The Big Mistake 90% Of Golfers Keep Making To Start The Swing

[@putter72]

Just returned from the golf course…34 points stableford ….thats the best I have played this year……most importantly hit every fairway….this swing thought works so well keeping yours arms in front of the body ….. very grateful for all the hard work you must put into your videos….

[@CogornoGolf]

Love to hear this one helped! Thanks for being here with us!

[@saquibmobeen1683]

You have a unique way of explaining the concepts. It appears you know what one is looking for and make it so simple and easy to sink in. One is privileged to see your coaching clips.

[@CogornoGolf]

Appreciate it :)

[@engo88771]

I really like the side by side you do with the Pro’s when highlighting and explaining the movements. Very cool.

[@CogornoGolf]

Appreciate it! Danielle and Mary who edits those in are killer!!

[@huttboynz4422]

This is the exact move that has changed my swing for the better! Can’t stress enough how much having a net and range mat at home has helped my swing. I find there are too many distractions at a range and within the QUIET comfort at home, I learn so much more about my swing. Another feel I like is pushing my hands as far away from the body, this helps keep my lead arm straight and keep that all important WIDTH in my swing. Nice swing buddy! Always love your content!!

[@CogornoGolf]

Thanks for your support and for being here with us!!

[@robertbuck1028]

Well, would really like to thank you. Been scoring in mid 80's and after your recent lesson, I have shot 76 and 79 with a new and great confidence level. My playing buddies have not picked up on my swing change. Once i get some of my lost bets back, I will tell them to watch your lesson. My confidence level over the ball is 100% improved. Thanks again Great job.

[@CogornoGolf]

Love to hear this Robert! Appreciate ya watching!

[@donsutherland5706]

I have had a lifelong tendency to rotate my wrists on my takeaway (even when I had a plus 1 handicap), which caused inconsistent ball striking and occasionally fits of shanking. I always thought this was wrist problem, not an issue with the connection of the upper lead arm to the chest. Keeping the upper lead arm connected to the chest is a much easier move for me than keeping the wrist from rotating. Thanks very much for this insight.

[@CogornoGolf]

You got it Don----hope this serves you well! Shoulder down, arm in....elbow toward you....for the first few feet

[@Tom_Swift]

I just wanted to say that you're my favorite coach on KZbin. Love your videos and how you explain everything. I understand each video is unique to a certain part of the swing to make it digestible for viewers, do you have any videos in your library where there is a full overview of checks for the entire swing? P1, P2, P3, etc. and the feels for each? (Similar to how the video with Trevor when he explains impact position, holding the club in front, shift weight forward, rotate 45, extend club up, the tilt.) Cheers

[@CogornoGolf]

Thanks for your support Tom! I have the Full Swing Blueprint master class available on CogornoGolf.com which covers every position of the swing in detail. I think it would be exactly what you're looking for! That master class, along with many other member-exclusive video series, are available there as well!

[@davidaustin9638]

Yeah awesome lesson! Also notice how the trail arm’s elbow crotch points to the sky and then how at top of backswing right elbow is connected-Ben Hogan. Very good at communicating/simplifying.

[@CogornoGolf]

Thanks David!

[@raybuckalum89]

This is the exact drill you taught me back in 2020. Need to revisit every so often. Great video Eric!

[@CogornoGolf]

👊 Thank you, Ray!

[@mikebarnard2689]

Excellent . I’ve never really understood what staying connected meant. Went to the range shortly after watching this video, kept connected and Bingo !! great consistent compressed strikes. Used Trackman to back up the strikes and all blue on Optimiser function and trajectory window perfect. Sincere thanks Mike B.

[@CogornoGolf]

Glad this one helped Mike!!

[@andreyounan1990]

Tell you this much. I watch a bunch of these instructionals from guys 1M+ subs and I like your method best. I stumbled on this video on my way to the course and implemented it and I’ll tell you I wasn’t going left or right anymore. Very helpful keep up the good work.

[@CogornoGolf]

Glad this one helped my friend!

[@sms9106]

Great tip, going to put this on my check list

[@CogornoGolf]

Thank you! Hope it helps!

[@robertkanchuk1677]

Great tip Eric, your videos are all very helpful and easy to understand. Keep them coming, Thanks!

[@CogornoGolf]

Thanks Robert!!

[@michaeldodd6864]

Great video. Love the whole thing but the arm across the body tip at the end of the video is gold.

[@CogornoGolf]

Thanks Michael! Hope it helps!

[@coachplays]

Hey Eric, great video. I've actually got the shoulder part down but find my club not tracing the line. Would be cool to see something on the wrist hinge in the takeaway. Your club shaft like matches your arm perfectly 😮

[@CogornoGolf]

Hey! For sure....more on the wrist angle part here to control it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3OQZIKrfLmWqa8&pp=ygUiRXJpYyBDb2dvcm5vIHRha2Vhd2F5IHRyb3VibGVzaG9vdA%3D%3D kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6ushGuLh9eCh5o&pp=ygUbRXJpYyBDb2dvcm5vIHRha2Vhd2F5IHdyaXN0 kzbin.info/www/bejne/ronRpmCXn7d8f5Y&pp=ygUbRXJpYyBDb2dvcm5vIHRha2Vhd2F5IHdyaXN0 Hope those help

[@InfraRedNeck]

That's interesting at 9:10 in the practice swing you say get the hands behind the shoulder but at 9:29 when paused it shows your hands inline with the apex of the shoulder. Are you saying it's more of a sensation that your hands are being you shoulders?

[@CogornoGolf]

Hey! It SHOULD actually get behind your shoulder at top (butt of club roughly in line with ankle) thats just a poor job demonstrating on my part (didnt turn enough to finish swing) sorry about that

[@bristolcity514]

This needs to be my only swing thought, I've been fighting with this for so long.. Thanks for all your videos Eric, keep up the great work!

[@CogornoGolf]

100% My pleasure!!

[@danieltorres2003]

I'm a decent golfer that had lost his feel and have been struggling as of late. This tip gave me my swing back! Thank you so much 🙌

[@CogornoGolf]

You got it Daniel! Hope this serves you well!!

[@Flacky85]

Great video again Eric. Nice work

[@CogornoGolf]

Appreciate it!!

[@scottthomas8812]

One of your best videos yet!! :)

[@CogornoGolf]

Thanks Scott!

[@mikehall4550]

Brilliant technique, I’m on the range practicing it!👍🏻

[@CogornoGolf]

Thanks!! Let me know if it helps!

[@chrisl1637]

Eric - Love how you described this and great drill to work on. I seemly understand this but as soon as you stop at about hip high, I get stuck from where to go. Do you have something that would describe how to get to the top?

[@CogornoGolf]

Hey Chris! Yes! Some things I would look for The simple stuff..... 1. Keep turning your body 2. Fold your trail arm to about 90* at top Some other minor stuff: 3. Keep lead wrist relatively flat 4. Point butt of club

[@chrisl1637]

@@CogornoGolf thanks Eric! So that I can video myself and keep track of progress where should the camera/phone be placed so it gets me at the correct angle. Is it placed directly behind the hand line?

[@CogornoGolf]

Yep

[@chadwestra5371]

Good teaching and I have been teaching over 35 years. I have had to change my own takeaway.

[@CogornoGolf]

Thanks Chad!!

[@Fmartin1638]

85 on a tough course this last weekend using some of these drills leading up to the round. Thank you sir 🫡

[@CogornoGolf]

Nice playing Frank!

[@davecohn6407]

Very good suggestions

[@CogornoGolf]

Thanks Dave!

[@TheZombieeeeeee]

Swear you're secretly watching my swings cause every time you release video it's something I'm struggling with haha

[@ILoveGreatThings]

Power of KZbin algorithms lol

[@CogornoGolf]

Always keeping an eye on ya :)

[@perro68las]

excellent clip!

[@CogornoGolf]

Thank you!!

[@OscarGonzalez-vg3cp]

Eric, the best is when I start right. First muve, correct ,everything goes well. Thanks

[@CogornoGolf]

100% agreed! Start good===easier swing. Start bad == more difficult swing

[@michaelchittock]

I think I need to watch this every day - so clear - the start of the swing is my main nemesis and I think this video might defeat it 🤞🏼🤞🏼😊👍🏼🙏🏌️🏼‍♂️

[@CogornoGolf]

Hope it helps Michael!

[@CKGolfer]

I love this.

[@CogornoGolf]

Thanks!

[@putter72]

Tried this at the driving range today……worked brilliantly…….tomorrow will be the test on the course….. 🤞

[@CogornoGolf]

Love to hear it!

[@williamgriffin4975]

E.C, is this the same for woods?

[@CogornoGolf]

All clubs here! Yes!

[@airport4967]

Does this work with a drivers well?

[@CogornoGolf]

All clubs, yes!

[@nuggster33]

This is so different to the drill you did with the tee peg in the butt of the club brushing your leg in the back swing ! Is it horses for courses Eric ?

[@CogornoGolf]

Hey! Thanks for the feedback.....in my mind they are much the same.....what do you see different? Both are designed to get the hand path more in in the takeaway Only difference with the tee is its MORE EXAGGERATED on purpose.... But both looking to fix the disconnected takeaway/hand path out early Similar to this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4C0lpWMlq-ghck&pp=ygUlRXJpYyBDb2dvcm5vIG5ldmVyIHN3aW5nIG92ZXIgdGhlIHRvcA%3D%3D Hope that helps!

[@nuggster33]

@@CogornoGolf I just see the right hand much closer to the leg in the tee peg drill. Both must work as you are crushing it ! The tee peg drill has helped me loads, I came 1st last week out of 32 and was chuffed to bits ! Thanks

[@nuggster33]

Hi Eric, I just won a weekend comp using this drill. Amazing,so easy to strike irons in particular. Thanks

[@aaronp674]

I know you said good for all clubs but are there any tweaks you’d make for this concept in a driver swing?

[@CogornoGolf]

Hey Aaron! nope!
