I recently joined the Saguto golf family and I am excited about my future golf prospects. I am totally all in with respect to learning the setup using your step by step approach. I am taking the elements one at a time in the order that you have presented them. That means grip, stance, ball position, etc. I have played golf for many years and have experienced some success, however, once I get it going, for whatever reason, I will lose my swing and its all downhill from there. The question I have is simple, when I have mastered the setup can I send videos of that sequence to you for your evaluation? I believe what you are teaching, unless you have a solid foundation it will be difficult if not impossible to play good golf. The first key for me will be a solid setup. Thanks. I will await your response.

Welcome to the school and this great forum community, @mrmac796!!
You appear to be going about your transition very intelligently and in a manner consistent with what I had envisioned when I developed this structured, sequential learning program. In this regard, allow me to further validate your approach with what I've been telling new members as well as those golfers who choose to skip the basics, go straight into the swing, and then wonder why this system is not working:
"Regardless of a member's skill level, this swing necessitates a complete reboot for someone transitioning from a shift & lift swing (which is typically the case), and therefore it is imperative that one take sufficient time to ensure that the fundamental components are mastered. From the ground up there is nothing superfluous in the Stack & Tilt swing - in other words, everything with a purpose, and a purpose for everything. (For example, contrary to shift & lift where you may be taught to keep your trail foot perpendicular to the target line as a means of "creating resistance" in your trail side, in S&T we flare both feet out 10-20 degrees in order to facilitate a free flowing, inclined hip and shoulder turn.) I cannot emphasize this enough, as frustrations predominantly occur when students jump ahead in the curriculum without properly dedicating themselves to the foundational base upon which our consistently repeatable, powerful, low maintenance swing must be built."
In answer to your question - Absolutely! You are free to submit videos for a V1 Analysis Lesson at any time, and I do recommend scheduling one on a quarterly basis as it will work wonders in terms of keeping things humming along nicely and also for pinpointing and resolving any issues that might arise. Doing one to lock in the setup is a fantastic idea and will pay dividends well beyond the small "investment", as it will confirm that a rock solid foundation has been set and thereby enable you to move seamlessly and confidently into the swing.
The process involves downloading the free V1 app and then submitting two videos to me through the app - one down-the-line (captured from your stance line, not the target line) and the other face-on. You'll find more information about the V1 Analysis halfway down this page on the Saguto.Golf site.
