Words can't express my gratitude. Used to be an 8, but after kids and not playing for 10 years, I can't break 100 because i hit a low duck hook. I paid for lessons, and hit countless balls, but i was still missing something. It was this exact message of right wrist position. This video coupled with a few range sessions, and SHAZAM.....I'm back to old form. I'm still exaggerating the wrist placement on takeaway, but I've never been happier to fix this problem in my golf swing.
I owe you a beer (actually way more than that).
Love it, Pete :)
I had to search and search to find this video (because I didn't hit like the first time). I have played for 6-7 years and have watched every video imaginable. Endless hours sometimes. People out on the course would say "Wow...nice swing", but I just couldn't get consistent contact/compression and after watching this video I realized I was doing everything right but my fault was coming from underneath and it was causing me to cast to compensate. Shot a 78 today with this change (I've never broken 80...and average around the high 80's low 90's). I only missed around 3 fairways. This was my "gotcha" moment video. Best round of golf I ever played to the point it almost seemed surreal. It all makes sense now as long as I remember to just stay lose the ball just flies of the clubface. I've never in my life struck the ball better and this video was the reason for it. What a great instructor you are Eric. Simple and to the point.nWe all know golf has it's up and downs but I have a feeling this tip/video will make the ups more prevalent. Thanks Eric.
You are welcome my friend! Glad it helped and you are heading in the right direction :)
Eric is one of the top coaches online....learned a lot from him...thanks Eric
You got it my friend! Appreciate it!
I stumbled on to what exactly you are talking about. You are 100% spot on. This idea has dramatically changed my game for the better. I’m a right handed player. Because I grip the club with a slightly stronger right hand beyond neutral...when my hands are set at the top of my backswing, they do NOTHING on the downswing except hold the right hand hinged angle. I simply turn through my downswing. My right elbow naturally, and gradually unfolds... and yes my hands release the club, but well after the ball has been struck. I love that I can flight my short irons much lower, AND hold greens. My compression is SO much better. Great video!
Appreciate it! Glad to hear that!!
This Video changed my Golf Game so much I have never struck the ball so well in my life! I was literally bending my wrist the wrong way I was bending it to wear it would massively leave the club face wide open and then I would flip at the ball. This video changed my swing for good!! It felt really weird at first but after trusting it OMG it's crazy! The divits I take now are so good I literally can't believe it's me hahha! U are the man Eric! Best Instructor in the World right here!!!
Lol love it, Phil! Happy to hear that my friend!
The last video on this helped to dispel any misconceptions on wrist hinge or just how to hit it straight in general and since then have been striking the ball a lot better! So anyone that was like me.. feel confident in this information and thank Eric for saving you loads of frustration later on. At first you may pull the ball but as this becomes second nature you'll straighten out.
I even given this tip to struggling people on the course and their shots got better immediately. It's such a simple concept too and if more golf rookies learned this right away they'd skip that first 6 months of crappy striking lol.
Lol :)
This video, by itself, has altered my game in a positive way more than anyone I’ve viewed anywhere. I’ve shot 80 a couple times this year on a pretty tough course but actually broke 80 the day after watching this and applying it on the range beforehand. And it wasn’t so much that I broke 80 but it’s the way I struck the ball consistently which really had me and my playing mates impressed. Honestly if I was chipping better I would’ve shot in the low 70s. I’ve watched a lot of videos from very good teachers but yours are the clearest and understandable examples of golf swing mechanics that I’ve witnessed to date.
Love to hear that! Appreciate the kind words my fiend!
One of the best and MOST IMPORTANT videos I've seen. It is amazing how one little change in the swing can make such a big difference in swing quality. Well done!!
Thanks, Art!
This is what should be taught very early for anyone learning golf … you learn and practice this and 80% + of your golf swing is set for life! Eric, this is your best video ever. I have been watching hundreds of videos for many years and had many golf lessons… without much success , switching my swing to too many complicate tips. This is the Saint Graal of golf !!!
Claude … from Montreal,QC.
Love it, Claude! Appreciate the support!
This is one of the best lesson i have ever seen. Clear. Clever. Generous.
I have studied a lot about these points, and this lesson has clarified and enlightened me, harmonizing all my ideas, making my swing solid and consistent.
Thank you, Eric.
Excellent! Appreciate the kind words!
Great!! This was Joe Dante's Magic Move. He set the wrist immediately and maintained it. The first time I tried this, I was sure I was going to drive the ball directly into the ground. I was wrong. I had simply played my whole life with an open club face, then flipping to square it at impact. I played some decent golf if my timing was perfect, but I'd follow a scrambling 78 with a dispiriting 95. I'm 63 and have played golf for 50 years and have quit and picked the game back up several times. Eric's wrist angle videos have helped me play my best, and more importantly, consistent golf ever. I have played my home course at least 700 times in the last ten years. However, I have hit my longest, straightest and best shots on every single hole in the last 50 rounds AFTER incorporating these ideas. Instead of moving up to the gold (senior tees), I have moved back to the blue tees from the whites. I can't recommend these videos or the Cogorno Golf subscription site enough.
Thanks, David! Love to hear that story! I'm glad you're here and you're enjoying our site. Happy you're part of the team!!
This might be the key to unlock the problem that has plagued me for years, early release and flipping my hands through impact. I took the information to my practice at the driving range yesterday and saw dramatic improvement in power and carry. Thanks. You have some of the best demonstrations and lessons on UA-cam.
My pleasure...appreciate the kind words! It's a feel that can definitely help if you lose right wrist extension too early normally.
Great video! Have watched MANY on this subject. Yours is the first I have seen that isolates the RIGHT wrist. This is much more impactful for me. Also, I really appreciate your comments on the TIMING of this move. I guess that trial and error will let me know which timing will be best for me, but I am glad to know that any of the three will work. Thanks. Joe W
Appreciate it, Joe! Hope it helps!
Reading all the comments down below it lets you know how much you are loved by those golfers and I am one of them, your honesty, your tuition, explanation is spot on - your jokes are crap, but hey - keep up the great work we all love you - golfing wise!
Haha thanks alan!
Your teaching style and awesome explanations are so helpful. Thanks for sharing.
Nick Faldo has a chapter like that in his book. Hit it with right forarm. Outstanding video. Thanks
Thanks Thomas! Our pleasure!
I’ve been working on this concept with my pro the last few weeks since winter school started. This is a great addition to what he’s been trying to drill into me. Love your teaching style.
Thanks, Paul! Appreciate it! Happy to hear you're heading in the right direction!
That's what she said
Spent a lot of money on lessons in the uk , basics (grip,stance,alignment) apart my biggest steps forward iv found on Cogorno Golf , love your patient explanation on this vid and others Eric, seems so simple , time to get to work 🏌🏻♂️👍🏻🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Love it man....I know I can help you get where you want to go if you'll do the work
Eric...thank you. I've scoured several videos looking for a fix to my inconsistent ball striking. This one video did it for me.
Glad to hear that, Phil!
Eric, this is your best video ever. Master this lesson and you will be on your way to ball striking like you have never experienced.
Appreciate the kind words my friend!
Bro I love u. This one video, fixed my swing path and created more draws for me instead of fade/slices. Wasted 10 lessons trying to fix my bad habit.
Love it! Appreciate you being with us my friend!
Single handily the best golf video I’ve seen. I took a lesson last week and I was instructed to do this very thing. Yet I couldn’t find any videos on it to learn and implement it more.....until now. Thank you!!
Good stuff, thanks Scott! Appreciate it.
I have other videos on this topic as well...here's another one you may enjoy

Cogorno Golf is the best golf tuition online - period.
Thanks, Andy! Appreciate it!
I agree...he is a genius :)
This is the best advice video on golf and this guy really knows what he's talking about. Radically improved my game in distance and control
Love to hear that my friend!
Pure gold Eric. This video (and others) has helped me immensely
Thanks, Jay! Appreciate it my friend!
For those of us that are right hand/side dominant, this is gold, thanks Eric!
:)
Completely bloody fabulous as always. Great instruction.
Thanks, Ian! Appreciate it my friend!
Well explained Eric, the right hand is key especially in the downswing enabling us to compress our golf iron shots. Cheers, Troy
Thanks, Troy!
Really great advice. I'm an overthinker when it comes to golf and this video/drill allows you to focus on one consistent thing if you work at it and advances the goal of a repeatable, consistent solid swing. Kudos, Eric.
Thanks, Jeff!
There are a lot of videos out there, but I think your videos really help golfer who hits below 90s and looking to improve! Good job!
Appreciate it!
There is nobody any better than you! You really explain things very well.
Appreciate it, Stephen!
FANTASTIC video! I used this drill this summer to work on delivery and contact. It’s scary how much it helped. Also, for those that think they can’t “release” doing this, you do it for a bit you start hitting further and further shots. You hit a little harder and harder. Soon, you can’t hold off if you try. The momentum will make your wrists release. I noticed that doing these 3/4 “hold off” shots were not much shorter than my full swing. Most likely due to the solid contact.
100% agreed!
Very valuable teaching on "how-to-do-it". 5 stars!
Thanks :)
i love this lag drill. i swing a hammer everyday and its the difference between driving a nail in 3 vs 10 swings. same principal. gonna practice this along with your shallow down swing drill. great videos and detail!!!
Thanks, Michael!
Just had a lesson to emphasise this, but I love the practise routine. Will try it, thank you.
Hope it helps!
I'm 20+ years into playing golf, and the more I learn, the more I realize that the absolute FIRST thing anyone should learn when it comes to playing golf is the finer mechanics of the approach/impact/release. Assuming you've played any sport where you "swing" something, you don't need help on that part. Players need to understand exactly how to generate the proper lag and speed and impact in the golf swing. Once you get that, you can just figure out how to do that faster/harder for yourself. If you don't figure that out first, nothing else will truly make you better. I learned some really great course management skills that helped my scoring, but I always fought my poor ball striking. Eric's videos on the release and impact have, literally in a matter of weeks, changed my approach to the swing and my ball striking for the better.
100% agreed! Appreciate the kind words and glad you are heading in the right direction!
Eric leaves no doubt about each component. Never knew my right wrist cannot be bent too much. This guy has helped my ball striking more than anyone.
Love it, Kurt! Thanks for being here with us!
This guy is the best for me I love the way he explains things in a clear way, thank u for helping me to see my mistakes
Appreciate it, Connie! Thanks for being here with us!
I have no doubt at all he's great for a lot of people. I'm a real decent player and don't need to know the top 10 things people do and I shouldn't. With all due respect, and as a gentlemen of this game, no one instructor can be good for every level, all players at once, all the time. It doesn't work that way, so for my need it wasn't so good, but I promise he'll be great for many. Peace out.
@@dennislaux You should be on the sites that talk about how to get the most out of shaping your blade iron shots into the green instead of here.
Brilliant. As is the left wrist bowing video. I love your no-nonsense clarity. Thanks.
Appreciate it, Ed!
This really works, I am taking lessons and we worked on this yesterday. The other is the follow through. He had me make sure my arms kept the V all the way through my swing. Everything went straight. If I could consistently do this I would shoot in the 80s. That has yet to be proven as when I am at the range everything goes straight, on the course not so much. I just learned this move so the future looks bright.
Hope you keep seeing progress!
@@CogornoGolf My swing is fabulous at the driving range but on the course it is not so good. Psychology I am sure.
Just found this video. Never had I seen such well described instruction on "how" to get club square at impact and still keeping right wrist bent with forward shaft lean!! Thanks Eric.
Mike W
Thanks, Mike! My pleasure my friend!
Just found your channel. This is a fantastic video, one of the best I’ve seen on this topic.
Thanks, Chip!
Man, this video is money! So good! Thanks Eric, love the videos.
My pleasure, man! appreciate ya!
In the process of hinging the trail wrist to the maximum and holding the flex, the elbow is held and tucked into the waist. ONE simple focus thought on the trail wrist and (for me) the rest with the correct rotation falls in to place. Great instructional video. Many thanks.
Love it! My pleasure, Robert!
I've been using my right wrist as my key swing thought and it has really helped me explode through the ball and make more consistent contact.
Love it
Best instruction on UA-cam, period.
Thanks, Russ!
Finally some non-fiction, more talk on this move with the wrist bent foreshow!!
;)
Eric ! The more I watch your episodes, the more I get impressed.. It is amazing how much you describe the details of every each moment of action in all aspects..! It is just Wow ! Two thumbs up ! Thanks a bunch !
Appreciate that!
Right wrist bend worked very well for me, Awesome advice Eric!!
Love it!
Eric, I have seriously been struggling with my golf game for the past 4-5 months. I was shooting mid-eighties but after a lesson (was try to add some yardage) the pro strengthened my grip i could never get comfortable with my hands/wrists at the top. Since that lesson I have been shooting mid to high 90s and extremely frustrated with the game. After watching this video I went to the range this morning - weakened my grip back to neutral and concentrated more on my right wrist bending back instead of fighting the awkward feeling strong grip left wrist cup and Voila! I haven't struck the golf ball that well in a very long time. Thank you very much for creating this video!!
Excellent! Love to hear that! Back on track my friend!
Finally i understood the Right wrist Action! Thanks.
My pleasure my friend!
Thanks Eric, this vid fits me to a tee, as I am a left hand cupper. Going to work on this a zillion times to imbed it in to memory feel.👍
Smart man!
So clearly and comprehensively described Eric. Excellent video as always. Thanks for demystifying the golf swing in the impact zone.
My pleasure, Alan! Appreciate the kind words my friend!
Love that mate ❤️
Thanks, William!
Saved in my fav! Great key topic!
:)
Nice drill! Someone explained it to me as a similar motion to skipping rocks. That helped me achieve this instinctively.
Thanks! That works!
This was interesting. It had a very positive side effect that I did not expect. I stopped hitting with the arms and it became all turn with a very soft, balanced and natural finish. And it happened all by itself. Thanks, hope is back.
:) Glad to hear that, Gunnar!
My last lesson with my club pro was about holding a firm left wrist through impact, but it was something I was struggling to do. I asked him if it would be easier to try to keep the right wrist broken for as long as possible and this was better.
I think the missing piece of my puzzle was the tip in this video about trying to keep the right hand facing towards the ground. Suddenly my ball striking has become much cleaner.
One of the earlier comments disagreed with holding onto wrist angles to impact, but I think that the point here is to get the right feel. Unless you are immensely strong the correct release will just happen through clubhead momentum. Trying to make the release happen at the right time will just open up a whole new box of problems for most of us.
It's not an instant fix, I think it will take a bit of work to eradicate the old movements, but it's getting better round by round.
Best of all, this move has improved my pitching which was very inconsistent. Now it's well flighted, bang on line and distance control is fantastic.
Glad to hear that, Kevin! Happy you have found a solution!
Eric thank you so much ! Great video Regards
My pleasure!
Realized at the range today that instead of focusing on flat left wrist, focus on flexing the right wrist accomplishes the same and is easier. Came home, searched for "right wrist in backswing" and this video came up. Thank you for confirming and explaining how it works!
You got it Jack! :)
This trail wrist tip is magic thru the bag..Thanks Eric.
MY pleasure my friend!
Great video, thank you. My coach spent weeks trying to get me to bow my left wrist, focusing on a left wrist movement. I just couldn’t get it, and the left wrist just stayed cupped. Your idea of concentrating on the right wrist movement and the left will automatically get into the correct position is spot on. I can do it and it works. Don’t know why I could move one wrist correctly but not the other, the brain is a strange thing. Massive improvement in quality of balling striking.
Glad to hear that my friend!
I definitely agree with you. I was having a very similar problem. I am happy I found this video. Concentrating on the right wrist is much simpler for me as well. My golf coach worked with me on Friday regarding setting my wrist. I was cupping my left wrist and pull hooking the ball.
Hell yeah my golfing brother, this is the real Secret, to your best Golf, the hands and wrist, Along time ago, i worked on this, and i played great, thanks for reminding me, iv been looking at your videos for some time now, and now you nailed it,
:)
the best tips ever....... thank you very much Sir ..... from indonesia with salute
Thanks for watching!
Went to the range and tried to keep this in mind and had the best range session I think I've ever had!
Love it, Jonathan!
Amazing man. I had all but given up on trying to get my left hand flat in the backswing. I just can't get in to that position as my right hand always takes over. So much easier to think about bending my right wrist back and having the left follow. Can't wait to try it out at the range. Thank you.
Yessir! You're welcome my friend!
This video is the serious game changer. Good stuff!
:) Thanks, Scott! Appreciate ya!
Wow exactly what I was looking for
Hope it helps!
I've been a 12-16 handicap for most of my life. I've had more lessons than probably one should take. But, today, i finally think all the lessons I've taken get the point across with your videos on the right wrist bent back because I didn't understand how the right hand worked in golf. I was always taught to keep the left wrist flat but i continued to have problems with loss of power because of casting. Thank you so much for theses videos. I can now practice drills called the P6 and understand the importance of the right hand staying bent and swinging to the left.
Love to hear that, Terry! Glad you are here with us my friend!
So did your handicap go down?
Just by watching and executing the elbow under the pointing down through impact, I hugely improved impact and consistent improved distance with less effort, best lesson I've ever applied
Love to hear that Keye!
Thanks for the vid! I will MAINTAIN!!
:)
Amazing drill and lesson~!!
Thanks!
Brilliant. Very well explained, well done young man.
Thanks Gordon!
Best of the best lesson ever.
Appreciate it!
Due to your video i was watching Eric i have been able to see what i have been having trouble with my wrists even in my daily life i have trumor tension due to a car accident so i am so thankful for what you put into your videos
Happy to help Anthony! Hope you are well my friend!
Fookin’ great! One fault I’ve fought for a long time is - while I had good right wrist extension in my backswing ... I also unfortunately had way to much right wrist radial deviation as well ... resulting in making the top of my backswing way to long with all the associated bad side effects... since I watch several of your wrist conditions videos I’ve put in a lot of reps and have really made progress correcting right wrist radial deviation fault ... anyway just want to make this point so others who might have these 2 things happen don’t get frustrated ...
Yes, good point! Lots of radial (hinge) at the top can cause A LOT of problems during downswing!
Great teaching as always. The right wrist is the secret to improving my (and all others) golf. 50 years ago I was taught to bend/cup my LEFT wrist at the top of the back swing, that could have been OK is Pro had told me to reach the correct impact position. Thanks for your help.
Thanks, James! Agreed!
This guy is the best golf instructor online. Those of you who live by him are lucky.
Thanks, Anton! appreciate that!
Great Tip Eric
Thank you, Michael!
Thank you great video
You got it, Michael!
Stops the early release and fat shots. Works for me. Great video.
Thanks!
Tq for this video.now im getting divots n hitting greens in regulation.No more hitting.
Thanks Jack Black! This helped a ton!
:)
Eric, thank you so much,I could never figure out why my ball contact is so bad , why I’m not compressing the ball, and why my ball flight is so high and why I’ve been losing distance, this is exactly why, great video my friend.
:) Thank you! Our pleasure!
Another great video. One of my problems is that at the top of my backswing my right hand wrist and arm tense up as my brain tells me get ready to hit the ball from the top. One way I overcome the urge to hit at the top is to absolutely relax and soften my right hand wrist and arm at the top (still keeping angles--extension and hinge) and trust that I will have power to hit ball solidly by turning my body into the ball. When it works it's wonderful!
Love it!~
Wow thanks coach!
My pleasure my friend!
Great video Eric
Thanks!
WOW!😮awesome tip!
Thanks :)
excellent video Eric. Thank you.
MY pleasure, Roger!
Dope!!! Big help...
:)
Hi, just found your channel, this is excellent! You put the instruction across in a way that is so easy to understand, I think this video addresses my main issues. Thanks for posting. 👍🏻
Appreciate you being here and appreciate the kind words!
helped me immediately
Excellent! Love to hear that, Michael!
NICE! THANKS.
My pleasure!
I did this drill years ago and it really improved my ball striking then. I still practice it and my ball striking still gets compliments. I believe that for me to improve I need to get better with driver off the tee and improve my short game (100 yards and in).
Driver and short game are huge! Agreed
This guy knows his stuff salute
Thanks man
I have the same shirt and I am wearing it right now!
Great minds!
U r the best teacher ever.
Agreed! The best!
Thanks guys :)
Brilliant Eric! A game changer. If Hogan ever shared his secret this is it.
Thanks, Alan!
Nice vid! 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Thanks!
Great content
Thanks!
