Your videos have been extremely helpful. I’ve gained significant distance with my driver due to your backswing and transition videos. Keep posting!
Appreciate the kind words....glad to hear that!
Hi Eric, I watched this vid yesterday, went to the range, practiced both swings, played great golf this morning. Many thanks for posting this excellent video.
Love to hear that! Thanks, Chip!
Cheers for this, I been tryin to find out about "how do you determine golf grip size?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Reyuhaffad Underlying Recognition - (do a google search ) ? It is an awesome exclusive product for discovering how to revealing an effortless golf swing technique without the normal expense. Ive heard some interesting things about it and my work buddy got amazing results with it.

The tip about the left shoulder turning up a lot faster was HUGE for me. I kept slicing my driver. As soon as you said it, it clicked. I hit the range and I am now crushing my driver with a draw or straight shot. Insane...
Love to hear that, Nick! Sometimes its something minor that can make a major difference!
Wow! Thank you for this video. Can’t wait to make these adjustments to my game.
Our pleasure, Juan! Hope it helps!
Fantastic videos Eric! Marty is a great teacher! I am going to try these tips tonight and so far just practicing my swing in the office, it feels much better! Thank you!
Thanks, Ryan! Marty is great! Hope it helps!!
😂)❤w😊😊😊😊aw
Great episode again Keep up with the good work Eric Cogorno. Tom from the UK
Thanks, Thomas!
Great video thank you. I have had lessons and lost any swing I had and being a complete novice that only plays 6 games a year, I am grateful for your video.
I shall go and practice these swings.
Regards
Gary UK
Thanks, Gary! Hope it helps!
Wow, love the “touch knee” tips!
I am relearning the golf swing as I was taught the 'hip slide' method (12:11). Thank you Eric for bringing this video lesson to my attention.
My pleasure my friend-hope it helps!
Hi Eric!
Thanks for this video lesson.
You explain many things clearly.
Good luck!
Thank you! Appreciate my friend!
Thank you very much!
Thank you very much!
thank you, instruction is very clear
Thanks Marko!
Eric- bad ass lesson brew!!!
Thanks!!
Eric, phenomenal video with GREAT detail explaining Driver vs Iron instruction. I was hearing checkpoints with the hands for driver on the side of right leg vs. chipping with hand on the left knee in order to have the proper spine angle. Amazing instruction my friend !!!!!
👊Thank you! Hope this one serves you well!
Great tips... will try it out.
Thanks, Matthew! Hope it helps!
Very good video. I’ll take this to the driving range ASAP!
:) Thanks, Bruce! Hope it helps!
Great video Eric, super job and keep it up.
Thanks Jeff!
That was absolutely fantastic instruction!
Thanks Kevin!
Thanks Eric! One of the best videos I have seen.
Thanks, Dennis!
Coach Eric please upload more down swing drill and best tips as im bad in it.
I love your detailed drilling videos.so encouraging and supportive.love and respect from Shaheera Ashraf
Can do-thanks for the support!
This was great, been searching for "how do you determine golf grip size?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Reyuhaffad Underlying Recognition - (search on google ) ? It is a great one of a kind guide for discovering how to revealing an effortless golf swing technique without the headache. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my colleague got excellent results with it.
Honestly Eric, one of your best videos - and maybe one of the best instructional videos on the golf swing I have ever seen.
Thanks, Paul! Appreciate it!
what a great video boys....awesome..
Thanks, Paul!
Wow! Great stuff!
Thanks! Appreciate you watching!
Really really good video!
Thank you!!
Awesome descriptions... and preswing guides for tilts... Wish I had seen this before spending 1.5 hrs at TopGolf today..
:) Better late than never ?
Wow !!!
Thank you gentlemen.
Very good video.
I hope I can swing better.
Hope it helps, Edward! Appreciate the kind words!
Great video!
Thanks, Antonio!
Thanks Eric.
You got it my friend!
thanks a lot 👍👍 great
Appreciate it!
This is an excellent instructional video.
I try to work on these check points on the range, but often lose focus because I hit too many balls.
My aim is to be able to complete my swings for both driver and irons subconsciously.
I don’t know if that is ever possible.
Appreciate it!
I'll be rooting for ya!
20-30 balls per session with all of your focus on mechanics would be PLENTLY.
I would structure your practice something like this

Good content, really
Thanks Rene!
Great video
Thanks!
im from jakarta indonesia... i love your video... help me so much
Thanks!
When I first see the length of this video 17:58 I think it is too long and hesitate to spend time on it. But after watching, this is among the best and clearly worth watching. Well done. Thanks from Bangkok.
Appreciate that! Thanks for watching! Mary wasn't thrilled with editing 18 min either :)
Great video showing the swing differences between Iron and Driver, need to find a video that can show you the best drills to train your muscles and your mind (more important) using these techniques
Thanks, Michael!
Eric - in my opinion, your videos are always great, but this video is one of your best ever! Awesome tips and instruction that's easy to follow and practice. Your guest instructor was also super helpful and informative. Also - your travels this winter to create new content with guest instructors has been absolutely fantastic! Seriously. Must see UA-cam golf instruction.
Thanks, Cory! Really appreciate the kind words my friend and glad you are enjoying! I hope all is well with you and you continue to enjoy future videos :)
ขอบคุณครับ
Hi Eric, would appreciate if u can explain details for mid and long iron respectively. Thanks
Hey Roshan!
Copying this from a similar question below
"In this video we laid out that there is a different setup between shorter clubs (9 iron) and longer clubs (driver)
What do you do for in between clubs?
Find a happy medium. Ofcourse we can discuss specific #'s if needed.
The thing that may be adjusted
1. Ball position ( more forward with longer clubs)
2. Tilt (more tilt with longer clubs)
3. Width of stance (wider with longer clubs)
4. Posture (taller with longer clubs)
Hope that helps"
this guy is great
Appreciate it!
excellent video - love the tip with getting tilt right by using the hands. So looking at various sites I see some contradictory takes on the downswing, particularly whether or not there is a lead hip bump. In one source a driver instructional shows -- as correct and desirable -- a move to a left side where the left knee is pretty flexed, but the trail leg is more or less extended. I see in other videos the Sam Snead squat look (as in this video) where the left knee separates further from the trail knee and both remain flexed until the big push off to get the release. Any thoughts?
Hello!
Thanks for the kind words.
Yes...lots of thoughts..
Of course it starts with the FACT that EVERYONE golfer will some SOME amount of FORWARD SHIFT, TURN and EXTEND.
The goal is to find the correct MIX of these moves to get the hips to the wall
These videos should help:
**ALSO note there is not ONE way. RORY does not do it the same way as Jon Rahm....they are 1-2 in the world.

It's insane how much of this you learn without knowing it, if you invest the time intelligently.
Kinda cool hearing it explained.
:)
This was very interesting, great info!!
Thanks, Mange!
Hi Eric, great video as usual, the guy mentions your body is facing forward/open at impact with the iron. Is this the same with the driver?
Thanks
Thanks, Lee!
Yep
That hitting pad is so bad ass. Do you have a video about how the left hand works in the driver release?
Yeah its solid!
I do not think we have that specifically....
this is great. i'm starting to learn this after too many years :) Where does fairway woods fit in with this? Should they be treated as driver (with reference to body tilt) or irons?
They are right about in between....SOME TILT.....more than irons but less than driver.
Some of these should help with details:

I keep slicing my driver and have tried all of the tips from grip to lower body movement. Could it be my swing speed and shaft stiffness?
Its that your club face is too open.

Great video !!! Your going to see more 59’s in golf with all this great information !!!
Thanks!
Haha...maybe 79s :)
Hey Eric. I am learning to use ladies hybrid’s (4,5.6). What set-up and back swing is used? The irons or driver?
Irons!
what about the longer clubs? Do you use the same setup and swing the same as 9 iron? Also the rescue clubs and 3 wood ? A bit confused on the positions of the 5 iron up,
Hey James!
In this video we laid out that there is a different setup between shorter clubs (9 iron) and longer clubs (driver)
What do you do for in between clubs?

The thing that may be adjusted
1. Ball position ( more forward with longer clubs)

4. Posture (taller with longer clubs)

Sounds great, what vco’s are you using?
Hey Erik!
Not sure...send a message to service@cogornogolf.com and they can help
Great Video, thank you.
Can I ask you please Sir.
I prefer not much angle in the upswing, like Xander Schauffele.
About 120 degree, not 90 degree.
I want to decrease the angle in the downswing.
Do you have a video about it?
Thank you very much, Erich
Hey Erich!
Yes! Search my name and "wrist set" and "wrist hinge" and you'll find a bunch of good ones👍
Here are two to start:

@@CogornoGolf Great, thank you very much!
Good. I have trying to solve my driver swing for decades as I used to rotated on the ball of after the ball.
Hope it helps!
Leverage to push !!! Genius !!!
Yessir
I'd have to agree. I 2nd that. Thank you for the video
6:49 guy in Backround what swing was that trying to kill a bee???
Eric, Don't you have a coupon code for the impact snap ? It's very expensive for international buyers 150 Dollars... Thanks. Rico
Hey Rico, I believe out coupon code is ECGOLF
Hi Eric, I find that, it is quite difficult to drive a 9 degree driver compare with a 10.5 degree. Do my chs is not fast enough as my chs is 95-98mph？Thank you your advice🙏
higher loft when in doubt
I was with you from the beginning and by the looks of your hit counts you're doing great. Good 4 you homey! I have good taste lol
Haha thanks man! Appreciate ya :)
Hi Eric. Could you clarify something for me with respect the the irons. Marty said it's a ""push and turn"" which seems different to me than a golf "swing" (ie arms swinging). Is there a difference? Thanks
Hey Stanley,
I believe the push and turn he is referring to is strictly talking about the body motions.
So just a different topic.
Of course there will be an arm swing as well.....but here we were just talking body!
Thanks Eric. Your answer helps me understand. Thanks for your videos. @@CogornoGolf
when ever im behind the ball on the driver i alway push or slice to the right?
Have to fix open clubface
Hey Eric - are we still pushing with the lead foot with irons? Does that happen later in the swing compared to driver?
Hey man!
What you say pushing with the lead foot.....what do you mean?
Eric Cogorno Golf hey I mean like in the downswing pushing back off of it to create that ‘jump’
Oh I gotcha!
I think in terms of what you are FEELING....more or less the same.
If we were to measure specifically.....like if I was taking a written test.....the answer would be you may see some differences.
Where YOU are with your swing and priorities I would say best bet to assume "yes you are still pushing, roughly the same time"
Eric, Great videos, all a cut above what I’ve seen elsewhere. I’ve played the game for thirty-five years and am still confused by the driver swing. Seen from overhead, the swing path is an arc; so with ball placed further up in your stance for the driver why hasn’t the club begun to turn back in too soon, before the ball has even been reached? I hope that’s clear. Put another way, if you drew an arc and put a dot where the ball for an iron shot is on that arc and them, without changing the arc, moved the dot forward, it, the dot, would no longer be on the swing path at all. Capisce? So you have to make some adjustment. I just don’t know what that adjustment is, and my drives, I’m afraid, reflect that.
That is assuming your body is in the same place it started
What happens when you body is rotated toward the target? Where do the hands go?
Driver ball more forward to change the vertical angle of attack to more up...
You will be hitting up and slightly left on the arc ....unless you move your swing direction more right (which many players do with setup more closeD)
@@CogornoGolf you
Mike said that he doesnt care if the club is a bit inside the hands in the backswing cause thats a position a slicer never gets too. Does he mean at p2 or p3 or? And is this ok for me who is not a slicer?
P2
Yes
Great content as usual, and particularly like the knee tap for proper tilt at setup. You guys surely know the golf swing better than I ever will, but it seems like the takeaway is more that differences at setup cause a difference in impact position more than the swings being fundamentally “ different” from each other. Agree? That idea would be reassuring to me because I want to build ONE, repeatable swing that works across all ball positions and clubs rather than feeling like I have club dependent swings.
Thats correct! Its mostly all setup differences....head more back with driver would be the only thing I may consciously add different
Where should you head be with the iron shot? Ball even with the left eye?
This should explain:

ua-cam.com/video/ivMrpxZAavM/v-deo.html
Why when I swing a driver 105 mph but my 6 iron is only 78 mph . I do have major casting probs with irons . What would an expected 6 iron speed be with my driver speed
ccmorgan53 a 6 iron club is not supposed to swing as fast as a driver because it’s way shorter than a driver.
I would have to see your swing to say for sure. Join Cogornogolf.com so we can help if you cant get it sorted
Eric with the driver does the trail heal come up as he “had” you do with the iron? Great “game changer!”
Hey Ricky!
For some it does, for others not as much.
Most will be "some amount" up before impact.
You guys are awesome and great to learn and understand they golf swing dynamic and geometry. Thanks again for sharing so much.
Thanks, Patrick! Appreciate it my friend!
I have a question about ball position in relation to tee height. If I'm playing an older driver (43") with a smaller club head, should my ball position be farther back (as well as lower) than it would be for a longer driver with a larger club head?
I find I have trouble squaring up at impact with drivers longer that 43". Also, I've tried making my own shorter drivers with 460cc heads, but they just feel weird compared to drivers with smaller heads.
Hey Steve!
Could be.
I do not know.
I don't think there is a universal yes vs no for this. Logic would say "yes" but you would need to test both and see what wins.
@@CogornoGolf Will do, thanks.
Isn’t the set up steps the same for all clubs but the length of club dictates position/tilt dynamically due to club length? I think it adds complexity to something that is already complicated enough when thinking of different swing for different club? Also, I was under the impression that turning of the shoulders should pull the pelvis /hips around in backswing ? In this video I think you said “ once club is parallel then push pelvis around to complete the swing”?
Hey! Thanks for the message
1. The amount your upper body is bent over (flexion) is determined primarily by the length of club. Shorter club, more bent over. Longer club taller. Thats all.
2. I don't ever think about changing my amount I'm bent over from club to club, we are simply explain things here .
3. I think you and he are saying the same thing there.
I find when there is more than one person teaching the lesson gets totally fouled up!! However that is not the case here; most excellent!!
Very concise for a lengthy topic! You instantly know Mary had it all scripted!!🤣
Appreciate it! No scripts where we come from...lots of winging it! :)
Eric, One thing you guys did not talk enough about ;) When you initiate your downswing, I notice that your legs (knees) move in opposite directions. In other words, you attempt to “sit down”. This I think adds to the power of your swing. IMHO, I would like to hear more about this move :)
BTW, I’m almost 70 and the move I mention is one that I’m working on now :)

Is this at Bethlehem driving range?
Yessir!

What about woods?
Fairway woods off ground?
Middle ground.
I'm glad Mary told that guy to move on behind you guys
what is the difference between all your videos on youtube vs what I'd be paying for on your site?
The ability to get swing feedback, access to all of the masterclasses and over 100+ videos not on youtube or anywhere else.
The real value is the facebook community in my opinion....getting swing feedback and getting in community conversations.
He loves that.
Lol!
You should use an amateur vs someone who already knows what they are doing
Agreed that's a good idea
Why is he straightened his rt leg on the back swing with the driver and if you lead with the shoulder downward in the downswing you are automatically setting the club to come over the top with a dead pull to the right... Just saying your tips aren't that helpful for some are creating more issues... Like the one about keeping the clubface square to the arc though.
Thanks for the feedback, Joe!
No such thing as driver vs iron swing.
Ball position is the only variable.
There’s just one swing.
And the downswing sequence at 12:00 is incorrect.
At 13:18, you early extended due to an incorrect downswing sequence.
You lost at least 7 mph club head speed from that initial move.
Thanks for your feedback, Scott!
Looks likes a very complicated swing lesson
Thanks for the feedback-sorry about that!
just a fun fact that guy behind you keeps putting lip balm or vaseline on his driver after evey swing lol
:)
that is not true, swing up with driver and deloft it. Would creat a spinloft close to 0. Not true at all. People please dont listen to this!
Thanks for the feedback!
Wow, love the “touch knee” tips!
:)
