GOLF: GUARANTEED COMPRESSION ON EVERY SWING!

[@daiwan6580]

Eric has had many guests in his videos. All of them deliver critical skill to hit golf balls properly. However, if you are an average player, the videos sometimes are hard to comprehend mainly because of our inability to do what are needed for delivering good golf swings. Not the messages but personal athletically ability and time/effort are involved. But after repeated tries and reviews, once you get the main points and are reproducing the kind of the results the videos meant to teach, they all make sense. The tilt, bent elbow, lower your shoulder, and all the messages start making sense. You have to watch his hundreds of times and they all worth it!

[@CogornoGolf]

Appreciate you being here with us and hope this one helps my friend!

[@jojokeo]

GREAT info! Instead of chest down facing target head down etc... I visualize a stick figure drawing to keep it simple. Merely maintain the spine angle while shoulders turn on the same plane. Every time something goes awry, I visualize the stick figure to keep it simple. I call him "stick man"! ALL of my friends know exactly what I mean when I say it and I'm playing well. :) Thank you ERIC!

[@CogornoGolf]

Thank you!! Our pleasure👊

[@richyclubsport5155]

Merry Christmas from England Eric, thanks for all the great videos throughout the past year

[@CogornoGolf]

Appreciate it! Merry Christmas to you as well!!

[@flakuchis]

Best one yet Cogorno! Awesome detail on impact position it really cleared things up for me

[@CogornoGolf]

Thanks, Andres!

[@555Trout]

Glad you did this. Good job. Top 3 most important vids you've done imo. 👍💯

[@CogornoGolf]

Thank you!!👊

[@tomnaughton4638]

Excellent advice and very clearly explained. Thanks Eric.

[@CogornoGolf]

Thanks, Tom!!

[@tonystopar7329]

Excellently said " Details matter!" Basics + details = better golf.

[@CogornoGolf]

Yes!!

[@pigslefats]

Good one Eric. Stand tall or taller you have to flip as I always have. Get closer to ground to compress- you can then get the forward leaning shaft with elbow and wrist bend. So obvious once you explained it. Went out into the garden, addressed the leaf and guess what-the divot was target side of the leaf. Miracle! Looking forward to my next golf game.

[@CogornoGolf]

Great to hear!! Appreciate you watching!

[@pigslefats]

@@CogornoGolf Eric this lesson for me is golden. Golden I say. You don't even realise. This is a fundamental lesson on iron striking. You nailed it. Went to the range today and I was compressing the long irons. Time and again. And this was a free lesson. You are a generous and astute coach. Thank you.

[@henryduma6738]

Thank you very clear for my next practice.

[@CogornoGolf]

Our pleasure Henry!

[@daiwan6580]

This is the only thing you need to down blow the golf balls. The best explanation why the technique is a must to hit the golf balls first on the way down with the clubs. 100% best drill!

[@CogornoGolf]

Appreciate it :)

[@frankferrara406]

It all makes sense-not sure if actually doing it consistently is straightforward. Will try it.

[@CogornoGolf]

Hope it helps Frank!

[@legend9018]

Great video, and the visuals for impact are excellent. Sometimes I find when I try and recreate that it leads to shots struck more near the toe of the club as that movement starts to shorten itself.

[@CogornoGolf]

Thanks! Need to feel shoulder more down and head more OUT over the ball then likely

[@jonathanespejo7425]

Thanks Eric! Clearly explained.

[@CogornoGolf]

You got it Jonathan!

[@rogernewton7831]

Great vid Eric and Happy Christmas.

[@CogornoGolf]

Thanks, Roger! Same to you and yours!

My dear Eric, I wish you merry christmas and a very good year! Erich from Vienna

[@CogornoGolf]

Thanks, Erich! Same to you and yours!

[@JCGlock87]

Exceptional video Eric, as usual. Coincidentally this past Saturday during my round I was thinking about hitting the ball with my right shoulder. I was flushing it. Great job going through the body motion and feels in this video. I’m going to be drilling this.

[@JCGlock87]

I would also add that you don’t realize how much you need to feel the chest/right shoulder going down/tilting to get in the right spot. As you mentioned, if you think you’re doing it, you’re probably not doing it enough.

[@CogornoGolf]

👊Thank you James! Hope it serves you well!

[@BLKMeSa]

Thanks for this. I'm very shallow with irons and need more of this feel. Sending in my swings to Dennis today! :)

[@CogornoGolf]

Lets go!!

[@jwilkinson5855]

Great video Eric I struggle really badly with standing up through the downswing. Going give this a go next game out 👍

[@CogornoGolf]

Hope it helps...use these for drills: kzbin.info/www/bejne/in6wdISwaNOfo9k

[@carlosfreitasdasilva9150]

Eric, Great video ! I am trying, in the range, to do as you advice. However, in my down swing, when my trail shoulder goes down and forward (I’m RH), I am hitting the ground before the ball. Perhaps I am not turning the hips fast enough. Thanks for any comments. Carlos

[@CogornoGolf]

Yes Carlos I would make sure 1. You are rotated open enough with pelvis/chest 2. your trail arm/wrist are bent enough

[@jooorence]

How do you make sure your trail arm and wrist are bent enough? Should we start like that at address?

[@kevibhoy3203]

As per usual, first class instruction and explanation. 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇨🇮☘️

[@CogornoGolf]

Thank you! Appreciate your kind words!

[@pipdennis1986]

Working on this snd am getting there Eric.....but ball seems to be going left more now...overdraw/ pulling a bit??? Any idea where I might be going wrong Cheers Pip Dennis

[@CogornoGolf]

Hey Pip Dennis! Hard to say for sure without seeing your swings...but I'd start with checking your club face and making sure it's not too closed. This video may help you out! kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHS6aoqVoayEqq8 If you'd like to send in your swings so we can work together on your game, sign up for our free trial at www.cogornogolf.com/freetrial 👊 We'd love to have you join the team!

[@jeffhodge7333]

It is the bending of your right side that moves the shoulder into the correct position. As you come into impact, think of your trail shoulder getting closer and closer to your trail hip.

[@CogornoGolf]

Thats right! Side bend----as you turn

[@johnherman3261]

I love these videos Eric. To me my legs play a big part of covering the ball, getting into the slot. Thanks for all of the great instruction this year. Happy holidays to you and yours.

[@CogornoGolf]

Appreciate it, John! Our pleasure...For sure on the legs....everything affects effecting

[@thomasmichaels6850]

another great video. Thanks.

[@CogornoGolf]

Thank you, Thomas! Our pleasure!

[@DougSchakel]

In the background of today's video, I see an Explanar circular swing training device. What are your thoughts on the Explanar or other circular training devices? --Doug Schakel

[@CogornoGolf]

I like it for some people for sure to learn to keep the club relatively on plane....can be a good tool.

[@path6598]

In this swing for a right handed golfer, which arm would be more dominant in the down swing?

[@CogornoGolf]

Hey Pat! neither. Both.

[@path6598]

@@CogornoGolf thank you

[@alanwilliams4842]

Eric in the videos shown to demonstrate none of the shaft angles at address match those at impact despite the distortion of the back to maintain body angle adopted at address. Can you explain please what they are doing?

[@CogornoGolf]

Yes Alan shaft angle at impact higher than setup. Thats because the wrists are more unhinged at impact (unlnar deviation) mostly due to the shoulders being open and tilted. So the left shoulder is more UP and AWAY from the ball at impact vs setup. That raises the handle.

[@jdepaoli625]

I have no issues doing this with an iron, but looking at my impact with a driver I stand tall. Can you do something with the driver & how to stay down (like the irons) yet still hitting up on the ball? So easy to see it by filming myself but fixing it is impossible it seems. p.s. I love your videos!!

[@CogornoGolf]

@@CogornoGolf thanks Eric, the set up I do is close to how he is telling you but I'm going to try to close it a touch. Hopefully that'll not make me lift up. I wish I had a teacher like you up here, unfortunately I have yet to find anyone as knowledgeable & insightful, just seems like money thrown out the window.

[@yeti5684]

THE KEY WORDS IN THIS VIDEO ……. OBLIQUE CRUNCH. Just adding tilt to the shoulders can produce a swing that early releases far too much from the inside…which is okay if you’re a junior or super and you need a hook. In your prime strength years YOU MUST USE THE OBLIQUES TO TILT YOUR SHOULDERS FOR CONTROL

[@CogornoGolf]

Love it

[@jamiesloan7259]

The key here is the turn. Without that left shoulder turning up, keeping only your chest down will cause you to dig a ditch.

[@CogornoGolf]

Yep!

[@tgchris2222]

As an amateur this is dangerous for my over the top swing. Accentuates my backswing problems. I like the guidance of bring the shoulder down to the right hip. Or decrease the distance between the right shoulder and the hip thus creating right side bend. But what he’ll do I know I’m a fifteen handicap…..

[@CogornoGolf]

All good....gotta get the backswing good for sure.

[@migbgold3191]

Eric isn’t the rear shoulder moving down as a consequence of proper wrist angles? Meaning if as you get top of backswing and into transition you are extending the rear wrist and flexion the lead wrist - won’t you naturally accommodate those proper conditions by rear side bend and covering through impact since the wrist conditions have set up a shorter radius relative to setup? Just trying to match it all up - I have been working on reducing a too strong lead hand grip (left hand for me since I’m a righty) … which had me struggling with a hooded face and snap hooks with longer clubs. By getting that lead thumb more on top it resulted in a more natural way of getting flexion in the lead wrist … which got me the trail wrist extension - and it seems the body movements from transition down through impact just start to fall into place like dominoes and the body naturally needs to lower with side bend and rear shoulder lowing through impact to accommodate the shorter radius established by proper wrist conditions

[@CogornoGolf]

Hey! I would say it goes equally both ways. So I would say NO the wrist angles dont guarantee the shoulder and the shoulder doesnt guarantee the wrists. You need BOTH.

[@link5059]

Ahh this is the missing piece for me I think. I think this also ties in with issues with early extension which I've been having trouble with.

[@CogornoGolf]

Hope this one helps my friend!

[@Mike-rr5rv]

I’ve been trying to compress the ball more, but it seems like I’m delofting the shot

[@CogornoGolf]

Delofting is good!

[@jimspatz9211]

Will guess that many of us move down, but not forward.

[@CogornoGolf]

For sure....Many need more down as well (side bend) Side bend (right shoulder closer to right hip) as you turn (forward) together is the key

[@jeffhodge7333]

How do you handle the humidity? I don't know why wealthy golfers live in Florida. The tax laws are not worth it, and the people in Florida are too weird to document.

[@CogornoGolf]

Haha we will see once it gets summer and really hot!! Lol for sure....that happens in parts of Florida not where Im at in Boca :) Best
