Easily the best I've come across in terms of breaking down and explaining the golf swing. Thanks Eric!

I have LOOKED at a LOT of explanations of how to use the right arm, this BY FAR is the BEST CLEAR explanation of the USE of the right arm AND how to do it!! This great!!! Thanks!!!

Good grief Eric. By FAR the best instruction on KZfaq. bar none. Clear, concise, logical, right visuals, ... why have i not seen you earlier.. unreal.

Fantastic video! I've always had a problem understanding when, and how much something should be done, especially with hinge and extension. You've explained it perfectly, and the consequences of doing too much of the many components of the back swing. Thanks and keep up the great work!

I've been binge watching your videos for almost two days. Love the way you explain things. Thank you!

Brilliant job omitting ridgid one swing teachings , while illustrating cause and affect masterclass of golfers individual golf swing tendencies with various options available to make it work based on each golfers profile . Your detail on acceptable swing positions. Soo well explained . Thanks for sharing . ⛳️

This is so good. 🙌🏽 You are the best on KZfaq at explaining the details.

I never get sick of watching your videos. So much information that actually helps in developing the ever so elusive good golf swing.

Thanks! This is so good! I really got a understanding of my backswing and my faults by looking on this video! Great explaining!

This is a great video, lots of important keys here that really makes the understanding of the golf swing much greater. Thanks!!

Wished I would have come across your videos earlier in my golfing career. Your breakdown of the golf swing is excellent!

Good instructions Eric, definitely helps me understand what I need to work on in a simple way 👍

These videos are literally changing how I swing the golf club for the better and I can't wait to grind it out on the range as soon as the weather warms up here in Minnesota!

Fantastic ! There is so much great information in this video that I don’t think a beginner can fully appreciate that these positions are part of the foundation of a sound golf swing. It has literally taken me 35 years to figure out these positions without the aid of videos that we have at our fingertips now. There is absolutely no reason why someone with average physical ability, and understanding, would not be able to play decent golf and shorten the learning curve with teaching like this available. As usual, great video Eric.

i have searched lots of related inform on web for long time, your vedio is the best one and explained all the back-swing questions for me. Thanks!

If only teachers would take the time to explain this. Great instruction. Game changer!

Your Right wrist back video (and mention here) is pure gold. One thing I struggle with however is focusing on wrist back tends to cause my right elbow not to bend but rather lock in place. It seems like the only way to have both would be via forearm rotation, right? I’ve been hesitant to add that because I was worried it would open the face. What do you think? Thanks much!

Amazing summary that doesn't over complicates things and even suggests which side to err on.. great stuff..

This video changed my game completely. I had a spell of months of bad golf. Knowing my club face was open and struggling to correct this. Having my right wrist bent back as much as possible as described in video has me driving straight over 300 yards, irons now with baby draw and hitting 8 iron 160 yards with lovely flight. I was so close to quitting golf. We all say it, but I seriously was selling my clubs. I'm now playing to single figures gross score on most rounds and just love the sport again. Best video I've ever watched.

Amazing that you're talking about that right wrist hinge! Was hitting some drives yesterday and kept pushing the ball and had some weak slices. On my drive back home I started thinking it might be because my right wrist wasn't hinging enough backwards allowing me to stay on plane and approach from the inside of the ball. The videos I took proved that too. Another thing to work on🙂

This chap called Eric is fantastic his teaching is excellent coming from a low handicapper he's improved me so thanks

Informative lesson. Hope your guidance leads me to a perfect posture at the top of the swing. Thanks!

Excellent overview . Biomechanical descriptions are "spot on". Thank You !

Great explanation. I'm hyper aware of my hands and wrists in my swing. This answers my questions specifically

Great job, Eric. Incredibly thorough and enlightening video. I'm heading for my 4 iron and my mirror right now to see what my right arm is up to. Thank you!

One of your best videos. I am constantly watching Andy and Piers. Chris Ryan. Clay. Rick Shiels so believe me when I say this is one of the best videos (:

Thank you. I've read this in Hogans book but never practiced it. Can't wait to get to the range.

great video ...best teacher who explains the sequencing of swing...wondered though how high do you try to get the right elbow on the backswing?

One the most helpful videos on angles and rotation

Another classy video, great explanation, thank you Eric

Outstanding video! Just what I have been looking for!

Eric your the man bro,,, so funny the way to explain things,, awesome!! All kinds of people out there!!! Ty man great job!!!

Amazingly detailed and explained video! Thanks Eric!

I have been sneaking up on getting max right wrist bend for 20 years... Eric, you are the best instructor on YT ( and I watch them all...)

bravo on today's lesson...learned a lot. thank you!

Great explanation! Tip #3 has changed my game.

Eric, that's really good explanation! Thank you!

That’s a lot of info, thanks Eric. I watched it 3 times so far. Off to the range!

Another good video to learn from. You really brake down each part of the arm and explain the impacts they can create. This will be good, instead of lifting my arms and hoping, I can try and feel each moment and try to control my arms movements. Only the shot will tell when I play with it. Should be a challenge. I get the feeling this is going to connect my whole arm better to my shoulders. I can see myself rotating my arm as much as I can trying to do a massive draw. Lol. Good video, good explanation. I understood.

Best golf tutorial video on KZfaq, thank you

You're like a younger Mike Malaska! Good job with the detail and the subject in general. Thanks!

well put and easy to understand , great job

Best of best KZfaq videos explaining arm mechanics

Clear, articulate, common sense. Many thanks.

One of the best golf videos on KZfaq.

Fantastic video, thank you Eric.

What a great video. Watch this video many times.

Eric, this is some of the best descriptive instruction I've seen. You definitely do an excellent job.

You are an amazing teacher!

philosophy of golf! thx, master eric. 😄

Nice video. Exhaustive details .. Good for my backswing practice... Keep it up.

So helpful! Thank you.

This is a great video. Thank you

I need to work on this. I hit the ball like a hockey slap shot with my right arm. Excellent video as always

I wish I'd known about the right hand rotation years ago. I've compensated for my fast move inside and up to off plane shaft so much that I somehow hit a draw. This saves me so much frustration with the takeaway!

Really excellent coaching, than you!

Excellent Eric! Thanks

Glad you did another video on this,,,,,,GOOD SHIT,

5 PERMUTATIONS and I see that I have done them all! Now after watching your video I can now see where I have been going wrong! Many thanks!!

Great explanation Eric

Very good explanations.

Great Videos Eric. Little confused about the shoulder turn and preference toward or against flying elbow. Can you elaborate? Regards, Shadi

Just commenting to say you are bang on the money with your videos hard to say how you could possibly improve your videos. Thanks again. If you were in the UK I would be knocking on your door.

great video Eric. I struggle with my right "bend".

Amazingly helpful!

Eric, I just had a lesson detailing a lot of this as an issue… but my instructors thought for me was that I was going too inside via the wrist too early. Most things I’ve seen, at least my amateur interpretation of what is being said, is to set the wrists as early as possible. It’s not so much rotation of the arms that flattens my plane, it’s my wrist starting the momentum in a flat plane. I use the right wrist to keep the left wrist flat at impact. My instructor said, and I agreed with him, that setting that wrist early in the swing made me too handsy looking for a flip of the to mirror the wrist set early in my swing. What are your thoughts of when to set the wrist for someone like me… I was a fairly serious tennis player in my younger days so my natural tendency is to involve the wrist during impact. For reference I’m about an 10-11 handicap when I’m playing a lot.. this year has been sparse time on the range so closer to 13-15 I realize hard to say without seeing my swing… but big point is that it seems like my hinge is creating a swing that is way too flat. By hinge I mean pulling the wrist back on the plane towards my watch if I wore one… not the plane towards the bicep.

Thank you always for your valuable lesson Eric, BTW I have a question for you. After the release do you bend your left wrist?

Great video...thanks

Excellent excellent videos Eric, I'm up north of Binghamton ny and thinking about making a trip for a lesson, I have a question I understand the more you hinge your wrist up creates cup at the top, how does cupping of the wrists affect your pivot?

Hi Eric, got a tough one for you today. Most amateurs struggle with shallowing the club during the transition. Why isn't it the norm to swing in a way you can have the shaft on one plane during the whole swing, thereby getting rid of the shallowing part? What's your view on this? Thank you, always reviewing your content :)

Excellent video.

awesome presentation little confused on the wrist motions i thought that the right wrist worked on the horizontal plane--- and the left wrist worked on the vertical plane---help me understand the concepts

Hey Eric I have enjoyed your videos, you've helped me a lot! Your teaching style is what I can relate to. Backswing depth is something I've thought about for a long time But when you demonstrate back swing positions while standing straight up, out of your golf posture, your arms and club shaft are much flatter in space than when you are in your more bent over posture, they appear more vertical. I'm sure that all of these positions are relative to your shoulder plane, but this can be kind of confusing while watching.. Thanks, Ray

Hi Eric thanks for all the great videos. Quick question regarding rotatining the right shoulder at the top of the backswing... you explained the diff between internal and external rotation but would like to know which as a stock is better. Many thanks Etienne.

No one pointes this out to me. Without knowing this, no matter how nice my stance is, my swing is still very inconsistent. Thanks a lot for sharing your technique. Thanks a bunch!

Liked the video. Thanks. Is it the same with a driver or fair way wood? Seems different with an iron than the driver or wood. Your thoughts?

Do you advocate (for most people), going from internal rotation of the right humerus, to external rotation during transition?

in my swing I have less forearm rotation/ external rotation of the shoulder and I do notice with the longer clubs mostly driver and 3 wood I'm across the line. when I try to actually rotate my forearm a little bit it just feels so unnatural and I feel like I'm really opening the club face. my question is across the line really that bad? I'm happy with my ball striking overall. its just sometimes I'm guilty of trying to fix things just to be more aesthetic on video. however I do notice that Bryson dechambeau is across the line with driver and hes a top pro. thanks for all you do Eric!

Awesome!,, thanks!,

Really comprehensive video. One issue not covered is the need to connect the right arm or not. There are videos placing head covers under the right arm or using towels while some instructors promote floating the right arm away from the chest right from the takeaway. Could you come on the lateral movement of the right arm away from the chest- when and how it should happen?

Great video! Was that a ufo 🛸 in the beginning? Haha

Very good video but which is the correct way to proceed? Tks

When I was a hacking 14hcp I knew that when I could master right arm only swings /strikes I would have become a good player because at the time I could do good left arm only swings but Im right handed! The key for me having dug it out the dirt is that I rotate in the shoulder/upper arm/elbow but not in the forearm and my hand does the gamechanger hinge that Chris advocates,Hope this makes sense as Im now down to 5hcp and yes I can do good right arm only swings/strikes.

By the way your a good teacher its me and I dont know what I am doing wrong

love! Thanh you

Eric you talk in the backswing about right arm rotation but you rotate only the wrist and the hand and not the arm! The arm rotation I feel should be also the elbow and right under arm. Please let me know what your thoughts !

Eric, I have the same problem with my shoulder which causes flying right elbow,as you said my shoulder is not flexible,how to eliminate flying right elbow, I have your slice course is great but doesn't address the elbow......help Chris

I am in Caracas - Venezuela . Is posible to send you a video of my son who plays golf ?

Great vid , i get alot of what your talking about but tried all these to get match , suck club on inside but not with eternal right arm rotation more due to early hip rotation any tips i am not very flexible if i stablise them the only thing that seems to work is radail straight off the start of backswing keeping wrist flat still any ideas 🤘 ps i suffer with hooks 🙄😂

Is it true that lesser the right elbow bend at the top you will get more width?

I filmed my swing today and discovered that I do this slight up and down movement with my head from backswing to downswing.. I need to be perfectly still I imagine.

Is it true that when using driver or fairway woods, we have more arm rotation and almost zero arm rotation for iron as one take the club up?

@ Eric Cogorno Golf I have a question Eric. So during my younger years I played a lot of sport and both my shoulders have been dislocated upwards of 25 times each. In your expert opinion what subconscious limitations do you think it causes during my swing? Yeah I know...upwards of 25 times each..!!🙄🙄

Should your right elbow be below or lower than your lead arm?

Good.

Great info Eric. I find this easier to grasp when making right hand swings only. All this talk of unhinged reminds me of my ex wife!

That no hinge look. See Bryson DeChambeau he's pretty good?

I find that I pull my right elbow straight back behind me, which pins my left arm against my body. Since this movement of pulling the right elbow back is not one of your five, should I assume that in no circumstances should you pull the right elbow back behind you in the swing.

good information. Fifth step is not very clear, may be i will have to watch it more times.

A thumb up!!!
