Yeah...no. Let's leave the grunting to those tennis players. This is golf....😆

I'm glad you enjoyed this analysis, Craig, and I hope some of the key takeaways are helpful to you! Until you get that knee figured out, I would just focused on staying as centered as you can while still allowing your body to be engaged in the motion as much as you comfortably can. One suggestion might be to set up with a somewhat straightened trail leg to get your hips inclined and partially rotated. Then just swing your shoulders on their tilted angle while keeping your head in place. Steve Elkington preset his hips and straightened his trail leg in his setup when he was learning S&T...and he even played tour events doing that. So perhaps you could make something like that work on a temporary basis until your lead knee is repaired and ready for action. I hope that helps! Tom

I simply "allow" the wrist to work without forcing anything. If we pre-establish the connections properly in the setup and have a foundational base that facilitates a full centered turn without restriction, then once we've ingrained the correct actions through sequential drilling and repetition we can entrust the motion to the big muscles and allow the arms, wrists, hands, and club to simply go along for the ride and respond accordingly as if on autopilot. The power accumulators - including the proper arm, wrist, and hand action - will then naturally load and fire with no contrived manipulations or precise timing necessary, thereby returning the face to the position pre-established at address. It's called "giving up control to gain control", and it's the formula for consistently blissful ball striking and seemingly effortless power. While there are certainly videos on my channel that address this topic, a better option would be my FREE mini course “The Top 3 Things You Need to Be a Great Ball Striker”: go.saguto.golf/ It's a great way to gain a fundamental understanding of this system as well as an introduction to the instruction style that has thousands of men and women from across the globe - including many accomplished, low-handicap, competitive players and spanning all age ranges from junior to super-senior - enjoying the best golf of their lives: saguto.golf/p/sagutogolfreviews Tom

We establish the clubface angle at address by setting the face square to the target line at the "zero point", which is in line with the lead shoulder/armpit from a face-on view. From there we move our hands back to the stock setup position - even with the inside of the lead thigh - and simply place the clubface behind the ball without any manipulations. If the ball position is behind the hands - as it typically is - then this will result in the face naturally opening a slight amount without any twisting or turning of the hands, thereby setting us up for the stock push-draw ball flight. If the ball position is ahead of the hands - for example, if we are using this swing system's Shot Shaping Grid to set up for a pull-fade - then the face would be closed to the target line by a slight amount, again - without any manipulations. Deterring you from your desired grip is not the point here. A strong grip - when deployed as an anti-slice band-aid - is precisely that: a patch for a deficiency or flaw somewhere upstream in the swing motion that the teacher or golfer can't or won't fix. If, on the other hand - so to speak 😎 - it is simply a matter of personal preference, then we should endeavor to remain keenly aware of our ball flight as it is quite adept at telling us if our grip is starting to leak too much to the strong side. Anyway, thanks for visiting and keep up the great playing! Tom

It's not something you want to see. Let's put TP Tommy to rest.....

@@SagutoGolf oh for crying out loud I guess I'll have to streak across the range in a Saguto hat then! Release the tapes painted across my rear..

😆😆😅

@@SagutoGolf man you've given me no choice!...Meantime I'm happy to carry the ghost of TP Tommy. But he's all yours once you hit your later 40s. I think you'll be looking for him right about then 😆...but don't worry you can be like that verizon guy who just switched to sprint like nothing ever happened 😂... and since this is the internet I should emphasize these comments are all with love and respect. One plane Tommy is second to none!

The swing is a tilted circle (or arc, if we wish to get technical), the circumference of which extends from the ball to above and behind our shoulders. As such, if we are going to remain on that circle/arc it requires the hands and club to take a slightly inward path - not a disconnected handsy snatch or roll to the inside - just a natural tracing of the outer rim or circumference. The feeling of "straight back" can easily pull the golfer off of that preestablished geometry right from the start, and from there precise compensatory actions are necessary if there is any hope of returning the clubface to the ball on the proper path time after time. So rather than have to rely on precisely "dropping it in the slot" the exact amount each and every swing, why not just put in the slot from the start and just keep it there?! Yeah - that serves everyone well, including beginners!

👍👍

Absolutely, George, if it serves you well! Plenty of top players with lead eye dominance do the same. Tom

Hi Sam, No need for me to do a video on that. Part of our golf swing evolution is about self-discovery, and you have discovered something that serves you well. As such, stick with it and keep up the great work!! Tom

@@SagutoGolf that's why everyone loves you and your videos, thank you tom!

Haven't we danced this dance enough times? “Truth" is defined as that which conforms to reality, and this swing system conforms to the unchanging realities of Physics, Geometry, and data from the game’s best golf ball strikers. Resistance is thusly futile..... 😎

Might? C'mon Stephen - why insult my oft-proven insanity like that?......😎

Thanks! The lesson series on this "trail arm magic" has helped countless golfers across the globe to overcome a wide variety of swing issues and experience great ball striking.

LOL!! I'm glad to know that you're enjoying my "lesson and a show" instruction style, Nicky! Just know that despite the entertainment aspect, everything taught here from a golf swing perspective is consistent with a swing 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, perhaps snarf down a buttery biscuit, and then get to work! 😎 Tom

Always the counter-culturist, I suppose I be.... 😆 I'm glad the grip pressure tip worked well for you. Thanks for sharing that!! Tom

Hi John, The notion of a “weight” shift in the golf swing has led many an amateur golfer into the vast abyss of chronic inconsistency and frustration. In fact, here is Jack Nicklaus on weight shift: "I don't believe in a lateral shift," says Nicklaus. "Of course not. I believe in staying on the ball." Asked what he thinks about teachers who advocate a weight shift, he answers, "They don't know how to play." Now, there is certainly an allowance for a transfer of “pressure” into the trail side. After all, we are moving the mass of the arms and club back and around us during the takeaway and backswing. Some like to sense the dynamic pressure shifts; others prefer the feel of a gradual increasing of weight load into the lead leg from the start. However, in either scenario the key here is that we do not allow our mass - and thereby our swing center and low point - to drift back at any point. In the swing I teach we start with our weight forward (generally 55/45 for the short and mid irons, 60/40 for the longer clubs), gradually add more forward weight load into the transition (70/30), 80/20 halfway down, 90/10 impact, and 95/5 finish. There's no "weight shift"; instead, it's just a gradually increasing load onto the lead side. And the result is a centered, low-maintenance, body-friendly, consistent, and tremendously powerful motion. Thanks for sharing your experience!
