Thanks Eric! Have been working with a local pro that has helped me immensely. We've gotten the backswing piece to the point that my next issue is 'how do you get the trail elbow from top of the backswing to impact?' You were watching today, weren't you? Seriously, thanks, that's great info and is really helpful to see and have the drills. Can't wait to try them.

I love the details of bringing the trail elbow to the midline of the body as detailed in the 3-step process: trail arm moves back, away from the midline, trail arm moves independently during the body turning forward bringing the trail arm back to the body midline, and trail arm straightens to compress golf ball, resulting in the forward slant of the club shaft and solid ball contact.

Thanks Eric - nice breakdown of the iron swing. I have struggled with this for a long time. One additional thing that helped me was to NOT target the back of the ball. I now look to hit the inside of the ball about 4 or 5 o’clock position. This target forces me to bring the elbow in to the central position just like you show in this video. I tried using your exercise along with the target change and now I can strike the ball more consistently - thanks - I just subscribed to your channel!

@noherekruger3738 Ай бұрын

The easiest way to explain this, is that you need to go through the motion like you're skipping a rock across a lake. For me, its my first swing thought in the downswing. Assuming your other angles and wrists are correct, that skipping the rock motion will get that right elbow moving properly.

I've tried several lessons but thus far I've only managed to turn all elements correctly when hitting static positions on backswing - cannot repeat the prime loaded positions when I go for a non-stop swing

Setup Coggy....external rotation of the arm so that the inner elbow pocket points straight up to the sky, then internally rotate of the hand. It's the only way the right arm will fold properly and into the proper "plane".

@azcharlie2009 Ай бұрын

You are correct! If there is a secret to golf, this is it. But, what we have to realize is there is a massive amount of forearm rotation, in a very short time, just before impact. Hack Motion proves this is what all great players do. There isn't much force involved. We're just slinging the club down the line, and it happens almost automatically. Hence, the term, "release"....

@CogornoGolf Ай бұрын

Agreed! People get nervous when you start talking forearm rotation.....as they think it will lead to "too much timing".......when in fact all that rotation is NEEDED just to get the face to square and the club head forward to the ball. I've been trying to yell that from the rooftops in our vids for past 8 years!!

@azcharlie2009 Ай бұрын

@@CogornoGolf Lee Trevino called it the rubber band effect. When your trail arm starts out lower than your lead arm, it wants to bounce back, like a rubber band. That's kind of what I mean when I say it doesn't take much effort. Feel free to use this thought!

I think this is great! I've been working on letting my trail shoulder work down in the downswing but I was having some balls go off to the right a bit. I'm seeing your right arm not only work out in front but also following your hips around to the left. Is this correct? Also, thank for mentioning the hand motion which provide some snap with the club and squaring the club face.

For me it all came down to set-up. I used to have my trail bicep facing more like 10 o clock and would cast and get stuck no matter what but once I tucked it in so it pointed straight in front of me and trying to keep that it helped me get my elbow to function like this

Great teaching and explanation. My only fear is watching people block it to the right trying to jam their trail elbow so far forward. Even Adam Scott has it closer to his trail hip. In any case, it's a good swing feel to get compression and a forward low point. Another great video.

Another great video and thank you for sharing. I started doing this motion and hit it really well for me for a couple of weeks. Two misses started showing up: high right due to me having the club face open at impact and a fat shot here and there. Without seeing my swing, you think the high right comes from me not releasing and holding the angle too long? I’m a scratch player if that helps. Thanks

@CogornoGolf Ай бұрын

Hey Burt! Sounds right.....yes I would add in either lead wrist flexing to close face or more arm rotation to square. The more the elbow goes forward it opens the face.....so you need to close it along with that....ANYWHERE in the swing.

@CogornoGolf Ай бұрын

Here are some showing HOW to do that: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nKmHbLqQ0a21pIE.html&pp=ygUmRXJpYyBDb2dvcm5vICMxIHNraWxsIHNxdWFyZSBjbHViIGZhY2U%3D kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sNKCrc2G26m2m4k.html&pp=ygUmRXJpYyBDb2dvcm5vICMxIHNraWxsIHNxdWFyZSBjbHViIGZhY2U%3D

Hey Gunnar! Sure thing---just need to see your swing to tell you for sure how you match the pieces up! In general players who would have the trail arm more back on their side (like a Jim Furyk) have a ton of body rotation to get the club forward enough

Eric - when the trail elbow moves in front of the body, doesn’t that also shallow the club?

I do not do this. At all. This vid explains why my shaft always exits so vertically, why my trail hand lets go through impact (it’s not keeping up), and a bunch of other things. Probably because I was extremely lead hand dominant most of my early golfing years, just dragging my trail hand and arm along. Gonna be doing a lot of reps of this.

@CogornoGolf Ай бұрын

Yes! Agreed---- this one with the glove under could be a good one to add in your case to help learn the feeling and the exit more around vs high and right kzfaq.info/get/bejne/edVleqaIy9Kno6M.html&pp=ygUgRXJpYyBDb2dvcm5vIHJpZ2h0IGFybSBjb25uZWN0ZWQ%3D
