I want to compliment Eric on this superb drill,. 50 years of avid golf working hard to unsuccessfully get rid of early extension. No instructor or you tube video drills were able to help me figure out proper hip turn until today. Using the rod and focusing on keeping the right knee inside the toe line provided immediate results. For the first time I now have the proper feel for a solid swing and hip turn. I can't thank you enough for this post.

"Right knee inside the toe line" is an awesome suggestion. Seems almost impossible to early extend if one does this. Thanks, Eric.

Outstanding. I've been puzzling over how to do exactly this for a while now. The other thing is the timing of the hip rotation move. Good players seem to turn their hips quite a lot before their club shaft reaches horizontal in the downswing. Max Homa also keeps his shoulders mostly still aligned toward the target at impact even though his hips are quite rotated, so he has a lot of separation between lower body and upper body. Thank you for this great suggestion for how to work on this tricky move!

Best video, for me, in a long time. I watch a LOT of videos, too may, actually. I finally got more choosy when I realized that instructors have differing swings they teach and if their swing does not match what you're trying to do, you are SOL. When I focused on keeping my left arm straight, I became more accurate, but lost a bit of distance, but it was totally the right thing to do. When I followed Eric's tip for turning through, my contact got even better AND my distance increased. I actually feel like I have a good golf swing. I'm usually a bogey golfer, but shot 40 on my first round after implementing this one move. Looking forward to actually getting better at this and seeing the results.

This is exactly what Dennis has me working on. Near the end of my round yesterday I finally felt what it is suppose to feel like. My hips were turning so nicely and not feeling forced like it usually does. And it produced great shot results with added distance. I'm excited to keep working on this.

Eric, this is brilliant stuff. The trail hip portion of this is key for me. Moving up into the ball kills all the benefit of the "clearing of the hips". The knees working in and closer together is a great feel move that should help me "clear the hips", improve rotation, and NOT move up and into the ball by keeping the pelvis a constant distance from the ball. As a person who has watched way too many youtube golf videos, this is one of the best!

@chrissunseri6315 4 ай бұрын

Great video and lesson Eric, thanks. One other thing people can try is to open their stance up around 15° and swing toward the target. I do this by dropping my front foot back around 3 to 4" and flaring my left foot out around another 10° (check out a guy called Fred Couples). Swing toward the target as normal and your hips automatically open. I actually play like this now and have never felt so open and free on the follow through. Helped me get to scratch golf, so it worked for me, give it a shot...

Eric - BIG FAN. I am 64 years old, a 2 handicap with an above average short game. Can you comment on “what you feel” vs “what you think” during the golf swing. When I adopt your training tips, I divide my upper body movement and my lower body movement in what I think to produce the proper feel. When I sequence in the proper order - it is perfection. When you are on the range hitting the same club over and over again, you can get in a groove. However, bringing it to the course “what I think” can be inconsistent. I find myself isolating a movement on the course which impacts my swing sequence - results - a bad swing. I know the golf swing from start to finish is less than 2 seconds so maybe I am thinking to much to create the proper feels😊

@CogornoGolf 4 ай бұрын

@michaelschmidt6548 4 ай бұрын

I've never had any success with lower body feels. What worked for me on the downswing was the feeling of getting my right shoulder out towards the ball. It is impossible to rotate your shoulder toward the ball and your hips to move toward the ball. You would fall over! Now having said that, if your takeaway has shoulders that are too flat, which most bad players do, the shoulder toward the ball can be a disaster.

@@CogornoGolf it's perfect. I had a lesson last week and my pro said I have high hands/handle and early extension, but in-out swing. Watching lots of your early extensions and the feels and drills you explain so well are helping me massively. Thanks for the great tutorials and really explaining what each part of the swing does. I love that you do the opposite feels, really helping me. If I was state side I'd be over for a lesson, or 10! Thanks from the UK

I've been trying to draw the ball for years buy strengthening my grip and all I did was pull or snap hook. I recently went to a completely neutral grip and moved my ball position a little more forward, and now it draws naturally without me even trying to do anything with my hands. Is this one of the opposite extremes happening or just something individual with me? To keep on topic. I do have to clear or I will pull or flip.
