[@FlyWithMe_666]

Thanks for the video, it really helped med a lot. By pushing the whole body (too much) forward as the first drill, I really started getting the feel for the proper weight shift for the first time ever. I found it even easier when I started the backswimg a few inches left of the ball to get into a more “flowing motion”, this made the transition/shift forward feel even more natural. Maybe this helps other students, too.

[@CogornoGolf]

👊Love it! Great to hear this one helped your game!

[@pohoresky]

Great video on how to shift weight forward in down swing. Must see video on a fundamental aspect of golf swing. Great starting point when learning golf.

[@CogornoGolf]

Thanks, Harold!

[@chadchristman443]

Brave man in the background!! Surely he can see the video and hear Eric giving instruction. He should stop and watch!! :)

[@einstu]

He's having the exact problem as me. Can't get on the right foot

[@andrewharmon9720]

Cheers mate 👍 great way of explaining it. I've been leaning back for 20 years but thankfully i am on the mend thanks in particular to the first half of this video. You have one new subscriber

[@CogornoGolf]

Appreciate you being here with us, Andrew! Hope this helps!

[@easyswing007]

I definitely hang back, looks like a easy drill to do will give it a try.

[@CogornoGolf]

Hope it serves you well!👊

[@smoker3998]

This video was one of your very best! My playing partners often say to me after an iron shot, that was an arm swing. I did not fully turn and finish correctly and got stuck on my back foot. I'm really looking forward to trying this out. What do I do for the driver swing?

[@CogornoGolf]

Thanks, Evan For driver: setup is different and head more back in downswing/follow through. Watch these I explain that kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHu5d3l_fMZjnJY kzbin.info/www/bejne/invXqWCni7iajLc kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJuWoaxvn79pp5o

[@ashleywalls4097]

Dude in the background is 100% the best part of this video.

[@jeffp2001]

What’s more likely to cause hang back closed club face at top of swing or steep downswing? Thx

[@CogornoGolf]

Hey Jeff! Obviously there could be many factors at play to make the golfer hang back on their trail side...but an open club face and/or steep shaft in the downswing often results in poor body motions through the ball in general (lack of rotation and trail side bend "early extension", early releasing/flipping, not shifting and extending the hips UP and FORWARD towards the target enough etc.) Here are some videos you may enjoy checking out with more details on these pieces! kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJ21q52Lq6iFobc kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZW2fJRqeb5niaM kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnXdapWwgK6Lesk

[@ryandavidtrapasso]

Great video! Eric, I have a bad lead leg that doesn’t hold weight well or for long. I do shift but not as much as I should, probably mental/subconscious. And I never finish fully on my left leg or up on my right toe. Any conceptual thoughts? All I can think of is maybe a narrower stance and an open stance to take the pressure off

[@CogornoGolf]

Hey Ryan! Yeah there will be a bit of trial and error there for sure....my first thought would be to try more open stance that will help pre set low point more forward. You may very likely need to feel like you swing more to the right to off set that. Maybe try ball position a touch more back as well.

[@ryandavidtrapasso]

@@CogornoGolf will do, thanks so much

[@jamespark3399]

My biggest issue is hanging back. Great video.

[@CogornoGolf]

Thanks, James! Hope it helps!!

[@legend9018]

Great video although I couldn’t take my eyes off guy in background in sandals with yellow driver lol. Seriously a good way to encourage moving that divot forward and catching ball first.

[@CogornoGolf]

Thank you!!

[@carterlove6843]

I start over twisting my foot so should I put more weight on my back foot

[@CogornoGolf]

Hey Carter! No I wouldn't add more weight I would just learn to bank and rotate the foot correctly. Specific details here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zqetn2quYtypppY&pp=ygUXRXJpYyBDb2dvcm5vIHJpZ2h0IGZvb3Q%3D

[@anthonyburris3273]

What conditions contribute to naturally getting the weight forward? Just trying to understand the cause and effect…ie will proper extension or weight transfer lead to the desired result

[@CogornoGolf]

Hey Anthony! I have found nothing over my years of coaching that guarantees weight shift other than doing it. Its like standing on the edge of a pool....at some point you either jump or dont....not much else to say there.

[@CogornoGolf]

Here are some more FEELS/drills that will help you kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHu0n5J8r7uhoMk

[@czf2708]

I have trouble with this at times for various reasons. As far as feel, is this a “pull” or “shift” originating from the front side or a “push” from the backside at transition? Positions are one thing, just curious what you’d consider the sensation to be.

[@CogornoGolf]

Hey! Neither are correct nor wrong really. I feel more of a FALL into the lead side then a PUSH from the trail side later kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHu0n5J8r7uhoMk kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYfdfWCler55r6M

[@xanderj822]

This is my issue. I get a bit static over the ball. I seem to block my driver to the right, but can still hit my irons ok.

[@CogornoGolf]

Hope this one helps!

[@billtipps1010]

My issue is lifting my right heal too soon, which then causes me to slide through the ball, thus creating thin or topped shots. How do I fix that?

[@CogornoGolf]

Keep the clubhead under trail foot like I show but feel like it stays under until well past impact

[@CogornoGolf]

here are other drills/feels to fix that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKPRhpWZqp6fpLM kzbin.info/www/bejne/apaQaaKqo56UnZY kzbin.info/www/bejne/ganZe6Cnpqeqirs

[@CKGolfer]

Like that guy behind you.

[@mikepryor3801]

Great video as always. Will this help with getting to the proper impact position with shaft lean? Watched the video of you and JT about starting the downswing and can see some similarities.

[@CogornoGolf]

For sure its part of it!

@@CogornoGolf Thanks Eric!

[@annefilippobertozzi7601]

Hi, Eric, It’s funny that instead of the issue you solve with this video, I have the issue of the guy behind you… It seems I’m going too forward in my finish and it’s horrible to see: can you also solve that? Thanks.

[@CogornoGolf]

Hey! Yes.....you want to put an object over your lead shoulder to keep your head back Hips and weight forward but head stays back until the very end I like these drills for this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHi0oqWHptCVe7s kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppPci6OfidOBors kzbin.info/www/bejne/npPWeat5aMd8rZY

I only have this issue with a driver?

[@CogornoGolf]

I see that a lot Debra....same fixes!

[@patiossa]

Are you literally pushing off of your right foot? Or are your hips pulling your body forward?

[@CogornoGolf]

Both!

[@johnturner1476]

Same thoughts with the driver?

[@CogornoGolf]

Yep! Some driver vs iron differences here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/invXqWCni7iajLc

[@joshsparham]

Is the idea the same with the driver? Sorry haven't watched the full video yet

[@CogornoGolf]

Yep! There are some key differences with driver mainly SETUP and head more back in downswing we go over more in these: kzbin.info/www/bejne/invXqWCni7iajLc kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJuWoaxvn79pp5o

[@thegrindtopar]

This is going to be huge for me. I think one thing that's causing me to hang back is when I rotate up to my backswing, my trail leg/hip rotate more trailside than leadside. How I can I get the feel of having it rotate towards lead side?

[@CogornoGolf]

These should help with backswing hip movements....object right of trail hip and work right hip about 1 inch off that toward target kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJOkXmBnrbx6qcU This one also should help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/poHPcnyLl6yHhbs

Hard to concentrate as that guy behind you was brilliant

[@CogornoGolf]

Thanks for watching :)

[@Tom-ok2rh]

You make getting through to your left side look so easy. But moving everything forward aren’t you getting ahead of the shot and won’t be able to catch up?

[@CogornoGolf]

Key is as your body moves forward your HEAD still stays back over the ball through impact until about arms parallel in follow through kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJ-6eaCZZrujnKM

[@Tom-ok2rh]

@@CogornoGolf Thanks for the reply and the suggested video I just watched. I will try to incorporate all of the drills to get my lower body past the ball post impact and try to keep my head back. They were easy to follow now the trick is to see some positive results 👍👍

[@foreshow1]

My left won’t roll, the left toes plant, can’t turn

[@CogornoGolf]

Try flaring out foot more if needed

[@chestermicek]

Simply put, your favorite junk & your belly button must be ahead of the golf ball at impact. A good drill is to set up with your jewels ahead of the ball & do your swing. In fact, you can play darn good golf if you set up this way & pretend that you are hitting a hockey stick, slap shot. If you get your crown jewels in position & you hit the ball with your right shoulder going down & out, you'll be way better than 85% of the duffers out there.
