Hello Eric,
I watched this video a couple of times last evening. I went to the golf course today I did my best to implement keeping my Arms Straight as you recommended. It worked wonderfully and I shot my lowest score ever. In fact, I beat my previous lowest score by 3 shots.
THANK YOU ERIC!
Congrats on beating your PB, Jack!! Great playing!
Eric - I take lessons from Robert in Irving. He is the real deal! Thank you both for connecting.
He's one of the best----good stuff Richard!
@@CogornoGolf Now if I could my hips to cooperate 😖
Loving these drills and simple explanation. One of the best on UA-cam!
Thanks John!
This video changed my life. Eric is the best
Appreciate your support! Glad this one helped your game!
Eric I love your lessons, very simple and easy to follow. I also love how you do collabs with other teachers on UA-cam, great support for the fellow UA-camrs!!
Thanks for your support, Ashan!
This is awesome, thanks Eric, and your Scottish buddy is a great coach, and obviously would be someone great fun to have a drink with!
He's the best! Thanks for being here with us!
Right to the point, extremely concise, explained in detail, no babbling about themselves ( no bloated Egos )
👊Thanks for watching, Joe!
Just started taking lessons, and that's where we're now trying to keep my arms straight. It's harder than it looks, especially when going to full power, but I will get there. I think using the belly button drill will help along with the sand thought. Thanks, guys!
Appreciate it! Hope this helps ya!
Thank you! So clear to understand 😊
Our pleasure Darleen! Thanks for watching :)
Hi Eric, really love your this lesson and like your rhythm of swing. I have introduced u to all my friends. Keep on n thx very much.
Appreciate that Alex!!
Outstanding video! Thank you for sharing this with us struggling to get better.
👊Thank you, Jaime!
Again, this was great. Easy to understand and offering two drills easy to duplicate and practice. Now, I just have to wait until the weather warms/improves so I don't put the windows at risk!
Thanks J R!
Gents, thanks so much for this video. I had a lesson today and this is (one) of my issues, folding my arms in. These are great drills.
Thanks Joe! Hope this one serves your game well!
Amazing tip that out of all of my instructors never told me. She be taught to every junior golfer.
Hope it helps ya Brent!
This is such a great video. I struggle with shaft lean and follow through and my coach has been giving me very similar drills as these. Very timely video for me :)
Hope it helps ya John!
@@CogornoGolf💩 pp0plpllllll
this video is so good, gives much confidence, thx
Thank you!👊
Great video. Love the drills
Thank you Steve!
This drill has helped me so much. I really struggle getting my trail shoulder down. I’ve incorporated this into my pre-shot routine yesterday and had some of the best iron striking ever! Was averaging 210 off the tee with my 6i yesterday!
Fantastic to hear!!
Great tips. Can’t wait to practice
Thanks! Hope this one serves your game well!
Always learn from and enjoy your instruction.
Happy to hear it, Rick! Thanks for watching!
Tried this today. Easy concept to practice with immediate results. Thanks.
Love it Cody
That's the best gift golf gave me today
Hope this one helps, Rick!
Nice. Love this tip.
Appreciate it Joseph!
Robert is a great guy. Always nice and pleasant. 2 of my favorites here
He's the best! Thank you for your kind words and support👊
As a senior golfer I like this particular lesson . Thank you very much .
Our pleasure, Patrick!
I’ve spilled whisky or was it whiskey but only after having too much whisky, but never out the end of my club. Enjoyed the simplicity of this lesson. Resubscribed.
Lol thanks Simmo!
Great training and practice drills. I struggle with making consistent solid contact with my irons! I hit them fat, thin, over the top, and to the right. After watching this video I realize I have poor rotation which causes me to really sling my arms towards the ball. Basically, my arms get ahead of my body... After watching this video my ball improved on the range and course using the pizza box method. However, I still hit a few bad shots but at least now I have a trusted method/system to build from instead of making swing changes every time I play. I was wondering how many others struggle with poor rotation and have the same problem. Now I am aware that the momentum from my arm swing actually rotates my body after my arms, subsequently making my finish/follow-through appear to be correct. The bad thing about this action is that I have been doing it for so long, it feels comfortable and normal. Bad habits are hard to break, keep practicing the good ones! Thanks for posting!
Love to hear your thoughts written here---you are on the right track! Our pleasure and hope you continue to see improvement and enjoy this beautiful game!
My favorite shot has always been a knockdown 9 iron or PW. It has always felt so good and it has great control. Makes perfect sense now. Thanks!
Love it! Our pleasure!
Great pizza of advice 👌
:)
Perfekt Video, thx
Thank you!
What a great video Eric, along with Robert, thank you. Such good drills to only create a slice of pizza! Thanks again for the great content.
Our pleasure David---appreciate you being here with us!
Great lesson. This is what I will work on all week. Love the chemistry between these two coaches, loved this session. Hey, Eric. How about Martin Chuck as a guest on one of your videos in the near future?
Thanks Aaron!
Robert is great---as is Martin!
We did some with Martin during our road trip a few years ago here:

ua-cam.com/video/U5HpvlNxT6M/v-deo.html
@@CogornoGolf Yes! Love it... You were at The Raven! Talk about two of the best coaches, ever! Great video. Thanks for sharing, Eric.
Martin is good...except now he's almost strictly a pitchman for his golf gadgets. I think he sold Renee Russo all her 'crap' in Tin Cup!
See 'Hit hard, stop fast' drills [Rob Cheney, Nick Taylor, etc] Builds same structure in arms, plus some other goodies.
Agreed! Steve and I did one on that here: ua-cam.com/video/S4BoK0BqyFE/v-deo.html
Thanks Eric! I need to do about a million of these arm straight drills... i have a really bad chicken wing issue and i need to just spend more time doing this... i find the longer the club the worse the chicken wing gets, its like i can't control the length of the club. When i have done this drill in the past i'm great from waist height but when i try to add speed or a longer swing it gets out of sync again. It's a great drill though and its a great reminder that i don't do this enough. It has to embed in if i keep doing it. 👍
Our pleasure, Peter! Hope this one helps your game!👊
Hands down one of the best tips ever. This is a game changer and should be the starting point for all first time golfers! I mean really, why not Eric?
Thank you! I agree Bob!
Eric, I understand that in order to have my arms straight after impact, I must turn my body. This is very difficult to me and probably I am doing something wrong prior to impact. Thanks for your advice on which part of my backswing should I focus to improve and have straighter arms after impact. Best, Carlos
Hey Carlos!
I would start with watching the two videos below and try out these feels and tips first.
ua-cam.com/video/30o9wILpWZU/v-deo.html
ua-cam.com/video/K17Kau1U9aI/v-deo.html
If you can't figure it out, send us your swings at www.cogornogolf.com! We'd love to work together on your game!
This simple release looks easy but hard for me. For being new, I'm hitting driver up to 200 yards straight but recently I see slicing. It nearly made me cried lol. To fix this, I have changed my grip from neutral to stronger. It helps but I want to hit further. I want to aim 300 yards. This beautiful release will get me there! Love all your videos Eric.
Hope it serves you well my friend! Appreciate your support!
Love the first drill. Second drill will absolutely help in preventing turning the clubhead closed immediately following impact.
Hope this one helps your game, Lori!
Interesting, I thought the second drill was to focus on keeping the club head down until it points to the second ball. Eric on the second drill what position should your trail palm be in when pointing at the second ball? Should it be in the "shaking hands" position or "collecting water in palm" position? Thanks
I love the drill, and be able to do it when swing slowly. The only thing is, when I do a full swing, I can't keep my arms straight and that's frustrating.
Hey there!
Start short and slow and gradually work your way up to longer and faster swings...give yourself more time and reps. Only go at a swing length and speed where you can still perform the movement correctly and video every swing to confirm👍
get an Impact Snap, changed my ball striking tremendously.
That's a fantastic aid, Don!
Keep It Simple System 👍
Yes!
So this is very simple and very straightforward and I always forget to do this. The only question I have is I do not feel like I generate any power like this. Then I end up chopping at the ball. Any thoughts?
Hey! For sure....but I would really need to see your swing on video to see what's goin on to provide any good suggestions there. Send swings to www.cogornogolf.com so we can help!
Simple...straightforward...something I can practice in my basement! Great tip.
Thank you Bruce!
Obi Wan, this is really helpful! Thanks buddy!
Our pleasure!👊
What a great visualisation (slice of pizza). Immediate positive results for me... low straight controlled ball flight. Many thanks 👍
Our pleasure! Thanks for watching, John!
Eric, another terrific video. At the 10:35 mark in the video after doing the drill you make the comment that "I can easily add a follow through." A bit later you say keep turning and the arms fold. Could you please expand on that? Once the arms are waist high on the follow through, what is the move or felling to make a full finish and not flip the club? Thanks
Thanks Mike!
Once you get your arms fully extended out towards the target, you can then just allow your arms and club to fold/wrap up over your lead shoulder into the finish position👍
Check out the 16:10 mark of this video for more details!

I watched the video you mentioned. Very helpful. I worked on the finish at the practice tee this evening. Many thanks !
Matt Wolff's swing trigger !!!
:)
Thanks for watching, Mark!
It's a knock-down drill, almost like a pitch shot into the wind.
Yep!
Great drill. What club do you recommend using? 7 iron?
Thanks for watching, Michael! A 7 or 8 iron is a great place to start👍
As you said in the video Eric, my punch shots are by far my most clean crisp strikes out the middle of the face compared to full shots, what is this mainly down to?
Hey Keiran!
That comes mainly down to how you use your wrists through the ball.
When you keep the arms/elbows the same distance and close together throughout the entire swing...that's going to help facilitate having good wrist angles, which leads to getting the hands more forward (which will have the shaft leaning forward at impact) + make the low point more forward. This all leads to getting more compression on the golf ball.

@@CogornoGolf thank you so much, that is really appreciated. I really enjoy your content, but I’m trying not to overload on information at the moment. This will really help, still only 18 months into my golf journey.
An excellent drill. However, would this work with a rounded swing as described by Jim Hardy, former PGA teacher of the year.
Thanks James! Yes for sure----any swing style really
How do you like to see the wrist work in this exercise. Doing these drills and then going to my full swing the face was staying too open.
Hey Matthew.....heres a recent one I did on how the wrists work through the ball you could use with this to help that:
ua-cam.com/video/ftWnnkUoxDA/v-deo.html&pp=ygUURXJpYyBDb2dvcm5vIHJlbGVhc2U%3D
@@CogornoGolf thank you for the reply!
@@CogornoGolf This was awesome! I've been trying to fix my impact for a while and struggled with hitting a cut, but it was because I was holding on too long. Do you prefer to see a similar turning over of the wrist with wedges or more held off? Thank you!
99% of comments from online instructors talk about what amateur golfers don't do right ... can you tell us what amateurs do that help them improve? Which specific movement patterns?
Sure thing----I would start with this:
ua-cam.com/video/hJtaJFiKFrY/v-deo.html&pp=ygUlRXJpYyBDb2dvcm5vIGdvbGYgc3RhcnQgdGhlIGRvd25zd2luZw%3D%3D
Any of those motions they do would help them with general movement patterns.
Then this....any of these they do help them control face and path stuff:
ua-cam.com/video/Uxw4BcB_RZM/v-deo.html
Eric, would the “pizza principle” apply to the driver swing as well?
Yes! All clubs👍
Not sure if its only me but sound is a bit low(yes i checked my settings and volume 🙂, enjoying the vids btw
Sorry about that---thank for watching Grant!
Been looking for that thing that makes my swing look ugly on camera and kills my consistency. This is it. Problem solved. Thanks.
:)
Will this drill help a driver swing too?
Hey Ken! Yes
Gave this a shot today and I can see long term benefits of doing this on a regular basis but it is so, so hard to stop the clubhead at waste high and not have a hard draw. Was hitting 7 iron at a flagstick about 110 yards away. Any tips?
Hey Steve!
Thanks for watching!
Hard to say 100% without seeing your swing on video, but you can start by checking the club face pieces in this video and make sure you aren't overdoing any of them👍
ua-cam.com/video/fCW9W_lGQtM/v-deo.html
Hope this helps!
sorry, where is the forarms rotation after impact on that position?
Hey there!
Here are two videos I think you'll enjoy on this topic:

I'm hungry for PIZZA!!!
:)
So really I just need an extra long club so I can leave it in my belly button - perfect rotation every time!
Lol
My downloader is broken :-/
Yet another thing in the golf swing that I'm not doing right... Starting to think I'm a lost cause right about now 😂
Only room for improvement then right ?! :)
@@CogornoGolf with everything I need to work on, it's going to take a long, long time...
But, I must say, most of the absolute purist shots of my "career" came from in the woods trying to keep it low. Pure pure pure
You guys look like fresh lobster out of the steamer. Saturation went crazy on this video. Good tips tho
:) Thank you!
👏👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏👍🍷
👊👊
I like this and don’t like this… yes rotate fully,belly button,etc. The arm structure in the following thru you suggest seems too rigid,, impedes release of the forearms and naturally loose wrists.Also Freddy, bends his left elbow and rehinges earlier. I guess you can play good golf either way?
Haha I hear ya...of course you always have the choice of what you want to do :)
As an exercise I would consider modeling success.
Look at all the pros at a few feet past impact/follow through and see what you notice.
Do the same for those who shoot in the 80s, 90s, 100s, etc
What you will notice is as the golfer gets WORSE......they have two things in common
1. Arms more bent
2. Less Rotation
The better the golfer you will notice
1. Arms more straight
2. More rotation
Hope that helps guide you!
Constructive criticism… I like the lesson here (good drill, good filming, good audio, etc.), but I kinda feel like it could have been delivered in a video that was less than three or four minutes long. There’s so much unnecessary verbiage in your videos. I really think your videos provide good information and insight to the golf swing. I do think they need to be scripted just a little better, and condensed down into a video that’s more concise.
Thanks for the feedback!
we need new and creative drills not the same ol'. you're just beating the dead horse with these super old drills.
Thanks for the feedback Tohm!
