One Simple Trick To Fix Your Backswing For Good

[@DanWessonSpecialist]

Brilliant Eric. Never seen that tuck elbow explanation for shallowing the club. You are the best ever in advanced lessons category and too 3 in basics of golf.

[@CogornoGolf]

Thank you Dan! Hope this one helps!

[@donoboyle2430]

It’s not just showing a video to correct issues IT’S about knowing how to communicate how to do it to the viewers! This video along with the best use of the trail hand are exceptional to watch and learn from! Nice job😎

[@CogornoGolf]

Appreciate it, Don!

[@alancarlyon3928]

I notice Eric that your right elbow mirrors down the same as your left, tried it out in the range and have now falling back in love with the game! Thank you so much!!!!

[@CogornoGolf]

Love to hear that, Alan!

[@alexchan2508]

What a great video showing the correct back swing. Thx Eric

[@CogornoGolf]

Thanks Alex! Our pleasure!

[@stephenpole4260]

Once again when you practice this it's just awesome, feels really awkward at first but as the saying goes practice makes perfect. Massive thanks

[@CogornoGolf]

You got it Stephen!

[@CKGolfer]

Best backswing explanation and drill I've ever seen. Well done!

[@CogornoGolf]

Appreciate it my friend!

[@jasonolsen1340]

Eric is a great tutor, I lean a ton of stuff and I love the way he explains it.

[@CogornoGolf]

Appreciate it, Jason!

So many great videos - but this is THE KEY !

[@CogornoGolf]

Thanks, Max!

@@CogornoGolf I run a golf tour operation in SCOTLAND and in Spain - most of my groups are pro driven - so I know a bit about tuition - I also Caddie on the EUROPEAN seniors circuit - I - we like your approach !

[@CogornoGolf]

That sounds awesome! Maybe I will have to come over one day. Appreciate the kind words!

[@EagleJim62]

You're previous video instructing to point the elbows toward the body at address was helpful, but this will be the finishing touch. I've been struggling with rolling the club inside and getting flat all year. I need to get to the range tomorrow. Great stuff!

[@CogornoGolf]

Thanks, Jim!

[@ecvargas5272]

I took this to the range today....really improved my driver. I was striking the ball with alot more confidence. Thanks!

[@CogornoGolf]

Love to hear that!

[@smitty21171]

I had a purposeful practice with this. Focused right elbow helped me leaps and bounds. Thanks

[@CogornoGolf]

Excellent!

[@jamesluc]

Great reminder tip on the left shoulder rotation. Thanks. Didn’t hit one ball left during whole range session yesterday. 👍

[@CogornoGolf]

Love it, James!

[@soapjorgans8163]

Man how do you keep coming up with more content/knowledge/skills/drills? I just feel like I'm learning so much from your videos. Right when think I know about the swing you hit me with stuff like this lol. I know your super busy but just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate you responding and everything your doing for golf. Ill try not to bug you to much.

[@CogornoGolf]

Appreciate the kind words and feedback, my friend! Thanks for being with us!

[@alancarlyon3928]

Many thanks Eric - master of all teachers!

[@CogornoGolf]

Thanks, Alan!

[@pzman3852]

Simply amazing Eric!! Nice job with this one. Very effective. For the life of me, I could not understand why I was so flat on my backswing. Looking forward to practicing this!. Thanks!

[@CogornoGolf]

Thanks, Paul! Hope it helps!

[@goranlundgren3107]

This is one of the best drills you can do , it really helped me, thanks!

[@MarkSmithhhh]

Same...if you do this consistently I feel like it's basically impossible to come in steep

[@huygmail]

This is simply brilliant!! Thank you so much!

[@CogornoGolf]

Appreciate it :)

[@kenclarke8207]

Eric, went with your tip, 66yrs old, went from mid 90s to 81 .so thank you. And got all the money yesterday.

[@CogornoGolf]

Excellent! Love to hear that, Ken! Keep it rolling :)

[@kenclarke8207]

The twist take a way really works.

[@Sebastian-yx7co]

I had no idea I was pre-setting the elbow pointing at the target. This blew my mind. I've tried every possible fix to an inside takeaway and they never stick. Now I know why. Just awesome stuff Eric

[@CogornoGolf]

Appreciate it, Sebastian! Hope it helps!

[@Silenced_by_Utoob]

Anyone else hate being at home watching tutorial videos that makes you want to go to the range asap?

[@CogornoGolf]

:)

[@CKGolfer]

Go to the range!

[@mattprice421]

Saw this vid and was unbelievably consistent with all my irons! Struggled a bit with my driver and woods I’m guessing just getting comfortable and longer clubs.

[@CogornoGolf]

Slow and steady!

[@shanemcknight415]

I LOVE this video! we are gonna drill this today

[@CogornoGolf]

Hope it helps!

[@joevladovich2075]

Excellent presentation. Left elbow to the ground controls club face and keeps it square throughout the swing.

[@CogornoGolf]

Thanks, Joe!

[@antonio-W6]

Great video with simple and yet very effective insights. Can't wait for the lockdown to end ( ? ) to try it at the driving range. One personal question: is the weather always so nice over there??

[@CogornoGolf]

Hope it helps! Lol no it is not.....we just only film when its nice enough :)

[@scorbett2287]

This just saved me life

[@CogornoGolf]

[@stephenpole4260]

Best arm rotation I've ever had works a treat can't wait to actually hit golf balls

[@CogornoGolf]

Hope it helps!

[@stephenpole4260]

@CogornoGolf I've had a little practice with this it feels like I've got alot more compression and more speed through the swing can't thank you enough I'm going to practice this a lot and watch all your videos thanks

[@achae]

Great video! Should the upper right arm also be preset at address in the same way as the upper lead arm?

[@CogornoGolf]

In general....yes.

[@SanjuroCA]

Seen alot of different backswing videos but this one is a light bulb moment. That elbow down is huge for a good backswing. Wish I saw this years ago when I was struggling mightily with the backswing and being very flat.

[@CogornoGolf]

Hope it helps my friend!

[@massspike]

Great tip...I normally do this but it feels like my elbow will point out every now and again. Would a training aid like the "Smart Ball" re-enforce this (it looks like you really maintain that angle during your back swing once you preset your elbow correctly)?

[@CogornoGolf]

Hey Mike! That can help, yes!

[@mgmyint9189]

Thanks.

[@CogornoGolf]

My pleasure!

[@ThePhandle]

Great video!

[@CogornoGolf]

Thank you!

[@mikec8161]

Love the three military guys in fatigues behind you hitting balls!!

[@johninnocenzi5483]

Wondering if this may help me square up the face better as I've been fighting a fade that sometimes gets into a slice

[@CogornoGolf]

Def can John

[@samsalinas8454]

Eric what about the right elbow ? How should I set my right elbow ?

[@CogornoGolf]

Hey Same! Here is info on right arm in backswing kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6DTqp6mZq-gbpo kzbin.info/www/bejne/nH_VqpKmhbWNhtU

[@boustin91]

Great eye opener Eric, went through to my Saved videos... Downswing thought: Am I right in assuming this may also cure chicken wing? It feels like the front elbow should point down post-impact, while my chicken wing feels like it is pointing to the target. This drill would definitely lead to a better post-impact position, and better kept arm structure, wouldn’t it?

[@CogornoGolf]

Yes exactly....talk about that specifically here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYu4Z3pvfNaSopI

[@dannyd-rockmahaffey3087]

Love this video!!!!

[@CogornoGolf]

Great video Eric, thanks. I remember seen this similar in Ben Hogan's book, so it must be good :-)

Super helpful as usual! Thanks for your videos!

[@peteruwatch2970]

Very good Eric! When will you offer an alternative to using Facebook? I am ready to sign up when you have one

[@CogornoGolf]

Thanks, Peter! We are in discussions! Will make announcements if/when we do!

[@peteruwatch2970]

Also, this year I started pointing my right elbow towards my right hip. So is there anything wrong with both elbows doing the same?🤔

[@CogornoGolf]

Nothing wrong with that....that would be preferred!

[@MarkSmithhhh]

This is something that is not talked aviut nearly enough...im telling you instant improvement

[@CogornoGolf]

Love it!

[@nreifer04]

So the upper arm rotates in transition, but would it rotate back through contact square the face or stay rotated?

[@CogornoGolf]

Depends on the face angle... More closed face will keep lead shoulder more internal longer (elbow at target)... More open face will require more external rotation Talk about that here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJ29o5yLpbVqhNU

[@RealHIFIHelp]

I would like to see you react to this: Bunker Technique with Tiger Woods & Jason Day | TaylorMade Golf

[@CogornoGolf]

I would like to as well! Great videos TM put out with them!

[@Galaka100]

Interesting. However, you also have a video with a pro who pushes for the left forearm to be above the right at set up when viewed down the line and tucking the left elbow under isn’t consistent with that.

[@CogornoGolf]

Thanks for the feedback, Gary! You could do both at the same time

[@bennylindamood1125]

Does this cause anyone else to fight cupping the lead wrist?

[@CogornoGolf]

Hey Benny! I do not see a direct correlation between shoulder internal and external rotation (elbow pointing down or away) and wrist angles (flexion/extension)

[@grahamjones7371]

Agree but if you have an arm only 1 piece take away going for width you will finish up inside and flat even from a good set up.i know cos that used to be me!

[@CogornoGolf]

:)

[@jballoregon]

Rickie's move defines this perfectly...He's very flat and always comes out of the top slightly steep.

[@CogornoGolf]

Exactly....he's lucky he has one of the best short games in the world....his ball striking stats ever since his swing changes are no bueno.

[@MarkSmith-lz5rk]

@@CogornoGolf its crazy he used to be even more laid off and he was playing better...he really messed his swing up...

[@CogornoGolf]

Yessir....he used to be much more out in takeaway and more laid off but he didn't steepen the downswing shaft like he does now....he went more under......so he struggled with hooks....which was the main motivation for making the changes over the past few years as far as I know. From what I see he is working with someone new and now seems to be rehearsing moves to get things back on track

[@wallstreetoneil]

Eric, there was a basically unknown but accomplished English Golfer, who was born in the mid-1600s, 200 full years after us Scots invented the game - his name was Isacc Newton - and he lived on the Slice Side of the 1st hole and grew very tired of slicing drives breaking his windows. In the year 1686, he had had enough and placed a sign at the 1st tee with his 3rd law of Golf Motion - For Every Action, There is an Equal & Opposite Reaction. Golfers are incredibly stubborn and have ignored his advice for 300 years - so you are up against it

[@boojiboy2275]

LOL 😂

[@jeffreyyoungblood7438]

It's funny how most of your videos don't seem to apply to me. My backswing tends to be too steep. Lol. Good videos though.
