Another masterclass, Eric. This information is gold. Intelligent instruction that can be taken from the practice tee to the first tee. Will definitely try out these draw-biased set up positions! Great work.

[@CogornoGolf]

Appreciate it, Jason!!

[@scottladds7574]

I only started golf 2 years ago this my 2nd season, Weak fades always unless I catch one perfect having that occasional good day, spent lots of money on lessons practiced a lot and just stuck. I watched this yesterday along with the driver video suggested after this video, saved both them and went to range and hit 2 large baskets, in all those balls I hit every club in the bag and had about 3-4 4 irons that faded/sliced and 2 drivers faded but still nice. 9 iron or lower straight ball flight or baby draw 8 iron up 3-5 yard draw with a couple hooks to in there but would definitely playable. Best videos I ever watched I have deleted every video I ever watched and any swing thought I ever had and just doing this all year. Thank you. Have a round today usually shoot low 90s high 80s can not wait to see what happens today

[@CogornoGolf]

Hope this one serves you well, Scott! Appreciate you being here with us!

This really works for me, on the range and on the course! Today I hit draws, only 220 yards but on the fairway and no more slice! Brilliant video thanks alot.

[@CogornoGolf]

Love to hear it, Richard!

[@joshmorgan838]

I can't say enough about this video. I had a terrible slice that I've worked into a moderate slice. After watching this video I'm still not quite getting a true draw but i'm actually hitting the ball directly instead of slapping across it. Just smashing straight and slight draws. It's made a huge difference off the tee for me. Thank you so much, I cannot thank you enough.

[@CogornoGolf]

Love to hear that Josh! Thanks for being here with us!

[@only_son5040]

When i try this I feel like I have no power to hit thru the ball. The most awkward part is my backswing.

[@valhawke]

Thanks guys! I will be trying these nuggets of tips at the range tomorrow.

[@CogornoGolf]

Our pleasure! Hope it helps!

[@gazd]

Guys, Im 19 years playing the game, always hovering from 17-23 hcp. Losing shots getting back into position off the tee with a slice. Took these tips changes my Shoulder alignment, shallow angle and the upright follow out of the club , combined with that wrist movement that NOBODY Has ever shown me in years of golf lessons. Thank you very much, I will be putting this in use and using the driver more than 3 wood. Maybe you have content to do the same with the irons! Cheers Gavin, Ireland

[@CogornoGolf]

Agree on the shot tracer!! Always good to see the results of what they’re teaching us.

[@thegreggys1]

Tried this at the range today. OMG! This works through the entire bag. Driver thru chipping. I am a 6 handicap who really struggles off the tee. Two way miss with good distance. Immediately starting hitting straight and draw drives. A good deal of hooks as well. Excited to modify this a bit to tame the hooks. Thanks Cogorno Golf.

[@CogornoGolf]

Great to hear! Our pleasure!

[@saludin0309]

Hi Eric I want to thank you and Steve for your video today. I am a long time subscriber to your channel. I took your simple guidance to the golf course today and my driver was transformed. I still couldn’t hit a draw (probably because I can’t get the exit path correct) however no no more slices or even fades - dead straight and consistently more distance than before. 80% straight 20% low hooks. Thanks again to you and Steve. Best Nick

[@CogornoGolf]

Love to hear that Nicolas! Our pleasure!

[@bdvjack9214]

@@CogornoGolf is the iron shot for the draw the handle is coming up also after impact ?

[@seadonkey6913]

Just wanted to put this out there. I’ve messed around with stack and tilt. I modified some of it, little bit of Bryson and Hogan. I watched my handicap go up to 9.0 after being a 3.7 after getting lessons to bring my hands higher. I shot 3 under on a practice round. I hit my first drive 320 with roll out and it was an uphill fairway. Finding the distance with my irons again and they’re pretty straight and I can fade and draw if I need to. It’s just simpler for me. I pitch that way and kinda putt with a strong grip and it all worked out good. I played in high school and afterwards. Like I said, I was taught a modern swing recently and I could put together a decent round but just not consistent enough to trust it.

[@CogornoGolf]

Thanks for being here with us and sharing your thoughts!

[@lifesaver3499]

not sure what you are trying to say

[@ernie1060]

I like the set up tips. I definitely play the ball to far forward and it opens my shoulders. When I try to hit a draw it’s a weak push fade or hooked off the face of the earth. Can’t wait to work on the set up and see what happens!

[@CogornoGolf]

hope it helps ya Ernie!

[@leedeu8005]

I just got off the golf course. I can shape any shot consistently with the driver except the high draw. I watched your video and applied your setup in today's round. I have never hit a driver that high before and the draw was beautiful. Keep up the good work. The instructions were clear and proved to be effective and consistent the 1st time I applied it. Thanks Eric👍🏿

Shot 38 on my local 9-hole today with x2 300yrd drives…handicap down to 13.5 🙂 Thanks Eric!

[@rickcudmore8156]

I tried this on the range and on the course this morning and as a lefty most of my shots with the driver were pushes to the left. I had two drives on the fairway. If you try to hold off on the club with the hands high, for me, it resulted in a push. Others videos I have watched recommend the head of the driver to be closing on the follow through.

[@CogornoGolf]

Hey Rick! Understood---of course I would need to see your swing on video to say if this is good for you (depends on where you are coming from) and what else would need to be added to make it work!

[@erickbenson7621]

phenomenal explanation

[@CogornoGolf]

Thanks, Erick!

[@rohitpratap4174]

Awesome guys. Having a more natural slight fade I find it easier to play a true push draw with Driver by putting the ball a hair back but then it's hard to hit the high draw to carry a hazard. I'm glad you didn't mention changing ball position (which encourages a fade or pull draw) but just set up and inswing to alter the flight. Will try!

[@CogornoGolf]

Thanks---hope it helps! Nothing wrong with adjusting ball position and just playing low draw when you want like you mentioned

[@erichmikula8922]

My dear Eric, great Video as ever, thank you very much. I try today the "loop" as I see in one of you`re videos and it works very well for me. My right ellbow goes better in position, my body opened more and I can better use my right arm. I have more time with the loop to bring my body in position. I was a tennis player, a few years ago. Can you please tell me which video from you it was with the loop? Thank you my dear Eric, best greetings from Vienna, Erich

[@michaelranalli9316]

Great video. I’m going to go to the range today to try to implement this lesson. I do have one question that I did not hear or maybe I missed it, was aiming or foot position. Are setting up dead straight to the target line or are you aiming slightly right? Also, are you slightly closed, or feet straight to target line? Thank you and great video.

[@CogornoGolf]

Thanks Michael! I'd recommend setting up square to the target initially and then adjust to have the body/stance-line SLIGHTLY closed. So set up square and then drop the trail foot back 2-3" and close the shoulders..this can help facilitate a draw. This is because it encourages more body rotation in the backswing (and therefore, more depth of the hands/club)...with more depth, it's easier to swing from in to out for a draw. Hope this helps!

[@michaelranalli9316]

Thank you.

[@ivanl8408]

Need a ball tracker other then that love the info. Uf you get a ball track you'll be GOLDEN

[@CogornoGolf]

Thanks Ivan! Something we're looking into for future videos!👊

[@AlexanderMacleod]

With my understanding of dynamics lies thus setup would encourage a push fade. Lifting of the handle opens the face and pushing the handle forward encourages the face to open aswell

[@CogornoGolf]

Hey! Lifting the handle STATIC points loft right....lifting handle DYNAMICALLY adds supination/ulnar deviation....CLOSES the face to path

[@AlexanderMacleod]

@@CogornoGolf I understand. Considering most amateurs wouldn't have that kind of knowledge and most miss the ball right this could potentially make them hit that ball more right if they get it wrong. Good video none the less

[@CogornoGolf]

I think a key point in there is it closed the FACE TO PATH not the face to target!

[@jamespark3399]

Great. Does this approach apply to hitting a draw with hybrids/irons?

For me it helps to keep arms straight and extended after impact

[@davidtheobald502]

I would have thought handle forward and higher would *open* the face at address?

[@CogornoGolf]

Not when you do it DYNAMICALLY. It adds ulnar deviation and supination. Closes face to PATH.....not to target....closes face to PATH.

[@mattdipadua3614]

Is this stack and tilt

[@CogornoGolf]

Hey Matt! Just golf swing mechanics!

[@davidd1395]

It’s seems after years of golfing that it’s difficult to get a draw, a lot of times the face shuts way too quick and it becomes a smothered pull.

[@kangja9338]

0:54

[@garthwebster6433]

This seems complicated. Why not set up square to target, close your stance and swing along your toe-line, making sure to keep the club face in the original squared direction? The club is slightly closed to the path which is the essence of a draw.

[@CogornoGolf]

Thats works as well! It IS that simple for some.....not for others. One thing I have learned teaching over the past 14 years is you need lots of different ways to get the same job done
