Can this lesson get me to the Tour?

[@Drillbitayler]

Ben, you absolutely don't need to keep the pause for social media. No one is following you because of it. Your swing looks incredible with or without it. We want to see you succeed. You don't need a "gimmick" to be big in this space. Especially with all the recent collabs. Keep it if it's your best path forward. But if it's holding you back in any way, ditch it. Literally no one will fault you.

[@hankruthefordhill]

I'm following because of the pause...

[@TheSwingSinghOfficial]

I think he has to, at least until he can cement himself further, same reason DoD King has a following, lots of good golfers on KZbin golf, Ben for better or worse has to keep the pause. Unless he begins to practice really hard to go pro.

[@phillefebvre9599]

I love the pause, can't lose it

[@Chris-b6f2n]

I think the pause helps with his rythmn

[@WigganNuG]

@@TheSwingSinghOfficial In case you missed it, Ben's top goal is to go pro. Pause should only be there if its helping. We KNOW he loses some distance but since he's already longish its not a big problem.

[@CogornoGolf]

Thanks for coming over Ben! You're an absolute stud. Can't wait to see you continue to crush it...Masters 2027 :)

[@ptnpharmd]

I enjoy every minute of this video! 2 great golfers/KZbinrs!

[@guyjsx]

I've been watching Eric for years. His explanations were concise and spot on. Great lesson, can't wait to see you on tour one day soon.

[@T1up4me12385]

I honestly think he has a chance to play higher level professional golf ❤

[@jpgonzalez6043]

Always watch Eric. His videos are always on point and his method of teaching is always great. Also, Ben… you don’t need to keep the pause for anyone. Do whatever works for your golf game and makes you happy. We will be watching anyway. Best of luck bud.

[@turnthree5617]

Been watching Eric's videos for a while now. He is a swing analysis master for sure.

[@timothyjames89]

love how you explain the game/your shots/your lies/etc as you're playing. probably the best at it on youtube.

[@BenKruper_golf]

Thank you!!

[@temporarystranger95]

Eric is one of my favorite KZbin instructors. He breaks down the swing in basic and simplified terms. Love your swing, Ben. I know that Eric can help you get to that next level!

[@gurukilla]

Been subbed since like 4K. Was so obvious this guy was gonna blow up. Deserve every bit of success coming your way.

[@giovannioquendo6305]

Shout out to Ben’s girl, she can’t putt for shit but holding the camera for every video and also helping him just practice on the range is amazing

[@warrenlu6724]

This is one of the best lessons ive ever watched!

[@seekinggreen4481]

Eric Cogorno has been such a great instructor in the KZbin space for so so long - and without fail, his way of getting to the "why" or the "foundation" of the issue is second to none, he has such a great way of explaining things simply, and in an order that builds the whole picture. Amazing video.

[@seajan808]

Eric is so good at what he does !!!! Go Ben !!!

[@diuneimaaaaaa]

Eric is a baller. Great to see an instructor able to execute what he teaches.

[@kendoan5032]

the pause is what leading me here and if you can refine it further and make it to the Master... i remain a big fan regardless !!!

[@brianp4017]

Cogorno you sir are an amazing teacher 😊

[@davidfinocchiaro7110]

What an awesome video to understand what a top tier player works on, or needs to work on to get to the next leve. Nice work Ben.

[@MrERH96]

This is awesome I actually have the same problems. Not nearly as good 12 hdcp. I have used the right shoulder high though to stop hooks and my head falls way back. Glad to hear I was actually on the right track. I got out of those feels because I couldn’t get the face closed so everything was just right and I couldn’t play it.

[@mattknight6185]

havent seen this guy since 90210. glad to see hes doing well

[@devinbateham3881]

This video was super entertaining. I've been developing a new swing over the last three days just from things i picked up off KZbin. And this video will complete the metamorphosis.. Prior to the last couple days i was super inconsistent and didnt have a swing that i could feel fluid with. It was a random Centripetal force video on tiktok that gave me an epiphany. My current swing feels like my arms and body rotate together for 20° then i feel my arm swing under my armpit. After that i lock my elbow in feel the club head push out and away, feel my inside shoulder drop and envision a hollow circle on an axis, when i get to the point of contact i imagine the ball was inside the circle and was released, contining the circle with my club. Been dead straight ever since, even thin, fat, off balance, still straight just less distance. Works with chipping and driving too. Jon Daily said "use the swing you use with your favorite club for every club"

[@devinbateham3881]

Next step is weight transfer and balance

[@bryanlewallen2362]

Yeah, right the pause is what makes his ball contact so much better.

[@withustokenofficialchannel1463]

Hey Ben, I just finished my first range session where I paused… for the whole session. It’s crazy, I was so out of balance and alignment that I couldn’t even start the downswing. After an hour of doing the pause I was in a totally different body position than I started and my striking was incredibly consistent

[@Misnjef]

Thanks Ben I’ve been struggling with a bad push/draw miss myself. This is super helpful

[@curtisreynolds7708]

Yes Eric on point good move can see pin point moves that makes all the difference

[@Mike13684]

EC is a gun. Best coach on YT.

[@maxoutplanner5053]

Rooting for you Ben. Keep up the strong work.

[@BenKruper_golf]

Thank you!

[@catomaky]

I have the same exact problem as Ben, weak grip, underplane swing, im glad I still remember this video as I just started to be very inconsistent. Did you ever peremanantly fix this problem cause this makes me so frustrated.

[@coreygardner8424]

Great work once again mate 🍻

[@tylerkreim1770]

Eric is awesome! Great vid man.

[@MrTagappliedfor]

I met Eric at the masters a couple years ago and he’s just as cool in person.

[@jameslaughter5183]

Cogorno is elite. When Jack Nicklaus was the Bear, before every season he would spend time with his teacher, Jack Grout. Could this lesson be the start of such a relationship?

[@edj9961]

Bens swing looks incredible

[@SouthernUtahGolfAcademy]

You found a great instructor Ben. KZbin is replete with incredibly poor golf instruction. Eric is one of the best.

[@mrjughead87]

Hell yeah. Get after it, Ben.

[@golfbike]

I don’t save KZbin videos. I saved this one. Perfect 👍🏻

[@scarymojo5809]

This kid is the next big golf channel wouldn’t be surprised if he broke 1m in next 14 months

[@NickOnPar]

I’m gonna need you to take another lesson but have Eric teach you everything backwards for us over the top slicers lol

[@brianschultz7320]

If I remember correctly, you said only 0.1% of golfers have the same problem as Ben. I’m completely new to golf but I’m pretty sure I have the same problem as Ben. I’m incapable of hitting a pull. All my shots are pushes. Some go straight, most are weak push-cuts, and I hit some push-draws. I think I’m too laid off at the top and the club gets behind me in transition. And I’m also scared of taking a divot for some reason; I almost always pick the ball off the ground. I took a lesson at my golf club and the pro gave me the exact drill you gave Ben at the end. Albeit, this drill was 100x harder for me than it was for Ben. One problem I have is I don’t know how to hit a pull shot without coming over the top and hitting a weakfish fade. Is it possible I have a similar problem to Ben, or did the golf pro misdiagnose me?

[@RaptorJezus27]

Ben’s got some oven mitts

[@jleal_24]

What a collab!

[@codyochs8682]

Can’t lie my swing coach has me doing the same concept but without the water bottle! lol

[@Jamesdaman69]

I have this same problem with my swing my misses are pushes and push draws but I’ve been getting better

[@whipcream8336]

I love your vids I play golf my self I’m 13 and I want to know how you play. You should make videos with tips

[@obakengmohlaloga359]

Let's go 🔥🔥

[@kidze73]

I had that flippy hands. I’ll show you the fix, get your left hand straight at impact and after impact. Do it by driving your left hand down and bow it a little at impact.

[@sirwojenheimthethird2268]

You’re the one guy who sees it reasonably; the Canucks did play a great game and just got skunked by bad luck. We’re fine if we continue to play with that kind of energy.

hey ben, I am not sure if you found an editor yet but Id be happy to take that on for ya if still looking

Damnit! No one's crushed Eric's water bottle yet. That would be a good thumbnail though.

[@mauriziowill6531]

Screw pga...LIV golf is for you Ben!

[@jlo93633]

Ben, Eric is an awesome coach, but you should get a lesson from Cameron McCormick, (Spieth's) coach. Several of your KZbin have taken lessons from Cameron, and he is awesome. You'll be at his state of the art facility, and he's gonna have you on trackman.

[@jlo93633]

[@seajan808]

I like brysons theory of swing change , if you don’t get results the first 6 strikes , move on try something else , if you have to do drills for weeks and not getting immediate results … move on

[@choide19]

i like bryson a lot and i like a lot of what he says, but that’s kind’ve ridiculous. ask almost any other pro golf player on the planet and they’ll tell you that at one point or another, they had to make a swing change that resulted in poorer ball striking for a short period of time because it turns out we’re not robots and often we can’t make a perfect change in 6 swings. if someone was coming way way over the top and slicing it, and i had them start coming way more on plane, and they shanked the first 6, should they just keep coming way over the top and slicing it? of fuckin course not, they should go home and practice it and in two weeks, they’ll be hitting a baby draw with a much better goddamn golf swing

[@brandondodd884]

If you watch Bryson when he says that, he’s usually instructing. Basically, he gives the “student” a feel and in a few balls it isn’t clicking, then he gives them another feel or another approach toward the same thing. Which is sort of his point. There’s different feels for getting on plane. Not everyone can adapt to any single feel, or method. If you’re trying to do something and the feel you’re using isn’t working, then it’s time to try a different approach to the same result. It doesn’t mean give up and stay ridiculously outside if you’re trying to stop coming OTT.

[@seajan808]

He always states that it only applies to higher level golfers like Ben or higher . Obviously an average golfer it wouldn’t apply . But since Ben is pretty high level it’s why I mentioned it

Ben u are gonna go to the tour and absolutely destroy everyone

[@whocares3986]

I don't understand not working towards getting your grip stronger. I know you're a very good player and have had that grip for a long time, but if it's the root cause for a lot of your issues, why not make a plan for small incremental changes in the right direction?

[@terrypeeples1942]

You can’t change your grip? It’s ingrained in you? Tiger Woods ( ever heard of him ) changed his entire swing and he won 15 majors . ???

[@whocares3986]

@terrypeeples1942 Are you asking if you can change your grip or saying you can't change your grip because it's ingrained in you?
