GOLF: How To Start The Downswing With An Iron - Upper Body

[@historicus146]

Your recent video was discussing the right shoulder and the right hip closing in on each other in the down swing. This video is talking about the left (lead) rib cage going down and beating the belt buckle. So the rib cage move happens just before the right shoulder closes in on the right (trail) hip? Next video maybe discuss the melding of these two concepts, the syncing of these two moves. It is clear that the famous hip bump to the lead side drastically changes the hip plane unless you keep good flex in lead knee and keep the elevation of your trail side. Otherwise the hip plane flattens out and will yield topping the ball shots. Scott keeps his hip plane so as to hit down hill on the iron even though he transfers his weight forward.

Hey! Sometimes we need to do videos that fix separate problems. I have done a video on swinging more to the right for people who swing too far the left. I have done a video on swinging more to the left for people who swing too far to the right. Should you swing left or right? Which video is correct? Neither. It depends on what YOU are currently doing.. Same applies for this concept Should you get the ribcage more down and forward? Should you get the right shoulder down? IT all depends on what you are currently doing.

@@CogornoGolf Thanks for the detailed response. Enjoy your offerings very much!

B Johnson thanks man!

Golf is a game where a fraction of a inch can make a Huge difference. For me, trying to move my rib cage a little first inevitably leads to coming over the top. I have a hard time separating a shoulder turn from a rib cage turn. Again, it is a fraction of an inch difference, but if the downswing isn't exactly correct, I end up with a slice, sometimes not drastic sometimes very drastic. I like that shaft in the ground drill. It looks promising. Kevin O'Rourke

[@CogornoGolf]

I was just going to say get the shaft in the ground behind you to fix that easy peasy kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6jHnqufnJZ1jKs

Hello Eric, great video..we were always told to stay behind the ball..This video clearly explains what your body should be doing and puts your body in a good position to cover the ball.. I like the detail that you put into your videos.I gives a clear understanding.

[@CogornoGolf]

Thank you, appreciate it!

[@anthonyviola9400]

Eric in your slight move forward is your head going in front of the ball at impact? Should the head not be behind the ball, or it’s preferred behind the ball when using Driver? Thanks in advance for clarification .

Bender shaft holder$$$/Range bucket FREE! Another great drill clear an concise as always.

[@CogornoGolf]

Thanks, Robert!

[@albertohana8095]

Thank you Eric for your fantastic job...As you talk about irons ,should I infer that this doesn't work for the driver ? Best regards 🙏🙏

[@CogornoGolf]

Less down and forward with Driver....and then actually backing away for driver for lots kzbin.info/www/bejne/invXqWCni7iajLc kzbin.info/www/bejne/npPWeat5aMd8rZY

Eric, Great video! For someone who really pops their left shoulder up too quickly, even with a driver, could you add a little of this to a driver swing?

[@CogornoGolf]

Hey Jim! Thanks! Yes.

[@gtflyer]

Ahh, this clears up a lot of how the upper body should move. I was getting to much rearward tilt..Thanks Eric..

[@CogornoGolf]

My pleasure-hope it helps!

[@jorgeschmidt4058]

Eric, great video! Have you ever considered doing videos on comparing different teaching styles such as GG vs Mike Bender for example. Thanks!

[@CogornoGolf]

Hey Jorge! We have not! Maybe in the future!

[@richardbronson7129]

Great video this is the secret to great ball striking

[@CogornoGolf]

It can definitely help....especially people who have the segments out of place (one drastically in front or behind the other)

[@TrojanMars1]

Thanks for the video. Q: have you ever considered making a video about left vs right eye dominance and how that affects ball compression? Thanks.

[@CogornoGolf]

Thanks! I have not...maybe at some point!

[@MrSniffwiff]

Quality! Makes a lot of sense to me. Swear most my fat shots are a product of when I am conscious of trying to stay centred and probably don’t move enough.

[@CogornoGolf]

Hope it helps!

[@MrSniffwiff]

All those hours of having a stick next to head, making sure I didn’t move off it or push it forward... made me always feel to rigid/stiff. This should be the catalyst to move a little more freely.

[@davepatterson3132]

Really great stuff Eric. Is it correct to say that this is more of an upper body feel to get in the proper position to hit an iron? In other words, the hips would start first or is that incorrect and the rib cage movement actually leads(?) Thanks for all the great instruction.

[@CogornoGolf]

In general terms-both going together.

[@davepatterson3132]

Eric, I have had great results with this so far. Better impact position and more centered contact. Thanks!

[@In-Rainbows]

Best teacher on the net. No doubt about it. 👏👏👏👏👏

[@CogornoGolf]

:)

[@terrybrett6164]

Wow this is just what i need to pratice great video yet again Eric.

[@CogornoGolf]

Hope it helps!

[@youdidist]

thanks

[@brettcoleman6467]

Hey Eric, what is a good launch monitor to hit practice shots indoors during the winter

[@CogornoGolf]

How much $$ you willing to spend

[@brettcoleman6467]

I did a little research, but i have seen some as high as $2000, i would be looking for something that shows distance, and ball path?

[@brettcoleman6467]

Eric Cogorno Golf i saw the sc100 for $139, it does not show ball flight path, but swing speed, distance and smash factor. The comments are all positive, just looking for a pro perspective

[@brettcoleman6467]

THanks Eric, i ended up with the sc200 as prices are dropping on them. Your videos are awesome, have saved them all since i discovered them. Every time i am struggling with a portion of my swing, i revisit the appropriate video. Keep them coming, Happy Holidays

Excellent merci beaucoup
