He Couldn't Believe How Easy This Makes The Downswing

[@thapelomaseko7540]

hello Eric, I watched this video and all I can say is, you are a good teacher. With very simple and easy to follow instruction on what to do.

[@CogornoGolf]

Thank you very much! Hope it helps!

[@ronlangfus4946]

This was one of the best lesson videos I’ve seen. Keep up the great work.

Thank you!

[@5195384595]

Completely agree. Awesome

[@bruceford9413]

The real gem here for most of us there is a limit to what we can fix in a given amount of time. KZbin presenters are releasing content so often that much will not be something we should work on before we largely complete ome or two necessary changes and go on to the next thing. You really meed to see a qualified teacher. Yes it costs money but it will save you so much time and produce better results than digging it out of the dirt. Been there.

[@CogornoGolf]

100% agreed!

[@georgesaltamach7386]

Loved every minute of this lesson. Am I able to book a lesson with you?

[@CogornoGolf]

Thanks George! All of my in person spots are filled at the moment but if you send an email to [e-mail] with subject "lessons" we will keep you in the loop if more spots open or anyone cancels! If open to online coaching send swings into to www.cogornogolf.com we can fix swing issues there!

[@TheRealLanceCummings]

This is *much more useful than teaching guys who already have low handicaps. This is taking a normal guy, who can occasionally crunch the ball, but who's scores are all over the place, and showing him how to make big improvements.

[@CogornoGolf]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@beamblake]

Eric, after over 100 videos online, this is without question, the BEST video I've ever seen to fix my consistent mistakes of hitting my shots left with a definite pull and then 30-40% fat shots. The weight shift to 60% to my left side and closing my shoulders with my right arm lower than my left will and IS making a definite difference. I can't thank you enough for this INCREDIBLE instruction !!!

[@CogornoGolf]

So glad this one helped my friend!! Thanks for the support!

[@robinhilliard8239]

Bringing me back to this awesome video on weight/balance, which I have struggled with lately, particularly with wt inside of the left foot (I did not know inside!) and inside right foot (60/40) takes my breath away. This explains so much with my terrible balance issues. This combined with your other video I just viewed, reinforcing importance on starting rt shoulder higher (like the "k" I believe) toward left shoulder down.. bingo.. and I will feel back in business and confident playing my round this afternoon! I had been hitting long and straight, and on next shot totally out of whack out of balance and lifting and overswinging. Your instruction helps greatly with my consistency! Thank you thank you!

[@CogornoGolf]

So glad to hear the videos have helped, Robin! Thanks for being here with us!

Wow!!! I am blown away Eric. You are such a great teacher. Your student and I have the same issues (pulls to the left and fat shots). I am practicing in my kitchen and when I go the range, I can already see positive changes. Thank you so much.

[@CogornoGolf]

Thanks for your support my friend! Hope this one helps your game!

[@GrumpyGolf4]

Eric - you've boiled things down again perfectly. Hitting the ball from the inside is exactly like taking an outside pitch to right field (for a right handed batter) in basebal. Perfect example. You are so good at explaining these things simply so that your students can understand the concepts...it's a real gift.

[@CogornoGolf]

I appreciate that :)

[@trumantiger7378]

This entire lesson is a nugget Eric. I've already watched it 3 times. I've been grinding to figure out why I cannot keep from coming over the top. I suspect that your point about the right arm being lower than the left at address is my major kryptonite. My current setup has the right arm 1000% on top of the left. No way you don't come over the top from there. Having taken a few practice swings with your proposed setup, the inside path is paved. It also makes my turn sequence way better. As always, you are the man!

[@GB-xh7hv]

I am in the same boat as you lol. Did not realize that my trail arm was not behind the left. Makes a difference

[@CogornoGolf]

Great video as usual Eric. Its really helpful to include us in your teachings to others. It helps make the content more relatable to see someone who may have the same tendencies that the viewer is struggling with. Also love the emphasis on how long it should take to work on tweaks over the course of several months. It helps me remember to not try and work on too many things at once before one aspect is fixed over many many sessions. Thanks for the content!

Hi Eric, I’m a beginner golfer and I’m just trying to get a basic swing together. Even though I’m not as good as the chap in the video, it’s refreshing to see someone actually deliver a lesson to a person who actually needs it, rather than a pro just showing how to hit perfect shots and making it look easy. Well done, liked and subscribed. If I was closer I’d pop in for a lesson.

[@BrianH020]

😂 This guy (I'm NOT ragging on him at all) almost perfectly described my game, everything from libel to shoot in the 90s to 100, but could be in the 80s looking like I know what I'm doing, and is most likely to hit pulls! I swear that is exactly how I would describe my current game to you Eric. However, working on better hip turn (as I've mentioned in other video comments) as well as I know I have a tendency to set up with feet more or less square but shoulders open. Working on that one too... I do work on trying to bring the club more in on the backswing, but I guess I'm always afraid of coming too far from the inside too soon... Love that phrase, "Feel weird and goofy but look correct." 😀 Wish I were a tiny bit closer to you (just south of Baltimore) I'd come see you for an in-person lesson in a heartbeat! Until then, thank you Eric as always for the easy to understand and implement tips and feels. I feel like this was my own personal virtual lesson!

[@kswas2784]

Great lesson. I was wondering though why you didn't have him flare his left foot out as he kept it square which promotes too much weight transfer on the backswing away from the target which was his main issue. He also didn't have nearly enough weight forward during the swing as his left foot would spin out. Curious as to why this wasn't addressed. Thanks for the great lessons.

[@CogornoGolf]

You got it :)

[@edwardbisharat4016]

UPDATE! I have been your "online" student for several years and this 25 minute session has literally changed my game. I am back to where I was 20 years ago and in just after 4 weeks breaking 90, and the last 2 rounds breaking 80, easily. I'm hitting the ball farther and straighter than I was 20 years ago, but without the slice, just straight or a bit of a draw. It feels like cheating! I cannot believe how easy this is! I only hit about 10 buckets of balls to groove the new swing but well worth each penny! You will feel a huge change at the beginning, I wont lie. Taking it to the course is hard because of the front shoulder and feeling so closed and the right elbow bent and lower than your right arm. It feels like you are going to hit it so far right, but eventually your alignment and swing will feel more normal with each swing and the contact is crisp. For all you pullers, stick with it! Even for those of you that don't pull the ball, this will work for you too.

Great lesson Eric!! Just out of curiosity: why didnt you start with fixing his grip and posture?

[@CogornoGolf]

Thanks! I like to start with the MACRO stuff that will change the students main issues FIRST.....then clean up some of the micro stuff. He said his main issues were FAT SHOTS and PULLS. After looking at video we determined weight shift would help fix the fat shots and alignment/swing path would fix pulls. So we started there. Moving forward I would clean up some other things like hand attachment, release pattern, etc Hit the biggies that will directly effect the outcome FIRST in a lesson.....hope that helps!

Eric, a great lesson! I find that something subjective like weight distribution makes me exaggerate excessively. You had another lesson previously where I think the same concept was discussed with objective goals, namely partial swing with deliberate iron to ground contact past ball position. That has helped tremendously on the range and on the course for me.
