Big shout out to Eric. I've been using this drill for 2 weeks now and it really transformed my ball striking. This gives me exactly the feel I was looking for and it translates into the game on the course.
Excellent!
Eric, this helped me a ton today at the range. I have been working on not being so steep forever and this was the first tip that actually helped in an appreciable way. I actually hit several draws for the first time in forever. Would love to connect for a lesson when you are in Bethlehem again!
Love it Chris!
Eric Cogorno Golf.....Some of the best online instruction you will find.
Thanks, Jack!
A little alternative to 10/4 o’clock drill. Cool. Ty. Brought my handicap down 4 strokes to 15 last two months. New goal is 12 before end of year. Great ball striking drills for me.
Love it! Lets do it!
Been searching for a video like this for years. Thank you
Thank you for watching Derek!
What a great drill and feel! I struggle with a steep angle of attack and this drill was tremendous. I’m going to make it part of my permanent technical drill routine You the man Eric!
Excellent! My pleasure!
Obviously later than everyone on this, but since I started playing golf a year ago I’ve had constant trouble with slicing and/or pushing my irons. This video helped me learn a new drill and a few slow motion videos showed my grip was too weak also.
Thanks for the content!
Love to hear that, Jonny!
Great drill. Can't wait to try this tomorrow at the range.
:)
Wow - great drill. I was working on this aspect of my swing today with my instructor and it changed my world. Never had felt that action off my right leg before...made it feel like a rugby pass. Thanks for all the great content.
My pleasure, Ken! Happy to hear you're heading in the right direction!
Great drill. I tried it on the range and it helped with a number of issues. I will use this on a regular basis.
Thanks! Happy to hear that!
Wow tried this drill and it helped me out tremendously
Excellent!
Exactly what I need, thanks for the drill
MY pleasure :)
Thank you So Much,,,you have helped me with my deep divots,,and helped my wrists also,,,
Your a good teacher of the game we play and love,,🏌🏻♂️
Love to hear that Joseph!! Thanks for the support!
Man, this drill was epic for me and the first two sessions I did it I was amazed, no more steep fat divots and slices etc. However I think I took it too far because now all I do is constantly shank it on the course
Hey George!
This video/drill may be a great place to start to help you neutralize that path:

Let us know if you have any questions👊
Prof Eric say: "Normal setup: club back: 2 and 2 on the ground: don't add hinge: add arm rotation: belt buckle shirt button up: BOOM!!" love the BOOM!!!! Thank u sir p:)
HAHA my pleasure!
3:22 prof?? what is the mindset from p4 to that "2 plus two" position? worked forward and in reverse engineering? regards
Man this looks like a great way to work on my finish also. Thanks Eric.
My pleasure!
Excellent tip as I am fighting a bit of steepness in my downswing right now. What, if any, difference is there when applied to the driver and fairway woods. Thank you.
Thanks!
None!
Will give this a try
Hope it helps, Colin!
always been steep with the wedges this is great info.. now let's see if the body agrees! thanks Eric
MY pleasure, Sven!
Wow! the video down the line and face on is great! Kudos to Mary!
Thanks!!
Barely swings an 8 iron and it goes 130 to 140 yards, nice! I used to hit mine 160 but then lost my swing. So far your drills are starting to get me solid contact more often and no slices! Seriously, even my bad shots are pushes, but no slice!
Love it, Allan!
This is an excellent drill
Thanks!!
Thanks!
Our pleasure! Thanks for watching!
Late to this: great drill. A few issues: I hit it straight right a lot. Sometimes straight and it feels great. The other issue is when I try to translate to regular swing I just top all of the balls. Maybe I just use this for my normal swing lol
Lol I hear ya---hope this helps ya Alex!!
@@CogornoGolf sorry my question wasn’t clear!
Is there a way to match this feeling in a normal swing? It doesn’t seem to translate when I stop setting the club back and wide.
And the other question is if the ball goes straight right a lot of times is that because I’m not turning enough?
Nice video Eric
Thanks :)
thanks a lot 😊
My pleasure!
excellent
Thanks, Tom!
Will try this Eric!
I do want to ask, I am definitely steep into my downswing. For the most part, I play with a 5y fade. I very rarely miss left and I've eliminated that side of golf. I do want to correct my too steep downswing - but I wanted to ask if it is OK to play this way? Are there professionals who play with a steep downswing?
It is 100% OKAY to play with a steep downswing...you could be a hall of fame. Phil Mickelson's mechanics by most of our models are TERRIBLE......he's one of the best ever.
If you have that control over the ball, why change? Shallowing it out DOESNT 100% guarantee better golf.
@@CogornoGolf OK. Thanks Eric!
2:50 is the guy behind you air swimming?
Does it follow that if one is hitting a draw, that means their AoA is not too steep?
Generally speaking yes the more draw bias the more shallow the angle of attack as the swing direction would be more to the right
How do u translate this to a full swing though
Need to hone in on the FEEL you get with it then exaggerate more with longer/faster swings
So I can do this drill perfectly. Dead straight or slight draw. Over and over.
But I can’t translate the drill into my full swing (clearly my fault). Drill perfect, full swing just poor. Thoughts?
Hey Eric!
Yes...add this one into your regular routine and this will translate better as you gradually add length and speed.
I generally would combine both of these todays for my students
ua-cam.com/video/ybEg1AmnuBY/v-deo.html
If this starts to really feel good then how do I then bring in hinge or keep hinge out of it?
This is exactly what I need. Can't wait to try this.
Let it naturally hinge a little from there as you go back....the moral of the story here is to learn what to do at the bottom...you still will have to watch the hinge amounts in other areas...
I would have to see you swing to say for sure...
@@CogornoGolf thank you!
@@CogornoGolf so ultimately you are opposed to a conscious hinge move or deliberate hinge. Let it just hinge naturally.
Naturally I couldn't resist trying this drill. The result: my backswing feels noticeable more centered. I don't know why. Perhaps because my hands and arms initiate the backswing while my upper body stays quiet? I have a tendency to sway on the backswing. I only hit whiffle balls, but the swing feels really feels centered, balanced and powerful.
Love it! Steps in the right direction, Ronald!
I feel like I’m steep because of my backswing.
Could DEFINITELY be because of that!!
@@CogornoGolf I’m very behind my head because of my strong grip
Craig Stadler won the Masters with an over the top steep swing. Golf is weird.
Yep!

Thank you!
MY pleasure!
