Eric, you have become my favorite swing coach on KZfaq. You obviously have a nice swing, but I love how you take on the role as a student when working with JT, always asking the right questions to make things crystal clear. I usually prefer coaches working on their own, but the 2 of you make a great team. Hope you keep making this great content.

Eric. You have helped me figure out a swing that has been a mess for 20 years. Your ability to explain a concept just…resonates. JT is another amazing guest. I want to thank you for creating content, it has truly made a difference for me. Lots of local lessons that did not work. Videoing my own swing and applying your videos has made my golf buddies poor, jealous broken men. Much luv bro.

Thanks Eric for this video. I was getting pretty frustrated with my driver. I was told to always keep my arms tucked in and now I see the trail arm from various videos pull away a bit at the top which feels way more natural. Before I always felt like I was pushing the club, focusing on keeping everything tucked in and not allowing the natural swing. This video truly resonated with me. Thank you.

You’ve got me following Justin Thomas! I will avoid a swing trigger that has me leaning inward with the right knee. I will practice before every shot your suggestion to begin the backswing with the shaft parallel to the ground and the club face turned slightly towards the ground! Great work 😄

Interesting comment about the trail arm not being touching the body. I’ve been trying to keep my trail elbow against my side when I reach the top of the backswing and I’ve been struggling to hit the driver. In fact I’m worse now than when I first started. Now all I can hit is a low hook…I’m almost read to give up and be one of those guys who never uses their driver😢

I hope you get it sorted my friend! I'm sure we could help if we could see your swing.....send videos to www.cogornogolf.com if you don't get it fixed we'll help fix that

@christopherwilson7004 20 күн бұрын

This is interesting. I get way to inside and have a tendency to have big hooks. When things are lined up in the swing I can consistently hit 165 to 170 ball speed. I Bel think this is a good thing for me and drills for me. I have been told by instructors before i need to feel like im trying to hit fades. Ends up being high draws.

Eric I have a driver question. I hit my 8 iron like 175, but my driver is only like 230 to 240. A guy at the range it hit at sais to me in passing if I ever figure out speed I'll hit it a mile. I didn't know what that meant but researched it and what I found is to swallow out my swing to get less spin. What do you think any help you be greatly appreciated. Thanks BTW love the content I watch them all

@CogornoGolf 2 ай бұрын

Hey Keith! Great question....could be several things. My suggestion would be to go get a club fitting asap first things first to make sure the club in your hands isn't the thing holding you back. Once you do that (which may solve the problem) then we could talk swing stuff....could be hitting down too much AoA, spin, etc

Before transition from the top to the downswing should you feel the club float at the top / rest at the top before you start the downswing

@CogornoGolf 2 ай бұрын

Hey Raymond! Unfortunately that won't be a YES or NO for everyone.... What you need to FEEL depends a lot on what you currently DO....would need to see your swing to say for sure

I've been trying to feel a lot of timing in footwork. My sequence/trigger has been plant down get the hips and feet going before everything. Watching this drill and working my way feels wrong too early pressure on the trail side causing me to extend my trail leg stopping rotation and getting out ahead of it. This has me feeling more pressure on the front side until p1 then getting the pressure into the trail heel to get turned instead of plant and slide and use all upper body to turn. I was doing what I was aiming for so long but it was wrong. I've started to feel like I actually need to be on the trail side later that way I have something to move. I was way too quick hopefully I explained that well enough. A sense of pressure into my trail heel from p1 to get the turn. I feel stretch get wide then let the hips get me up almost like a toss behind me, gather to transition and explode. Who knew my transition was off because of my first move back. This has me feeling the vertical forces in my legs without over exersion.

Great stuff. Maybe an entirely different video, but how do you avoid "handle dragging"? Or holding on to the grip too long through impact. Just let it go?

During the second phase how quickly can you bring the clubhead inside?

Pretty much right away. In and up at same time Butt of club should be pointing roughly at the ball/target line as you do this (on plane)

What's the reason for keeping the left hand off the grip? Why not hold onto the club with both hands during the first part of the rotation drill?

@CogornoGolf Ай бұрын

You could....but keeping the left arm off and to the left of the club helps feel the lead arm more IN FRONT vs ACROSS the body like JT wants to feel

@user-tv1bu5qb1v 19 күн бұрын

Is the right arm bent a bit at impact?

@CogornoGolf 19 күн бұрын

The trail arm is bent for sure at impact (roughly 20-30°)...but it will not be the same for everyone. Players who have more trail side bend and rib cage rotation numbers (think Viktor Hovland) will have the trail arm MORE BENT…players who have less trail side bend and rib cage rotation numbers (think current Tiger) will have the trail arm straighter/LESS BENT...still bent SOME...but less. Hope this helps!

@Jonny4fingers Ай бұрын

As a born thrower, I started playing golf like this and shot good scores in 5months. 10 years later, so many lessons and KZfaq videos later, and I'm still not as good as using my natural throwing instinct to load the right lat and scapula, then throw it. My one gripe would be, does the wide takeaway matter? Does the body motion matter? The body will respond as necessary to get into that top position and load all the right side over the right leg. If we reach the same loaded position at the top, what does it matter? It feels so contrived and unnatural to take it away wide, so much potential to pull us onto the outside of the trail foot. If the position at the top is the same, why would a quiet takeaway and width at halfway matter?

@69mjar 2 ай бұрын

The one move I didn't hear you talk about is his squat at the top, and then he uses the ground on the way down and explodes up into the ball for max distance.
