what took me so long to find this...Thanks Eric!

[@CogornoGolf]

:) Hope it helps Mark!

[@robertyu4313]

Matching the forward arm on the backswing to the alignment stick which is set at 4 o'clock is exactly the visual aide that I needed. Practicing this takeaway in my home office now. Thanks Eric!

[@CogornoGolf]

[@erichmikula8922]

My dear Eric, as a natural fader I work some times at the draw. With the loop, I learn from you, it works very well for me. Thank you very much, Erich from Vienna

[@CogornoGolf]

Love to hear that Enrich!! Our pleasure!

[@albalatbat7582]

Awesome tips Eric. Thanks and Happy New Year.

[@CogornoGolf]

Thank you my friend! Happy New Year to you!

[@garyfiscus7733]

Great tip! I am a habitual slicer & tried this at the range today ...hit 3/4 bucket with 8 iron and hit draw or straight for most of them. Hit 8 balls with driver and didn't slice any of them ! it also shortened my swing slightly and gained lot of distance :)

[@CogornoGolf]

Thanks! Love to hear that!

[@ianrobertshaw6245]

There’s very little you could do to enhance your videos because they’re already great. HOWEVER... Maybe a shot tracer would just be the icing on the cake. I mean, how do we know they’re not shanking off to the right.. Mary loves you, she’s gunna lie for you. Great stuff as always.

[@CogornoGolf]

Thanks, Ian! I agree 100%....it seems the logistics of getting them in there are tough for us at the moment. Will see what we can do.

[@louisf4073]

Thanks for your video. You should maybe explain HOW you close the club face. Either your wrist or by just taking a slightly stronger grip ? I favor the second option because it is simple. No need to loop, just keep exactly the same swing while aiming right. What is your advice ?

[@CogornoGolf]

Hey Louis! Appreciate it! For sure....I go through the details of the options here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHS6aoqVoayEqq8&pp=ygUdRXJpYyBDb2dvcm5vIHNxdWFyZSBjbHViIGZhY2U%3D And here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJ21q52Lq6iFobc&pp=ygUdRXJpYyBDb2dvcm5vIHNxdWFyZSBjbHViIGZhY2U%3D

[@CogornoGolf]

Appreciate it my friend! Glad to hear the videos have helped!

[@kimcaradonna4406]

Your teaching methods are second to none. I have been a huge fan since January 2020. My game continues to make long term improvements. Thank you so much!

[@CogornoGolf]

Glad to hear that, Kim! Appreciate you being here with us!

[@wmbishop22]

Great demonstration and lesson! Looking forward to working on this next week! Thanks again! If you have a short iron fade tutorial and when/why to play draws/fades into greens would be great!

[@CogornoGolf]

Thanks, Billy!

[@MegaChipster]

Excellent Eric thanks. Great detail. My local pro showed me just how much you can draw/hook the ball by really closing the cub head in whilst aligning feet to aim right and swinging along that line.

[@CogornoGolf]

Love it, Tim! Appreciate it!

[@rfrank1911]

This is an awesome visual! Thank you for putting excellent content out to assist with making improvements to my game. I’ve added some of the tweaks you’ve suggested and have already seen Improvements in just a few weeks!

[@boydbowman9838]

Precise and simple excellent video Thank you Robert

[@CogornoGolf]

Thanks, Boyd!

[@mtnmankeith]

Eric. Really enjoy your videos, concepts and methods. Thx. -I know most of the "click-bait" videos are geared toward bandaids for the 90% of golfers who slice the ball. Maybe something for the rest of us who spend most of our day on the left side of the golf course? -I tend to come through 1*-2* closed to target with a decidedly inside path . I can make the ball curve left no problem. It's getting the ball to start right of target line and then only coming back to center (as opposed to "straight-hooks/pull-hooks/snap-hooks/big monster draws. Also, if i close my hips like you show i really struggle to get my hips and shoulders to clear.

[@CogornoGolf]

Thanks for the feedback, Keith! Absolutely! At your level and knowing as much as you do you would be much better served getting specific feedback and building a plan with a coach. Sign up at www.cogornogolf.com so we can help or find a good coach to work with

[@joevladovich2075]

Great video and explanation on how to hit a draw. I’ve never mastered this and am looking forward to learning how to achieve this shot to add to my repertoire.

[@CogornoGolf]

Thanks! Hope it helps, Joe!

[@PVVI2015]

Very clear explanation! I’m looking forward to practicing this! Thank you😊

[@CogornoGolf]

Hope it helps, Elaine!

[@youngguns996]

Thanks Eric! Great instruction and very easy to understand. 🏌️‍♂️

[@CogornoGolf]

Appreciate it!

[@makeachangetoday]

Put the lessons in use and hitting great shots with my irons now! Thanks

[@CogornoGolf]

Love it, Charles.

[@gilbertbernal6943]

Really helpful video Eric. Thanks for this. Wish there's a ball tracker added in the video. Would really be good to see how the ball draws from right to left.

[@CogornoGolf]

Thanks, Gilbert! Agreed....we are working on it...it seems we are having a tough time with some of the logistics.

[@raywoody9737]

Excellent video Eric. Would you consider making a companion video that would cover the setup, backswing, and downswing pieces for executing an intentional fade?

[@CogornoGolf]

Thanks, Ray! Maybe!

[@jamespark3399]

Eric This is superb. Jim from Scotland 👍👍

[@CogornoGolf]

Appreciate it!

[@rogerdriscoll8637]

[@Samoan59]

awesome and you make it very simple .

[@CogornoGolf]

[@mysteryman5213]

Excellent presentation Eric. Thanks for the detailed explanation. I have a quick question. Would this same process carry over when hitting my driver?

[@CogornoGolf]

Thanks! Yes

[@rajeshramkumar866]

Great lesson!! Eric, recommend using a tracer as well for the perfect effect!

[@CogornoGolf]

Appreciate it!

[@mikec8161]

2nd that, seeing the ball track is key. Great lesson Eric!!!

[@LOHO8682]

Always good content and thought process to work up to a technique, it does take time. Request, how to hit a power fade? My game is already right to left. Left to right doglegs are my challenge.

[@CogornoGolf]

Thanks, Lee! Start here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqDWmXSFbJuVmas

[@airbuspilot1082]

Another great video Eric! I'm a bit confused. In another video with your friend John Dunigan (?) about rotating the arms. Is the arm rotation discussed in that video to be used as a normal part of all golf swings regardless of draw, fade or straight shot? In other videos you say the club head should match your spine initially in the follow thru. Can you explain? It seems that in general Golf instructors don't seem to want arm rotation saying it's too hard to time squaring the club face. Thanks!

[@waltjames9371]

Good information and explanation. You can't really play if you can't draw the ball!

[@CogornoGolf]

Thanks, Walt!

[@scubasteve461]

Excellent vid!! Simple steps to work on. One question, you don’t consider any grip change??

[@CogornoGolf]

Thanks! Nope.

[@jasonlee3842]

Seems like a stack and tilt oriented swing!

[@CogornoGolf]

100%! Great way to draw the ball!

[@CoachCal00]

Which iron (if any) is recommended to start with on practicing the draw?

[@CogornoGolf]

Hey there! 8 or 9 iron is always a nice place to start👍

[@russellwilkerson5381]

Eric - love your instruction! You are the master. What would you change if you start hitting hooks with this stacking of recommendations? Thank you!!

[@CogornoGolf]

Stack less!

[@CogornoGolf]

Make sure you have enough body rotation in follow through and the club/hands work back around your body to the left in follow through not right forever

[@AlexBailey815]

Well done

[@CogornoGolf]

Thanks, Alex!

[@ronjacobson5112]

just love your lessons. However, I have a question. I have very limited use of my left hand due to old football injuries and horses trying to do a number on me. I have pins in my thumb area which make it painful to turn my left wrist too much. Could I start with my clubface close quite a bit before the takeaway? thank you, Eric.

[@CogornoGolf]

Hey Ron! Thank you for the kind words and support! The short answer is that I do not know. I would need to see how you can/cannot use your left hand and work through some possible solutions. I would think what you mentioned is an option or probably a much stronger grip. If you have your left hand grip turned more clockwise you won't need to have as much wrist flexion or lead arm rotation kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYK0hqyIo7eGgLc kzbin.info/www/bejne/bnTKY4Jultmgj7s

[@stevenmyers9300]

Which irons and woods are best for drawing the ball? SteveM

[@CogornoGolf]

Hi Steven! I would highly recommend going to a great club fitter and you two can work out what specific clubs (and potential adjustments that could be made to said clubs) are best for your swing and would help you find your desired ball flight👍

[@jimgold5582]

Eric you're the best let's go Eagles

[@CogornoGolf]

:)

[@danielarmstrong2685]

More excellent instruction

[@CogornoGolf]

Thanks, Daniel!

[@elliotkim2349]

I like this method having the foot back because I don't have to overcompensate my swing to make a draw

[@CogornoGolf]

:) Thanks for watching, Elliot!

[@stevericci3205]

Eric, does this apply to the driver as well? On the downswing, because you are coming "inside", are you also hitting the inside quarter of the ball? Thanks!

[@CogornoGolf]

Yep

[@louisf4073]

Hi Eric, as usual, very interesting. Does it help to have a two plane backswing to create a draw trajectory ? The shallower the club, the easier. Do you agree ? Louis

[@CogornoGolf]

Hey Louis! Well, technically speaking.....yes. But in terms of real work application....not always. Some people find it easier going back on a plane closer to way down. Backswing only matters to the degree it effects the downswing movement.....we can make anything work.

[@terrybrett6164]

Eric do you try to keep your right elbow low in the backswing. I'm doing this and it's straightened my driving.

[@CogornoGolf]

Hey Terry! I persoanlly do not. But that does not mean you should nor should not. I would need to see your swing to say specifically what you should/should not do. Join www.cogornogolf.com so you can send me your videos and I can help guide

[@youfindwhatyoulookfor6444]

Awesome

[@CogornoGolf]

Thank you!

[@dripsa]

Hey Eric, long time. When will you do that thing again where you analyse someone's swing and recommend fixes? I love that shit

[@CogornoGolf]

Haha thanks man! Not sure...will see what happens! No plans as of right now but that could change!

[@gopalnarayan6136]

This is awesome video. Thanks Eric. Is this applicable to Drivers as well?

[@CogornoGolf]

Thanks, Yup

[@garynaim4700]

Can you explain the left wrist bow a little better

[@geneczap5614]

Eric, is this the same setup for a push draw?

[@CogornoGolf]

Yup

[@VimMitt]

I tried all these still pushing the ball in woods with no draw. Very frustrating .

[@CogornoGolf]

Sounds like a lesson may be in order :)

[@totalpackagehealthcare7257]

do you feel relaxed with this setup?

[@CogornoGolf]

Yup

[@jirimondo]

How about the grip??? Wrong grip makes it really hard to draw the ball no matter how one does everything else.

[@CogornoGolf]

Yup! start here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6Crn6yro650jdk Would love to cover it all in each video but we would be like 1-2 hours each video :)

[@antonyluckshman6286]

Very similar to Stack and Tilt but much simpler explanation

[@CogornoGolf]

Thanks Andrew. Most all of Stack and Tilt is simply an explanation of what good players do. If the weight going toward the target so much wasn't exaggerated by some people as it went down the line it would just be a great method to draw the ball

[@Dreama40]

Loving these videos tbh, but I've just shattered my hip and have to have a total hip replacement and they are telling me i'm out for up to 6 months :-(

[@CogornoGolf]

Hope you feel better soon

[@Dreama40]

@@CogornoGolf Thanks Eric, long road ahead but can't wait to get back out there and try these new tips.

[@hwy1310]

What works for me......moving the right foot slightly back (as you mentioned) and visualizing the club head being below my right shoulder at the top of my backswing. (Not “across the line” at the top - slice city for me). Also, I strengthen my grip slightly to close the club face. At least that’s what it feels like.

[@CogornoGolf]

That all sounds like you are on the right path! Love it!

[@hwy1310]

@@CogornoGolf thanks Eric. You have a knack for breaking down golf movements that happen in a matter of seconds. Slowing everything down to help us understand those movements. I enjoy your instruction.
