2 Easy Steps to Get a PERFECT Backswing

This tip is an oldie but a goody. Tom, this really unlocked S&T for me. And I haven’t seen this explained properly by anyone involved with S&T, including Plummer & Bennett.

I feel like I start all neutral in backswing but when coming down it turns into a super strong set up with closed club head.

Is my right hand supposed to feel the weight of the club like support. Or on the back of the top of the swing should it feel like a feather?

Very simple but effective. Helped me get my swing back after losing it for a while. Thanks Tom!!

Thankssssssss Saguto. I finally have something to actually practice

This is by far the easiest back swing instructions on you tube simple to follow and extremely effective

Thanks Tom. Great reminder to help me keep my body connected to my arms

I think u just unlocked my brain

Hi Tom, if I tilt, turn, and extend, do I need to worry about my forearm rotation? That is, if the top of my backswing looks like address, do I have to think about this?

Great video will be implementing this . Checking these exact angles of the body and iron club in the mirror is a good idea , I recon I’m onto the correct way of things of how this god given is supposed to be played , this whole stack n tilt has a lot of logic to it . This whole weight shift is a headache and miss leading that’s where I and the masses are going whole , , Ali if the percentages of a dynamic manoeuvre weather the good swing or a kick of a ball , I play football that’s my game but to do that successfully with control your weight is atleast 70 percent or even 95 percent on the non kicking foot 🦶
Generally I couldn’t agree more was listening to you on another video all this sitting on a toilet wth bum out very uncomfortable with unnatural back while taking a swing is totally ridiculous . I was never comfortable with that and the myth of the weight shift . The coaches that say about the weight are messing peeps up the weight shift is natural because your standing up , doesn’t necessarily have to be said to anyone at this beginners amateur rookie stage of proceedings 👌👍🙏

Tom at the very top of your backswing are you bowing the lead wrist at all before starting your downswing?

Tnx Tom!!!

I like you dude! You make it simple!

Awesome guidance Tom! Now to put it into effect!

“…. It is a grand illusion if u think a lot going on …” 😆 😂

Excellent tips for the backswing. Great job on simplifying and explaining step by step. Best instruction I have seen. Keep up the creative, original lessons based on history’s best players.👍👍

5 years of not being able to strike a golf ball. This lesson solved my problems. Un fracking believable

Nice one Tom. Thank you

Thanks Tom!

Thanks Tom I now have the best ball strike of my life

Absolutely love the simplicity of the the method. In your instruction there are fewer things to coordinate and time during the swing. Incredibly important to keep the arms and body connected to consistency and for power. Now my arms and body work in unison on the downswing rather than trying to fire my hips as the arms trail which leads to all kinds of inconsistent shots. Not only am I hitting it 10% farther but also much higher and straighter. My only flaw now is getting to quick in my transition which happens when I am under pressure. Any tips on that?

your lessons are so simple and effective. I been doing you this idea you gave me keep arms in next to your body and IT DOES HELP. Helps with my consistency and power! however, you were also right, that it would take practice until it feels normal. I need to do more for it to be 100% natural. I am too much arms now. Thanks for making golf simple and fun!

I have to say that this could be your best kept secret video. That right arm rotation is a mystery to most, myself included. These 2 steps is really all you need in the backswing because the arms rotate the body and puts you in the right positions without thinking about anything else. I found when I focus on just turning the shoulders it becomes my primary thought and I lose control of where my arms and club head is and over rotate my shoulders back through. I would add as a part 2 to do the baseball drill where you swing a bat around your body and see how the right arm rotates, then lower it as if the ball was on the ground. I love how you are keeping it simple, great job with this channel!

Tool me 30 years to discover the importance of the right arm folding!

Completely fixed my issue. My take away was too inside. I couldn't figure out the transition from when the club is parallel to the ground and at the top of the swing. I saw a huge change at the range! Can't wait to try it on the course.Thanks Tom!

Thank you for the Videos I have added this video to my channel for comparison to my playlist before swing change 🏌️‍♂️🏌️‍♂️🏌️‍♂️

Hey Tom....I have to say that following your tips completely changed my game....I adopted your swing method and I am now able to consistently hit the ball far and straight....I am a weekend golfer with a very high handicap but with this new swing... I'll surely play much better...the only time I shank is when I revert back to my old ways. You are by far the best instructor on YT. Thanks Brother

I have started watching your videos, but I find it difficult watching were you tend to bend down to look into the camera instead of just adjusting the camera with the aperture of the lens and standing further away and just use a microphone on your body,or use a second camera from a different angle. I do enjoy the information you put out thanks !

What’s in your pockets?

Its not just your arms. Your hips and shoulders are also moving.

the fucking mowing every time. great content

Ok day 3 and getting better. I am playing 18 tomorrow so excited to see how this works.

Following in the footsteps of great golf teachers like josh zander best wishes Joe

PGA Member? You might want to try and get certified as a PGA Teaching Pro - Kook. You need more spine extension at the top to complete your back swing. Power Sap if you don't . You can reconnect elbow in down swing but your are limiting a completed turn.

Was practicing that today., then saw ur Video .
The Hat?? ., has to be a Bobby Pin Holdin that On!! 😂
Keep up the Great Videos and Explanations! 👍

I love the hats !! Got my attention and i have learned some stuff watching you. Keep it up !!

no. that's not it. the grip pressure activate the muscles in the left side of the right forearm; which causes the right arm to flex. it's an all one movement.

Thank you I have a new outlook on golf that not rotating on the takeaway is key and the right forearm motion is something I have been searching for 20 no 30 years your lessons are extraordinary thank you

Love this one, study time. Should be easy, but still difficult to master. Oh and I have always had a problem rolling the club away opening the face, but I don’t slice, hook is issue. So fighting 2 problems.

THE "GRAND ILLUSION" IS OVER... I LIVE IN REALITY TODAY... DO YOU HAVE A TOM SAGUTO "BODY FRIENDLY GOLF" BADGE" ???

Where do you teach?

GREAT VIDEO... BUT, FOR SOME REASON YOU TOOK THE INTRO OUT... THAT IS A SIGNATURE INTRO... IF YOU WEAR THE HAT, THEN YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE INTRO... ONE QUESTION MR. TOM SAGUTO... HOW DO YOU KEEP THAT THE KANGOL ON YOUR HEAD??? GREAT TEACHING... THE TEACHING IS GREAT... YOU SHOULD HAVE A MILLION VIEWS... ONE OF THE BEST INSTRUCTORS.

Tom, I played today for the first time after watching your video. Oh my. Two birdies. I hit some awesome shots. I’ve always felt like I was blocking myself, because I WAS! This “throw your right arm at the ball” concept has the club in front of me. MUCH more free, on plane swing. Where do you teach?? I’d love to come get a lesson. I’m in AZ. You don’t look like you’re in the desert!

It's simply not possible to take anyone seriously who can't even put a hat on properly.
