Backswing - the old arm lifting move...

@desmondmoss thank you for the tip - tried it today and it felt realy good!

@Frank Stuff - Welcome to the school!! I love your enthusiasm and eagerness to learn! Match that with dedication, good work ethic, and a commitment to the process, and you will be successful!!

With regard to your video, please understand that I must do my best to refrain from engaging in personal swing analyses here in the Forum - whether it be video or still photo sequences - as it conflicts with the V1 services I offer. However, this does not preclude other members from commenting on such uploads, as @desmondmoss has done so well here.

By the way, since you are new here, I'd like to briefly bring you up to speed on the V1 Video Analysis. This is an effective and inexpensive service that I highly recommend to everyone in the school. I liken it to bringing your swing into the shop for a tune-up or minor repair. Scheduling one on a quarterly basis for preventive maintenance will do wonders for keeping things humming along nicely, and it's also a great tool for pinpointing and resolving any issues that arise. 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.

Beyond that, just a little bit of preliminary advice as you get started:

1. It is crucial to take sufficient time to master the fundamental components of the first couple of chapters! I cannot overemphasize this enough, as frustrations predominantly occur when a student jumps ahead in the curriculum without properly dedicating himself/herself to the foundational base upon which our consistently repeatable, powerful, low maintenance swing must be built. Please have a look at this introductory video if you have not already done so.

2. One of the many great things about this swing is that you can achieve solid ball striking even at the most basic levels. This is why I oftentimes will suggest that students park themselves on Chapter 2 of the Golf Swing Simplified course for an extended period of time after locking down Chapter 1's foundational elements. Chapter 2 reinforces the body motions and the weight-forward component, and it culminates with what I call "The Best Golf Swing Practice Drill of All Time". Work yourself sequentially and gradually through the chapter, and then commit yourself to that drill in Lesson 2.8. Learn it. Practice it. Master it. You can even use the somewhat abbreviated swing it provides on the course and play quite well with it! Once you've got that down, you will be well prepared to move forward in the curriculum and well on your way towards taking ownership of YOUR swing!

I look forward to hearing from you here in the Forum as you progress!!
