The Move That Makes Irons And Driver Really Easy

Eric, this is quite brilliant because there are so many gems and so little trade jargon packed into this video. I spent $3000 on a 5-day class with a man I consider to be a fraud, Martin Chuck, but was never shown "the slot" for a driver as opposed to a seven iron. You did it for free at 1:14/13:58. That's terrific information because the driver swing plane is a) flatter than the short-iron plane and b) it must be accompanied by a torso tilt away from the target. In order to hit a round-ball square, I look at the back of the ball with a driver and I focus one imaginary ball in front of the golf ball with a short-iron. I want the lowest part of my swing to be in the middle of my stance with the driver; whereas the lowest part of my swing should be in front of the ball, when it is in the middle of my stance, with a short-iron. There's more to it than that, but the information on swing plane is the plane truth.

[@lifesaver3499]

great Eric...i think what we could also is a video showing how to switch back and forward between driver and irons..hit driver with your more around swing and then next swing upright with an iron

[@normanmah7838]

This drill/tip/lesson was game changer for my swing. I’m exactly what you described- I’m pretty good with my short irons but longer clubs, not so much/lousy. Not just swinging around body but I made sure not to have my hands go beyond my shoulder (which I tend to do). Best range session since forever. Looking forward to using on course. Thanks for great video session on this

I watched this video earlier last week after I watched it I got excited, as I KNEW, my high arch swing was a cause to my swing that I wasn't aware off. I just got back from the range and am elated right now, as I was crushing balls straight and to the left. As a right handed golfer with a nasty slice, I'm okay with my ball drawing a bit as it's progress. I'm excited for my next round and to be hitting fairways. Thank you!

[@davee3951]

Hi Eric, I've been using a swing thought lately that makes the around swing described in your video very easy. This really goes back to some of your previous videos, which describe the feel of using the lead side outside seam, of your pants, to trigger the downswing. I asked you once if this same feel might also be used to trigger the backswing and you said that it might be worth trying. I decided to revisit this idea and found a modification that works like magic to produce the shape of swing and hip action that you are describing. All I have to do is set up with both fee splayed outwards about 20 degrees. This setup also splays the centers of my thighs outwards. Instead of thinking about the outside seams of my pants, I focus on where the front creases of my pants are (or would be if they had creases). I use this "Crease Trigger" move with the trail leg to get my entire trail side turning back to the top of the swing. The same simple feel with the lead side crease takes care of the through swing. The result of all this, is a very repeatable and centered coiling and uncoiling, of the entire body.

[@CogornoGolf]

I like it Dave! If Im visualizing correctly what you are saying that makes perfect sense

[@davee3951]

@@CogornoGolf Thanks for the inspiration Eric. I love the swing mantra that I can use with this swing...CREASE GREASE...CREASE GREASE. The word GREASE applies to the feel of the smooth moves of the right and then left shoulder blades behind, when cranked consecutively, by the right and then left splayed centers of the thighs. Ten % speed increase with every club, great contact and direction...what's not to like?

The only key that has ever worked to prevent my slices and weak fades. Pros can shallow the club in downswing; most amateurs can’t. It may be necessary to shorten your swing arc, but a straight ball flight makes up for the difference.

[@CogornoGolf]

Pros for sure shallow the club better and CLOSE THE CLUB FACE better And that combo eliminates the slice!

But you can still swing the handle the same with all the clubs correc The reason I say this is because I started using the so called Malaska move and I have never hit the ball better and further with this move. It's amazing. The videos with you and Mike are great. I am consistently hitting my driver 275 and straight.I changed my grip and bring the club back square. You did a videob on that as well. It even helps with all pitch shots..changed my game. I take my driver back like you're saying in this video but I bring that handle down like Mike. You have to trust it when you first start but it definitely works.

[@alanscott8067]

Good points. I’d like to add an other point. Let’s assume the player understands how his club is actually designed. Like any tool if you use it as designed it will perform precisely as designed with a little practice. On the other hand if you set the club up in any other way than it was designed and build your grip and Stance around that improper tool misunderstanding your entire swing is being built fighting the tool from the start. Only when a player understands the tool and its design will that player have the potential to develop a swing that is correct for the tool. With a driver especially modern drivers the centre of mass is set way back in the club head. If the club head is soled correctly the face will be very visible at address and there will be no shaft lean. With the ball teed up ahead of the hands a natural upswing through impact is easy to achieve. With shaft lean using your driver it is literally impossible to swing the driver into any proper backswing at all. Understand each tool and what your tool is designed to do is the only way to improve your swing practice. Anything else is a futile endeavour that will consistently have you looking for the next best tip and you’ll play golf swing instead of golf!

This is a good one. I check a lot of KZbin videos and one of the things you see is the obsession of somehow flattening you wrists and in this video you see none of that. Even with driver you'll notice there is a small amount of "cupping". This obsession with flat wrists is difficult for older golfers who already struggle with a full turn let alone adding a FLAT wrist to the equation. In my personal experience you will start missing the ball altogether shanking etc.etc. because you are adding several levels of complexity. Sure, it's the RIGHT way to swing but after years of an imperfect swing it's mightily difficult to right that ship.

[@CogornoGolf]

👊 Appreciate you watching!

[@Geep1778]

I’ve been working on keeping my head still well not so much still but over the ball. Trying to kill the sway and rotate more efficiently. I found in order to turn at all like I want to, the turning of the hips comes after the club gets taken away a few inches. I was trying to takeaway and turn my hips simultaneously for a long ducking time lol. So im quiet legs early and more upper body then that gets some nice torque into my lower w o doing anything. By working on it this way Im seeing much better accuracy and easy power. I eventually got into the groove 1 day at range w this concept and I was striking it so pure I asked if I could take the Matt home 😂 now I’m going to add this lil nugget of golf fundamental! I never even thought of it this way from wedge to iron. 5 iron is my weakest club but I wish I could hit a 2-3 iron or even 4 like a boss. Hate this game! 😁

Hey Eric! My only comment is, sometimes tall guys like myself have a more vertical swing/lift with the arms in front of the chest, rather than horizontal movement across the chest and behind. Davis Love III is a pretty good example of this, even with driver (not including the outliers like Dustin or Bubba who are absurdly high, even with driver). But there are also some guys who aren't overly tall, like Justin Thomas, who also lift a whole lot with the arms, including with driver. Your video with Kevin Roman (?) regarding horizontal vs upright was very enlightening regarding the two basic different backswings. For myself, although I don't lift absurdly high with the driver, I have found great success getting my arms up slightly above my right shoulder, and letting the arms fall blending with the body turn (with some help from Shaun and Mike at AMG, and not unlike your recent video with Trevor). Hitting it more consistent and farther than ever with all clubs, but particularly with driver, since beginning to implement this at the beginning of August. Finally a real weapon for me rather than a liability. And I fully realize there are outliers on both sides of this fence... Cheers! 👍

[@CogornoGolf]

For sure! Good point.... of course the theory here applies regardless of height....you could be tall and be more upright but still be TOOOOOOO upright and need to feel some more around to find neutral :)

I gotta try this. I hit my short irons and wedge shots very well, but have always struggled with the driver. I took the fairway woods out of my bag in favor of hybrids because I had such inconsistencies with the longer clubs. Hopefully this will help me improve in that regard.

I have faith in ya :)

Super helpful for me Eric. Thank you. I would love to understand how to initiate the downswing so that I don’t open my lead shoulder and can shallow the club through the ball.

Love to hear it Robert! These two videos should help a lot! kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpu4dJmwgtKAapofeature=shared kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGqUlXePm654gNUfeature=shared

This is awesome Eric, thank you. This really helped me fix my driver plane

[@CogornoGolf]

Thank you! So glad this one helped!

I love how you explain your concepts. I actually have the reverse problem. I am having trouble with my irons. I have shallowed my driver swing, but now I am struggling with occasionally getting into a rut where I shank my irons. Do you have any videos for that?

[@CogornoGolf]

Thanks! I think you'll enjoy this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGnHpn6ZlNGWhrMfeature=shared

[@sleddog8]

@@CogornoGolf Thank you so much. That was great!

[@mrsubjective8859]

Totally makes sense I feel that I was swinging really nice but still can’t hit driver, but seeing this with the angle is definitely something I was doing. Trying this next time I’m out. Thanks Eric you are the man

[@CogornoGolf]

:) Hope it helps my friend!

[@sadude88]

I can't believe how good that 'baseball' swing drill is. Lightbulb moment for me, for hitting a driver 😮.

[@CogornoGolf]

Love to hear it, Scott!

Best drill analysis of a driver swing path and plane

[@CogornoGolf]

Thank you!

[@stuartdunn5036]

Hey Eric! Hope you are well. Haven’t played much golf for a couple of years, trying to get back into it and this is one of the first videos I’ve had a look at. Feels like you made it about me! Great to see you are still producing such quality content! One question about the final point, is it a good idea to pre set the club face closed if you are having trouble squaring it when you get the club coming from inside?

[@CogornoGolf]

Thanks Stuart! Appreciate you being here with us! I would not advise that no. I would learn to close in IN swing....you can close it at setup as quick fix but I rarely see that last long term. I would get your swing on video or find good coach to identify WHERE/WHY its too open in swing and solve that!! Send videos to www.cogornogolf.com only $79/mo we can help or find good coach in person!

[@mauriceturner9106]

Thank you Eric, I have been struggling with my Driver for so many years this is the exact drill I needed.

[@CogornoGolf]

Our pleasure, Maurice!

[@mauriceturner9106]

How much do you charge for training/coaching?

[@Mr.K.Crowley73]

Thanks man I just subscribed to you I’m going golfing tomorrow morning and definitely trying this thanks

[@CogornoGolf]

Our pleasure!! Hope this helps!!
