How To Stop Standing Up In The Golf Swing

[@trunkten31]

Eric I owe u for lessons. The amount of info you've given me on KZbin is invaluable. I'd love to show u my old golf swing to the new one you've helped me create!

[@CogornoGolf]

:) Love to hear you've made nice progress and enjoy the videos! Thanks for watching!

[@johnmccreary1554]

I can’t explain how great this video is. I took a couple of lessons with Claude Harmon lll and this video fully explains what he was trying to convey. My ball striking has improved 100%. Claude said that contact is king and this video does just that.

[@CogornoGolf]

Thank you! Awesome to hear of your progress!

[@3putt548]

Looking forward to doing the exercise you are showing and hopefully implementing at the range. Early extension costs me at least 5-6 strokes per round. Many thanks!

[@CogornoGolf]

Hope this one helps your game!

[@steviek6484]

Damn that is such a good concept. Right rib cage crunching into left leg. Weight inside big toe.

[@CogornoGolf]

I liked that one well!!

[@blanchegreen3218]

(Larry San Diego) I miss your Monday live instructional series but your KZbin content is off the charts and thanks for a golf changing enjoyment drill!

[@CogornoGolf]

Thanks Larry!

[@rayalbertini711]

Eric, fantastic drill and lesson to fix a bad habit I continue to eliminate from my game. Thanks again for all of your help.

[@CogornoGolf]

Our pleasure, Ray! Thanks for watching!

A tip I got from a scratch player on the range today that worked better for me than swinging my right arm under a static left arm as per this video lesson (which I have tried many times over the years). This is a swing thought (feel vs real) that you can use while hitting shots. On the downswing.., through impact, think of sending the lead arm high and the trail arm low (you must think of both arms). Do a number of reps without a club - turn to the top with hands in normal swing position - swing down with the lead arm going high (full extension) and the trail arm going low. As the fellow said to me on the range - the alligator open mouth follow through. I have been working on improving my side bend and getting my lead arm off my chest in the downswing (getting stuck) - this swing thought did both (at least today it did).

[@CogornoGolf]

That can work!

[@geoffbridgeman4625]

Another great collaboration, you’re knocking it out of the park lately with these collaboration lessons

[@CogornoGolf]

Thank you, Geoff!

[@erikgeiser8226]

This is so good! I have been standing up through impact my whole life and was told incorrectly to “ smother” the ball with my chest. This drill fixes this. Thanks!

[@CogornoGolf]

Thanks Erik! Our pleasure!

[@wraithconscience]

Great stuff! Thanks Eric and thanks Robert! Loving it!

[@CogornoGolf]

Thank you!

[@pohoresky]

Indeed you can learn so much by not hitting a ball to inrain a desired feeling- side bend plus rotation is key for ball turf contact

[@CogornoGolf]

Thanks for watching, Harold!

[@jamesfitzgerald8223]

Good deal and good drill. I struggle with standing up in the follow through on the course. Thanks for sharing

[@CogornoGolf]

Our pleasure, James! Thanks for watching!

[@carlosfreitasdasilva9150]

Eric, It seems very helpful. Will do that in the range. Thanks, Carlos

[@CogornoGolf]

Our pleasure, Carlos! Hope it helps!

[@BrianSinkiewicz]

Bingo I needed this video 👍

[@CogornoGolf]

Brian!! Cant believe we got a youtube comment out of you!!!! What a way to start my morning :)

[@bigk9598]

Thanks Eric!, soon as I saw this video I knew this was a massive missing part of my swing👍

[@CogornoGolf]

Thank you for watching!

[@robbosch3449]

Pretty amazing video. When I try the drill with the club being held up by my left hand, my left hip barks at me. But during my regular swing, my left hip never hurts. That tells me my regular swing isn't even close to what it should be. Shocking! OK..not shocking :) This drill will help loosen up my hip a little bit, and get my downswing working the way it should. Eric...you rock. Thanks!

[@CogornoGolf]

Thank you for watching, Rob! Our pleasure!

[@GregJC]

Exactly what I’ve been struggling with, thanks Eric!

[@CogornoGolf]

Our pleasure, Greg!

[@brokenspell4851]

This is great video. Here’s my question. On a granular level what is the first thing to move as you transition into the downswing. For a right handed golfer I thinks it’s the left knee making a lateral shift towards the target.

[@CogornoGolf]

Thank you! When the tour average is measured on 3D, we'll see the hips begin moving forward towards the target first as the arms, hands and club are still working up and back. You may enjoy checking out these videos for more details! kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6rGlp1tasiMf9E kzbin.info/www/bejne/hnLUiZ1qiMynrqM

[@brokenspell4851]

@@CogornoGolf awesome, thanks for the feedback. I’ll check those videos out.

[@cjvr1953]

Terrific drill.

[@CogornoGolf]

Thank you!

[@thomasfraser9072]

Caution: setting up to the ball correctly is essential and know that the side bending ( crunching ) must occur at the exact same moment and degree your body is rotating or else injury will occur. Ouch! It happened to me several years ago. So yes the drill you have shown must be mastered before one swings their club. Cheers

[@CogornoGolf]

👊👊

[@johnmccreary1554]

Gold !

[@CogornoGolf]

Thanks John!

[@johnc7863]

So close! Thought it would fix my flip but just another in a long line of drills that don't help. My body just loves the flip feeling 😂

[@CogornoGolf]

Hey John! Here is a video that may help with that flip/early release: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZW2fJRqeb5niaM Hope it helps your game!

[@johnc7863]

@@CogornoGolf Thanks! Haven't given up yet

[@Ergonz]

This drill is awesome for keeping me in posture but now I find myself fatting the ball because I’m still throwing my hands at it do you have any suggestions to help?

[@CogornoGolf]

Hey there! I think these three videos will help you out a lot with the fatting👍 kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6Wqg5lpe7iMaZY kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2HLp4qsg5ykjac kzbin.info/www/bejne/jajQkGmOoLOeeLc Hope this is helpful!

[@CogornoGolf]

I would suggest this one as well kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6Wqg5lpe7iMaZY

[@kendallowens8566]

I thought that by this point in the swing, weight was supposed to be on the left side. How do you then put pressure like he said on the inside of the right big toe?

[@CogornoGolf]

Hey Kendall....it is MOSTLY left but not ALL left.....if its not ALL left that means SOME is still on right......the SOME on the right is where he mentioned..

[@dripsa]

hey Eric! thanks for the video. I feel this is an absolute fantastic drill - if done right. but how can you ensure that you keep doing it correctly as it's quite easy to manipulate the club when it's not planted, and when it is planted, you won't notice it falling or moving that much to the extent that you let it go if you do stand up early? hope that makes sense

[@dripsa]

Okay nevermind. When I tried it I felt the difference immediately. Did it a few 100 (?) times, got the feel and slowly incorporated it with slow small swings and half swings, and the full swings on video. I think this is a gamechanger for me. Struggling with ET, I tried the wall/chair, rotating hips feel, nothing worked as well as this with keeping my bum against the line on video. This is great drill and can't wait to hit the range. Am I supposed to feel like I look like Fleetwood when I swing? 😂 Insane sidebend and I'll probably be stiff tomorrow

[@CogornoGolf]

Yeah I hear ya and good question... at the end of the day with any move (or drill) I would always suggest using video when you do it so you can see exactly what you are really doing and adjust!

[@dripsa]

@@CogornoGolf sorry to get back to this one Eric, but this drill on the range today before most shots. At address I did the move again as a reminder. Lo and behold, I'm doing the Matt Wolfe wiggle without even trying to. I'm guessing that's why he does it too?

[@CKGolfer]

Good, good, good.

[@CogornoGolf]

Thanks!

[@blanchegreen3218]

(Larry/San Diego) would you say doing this drill could help correct or address early extension?

[@CogornoGolf]

100% Larry! Yes!

[@milo74156]

I thought the reason that I was standing was that I felt too close to the ground now I gotta feel closer

[@CogornoGolf]

haha...well it all depends really. someones people DO get too close and then stand up....especially on backswing. Some players get closer to ground in backswing THEN stand up in downswing. If anything I would reverse that. If I could see your swing I could tell you in 2 seconds what's the issue and how to fix....send videos to www.cogornoogolf.com if you don't get it sorted we can fix there!

[@journeyman291]

Must be doing something wrong. I try that and it hurts my lower back thru the turn

[@CogornoGolf]

Would need to see your swing on video to say for sure. Don't hurt yourself!

[@Zanzabar5]

I look at that right shoulder drop and all i think of is duffing it.

[@CogornoGolf]

Hey there! The trail shoulder works DOWN, yes, but it also works FORWARD. The forward component will help to move your low point forward. This is a key concept we explain in more detail here👍 kzbin.info/www/bejne/hYLPfaWEo8qjha8 Hope this helps!

[@nunyo7259]

This is why KZbin golf instrction can completely mess you up. Not you personally Eric but the other guy just said you want to lower the lead hip now this guy says you don't lol I think I'm strickly relying on hard numbers from here on out lol

[@rmcmillanrmcmillan]

Thank you so much for your response and I’m sorry for any confusion the feeling is sidebend when you sidebend the left hip will get higher on the way through this in turn will keep the right hip Lower you’re not trying to bend your trail knee to get your right hip towards the ground I hope that helps and again I’m sorry for any confusion

[@rmcmillanrmcmillan]

I meant to say length in the lead side increase the height of the left hip on the way through this will decrease the length of the right hip which in turn will be slightly closer to the ground than the left hip

[@CogornoGolf]

Hey nunyo! I see what you're saying.... Maybe this will help.... The lead hip goes up......for all golfers....of all time. No if ands or buts about it. When coaches talk about the pelvis going DOWN..... Thats only for the VERY VERY VERY beginning of the downswing.......THEN....it goes up. The left hip is lower than the right hip at the top of the backswing due to the bending of the legs and tilt of pelvis The lead hip is lower when you start down because it was lower at the top....if it goes MORE down...its a fraction of a second....then up You may like this one kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2OTiaSdlKaJbqM

[@nerd9992]

side bend is wrong.
