My Favorite Drill To Finally Lead With Your Hips In The Golf Swing

[@kevinwebber2822]

Wow! Exceptional video, unspeakable thanks! After watching literally thousands of golf videos, yours is the FIRST I’ve seen to explain the vital “why” and “how” of the hip movement. Also, critically, you give specific instructions with options! Very few others touch on why, how, and are specific. Brilliant!

[@CogornoGolf]

Thanks Kevin! I appreciate the kind words and support!!!

[@russquick7899]

Great session Eric. I could watch this daily to imprintthe message. As an old man-89-this is probably the most important and clearest message for my needs. You do a terrific job and it's much appreciated. Be well-Russ

[@CogornoGolf]

Thanks russ! I appreciate your continued support! Hope you are well!

[@andrenakaso7237]

Another amazing lesson and drill. Having the drills start with a half swing and working through the steps helps many of us learn. Having some of the issues identified with your student is something we all relate to. Thanks again.

[@CogornoGolf]

Thank you! Hope it serves you well!

[@vicpnut1]

This 100% is something i use to do when i was hitting the ball half decent …had a miss hit / bad round awhile back and my playing partner told me i shouldnt be shifting …i was desperate so this whole season ive been working on rotating with no shift and things have gotten so bad for me …i forgot i stopped the lateral move ,so i am so glad i came across this lesson …

[@CogornoGolf]

:) Hope this one helps ya get back on track!

[@pensfan718766]

So smart to give different perspectives on what you need to feel in terms of left side, right side, or both. That's why I keep coming back to this channel. Great job, Eric! 🎉

[@CogornoGolf]

Appreciate it :)

[@jamescraven1781]

Great set of alternative feels to get thru to the finish!. Thanks.

[@CogornoGolf]

Our pleasure, James!

[@CraigHansonGolf]

Great video Eric 👍… think i might have to borrow some of this for a future video 😉! …very insightful!

[@CogornoGolf]

What's mine is yours buddy---miss ya!

[@glennstoutenburg8349]

I’m a pretty decent golfer but have always struggled with the follow through and the finish position.. and being in balance.. I watch your videos and learn alot from them.. you explain things very well. I’ll keep working on it 😀thx

[@CogornoGolf]

Thanks Glenn! This may help with follow through as well---things broken down a bit more step by step kzbin.info/www/bejne/oKPHZoytfZ6HiJI&pp=ygUcRXJpYyBDb2dvcm5vIGZvbGxvdyB0aHJvdWdoIA%3D%3D

[@ottingervr6]

Great Video! Very simple breakdown!

[@CogornoGolf]

Appreciate it!!

[@carlosGarcia-xl1ql]

Awesome lesson… i once saw a video that Lee Trevino giving a lesson to a person was hanging is body back. He said.. imagine there is a shotgun where the ball is and it will get you if you don’t move your body forward on the downswing. If you move your hips/body towards the target on your backswing the shotgun will miss you. That is what I always tell my wife and daughters when I see their body hang back. Different visual.. but same concept!

[@CogornoGolf]

Hey Carlos! Thank you! Oh I like that one!! I've never heard of that----that should get ya motivated to move :)

[@meopai3]

thank you

[@CogornoGolf]

Our pleasure!

[@stevestrang480]

I fixed my backswing. Next step is to fix my follow through and get forward. Really helps me eliminate my worst miss- fat shots. Adds distance also

[@CogornoGolf]

I have faith in ya Steve :)

[@markkelt6239]

Eric this is def one of your best videos. Genius

[@CogornoGolf]

Appreciate it Mark!

[@garretjohnson8791]

That is great but how do you prevent head movement to the left causing steep downswing leading to inconcsistency? I've been struggling with this for years and still not sure how to correct this. Any drills you recommend for this specific issue?

[@CogornoGolf]

Hey Garret! You prevent that with RIGHT SIDE BEND So as you are shifting and turning your RIGHT SHOULDER needs to go DOWN toward right hip We go over that here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hXzUe2eXfJqqhNU&pp=ygUcRXJpYyBDb2dvcm5vIHN0YXJ0IGRvd25zd2luZw%3D%3D kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXbWqYSvrbKAldk&pp=ygUcRXJpYyBDb2dvcm5vIHJpZ2h0IHNpZGUgYmVuZA%3D%3D

[@kk2336]

Thanks EC!

[@CogornoGolf]

You got it!!

[@VimMitt]

Sir, when club drops and club hits the ball during hip clearance? Is it late or right during hip rotation?

[@CogornoGolf]

During

[@jefffletcher7335]

Does this also apply to the driver?

[@CogornoGolf]

Hey Jeff! Same idea with hips forward but head more back with driver... I go over that in more detail below: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHu5d3l_fMZjnJY&pp=ygUjRXJpYyBDb2dvcm5vIGhpcHMgZm9yd2FyZCBoZWFkIGJhY2s%3D kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKLSqZt3ltmpZ7c&pp=ygUbRXJpYyBDb2dvcm5vIGRyaXZlciB2cyBpcm9u

[@michaeldercole5176]

I have been working on this Eric Sense my last lesson with you, it is definitely helping me because I couldn’t finish the follow through, but starting to get it Ty

[@CogornoGolf]

I have faith in ya :)

[@adnanmahmood6309]

Eric, I've been watching videos of me hitting wedges and I'm already doing this. But after watching videos of myself hitting driver I don't see it. I looked up some videos of JT and I don't see this being applied to his driver swing either. Is this applicable to driver?

[@CogornoGolf]

Hey! Same for driver......but.....HEAD more BACK with driver! Combine that with wider stance and it won't LOOK as far forward generally...

[@CogornoGolf]

More on that with driver here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHi0oqWHptCVe7s&pp=ygUsRXJpYyBDb2dvcm5vIHdoeSBwcm9zIGhpdCBpdCBzbyBoaWdoIGFuZCBmYXI%3D kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHu5d3l_fMZjnJY&pp=ygUqRXJpYyBDb2dvcm5vIGRyaXZlciBoZWFkIGJhY2sgaGlwcyBmb3J3YXJk

[@carsonkubicki1770]

How does this lesson/drill apply to woods and driver?

[@CogornoGolf]

Hey Carson! Same idea with hips forward.....but HEAD MORE BACK with driver... I go over that in detail here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKLSqZt3ltmpZ7c&pp=ygUbRXJpYyBDb2dvcm5vIGRyaXZlciB2cyBpcm9u kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHu5d3l_fMZjnJY&pp=ygUqRXJpYyBDb2dvcm5vIGRyaXZlciBoaXBzIGZvcndhcmQgaGVhZCBiYWNr

[@3253222]

Will this work with the driver ?

[@CogornoGolf]

Hey! Same idea with hips forward but head more back with driver... I go over that in more detail below: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHu5d3l_fMZjnJY&pp=ygUjRXJpYyBDb2dvcm5vIGhpcHMgZm9yd2FyZCBoZWFkIGJhY2s%3D kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKLSqZt3ltmpZ7c&pp=ygUbRXJpYyBDb2dvcm5vIGRyaXZlciB2cyBpcm9u

[@John-e4y9t]

How much of a conceptional point… going to go put this into action

[@CogornoGolf]

Hoe it helps John!!

[@mkylam99]

Is this movement strictly for hitting irons but not the driver?

[@CogornoGolf]

Hey! all clubs.....but head more back with driver (some of that just from setup)

[@demzunoplayer]

Fab!

[@CogornoGolf]

Thank you!

[@johnsterman77]

Any chance you could talk about hitting a ball below your feet? The hardest shot in golf for me, never understood quite what to do, and play every round simply trying to avoid it.

[@CogornoGolf]

Hey John! for sure....we have that (and all other lies) in our masterclass on fairway woods and hybrids below ericcogornogolf.podia.com/fairway-woods-hybrids-master-class

[@elbowyeish]

If i may. . . Stand an inch or two closer to the ball. Then bend knees (not bend forward) to get club down to the ball. Then the key is swing club more upright instead of around your body (like ferris wheel, not carousel). Hope this helps ^^

[@jvitali60]

Good video, I’m 64 with old Lower back injuries and almost impossible for this to happen? I have an AI app as well called “golf fix” and even on my high score videos 8 to a “perfect “ 10 I’m not there? Maybe it’s camera angle? When I try that it says I have “too much hip slide” which has been a big fault for me. Bad post up on left knee / right handed… I’ve corrected most of that by keeping my head back and pushing my hips forward but I’m not Adam Scott 😊

[@CogornoGolf]

:)

[@JoeyCarter-nf9yj]

Good video, my issue is having like a false rotation where I’m pointing toward the target after the swing but I’m not really rotating correctly before impact. Thanks for the video

[@CogornoGolf]

Hey Joey! Yeah I see that a bunch....try this one to help....getting the STICK around EARLIER kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJXWlYytjcZgg5Y&pp=ygUpRXJpYyBDb2dvcm5vIG9wZW4gaGlwcyByb3RhdGlvbiBkb3duc3dpbmc%3D kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJrVhqWQgLGprJo&pp=ygUpRXJpYyBDb2dvcm5vIG9wZW4gaGlwcyByb3RhdGlvbiBkb3duc3dpbmc%3D

[@Weshopwizard]

My problem is I feel like I’m sliding the left hip straight down the line. I think that creates problems.

[@cnewton6527]

Sounds like you might have to add rotation into your swing. He demonstrated the belt buckle into the left wall to finish. This drill might help you. ✅

[@CogornoGolf]

Hey! Yep I see that sometimes----as mentioned below that means you need more of the ROTATION part Try this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4C9i31pfNKeptk&pp=ygUSRXJpYyBDb2dvcm5vIHNsaWRl

[@booger65man]

All I can say is do this at your own risk. Moving your hips out from under your torso and on top of that creating a twisting motion? You are asking for significant lower back problems. The pros have full-time trainers and access to physical therapy. They prepare their bodies all day long for this type of movement. Us amateurs that don’t have access to that, need to stop chasing what is essentially unattainable without risking significant injury. The occurrence of lower back injuries, even with the pros is very high. There have been a number of top players recently that are pulling out of tournaments because of lower back issues. I firmly believe there are ways to swing the golf club that produce less strain on your body and should be taught particularly to the weekend warriors

[@claestapper5190]

My opinion: This is crucial if you want to hit the ball consistently.

[@markkelt6239]

@@claestapper5190agree. If you move your lower body correctly you will destress the back

[@NM-pl1iv]

I just gave it ago with a few practice swings, I was able to do the motion but this probably solid advice for anything if it hurts, you probably shouldn’t do it we all have our own personal limitations. As for the pros my guess is it’s the repetition day in and out.

[@GeorgeTropicana]

Ok, I play like 4-6 times a year, I'll be fine

[@michaeldodd6864]

All the old time greats who swung at slower speeds than the young bucks today did this. Nicklaus Watson Snead, even Hogan. This works.
