These golf swing setup mistakes are killing your ball striking (and most golfers have no clue about them).

There’s a reason why I’m fixing setup in every golf lesson. Most golf swing setups are flawed. It doesn’t matter if you’ve been playing for 15 or 30 years. There is a huge chance you’re making these setup mistakes (and you have no clue you’re doing them).

These setup mistakes cause you to lose power and wreck your golf swing. They cause shorter drives, missed approaches, and poor contact. Your ball striking is directly affected by your setup.

Despite setup being such an important key, why do so many golfers have flawed setups? You’re going to be surprised at what I have to tell you here…

Traditional golf swing techniques are the main reason for poor setups. Why? Because there are so many conflicting ideas about setup. There’s no clarity in the golf world.

We all learned the traditional way (I’ve been there too). And, it’s not your fault.

In today’s video you’ll discover costly setup mistakes that are killing your swing. You’ll see why certain commonly taught techniques harm your swing. You’ll also learn how to fix them with powerful setup keys that pave the path to consistently great ball striking.

  1. Tom, you are a young guy with lots of flexibility, experience and power–effortless. I am a 67 year old guy who started playing golf last August. What I think you need is a senior student that you can coach through your system to demonstrate to all the seniors that your system works across the age spectrum. I'm first in line to be that guy!

  2. I was contemplating that sneaky, beautiful shank you brought out “on command”.

    So i think, it might be interesting to shoot and show deliberately, all the bad shots. Which can be useful shots.

    The Saguto Way….then back to the foundation!

  3. Okay in terms of weight forward: I have to push the hips forward while keeping the shoulders level / the spine vertical? Because just pushing the hips forward creates tilting away from the target and we dont want that. Right?

  4. Ive been watching your videos for 2 years now.Could not figure out the swing until I switched my grip. My left hand was gripping too much in my palm. Needs to be in the fingers. Way to hard to get lag and shaft lean gripping in the palm. Irons and driver going 20 yards further now!!
    I think this should be stressed before anything else. I thought my grip was good.

  5. I might have missunderstood something here. Had some lower back pain and think it might have to do with my setup. "Bend over from your spine" means that I dont get the forward tilt entirely from my hips but (except from the initial belt buckle at the ball) from the curving or bending of the spine itself? I tried to tilt over by just using my hips and I think I locked my lower back with that. Is that right?

  6. Honestly the most impactful coaching I have had in golf. I quit the game out of frustration ten years ago. Friend recently took me to the range and I remembered why I was always so frustrated slicing thin hits, pretty much praying on every swing that I would connect well. Sometimes I did, sometimes I didn’t. I would watch videos, see my swing overlayed onto pro golfers and try to make adjustments to look more like them. That first range session back left me with no motivation to get back into golf. I stumbled on to this video, and just fixing my setup and weight change suddenly it was shocking that I was striking the balls on a line at the flags. All the way up to my 5 iron. I even felt like I should try my friends driver and made some beautiful contact with that, although I can’t say those were all on a line, they were solid contacts. I had pretty much decided that I play better golf when I just leave the driver in the bag and take my chances with a fairway wood off the tee. These tips have gotten me excited about golf again. Thank you so much for the content!
