New to Saguto Golf. I have only been practicing this new swing for a few weeks now. Overall, I am enjoying the lessons and the idea behind this style of swing but I am noticing a common problem now that I am moving to this swing.
I played 9 holes today and hit every single iron shot thin. I got little to no height on every shot, some were just straight ground balls. Could anyone point me in the direction of what I could be doing wrong?
My drives were either slices or sky balls that went < 100 yds. The next longest club I use is a 3 hybrid - which I either caught thin or just flat out topped it.
On one of the Par 5’s of the course, I threw down a few extra balls to see if I could figure it out - all I could think of was maybe my arms were not remaining a unit. Sure enough, I glued my elbows together hard and cracked a nice crispy KFC 7-iron up towards the green.
Ironically, prior to learning this swing, my common problem was fat shots/hitting behind the ball - now its the complete opposite haha. The good news is I haven’t hit a single fat shot since learning this new swing so theres at least one positive.
Thanks in advance!
Thanks @Tom Saguto - makes total sense. I picked up a copy of that S&T book so I’ll be sure to reference that.
Played another 9 holes today, tried to focus on the 3/4 quarter swing / 2.8 drill. Had quite a few good strikes and one perfect divot in front of ball 8-iron shot into the green - so good I had to take a pic!
