Good visual Eric. Compliments nicely your lesson on how to start the swing correctly. Stay well-Russ

[@CogornoGolf]

👊Thank you, Russ!

[@shanebotha257]

Fantastic lesson. Very clear and easy to understand. Thank you 🙏

[@CogornoGolf]

Thanks Shane!

[@MrDvo]

i had similar issues and striking the ball more to the left because of the shoulders in front of my chest true impact and solved it by a trigger just at beginning of backswing have your butt more backwards to have a hollow back and at impact to have the feeling of a hollow back instead of a bowed back. it helped increasingly and went in 2 years from a hcp 54 to a 8 and with this i went the last 4 months to a 4 handicap

[@CogornoGolf]

Love to hear this my friend! Great stuff!

[@brucerulz5297]

You nailed it brother. Thanks.

[@CogornoGolf]

Thanks Bruce!

[@45PISTOL45]

This is a great video for me to use in training. Staying closed through impact is something I struggle with. The idea of getting to the chest-to-sky position really helps get my ball flight higher, which is great since I tend to hit golf balls too low with driver and irons.

[@CogornoGolf]

Hope this serves you well----will definitely help hit it higher!

[@benoitfauteux4920]

Thank you for the great video. You had a similar one with head back a few years ago. I can manage to keep my head back but struggle so much with shifting my weight forward specifically with driver. I tend to stay on my back foot on the course when i hit it. I am finding the tailbone forward video is helping me improve this a bit. I’ll keep practicing!

[@CogornoGolf]

Our pleasure! Glad you enjoyed this one and hope it serves you well in your practice!

[@fraserlawson8522]

Loved the reference to the "reverse C". I learned golf in the 70s, so this was the way to play 😂

[@CogornoGolf]

:)

[@windyrun7979]

Great tip and certainly one that will help me. I do wonder though why none of the 3 coaches I've been to in last 3 months don't mention this even though it is what I do (chest down thru follow thru) and clearly needs fixing.

[@CogornoGolf]

👊Hope this one serves you well my friend!

[@HolyGrailOfGolf]

By keeping the head back you're actually increasing swing speed and clubhead stability because you're not getting the way of where the club is going. When you lean forward, that's where the club is going so your arms have to collapse because you've interrupted the arc of the club. Staying back keeps the arc taut and moving whereas leaning forward puts slack into the swing and stops it.

[@johnmcgeown6578]

Thanks Eric a brilliant bit of tuition John🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Found out about this channel from the average golfer. Great content got yourself another sub

[@CogornoGolf]

👊Appreciate your support!

[@khaleelazan8903]

another great lesson Eric

[@CogornoGolf]

Thank you!

[@marcellofoglietta424]

Bravo Eric!

[@CogornoGolf]

Thank you!

Excellent video...

[@CogornoGolf]

Thanks!

[@rrassoc]

Love this!

[@CogornoGolf]

:)

[@freewillow1]

You are right on the money when it comes to my swing fault. Can yo give us one or two good drills in order to address that very frequent problem, at least for me. Love your site.

[@CogornoGolf]

Thank you! Would start with the one I did here with the club in the sternum and getting to point UP in the follow through of course you want to film your swing to confirm what you are REALLY doing vs just FEELING Send swings in to www.cogornogolf.com when ready and we can make sure you have the correct drills to fix your root issues!

[@45PISTOL45]

I like the idea of laying your head on a pillow to help get you right shoulder down

[@healthysilver-2019]

왼쪽 엉덩이가 뒤쪽으로 빠지면서 체중이동 되고 척추 앵글이 유지된체 저방을 보는 레슨 잘배우고 갑니다 감사합니다

[@CogornoGolf]

Thanks!

[@joseserranosuner]

Great content Eric as always! Mac O'Grady apparently said you need to squat and increase right side bend during transition. Through impact however you would have to hip thrust, extend your hips... I would truly recommend having Kevin Ralbovski as your guest, lots of interesting stuff!

[@CogornoGolf]

Absolutely Jose!

[@nelsonjames1272]

I’m thinking more and more that head position related to the eyes plays a huge role in the ability to even make these moves successfully. Eye dominance and flexibility limitations will guide each player into their individual positions required, and a good teacher like you could help them achieve or find this.

[@CogornoGolf]

For sure

[@really__886]

Jack Pot!! great lesson!

[@CogornoGolf]

:)

[@jimgold5582]

Fire great video as usual I tried this on the Range I'm constantly hit the ball fat any thoughts

[@CogornoGolf]

Hope this helps Jim! Need to see your swing to see WHY you are hitting fat to say how to fix. Send swings in to www.cogornogolf.com so we can see root issues and will fix Some of these may help for fat shots kzbin.info/www/bejne/jajQkGmOoLOeeLc&pp=ygUWRXJpYyBDb2dvcm5vIGZhdCBzaG90cw%3D%3D

[@pohoresky]

Solving apparent contradictions when your spine extends or straightens and you stay down at same time keeping right shoulder down to retain posture and still hit the ball while pointing chest to sky at same time. Very insightful but shows the golf swing is much more complicated than it appears.

[@CogornoGolf]

👊 Hope this one helps your game my friend!

[@sandywinnnerman2156]

I noticed that additionally you are pivoting on your left heel. Is this an important component of the swing?

[@1Mannco]

Not really important but most pros pivot a bit. If your hips are on the stiffer side, you may need to turn your heel/foot towards the target at the finish like PGA pro Patrick Reed. Younger and very limber players can keep the left heel solid w/o moving it on the ground thru the whole swing to the finish.

[@steve45058]

Does this help with over the top?

[@CogornoGolf]

Hey Steve! It COULD as the extension (chest up, head back) and the trail side bend (trail shoulder down) assist in the club swinging from in to out longer👍 Here's a video you may enjoy watching! kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4C0lpWMlq-ghck

[@JimFairbanks-wh3kj]

Is this on your website

[@CogornoGolf]

Hey Jim! A lot of these ideas would be within the follow through videos throughout the site. Check out the full swing blue print follow through pieces

[@kenlamb5697]

Looks like keeping the spine angle is part of this lesson.

[@CogornoGolf]

For sure

[@mrshiney2]

Stack and Tilt

[@TML34]

Reverse and Pivot

[@Andyvg99]

@@TML34Not true

[@TML34]

@@Andyvg99 s&t is a “feel drill” if you sway too much. It limits your swing potential so much. And can lead to the dreaded reverse pivot when overdone.

[@CogornoGolf]

Well......if Collin, Rory and all the other pros who do this are stack and tilt then sure!!!

[@davidwhitnall9783]

I extend but early so this is not easy for me

[@CogornoGolf]

Hey David! Maybe yesterdays video may help more if you early extend kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3bRaoublsetbc0

[@bigbertha8]

I feel like I overdo this and don't get on my left side. End up hitting a lot of thin or tops

[@CogornoGolf]

Hope you get it sorted! IF not send videos to www.cogornogolf.com so we can see what the root issues are and we can fix

[@pleroma5924]

Huh. I was always told cover the ball with my chest. Never chest to the sky😡😡😡. I HAVE BEEN DOING IT ALL WRONG!!!!!

[@CogornoGolf]

:) More clarity on this move through the ball I bet will help ya: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnvXkn18nrB5qLs

[@honkerh8r564]

This is 100% my driver fault. I've been working on keeping my chest up with my head back, and it's made a world of difference. Why is it so much more difficult to get this head down/chest up position with driver?

[@CogornoGolf]

Glad it's helping! Some may struggle with this more because there is a bit MORE of it happening with the driver vs. downward striking clubs. It's also the longest club and being swung the fastest...which makes it more difficult in general. Starting shorter and slower and exaggerating 1000x more than you think (with video feedback) is key!
