Eric, this is 100% correct the arms should straighten and rotate with the body/spine. I learned this when I played baseball to get my arms extended at the plate for much more power. The same is true in golf, distance and accuracy are greatly increased with extended arms. Great lesson Eric!

I going to work on this the last couple of weeks my miss with the driver is a pull left and a fade with my irons. Eric I do have 2 questions maybe you can address in a future video. When hitting my 56 or 60 out of the fair way I'm having difficulty with distances. The contact feels solid by they go really high even for a wedge the same shot feels solid but one will go 100 yards the next will go 70. Then my second is could you do a practice video of a range session of how to practice with propose. My golf games is getting pretty good with alot of help from your video and would like to start competing. I'd just like to know how I should practice. alot of the time I feel like I'm just beating balls down range. Thanks for all you eric I watch all your videos

@nicholasincardona3853 Ай бұрын

Eric, this is a wonderful video and an excellent drill. Do you have a video (I'm sure you do) that instructs the golfer where their hands should be at the top of the swing (vertical, not depth), in relation to their trail shoulder? For example, at the top of my swing, my hands should be approximately at shoulder height, 1 inch above my shoulder, 2 inches above my shouldter, etc.? Or, is it one of those things that golfers need to experiment with at the range? Recently, one of my playing partners commented that my hands were even with my shoulder which resulted in a "flatter" golf swing. He suggested that I try and get my hands a little higher at the top of my backswing with the result being a more vertical swing. I decided to give it a try because of the video you posted a few weeks ago with Trevor Salzman (Number One Reason Players Early Extend In The Golf Swing). My thought was that if I can get my hands a higher, it would help me to increase my shoulder tilt... which is exactly what happened. This resulted in me hitting higher golf shots, and even par for the first time! Thank you for the excellent videos.

@CogornoGolf Ай бұрын

Hey Nicholas! Great question.....wont be the same for everyone. Depends on several factors (how much rotation, how much tilt, height, arm length, etc etc) In general I like to see the butt of the club relatively close to the ankle from down the line and butt of club slightly above head from face on. Send swings in to www.cogornogolf.com so we can see your moves and give YOU specifics for where you need to be to work best for you. You look at Nicklaus to Hogan to Tiger, etc will see all different spots.....key to match that with downswing moves

Great advice. Video yourself from the side (face on) to see how far your head and body slide forward. I would just make sure you get to your lead side before you kick your head back or you will dump the club into the turf.

Hey Sam! Whatever you want really.....best players will hit small curves say 1-5 yards with irons. Some more, some less. But as you work down to lower scores I'd much rather hit a BIG DRAW (10-15 yards) each time but have it happen every time rather than missing both ones. One curve

@kwg7462 Ай бұрын

doesnt clearing of left hip promote this as well? without it, its straight push?

@cdunne1620 Ай бұрын

Eric, it’s seems to me that straight arms after impact is tied in with being able to release the wrists correctly. I notice all the top players in your video have a forearm X shape after impact. Most amateurs don’t do this, they think that is excessive and wristy. The pros are obviously excessively wristy, if you could clarify this it would be beneficial. I’ve been experimenting with stalling the left hand coming into impact allowing the right hand to overtake and thus achieving the forearm X post impact. It feels very weird and wristy but the videos don’t lie. If I continue to turn through impact it looks fairly normal so I’m guessing I’m on the right track. What’s your take on The forearm X post impact and proper right hand release, thanks for the video

@CogornoGolf Ай бұрын

For sure! Will do more videos on this in the future !

@frankcanzanella6753 Ай бұрын

After just three minutes I see this extension of the arms working with my recent insight to flex my knees a little more so I can get my weight behind the strike of the ball. In baseball the pitcher doesn’t want the power hitter to be able to extend his arms. Because that’s where his power is. I’m 5’8” about Ben Hogans size. If I bend at the knees I feel shorter. As a kid I wanted to grow taller. We don’t shrink a little till we’re very elderly. The only way to hit like Mickey Mantle is to be very flexed in the knees.

@CogornoGolf Ай бұрын

Good to hear, Thomas! I'd say most players need LESS lead arm flex through the ball and into the follow through, so you may not need to consciously try to add more in. Film yourself and check video after each swing. Ideally, the lead arm would stay relatively straight until arms parallel to ground in follow through. From there, having it fold to roughly 90° in the finish position is a nice checkpoint to shoot for. If you don't get it sorted or have more questions, send us your swings at CogornoGolf.com so we can do a full analysis and create a custom practice plan for you👊
