GOLF: The Only Two Drills You Need For The Perfect Golf Swing Takeaway

[@cma3436]

This is by far one of the best lessons I've ever had or watched, totally free, totally spot on, and for that I am grateful sir. Thank you!

[@CogornoGolf]

My pleasure, Cody! Appreciate it!

[@markb4475]

There is only one other golf tutor on YT that comes close to this guy, its not just the mechanics of the swing but what you should be feeling and tips to get to that point, brilliant content!!!

[@CogornoGolf]

Appreciate it, Mark!

[@SL0409]

Its all utter nonsense and shouldnt even be a thought in your head

[@grahamepepper2067]

The best 6 minutes of instruction I have ever had, I have worked on Erics drill and they it's game changing !!

[@CogornoGolf]

Love to hear this!!

[@hlubmos2chah945]

Great drill! Not only feel Right, but also in control. Will put to use. Thanks.

[@CogornoGolf]

Appreciate it! Hope it helps!

[@anthonydefrenza4509]

Thanks Eric. I am a 5 handicapper and have always struggled during rounds hitting occasional bad shots until I saw this video. No one has ever isolated this as a swing fault and I have had plenty of teachers look at my swing. So I practiced these drills before my round today and I was hitting nothing but lasers today on the course and almost a hole in one from165. It’s amazing how one simple fix changes the entire swing. THANK YOU!!!!!!

[@CogornoGolf]

Yessir! Good stuff. Happy to help man!

[@shawnagunn9054]

This guy is a very good instructor. I love how he give examples that are clear and easy to understand for even beginner's. I just found him and watched a couple of his video's. Went to driving range and was more consistent, gain yards with all my clubs. Hubby was watching me and he was said he was so impressed at my improvements. I am a brand new to golf beginner and i was straight and 150 to 200 yards with my 4, 5 and 6 iron. I am addicted!

[@CogornoGolf]

Awesome! Happy to help...hope future videos continue to help!

[@southchicago06]

This guy is just full of nuggets...love the way he sees the game and love the analogies. The vid with tips for maintaining a flat wrist at impact completely changed my game. I now feel good about hitting irons off the tee thanks to the increased distance and crisp contact. Can't wait to try this takeaway drill.

[@CogornoGolf]

Good stuff!

[@joegriggsjr.9748]

Eric it is amazing how I see all the things I've "in-done" thru the years because of lack of Knowledge. I see a great future for you with the simplicity in which u keep everything. Thanks alot. To say, "Sometimes one has to correct a something in the grip, takeaway, or setup" to fix the effects that one is having just got me so charged up again. I hit a brick wall after a scramble tourney but now I see what happen. So to all those people like me who people always say, " Hey, u have a beautiful, golf swing." But r very inconsistent. This video or this guy is the one. Thanks Eric.

[@CogornoGolf]

Appreciate it man. I can help you my friend

[@joegriggsjr.9748]

Eric Cogorno Golf great cause I need it. Just left the range and tried something's out. I'm liking what I see. If I am correct, should one try to over exaggerate the arm suppination in order to hit medium range? I think I was afraid to make the move although I thought I was doing it.

[@mohammadshekarforoush749]

I really like how these videos are structured. How they show causality and drills to fixing these common issues. Thank you Eric.

[@CogornoGolf]

Thanks! My pleasure my friend!

[@kenrickbrown8098]

I watched one video on the backswing, and took it to the range. Within 5-10 swings I was hitting the ball more solid, straighter, and with great accuracy. I really appreciate your lessons Eric. Thank you!

Out of the plethora of videos I’ve watched on golf swing techniques, your explanation is very clear and to the point. Thanks.

[@CogornoGolf]

Thank you

[@rons.5173]

I’ve watched this lesson numerous times but until I videotaped myself I did not realize how much I was rolling on the takeaway. Using the tee and being conscious of not rolling has worked great. Another well explained and visually appealing lesson from Eric.

[@CogornoGolf]

Love to hear that, Ron!

[@stevepeters3104]

So, so good Eric. Have noticed this move from all good ball strikers and have wondered how to bring it to my swing. You just showed me how. Saved it to my favorites to watch time and time again. Thanks!!

Thanks, Steve!! Our pleasure :)

These are both great drills, Eric. Taking the club inside is my biggest swing flaw and this is helping a lot.

Thanks, Dan! Appreciate it!

[@tonyblower1800]

Awesome easy to understand teaching , tried these drills on the range and on course it's already changed my game and confidence , and this swing method feels much more natural on the follow through I now find myself facing target with a much more relaxed swing and letting the club do the work , thanks Eric , best teaching pro on utube 😀🏌

[@CogornoGolf]

Thanks, Tony! Happy to help!

[@JensenMcD1]

This is a fantastic video and explains exactly what causes the club to go behind. For me the mention of forearm rotation is like a lightbulb moment. Other videos focus on keeping back of hand flat/pointing wrist watch to the ground/don't roll the wrists. All of these issues are caused by rolling the forearm. After all out of the wrist and hand the forearm IS the bigger muscle. So thanks Eric you've nailed it for me. Big thumbs up

[@CogornoGolf]

Exactly! Thanks man!

[@pjb1986]

Started working on this tonight at the range. I think this will really help me. Loving your content, especially like how you describe and use "feels". I've been doing a few reps of the drill, hit a few shots, then repeat. Thanks from the UK.

This is the best drill ever. I fight the inside roll of the forearm on the takeaway. My pro has been helping me, but this drill helped immensely. Practiced the move with a tee last night and had the best ball striking round on course today. Thank you! Just subscribed!

[@CogornoGolf]

Good stuff! Glad to hear that, David!

[@guylll3]

Eric, after watching your video, I have been trying to apply this lesson to my swing as I know I have been taking my club way too far away from my body which always leaves my trying to fight the inevitable slice that is going to happen. I just couldn't figure out why. When I keep my arms connected, I am hitting straighter, more solid and a s__t-ton further. Some guys in my group just look at some of my drives and 'where did you get all of that distance?" and I tell them about your video. This has truly been a game changer. I just turned 70, I play with a 40-50 age group (12 of them) and I'm not as long as a couple of them but I am always competitive. My handicap last year was a 14. It is presently a 9.3 and I the confidence I am gaining with my driver will only get it even lower. Thanks for 2 amazingly simple and well explained and demonstrated tips!

[@CogornoGolf]

Hi Eric. Had to comment here after watching this and your other video, 'Shallow your Down Swing'. I mentioned your point about the left hand pointing down on the take away on that video. I had watched this video first, and want to say holding the alignment rod work perfect. It put me in the address position perfectly. But it was not until I put the two together that I really made a huge leap forward. Your comment of "equal and opposite" really resonated with me. Two really great videos. So, thanks!

Although I'm a single digit handicap player, you have perfectly described my worst swing flaw...hands away from the body, internal rotation of the left forearm, and the clubhead inside the hands instead of outside.

I've always struggled with having a flat-ish backswing and could never find a drill that felt repeatable and natural to fix it. Your takeaway drill with the golf tee is the explanation I needed!

Thanks!

[@rays9033]

Someone commented Eric was being too repetitive on showing the wrong moves. I disagree, seeing the wrong way followed by the correct way as Eric did helped me.

[@frankschumacher666]

Your drill helps a lot! I worked on my backswing today with the tee drill and it has helped a lot. Before, i was rolling my forearm in teh takeaway and the club was coming inside a little too much. The good thing about this drill is, that your left shoulder drops the right way (in the angle of the spine) for a perfect swingplane. When you roll the forearms in the takeaway, the shoulder is on a wrong plane, the turn is almost horizontal and that screws up your whole swing. Very effective drill!!!

[@CogornoGolf]

Thats exactly right! Happy to hear it helped!

[@ianbooth2062]

Clear and concise explanation of a problem that plagued me for years. Never heard the over-rotation of left forearm bit, but it makes perfect sense. As does the part about keeping the hands close to the right thigh in the early takeaway. Much other golfing goodness in there too. Thanks for the advice!

Hey Aaran! Yeah man there's not secret there....you have to use video and compare yourself to the checkpoints in motion kzbin.info/www/bejne/boXNp3Z-eKaEZsU kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJnQk5R3Z5d9q7M Correlate your FEELS to hit the checkpoints Also keep in mind the hands in drill is an EXAGGERATION for those how's hands go too far out In reality you want hands to go over toes then through right pec then behind right shoulder

[@nathanprotz7468]

Very good info. I’ve struggled and struggled with taking it inside. My hands don’t push away as much as you show but the left arm rotation was getting me. Seeing how the hands need to stay close has helped me nail the takeaway. It feels weird but so far worked great. To add though, I’m also not cocking my wrists early enough so I also have to get the feeling that I cock them by the time my hands are hip high. Thanks for awesome video!

[@wfwwade2140]

Eric, I just discovered your channel. I enjoy watching your lessons with juniors. You have a gift for positively and effectively communicating with young people. One question regarding the takeaway; is it the same with a strong grip versus a neutral grip?

[@CogornoGolf]

Appreciate the kind words. Same basic idea, strong grip will have a tendency for more forearm rotation which gets the clubhead inside of the hands a bit more but that's okay. Some coaches would call that an "under" vs "over" pattern. Other than that same stuff

Eric Cogorno Golf I noticed that this greatly improved my accuracy, but I lost a considerable amount of distance, especially with my irons. I’ve noticed my iron shots are on line but come out low and short. Any idea what could be happening or which one of your videos might help?

[@CogornoGolf]

Not sure...that wouldnt be something I would expect. If you're hitting it shorter than normal you would look mainly at 1. Clubhead speed 2. Dynamic loft Assuming you are hitting it in the middle of the face. Would this move cause you to swing it slower? Would this move cause you to add loft? More than likely it would be a dynamic loft problem. I would start there. How to fix? Lots of ways, depends on why its happening I would have to see

I do a minimum disconnected takeaway in chip and pitch which causes the club to stand a little more upright (I can see that in videos with a line drawed through the shaft) during impact and causes toe hits. (Impact tape shows me and video as well). I thought always, that I pull my left arm back during impact and that causes the toe hits. I hope this drill helps.

Great lesson Eric thanks for your time and expertise. I grind a small point on one end of my alignment stick and then I can insert it through the end of the grip like you did with the tee. It facilitates proper grip and is not as clumsy. Thanks again

Interesting, seems to be a possibility I may need to look into, been trying all types of take aways to fix my hook, I'm a little steep on down swing, anything else I may need to explore with that takeaway tip?? Thnxs, I'll start browsing your other videos!!

[@CogornoGolf]

Would have to see your swing to say for sure. If you're steep on the way down you want to avoid hands out and roll in takeaway and you want to avoid shaft too horizontal in backswing, shaft more vertical would be ideal
