Wow!!!! Just tried this at the range. It completely transformed my ball striking. I picked up at least average 10 yards on all my irons. Sometimes 20 yards. It also works for driver. Best of your lessons thus far. I couldn't believe how far I was hitting with such a short backswing.

I'd like to point out something that may go unnoticed. I say unnoticed, because Eric is very good at this, and as a result you might not even recognize what's happening. And that is just how well Eric speaks. He's fortunate to have a voice that has excellent tone--very natural and engaging--but more than that, there are no hesitations as he speaks, no um/uh, no "I mean," no dreadful habits that can curse public speaking by calling attention to themselves. Eric's speaking is perfect for giving lessons. The listener is able to receive more effectively that which is being said, and that makes all the difference.

Well, he has a couple of things going for him and those should be taken into consideration. He's young, strong and I'm sure has a strong "core". Along with good golf mechanics and athletic body you too would hit like him. I remember being that strong years ago and could hit balls over the fence. Now, at 72 golf has become a very different thing altogether. The reason I watched this video is because it does make sense and especially for seniors like myself it's a good way to get some distance back into my swing but it will not ever look like Eric's excellent swing. Nice swing Eric...your instruction on this concept is excellent. You can bet I will start working on it soon.

I have never followed through correctly in 20+years, that was until today. What a difference it makes to ball striking. I was actually told after that my swing looked elegant - what at 78-years of age? I have really learnt something great from this video. Thank you Cogorno Golf

Great video again Eric. I plan on using this in the beginning of my warmup, at the range before I play. Six swings from stationary setup. Six swings with hitting the ball, club parallel to the ground. Six swings hitting the ball starting with club parallel to the ground and swinging back to maybe 3/4 and hitting the ball. Plan in place. What I like is learning to transfer your weight to the lead side properly. This will also help in hitting ball first and divot after the ball. So many extra benefits with your drill.

Wow, you're crushing it. Keep up the solid work. I duct taped 5 old clubs together and do his 1 arm drills for upwardly of 5,000 reps per day (35,000 swings per week > 140,000 plus left arm swings a month.) I no longer even need my right arm because the ball goes way too far when I use both. Like tennis, I truly believe the game was meant to be mastered with 1 arm. I'm gonna start using right arm drills but because I'm naturally right handed, I'm gonna duct tape 8 clubs together and start swinging heavier. It's a great forearm, lat and shoulder work out you even hit parts of the traps and glutes which is icing on the cake. My goal is to get to 225,000 swings a month with both 1 armed swings. Thanks

Can’t wait to try this. I used to have a finau-like half swing and hit my PW 160+ and driver 300+ easy but changed to a conventional swing after an injury and my PW went to 120 and driver to 220. After a few practice swings in the yard like this I forgot how short my old swing used to be. So much easier for me to get speed

thanks Eric for the lesson, tip. looking forward to trying this out. Just got back from the range and i saw this,, the very problem i'm having. I know where my problem lies but have not been able to fix it. starting too fast from the top of the swing. I have beautiful practice swings that feel really good, coming from inside and not rushed, but as soon as it's the real swing and i'm focused on the ball.... hurry from the top trying to generate power. I think this might be the ticket to a calmer more controlled down swing! thanks again!

I’m lucky even though I’m old I have good rotation of the hips from dressage riding. This is my new drill!!!! I’ve increased my ball speed by 30kph but only getting about 10 meters out of it.

Another good one, Eric! I'm a "recovering overswinger." Been struggling with excessive arm runoff at the top; this causes an open cf at impact, off-sync pressure shift and over-dominant upper body. When I'm playing good, I get it right.; when I fumble, I tend to spiral back to my old habits. Your videos are helping me a lot in my journey to a more compact and efficient backswing, and this one will def be part of my practice. Thanks!

@@kermitf9303 Another thing you might try is move the club so your hands are ahead of the ball with an iron before you swing to get the feeling of where your wrists need to be. Then on your back swing try to lock them in so they are in place. Then really focus on keeping left arm straight and work on keeping the club loose in the hands, particularly the right hand, particularly at the top of the swing. You can begin to grip the left hand a bit harder on the downswing. What this will do is allow a wider range of motion that is more natural so you aren't trying to force the club but instead relying on centriphical force or centripetal or whatever it is. On the follow through really focus on extending your arms straight in front of you. A lot of people have a tendency to "chicken wing" either on the backswing or follow through with one of their arms so focusing on extending the arms and makign "circles" with your arms by keeping them straight. It might feel a little weird at first and stiff but the idea is to do it and then loosen it up a bit more. The 70-79 year old plus golfers and scratch and low single handicaps hit 212 average drive. which means their approach shot, their chip and putting games have to be on point. That said Fred Couples can still hit it 300 yards so distance probably shouldn't be as prohibitive as people think. You may want to stretch daily and possibly even consider some strength training. I don't think anyone is too old to gain a bit of muscle.

Just watched this and went to the range to practice… worked well. I know this is an issue for me so this drill was perfect timing. I feel I was getting additional 15 yards with my wedges.

I don't play much at all these days, and honestly don't have any aspirations of ever getting to sub-80 guy (which is what I once really wanted to be), but any time I am able to get a little practice in with some of Eric's ideas, I ALWAYS hit the ball better, which makes even a few rounds a year more enjoyable. Maybe one day I will actually get to commit some time to my game again, but until then, getting great foundational tips like this really helps me play better and have more fun.

That "up and back" motion loads the stretch reflex. This reminded me a time, many years ago, when I shortened my swing and started hitting the ball farther. I had forgotten about it as it was obscured by the giant pile I have amassed of more recent screwball swing theories.😏

Used the static start drill as pre-shot routine today -> 1-2 clubs more distance and straighter shots. Somehow it syncs everything and is the missing piece for the front load drill. Don't really understand why but it's magic!

I've been going to TopGolf and going to range for a while now but just started playing on courses. I just happened to come across this video. It took me about 10 minutes or so to actually get the hang of it and almost quit but then I got one really pure hit. I was like... there's no way lol. It took a few resets going up in clubs but it worked all the way through. Thoroughly happy w/ the results. I'm hitting into a net so idk if it's going straight or not but the hits felt more pure than how I was hitting. Subbed and liked. Thank you.

Great video. It was also praised and used with full credit to you by the Average Golfer, another favorite of mine. Will be working on this at the PGA Superstore practice bay this weekend. BTW, you give a perfect illustration of the brain causing you to make a swing move different or greater than what you think you are doing. At minute 4:32, where you say you will allow just a little bit more of a backswing than taking the shaft back only to parallel with the ground, you did begin with the shaft parallel, but in fact as can be seen at 4:35 you actually took a full backswing with your hands above the level of your ears. Maybe not max full, but pretty close to it. So you thought, or your brain thought, you were lifting your arms just a few inches but it was actually about two feet. Andy, the Average Golfer, stressed the point you make both at minute 1:15 to 1:59 and again at the end of this lesson, that most of us focus on trying to generate greater speed on the downswing, with the result that our brain overdoes it, focuses too much on that segment of the swing, on hitting the ball, and the subsequent segment from contact to follow-through becomes an afterthought and we actually lose speed. In contrast, if we focus on generating speed from the point of contact into a full follow through, as your no backswing drill does, our brain will automatically produce good speed on the downswing. You could say we have to fool the brain into doing the right thing.

Great advice. Just a little humble suggestion. It could be perfect to show numbers with a launch monitor when you are talking about carry distance and smash factor of a particular club maybe also the club speed so that we might have a more powerful urge to run and try those drills 😉😉

"Don't get that fake follow thru finish......" THAT has been my problem in all sports, all my life, and you've explained it in a way that I finally get it! I was a decent pitcher as a kid - but had a slow, fastball (due to fake follow thru!) For a very short time, in my 30's, I could hit a golf ball farther - I thought I was "finishing high", but really, I was having a real follow thru, by pushing all the way to a high finish! I'm sitting here on the couch, and can already feel what your drills do. I will do this drill from now on, even just warming up I think. Thank you!
