Hey, just started Saguto golf about a month and some change ago. Came from Malaska golf which I love but the results and natural feel for me from Saguto won me over.
I am super confused - and have been for many months - on how the arm motion should go on the downswing. I work with one style have good results but then start having horrible results, watch a video and change. This has been going on for too long so I decided to post here to see what everyone and maybe Tom has to say.
I was watching a video the other day from Tom: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfVgLRRgDnM&list=LL&index=2&t=331s&ab_channel=SagutoGolf and feel this like a axe coming down. I really like this movement on everything except maybe the driver but is this the correct movement I should be having? The other motion would be more like skipping a stone - which I also get pretty good results from but maybe am less accurate and more flippy with this method.
So the two methods I keep going back and forth from is the axe down swing and the throwing the club similar to like skipping a stone. I keep going back and forth with them and would like this settled in my mind cause its driving me crazy.
If what I am saying doesn't make sense - I can make a video on the two methods that I use.
Thanks!

Thanks both of you for your comments. Its really something I struggle with day to day because I loose the "feel" the next time Im out hitting balls... Its very frustrating. I would like to pick one method and stick with it but today I could swing the club like a Axe and it works and feels great but the next day (Literally the very next day) it feels super foreign and I get crap results.
Today I played a quick short 9 before work. I focused more on pushing the club with my right hand (like your punching video) and keeping rotation of my wrists to a min (have a problem with rotating wrists due to how I was taught when I started) - and I had great results. The power is crazy - a little too much as I was over shooting a number of holes where a few weeks ago I would barely make the green.
The real frustration comes from my body switching on how it likes to hit the ball @Tom you need to come to the Bay Area so I can get some 1 on 1 and iron this thing out :)
Im in the middle of the beginning lesson videos but need to slow down and go through them properly - but Im inpatient and what to go out and hit the ball lol.
Thanks again for the comments. It is a fun and rewarding grind.
