56 they expand on tilting the lead shoulder down by saying...
“there is another aspect of the spine action that must happen on the backswing: The spine must rise up out of its address tilt toward the ball. To understand this, look at it this way: If you only tilted to the left and turned your shoulders, your head would move down, changing your distance to the ball. So as you tilt to the left , you must also fully stretch your spine, from tilted forward to vertical”...Page 57 has a great pic of Snead from behind. His spine position illustrates this perfectly.
Personally I’ve been trying to switch to Stack and Tilt for a few months now but I’ve still been somewhat inconsistent. I think I’ve been over-exaggerating the downturn of my lead shoulder, moving my head down, and changing my distance to the ball.
After reading the above passage in the book a light bulb went off. I immediately went to the range and worked on turning my left shoulder down AND stretching/extending my spine at the same time.
It felt odd to try to synchronize both movements at the same time but as I developed the sequence (turning shoulder down and stretching the spine) my ball striking got KFC Super Crispy!
I feel that this stretching of the spine was my missing piece to the puzzle and that I’ve turned the corner on my swing change.
Can you address this ?
Thanks so much for everything you do! You are the best golf instructor on TH-cam hands down !
1 last thing, I highly recommend this book!
@gordon ritchie,
I routinely recommend the S&T book as it serves folks well as a textbook reference guide for the swing and is highly supportive of what is taught here and in the online school that you are enrolled in!
I've addressed the extension of the spine in various channel videos, though sometimes it comes disguised as a "feel". For example, early in this particular video that you are commenting on I talk about keeping your head in place as you tilt. If you do that, then magically you will summon the two other body motions of turning and extending!
Chapter 2 of the Golf Swing Simplified course in the SagutoGolf online school provides plenty of detail on the tilt/turn/extend motions, and it will track well with what you referenced in the book. I suggest that you review this chapter and supplement your learning there with the book as needed.
I'm very glad to know you are beginning to experience the crispy contact that is a trademark of this swing!
Thanks for your kind words and support, and stay crispy my friend!!
Tom
@@SagutoGolf Thanks so much! I’ll go back to the online school video that addresses this. Keep it Crispy !

@@SagutoGolf I'm not kidding. There is tons of content, but you break down the swing and all its intricacies in a great way.
I don't always hit my shot crispy but I'm to the point now with help from your tutorials that I know pretty much exactly what I did wrong. Any who! Thanks again and coming man!
When I tilt I hit a good shot, when I hit a bad shot I know I didn’t tilt.
I’m having a hard time breaking bad habits but at least I know what I’m doing wrong now when I hit a bad shot.
You’re teaching methods are simpler to understand than anyone out there. ( Jess is pretty good too).
Thanks.
Self-diagnosis and "figuring it out" are essential to an effective and lasting swing improvement, Guy. Nice work and thanks for your kind words for Jess and me!!
Tom
Me too.
Its interesting how now in the age of pc I have trepidation about a public comment
I was once 1 hdcp played ncaa d1 collegiate golf and have been playing golf since I was 5 now 58 …. Most of what I was taught in all the past lessons was bs. This is the simplest best uncomplicated way to play golf and have more fun …. It’s a game it should be fun like darts and corn hole toss
Thanks Tom for making golf fun again , your presentation style is creative quirky and cool all the same time , and it holds my attention
Watched his videos for a week....went to the driving ranger for weeks...played 18 holes and compressed the ball for the first time playing and went from 110 to 93!!! Had 9 birdie putts but had hard time putting cuz I was to excited i was on green putting for a birdie 😂😂😂 great videos!!
Thank you for assume tip.every time I watch your tips my game improves!!!

Soooo True Tom !
I think the body winds and unwinds along the same path. So if you incorrectly Horizontally ROTATE your left shoulder on the backswing, it will horizontally unwind by rotating on the downswing causing OTT ! However, if you turn left shoulder DOWN on backswing it will unwind UP hence solving the OTT problem !!!
Need to get the left shoulder DOWN. In fact, this has really helped me, I focus on my left shoulder to start my backswing, it's the hinge of the golf swing door. The 'feeling' is LEFT SHOULDER DOWN and SWING WIDE (arms straight) feel STRETCHED.
I would recommend YOGA Trikonasana pose to help train these key golf muscles. Just do it halfway if you cannot touch your toes.
I also think it helps trying to keep the clubface along the Target Line as long as possible on the backswing when turning, without disconnecting arms from body.
Really helpful tip, thanks again Tom ;)
I'm glad you liked this tip, @AJ. Based on your comment I think you may also enjoy this episode featuring Arnold Palmer's favorite tip!: th-cam.com/video/Jl_4vopx3xA/w-d-xo.html

I started doing the stack and tilt this past week. Mixed results, as expected, but overall, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I'm 60 and have been playing a ton of golf the past 3 years and have been looking for something like this that is simple, yet effective. Still feels weird, but will continue working on it. The driver is the issue right now, as I feel all over the place. The irons are okay for the most part. Thanks for your teachings and humor!

A-freaking-men!!!! I shot my personal best two weeks ago and broke 90 two rounds in a row by focusing on this move. Now I need to get my lower back and hips more flexible to maintain that ability.
That's awesome, Matt! I'm very glad to know that this lesson resonated with you; excellent job incorporating it into your swing and putting it into play.
With regard to your lower back and hips, when properly executed this swing is very body friendly in that it does not rely on creating resistance or torque. It all begins with a proper setup which provides for a free-flowing motion. For example, having both feet flared out approximately 20 degrees, and the knees similarly angled outward are prescribed setup features of the system I teach. This orientation provides for an unrestricted 45 degrees of tilted hip turn, at which point we only need to add another 45 degrees of shoulder turn for a full 90 degrees. Add the weight-forward component and the result is a centered, stress-free motion back and through, and a very consistent, powerful swing.

I tried the Tilt Golf Swing and it was pretty powerful. Shots were crisp going onto the Practice Green, but some went right, and some left. I think my arms are not close enough together and kept straight. Thank you for sharing this golf tip. Will continue to practice. Playing the course tomorrow and hope my scoring is good. Golf is a hard sport but this tip is a winner.
Damn I love watching Tom on the range!! I can watch all day!! Push-Draw.. Crispy!!!! Repeat!!!!
I appreciate that, though I do not claim exclusive rights to that steady diet of KFCrispy push-draws. You can have them too... 💪💪
That's what the online school is designed to do for you!!
TS
The tilt works. I'm finding that I have much more power delivered to the ball and I am striking the ball, instead of trying to guess where the club will ground on each swing and each different club. That alone is worth the price of admission!
Still have to experiment with driver and fairway woods, but I am sold on iron play. Thanks for this, Tom.
Mr Seguto you are a Master teacher, and you make things fun and easy to comprehend. Love the sense of humor and tremendous knowledge of the game.
Thanks, Mick!! 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!!

Great job on this tip. Swings on tour 40 years ago also had alot of tilt. And there was more incline on their shoulders then modern players. Arnold Palmer was a great example
Thank you, can't wait to try out the tilt, I also changed my grip from week to strong, huge difference
I'm glad to learn of your improvement, Wayne! Tilting is a move that is executed by all the best players in the game without exception, so it should work well for you once you learn how to do it properly.

(Larry-Husband) I have been practicing having more of a tilt and played my first round since doing do after two weeks. I had the best driving day since I have been playing golf and that is over 20 years. I hit more fairways and long since incorporating your instruction.
That is AWESOME, Larry!!!

I have studied golf and videos endlessly for years and I have to say that this one tip is probably the easiest to execute with the highest rate of success in the swing. I did it today at the range with about 100 balls and I exaggerated dropping my left shoulder down, keeping the weight on my front foot, and my left arm straight and swinging on a slight in to out path. And as you said, it is effortless and magical, and I don't have to swing hard to get good distance. I agree with your philosophy that we should never swing 100%. Anyway the proof is in the pudding and I wanted to ask you why this particular move of dropping the shoulder works on every single club including the driver. I'm very interested in understanding the physics of what is going on in a swing and I'm not quite sure I know what's happening here. I found that if I drop my shoulder in an exaggerated way it created a huge back turn and even if I forgot to keep my arm straight or swing along the path. The ball continued to go straight. Can you shed some light on the physics of what is happening and why this single move works so well? I am 69 years old and I think my handicap is around 15.
Physics, geometry, and human physiology. Combine them in a complimentary manner and you'll have a powerful, consistent, low-maintenance, body-friendly swing with which to truly enjoy this great game for the rest of your life. Accomplishing this through simplified instruction is what SagutoGolf is all about. I don't have the time to get into a deep scientific discussion here, but I will say that bringing the hands inward activates the tremendous power source known as "angular momentum", and turning the shoulders in a circle back and through provides for the consistent, direct path that enables us to harness that power with a repeatable ball flight. Remember back in the day when nearly every football kicker used to approach the ball straight on? (I don't, but my dad tells me about it...) They don't do that anymore, and it's not because they're all converted soccer players. It's been proven through physics and geometry that the angular approach produces far greater force and accuracy, and as a result in the modern game field goals of 50+ yards are routine now.

More thoughts on tilt and waggle. Tom, you don't do a waggle. The waggle, for me, gives a quick visual of the arc my club will take. As every club takes a different arc, it helps me to see the angle my shoulders will rotate on. At set up, there is a natural cupping of the left wrist. Imagining the circle the club describes as the shoulders rotate and bringing the club head around allows me to naturally flatten the wrist at the top of my back swing. The waggle, as The Hogan might say, reminds me, before I turn, to keep my arms tucked in. The big thing for me with the waggle is visualizing the circle that the club describes and knowing as I take the club around my wrist will automatically flatten.
I have not issue whatsoever with a properly executed waggle as it provides a mini rehearsal of the backswing path.
Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work!

That old TPX just brought back so many memories! Haha
That's an OG bat!
Love the tips bro. Thanks!
LOL! A classic from my old high school baseball days!
What a valuable piece of information expertly explained. Combine this with a sound set up and gentle grip and you are on your way to a solid round of golf with minimal swing thoughts. Unfortunately I learned this later in life but am looking forward to 2021. Many thanks!!
@aviatorAW - I'm very glad to know that this lesson video resonated well with you!! And by the way, it's never too late to learn - you've got a great 2021 season ahead of you!!
Cheers!

I love this version of Paul Rudd much better.
First time out trying this tilt YESTERDAY, I shot a 90 without any range practice. I am usually a 95-100+ golfer. With some actual range practice I’m sure I can score mid 80s!
Good stuff, thank you!!!
That's fantastic, Jon!! Though I'm betting we can get you there a lot quicker in the SagutoGolf online school for just $10 US/month or $99/year. Why not check it out?: saguto.golf/p/golf-swing-simplified-tom-saguto-pga
