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.

So I tried Hogan's grip. First I bought his 5 lessons book and then searched youtube for video examples of his grip and found your vid. Good job explaining it, way better than most on youtube. After practicing his grip at home for a few days I took it to the course yesterday. I did not find that it caused me to slice or fade, in fact I was hitting mostly straight shots and some pulls with my irons. Pulling I think came from me being sloppy with my right elbow, not keeping it tucked. When I started paying attention to that I got straight shots again. A couple of fades with my driver. I always thought that my right hand and right side took over my swing so maybe this will be the grip for me and I will not have to worry too much about over powering with my right hand. What did surprise me about the grip was the increased amount of center hits I had. My normal strike with my irons is the toe side of center. I had way more center hits than normal, may be also the reason for the straight ball. I am a 71 year old male golfer and my swing speed with my irons is about 60 mph, so very nice to have center hits with my slow swing speed.

You're absolutely right about everything here... "copying" the Hogan grip to the tee changes the entire swing! I've been afflicted with a low duck-hook for many years and went to the range to work on one thing.... the grip. By copying Hogan, I had a natural, unforced wrist hinge, and right elbow very close to the body. Also I kept the right pointer and thumb off the grip which is HUGE in not closing the club face too soon which caused my low screamers. This video confirmed all of my theories and reinforced what I've been working on. Thanks!

I’m so glad I stumbled onto this. Changed my grip because of you and it’s changed my game! Thank you God Bless

[bikertod]

This was excellent Tom, I learn something new every time I watch your teaching video’s, many thanks for helping us out!

I always play with this grip, I hit the ball so much further and more consistent with releasing the club and it just makes the golf swing so much easier

[gcoffey]

THIS!!! Spent a minute to find this one in my hidtory. You sir a a GENIUS. I jyst played, dpent last few days working on this. FLUSH... effortless distance, crisp striking. Turns out, I might lijeva higher compression ball after all. My only concern today way ball first. Amazing results, thank you. +7/+5... 83 in terrible conditions. Keeping hands forward was the best. Haven't hit the ball that crisp and flush with that great od compression, well, in maybe never.

Hands forward, it's physics... so many good stories from today!!!

Best

I basically use a modified Hogan grip much like yours.. glad to hear someone giving a clear explanation on Hogan's grip.

[abcf]

Just what I was looking for. Thank you. Watching your swing in slo mo, I'd say Hogan's swing was even flatter. On the backswing, his club is dissecting his bicep/tricep. I'm going to give his swing a try at the range. I've done some swinging in the house and it's a completely different feel than my normal swing. So much more compact.
Due to left shoulder pain, I can't quite keep my left arm as perfectly straight but I'm really feeling I'm coming into the ball ftom the inside. And that's something I've always struggled with. My main swing thought is keeping my right elbow glued into my right side.

Thank you again for your content Ben Hogan.He has been my inspiration to get my golf game
back after my ankle replacement surgery 3.25years after the operatoon!!!

I relly think you nailed the trail arm and hand position spot on!!!

[josephhaas]

It was because of you breaking down Ben Hogan’s technique that I’ve stopped hooking for the most part. Thank you!

[mbsnetwork]

Tom, I appreciate all your videos. I have read hogans boook many times and you explain the concepts better than anyone else out there.

[davepalmatier]

I too suffer from the hooks and low flight. I take this video seriously and always take Hogan and his fundamentals seriously.. I am looking to hit the ball higher and maintain a good arm/body connection.. Hogan was left handed which most of us are not. He also had his legs damaged in that car accident which weakened his lower body making it come in late. But, he managed to focus his energy in the right place. Great video.

[theSpaghettiKid]

Excellent analysis Tom. Explained with sage-like wisdom.

[MegaTubescreamer]

a functional method of consistent clubface control, , thanks for
this tom, really helpful and enjoyable lesson again, !
👍😊

[kelownagillis]

Great Hogan explanation Tom, and yes I am a Hogan model swinger. Grip position with minor adjustments makes a huge difference to ball flight and accuracy. Good job

[lbrito]

Wow!!! This really helped me hit the ball like never before. I knew my grip was one of the problems I just didn’t know how much. Thank you.

[thomasfraser]

Absolutely the best explanation and showing of Hogan grip ever given free on You Tube. I hope your generosity brings you a lot of payed subscribers. I also agree 100 percent on your personal grip that Arnold Palmer taught Cheers
