Perfect timing for this video. struggled with distance at the range couple days ago and watched video of myself and I was hitting driver more like an iron. This was a simple reminder, keep front shoulder up. Instant distance.
these are awesome. you ever think about putting together a "playlist" in the order of how you'd teach someone new the fundamentals? like video 1 setup, video 2 backswing, video 3 downswing, video 4 rotation etc. i think this would help me quite a bit and likely others too!
Hey Nick! Yes for sure....but we decided to do that more for our community at www.cogornogolf.com and also my Blueprint I put together here: ericcogornogolf.podia.com/eric-cogorno-s-full-swing-blueprint
Great video ! I implemented the left shoulder up and back move and instantly hit the ball higher, more solidly and farther. It works with the irons as well, just a different setup. Thank you!
So much of instruction is getting your feel as you perform the swing Eric demonstrates. For me, focusing on hand path makes the shoulder work. As Eric says all the time, video yourself and check yourself. Use whatever feel you need to get the result.
Awesome video. I was literally working on this at the range this evening. Hitting to the right of target line but I think it’s more of an alignment issue.
Wow, I just submitted my driver swing video to my Cogorno instructor about an hour ago. This video explains exactly everything about my driver swing. Older golfer and hitting down on the ball with a low launch angle and a MAJOR loss of distance. Your "Right Palm Down UA-cam lesson from P2-P3" was a game changer for my irons and hybrids. But I have struggled to make that lesson work with the driver. Perfect timing! Thanks, Eric!
I have been working on my driver the last few weeks and gained speed from 150 to 167 ball speed. I am using my left hip as the trigger to start my down swing and allowing my arms to whip through the ball as I try to stay back. It has been helping to keep the ball straight and gone from fade / hook to draw. How does the left shoulder fit in that process?
Hey! Yeah that all sounds right....the left shoulder fits in just as I explain in this video for ya.....work up UP and BACK as your head stays back. If you want to have less hook feel it more AROUND (left) as the hands and arms work more left through the ball as well
Eric, is it important to maintain swing speed through impact? Today while playing, I had a drive go the right ( not a slice ). But I felt like just before impact I slowed way down. It was like hitting a bad bunker shot.
Hey! YES Check this one on fairway woods we did this year with Grant Horvat: ua-cam.com/video/TxaCLJ4FPys/v-deo.html Some older ones on fairway woods here: ua-cam.com/video/iYvQIEoJAic/v-deo.html&pp=ygUaRXJpYyBDb2dvcm5vIGZhaXJ3YXkgd29vZHM%3D
Looks so obviously easy when a teacher shows the lesson …then i get to the range and struggle to even make contact when implementing the lesson(s)🤦🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️👍🏼✌️…will definitely try it 🤞🏻🤞🏻and hope the ballet of corrections i make throughout my swing don’t interfere when trying to make proper swing path 😬… its not you , its me obviously 🏌🏼fore right ‼️😂
You CAN....with driver ball position is more forward....underneath lead armpit for most I like hands just inside left thigh That will have the shaft roughly straight up and down Some have hands slightly more forward.....that would promote more PUSH/DRAW Some have hands/shaft slightly more back....that would promote more PULL/FADE
Hey Luke! Yep as your left shoulder works UP and BACK......your RIGHT shoulder stays DOWN......that keeps your inclination to the ground and prevents early extension

Yes!
Your demos/instructions are always top shelf 👌
Appreciate it!

Thanks Jay! Hope this one serves you well👊
If you don't get it sorted, send us your swings at CogornoGolf.com...would be an easy fix!
Best instruction because it’s clear. Well done.
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing Eric, top notch as always…
Appreciate it!
Very easy to follow and extremely helpful. Thank you
Thanks Scott!
Great lesson 👍
Thanks Darren!

Yessir----we got ya covered :) Appreciate you being with us and your support!
Thanks Eric.
My pleasure! Thank you!

100-%
So another video for irons you talked about a feeling of " down & around" for your lead shoulder. The driver is an almost opposite feel?
Thats correct---I go through that specific different between irons and driver with lead shoulder here:
ua-cam.com/video/zqoxhAatv1U/v-deo.html
I like the left shoulder move
Me too Steve :)
Hi Eric quick question once you’ve got ball position and then tilt I guess ball is now outside the arm pit etc ?
Hey Richard! Good question---you want ball position under the armpit (roughly) AFTER the tilt
Eric, how do I incorporate bracing with your recommended hand path?? thanks
Hey Joseph! What you say bracing what do you mean?
Please, Can you do a video on fairway woods off the deck. My woods game is a train wreck.
Hey! YES
Check this one on fairway woods we did this year with Grant Horvat:

Eric, in addition to the movement of the lead shoulder, should the trail knee move towards the lead knee and the trail elbow move past the trail hip?
Hey! Yes absolutely

Start short and slow and use video feedback! Hope it helps!
Can you set up with your hands in front of the club head? Towards the target?
shouldnt with driver
You CAN....with driver ball position is more forward....underneath lead armpit for most
I like hands just inside left thigh
That will have the shaft roughly straight up and down
Some have hands slightly more forward.....that would promote more PUSH/DRAW
Some have hands/shaft slightly more back....that would promote more PULL/FADE
How do you fight a hook with the driver and still hit draws my preference?
Hey! Im not sure I understand exactly what you mean can you re phrase?
How do I avoid early extension with this shoulder up move?
keep your side bend
Hmmm…I’ll give that some thought and try it.
Hey Luke! Yep as your left shoulder works UP and BACK......your RIGHT shoulder stays DOWN......that keeps your inclination to the ground and prevents early extension
50 yards roll? Not likely but I get hitting up helps.
:)
👏👏👏👍
Appreciate it :)
Keeping my head back has really improved my driver Eric 🫡👊🏽 ! should I feel the left arm rotation with my driver like your supination iron drills?
Hey Frank! Love it----absolutely yes! Just like this one:
ua-cam.com/video/llgmdwOPxx4/v-deo.html
With the assumption that you're hitting the sweet spot as well. 🏌️⛳
Haha yeah true...always with that assumption :)
