Wow...the inside of the right arm facing front...i can see how that would help you not early release. I do that with driver but not with irons. These guys are literally the best teachers of golf on youtube...by far.

Appreciate it, Ryan!!!
Best details of golfswings
Thank you!
Best explanation I’ve ever seen. Love the detail - legend
Thanks for watching, Mark! Hope this one helps your game!
When I strengthened my right hand and that naturally put me more in this position it created a feeling of being level similar to hitting a baseball my ball striking changed dramatically. Great video
Love it!!
Great video. In summary, it’s amazing how limited the golf swing can be without width. So much good can happen with width.
Thank you!
100%!
Another great drill. Not sure when you started the two-camera set up but the face on and dtl views are fantastic.
Thank you!
Rob Cheney was just working on that right elbow feeling but using that football shaped training aid. When I’m on the coarse playing I feel like I’m pushing the right elbow into the left. It really works and I love the way you described it as well. It makes you hit a nice draw.
Love that!
My inside right arm simply needed to be facing the ball on setup. I’ve had the damndest time attempting the correct right elbow before impact position, but this solved it for me... Dennis follows with building the setup.. getting the draw… dialing it in. Exactly what I needed. Cogorno, we’ll played.
Thanks so much for watching, David! Happy this one helped!
What a video ! Thanks !
Thank you, Bertrand! Our pleasure!
I’d like to think you chose that video as an answer to my recent inquiry. Whether it was dumb luck or coincidence, thanks for a great video.
:) Thank you, Vern!
Good timing for this video. During my last round, I was focusing on keeping my right arm bent longer and getting it in front me at impact then straightening at your 45 degrees after impact. Unfortunately, I think I hyperextended my right arm and I don't know what I did incorrectly that caused it. Did I swing out to the right instead of around more to the left?
Hey Alex! Cant say without seeing your swing on video....but the hands definitely need to move up and left through and past impact
Hey, I think I have the same injury right now. It’s been about a month since I hurt my right elbow because I was extending too early and not getting a proper weight shift toward the target. I have been practicing half swings doing this same technique and I feel better about getting both arms extended past impact.
The camera is so important because most of what we "Feel" does not correlate with what we might see. Excellent video instruction.
100%. Thank you!
Wally Armstrong, one of golfs top pga teaching professionals came up with the idea of using a simple clothes hanger to get the feel of proper swing plane and to stay connected. A great training aid. 👍
I like it!
Very good!
Thanks, Roger!
Great video. Trail arm (elbow) and the proper movement is soooo important. As I teach I have discovered you have to be careful how you teach this to a one plane swing player vs a two plane swing player. The function of the trail elbow is basically the same but because of the two different postures at set up (two plane swing more upright vs one plan swing more bent over) the right elbow will be less bent in the set up for two plane and more bent at set up for the one plane because of the more bending over. Also, I feel to feel the elbow is more turned in the lead shoulder should feel like it is pointing slightly right of the target. Takeaway to toe up sets the trail elbow really good. In the approach to impact the feeling should be keeping the trail elbow bent and the release point is in front of the impact zone. Now for the two plane swing the pointing will be closer to the ball or straighter trail arm with a more upright explosion of the body like Lexi or Bubba vs a more pointing out front for a one plane swing like a Fowler, Garcia or Kuchar. The fundamental is the same but look is different because of the different postures.
Thank you Cal! Appreciate you watching!!👊🏼
That right arm 90 degree feel at the top of the backswing is really excellent.
Yes!
Great lesson. Thank you, Eric. Would like to see a pivot video some time. Best wishes.
👊Thanks Tim! Check this video out!

great video guys
Thank you!
Very good theme gyus✌️. Good presentation too!
Thank you, Kari! Appreciate it!
Great tips
Thanks Lenard!
Hammer!
Thank you for watching!
Good lesson. Definitely applies to irons just wondering if it applies to driver or 3 wood off the tee or does a little right tilt compensate for weight shift right?
Yes....very similar right arm actions but body motions quite different....starting with setup like you mentioned
ua-cam.com/video/TJtx-qVSgVU/v-deo.html
Really good lesson here. Much more critical than some might see.
Dennis good teacher.
I'm suspicious that developing golfers actually understand the essential importance of these concepts for getting low point past the ball.
The idea that full length radius is not reached till that 45 degree point past the ball that is .
Conceptually, golfers tend to default to a simplistic view of the swing as having a constant radius and hyper focus on ball position, weight/pressure shifts , etc to control low point. When actually the radius shortens in backswing then extends again during the downswing of course.
Impact radius being shorter than address radius(huge concept here). We don't return to and then go past address radius until well past the ball.
As we advance the low point targetward with pressure and swing center moving slightly forward.
Though minorly important , ball position, swing center shift, and pressure shift cannot advance low point without the ideas presented here in action.
So the radius at impact, with considerable rear wrist extension still present , is considerably shorter than address, which means a lowering from address position must occur to actually make contact. This is where returning to back flexion from top of swing back extension and rear side crunch comes into play.
Often a light bulb moment for students is showing them that they cannot make contact with rear wrist extension without this lowering . They will pass over the ball .
And of course the vast majority of golfers are doing exactly the opposite; throwing their rear elbow and rear hand angles early, actually making tbe radius longer than at address , which compels the dreaded "early extension" in order to not hit the ground . The body always will solve the problem, but it's gotta be the right problem. Early extension is a solution to the wrong problem. And the ideas in this lesson are a big part of creating the right problem to solve.
I found the best way to stop early extension with students is to teach them to make impact with rear wrist extension still in place. As you two demonstrate here.
Bottom line is that this lesson is much more important than it might appear on the surface.. It solves many consequential issues. It gives the right problem to solve for the body and many good things come consequentially as a result .
It's a root concept that drives so many good things.
👍
Really really good comment here...I may need to do a new video explaining radius setup vs impact and the HOWS like you outlined.
@@CogornoGolf I have a feeling that if you do, it might be a massive light bulb moment for your adoring fans.😉👍
@@CogornoGolf
Eric. It so happens Milo posted a beautiful explanation of the clockwise forearm rotation for right handers from the top, that I've been trying to persuade you of for over a year, that ties right into this lesson. Take a look at it . It would wrap the lesson you propose doing up with a tidy bow.
😉👍
Haha I saw it-thanks! All of these concepts have been around for a long time....I remember getting a lesson like that when I was 16. Whats new is old----great game!
Great video. Would love to see a pivot video. Thanks
Thanks Edward! Here's one you may enjoy!

When you mention the right hand pushing away, could the feel also be the right elbow raising higher?
Yes and more away from target
I always try feel like Im accelerating my hands through the ball, really helps
Something to ponder:
When we study pros vs recreational golfers, pro's hands/arms accelerate much sooner, almost immediately from the top, and stop accelerating much sooner, and are decelerating through impact, where as recreational golfers accelerate the hands/arms much later in the downswing with less deceleration through impact.
Ponder that because it's super important.
If your hands/arms were actually accelerating through impact the club would never "release" without manual pressure through the hands.
In other words the energy of the upper levers would never be transferred to the lower lever, the shaft.
Hey Aidan I would say the same as below......in terms of what REALLY is happening.
Of course FEELS and REALS are different things and you are allowed to feel anything you want that produces the results you want and he would agree as well!
@@555Trout ill correct myself then, when i say my hands i really mean more my wrists coming through impact. Just a feel of mine to make sure I'm releasing properly towards the target
Well, on the plus side, I have my right arm facing correctly. On the negative side, I'm terrible at the rest of it lol. Appreciate the content here and I'll certainly attempt to get the 90 bend at the top and while I know I need to fire later in the swing, I just can't seem to get over that mental hurdle for some reason.
Start slow and short! Appreciate you watching Aaron!👊
Hi Eric,great video as always.Cant see the link for the hanger,where is it?

Appreciate the kind words! :)
I extend early and I’m still struggling with getting my club head square with extending after the ball. It is a work in progress.
Keep at it Brian!👊
Eric, my problem is with a conventional distance from the ball my right elbow hits my torso and the face closes (I need to trim some weight I know). I get some big hooks and pull hooks from there. Should I consider moving my hands further from my body? I've already pulled my hips back as far as I can and that does create some space. But it also puts me into a more bent over position, which doesn't feel too good on the back. Your suggestions?
Maybe.....to be honest I don't like giving any suggestions without seeing your swing on video. That way I can say with 100% certainty and not guess.
Can send in at www.cogornogolf.com if you are ready for some guidance!
pga tour average right arm bend at completion of backswing is 76 degrees
Thanks Scott! We like to use 90* to give a simple visual
Good stuff…
Thank you!
Good morning sir can we hit all the irons like that, in same set up
I would suggest adjusting setup with irons as I describe here.....feet width and tilt main variables...

Key checkpoints from down the line
ua-cam.com/video/c5FJRwZ_GnI/v-deo.html
Do you think it’s possible to get that R elbow too straight all the way through the backswing (total reverse of Fault 1)? I’ve found for fear of bending the R arm too much I keep it extended a ton and don’t really let it bend on the backswing until the very top. Could this be too much of a good thing? Or is keeping it as straight as possible fine?
100% can be too straight and have to fold it more....I would say I see 70% too bent....30% too straight.
You would need to feel MORE of the folding on way back

Any drill to ingrain keeping right arm bent long enough? Thanks. Barbara
Get your trail shoulder more DOWN and FORWARD in the downswing (the more right side bend you have the shorter the arm has to be)

It's so hard to not early release those wrists on the way down. Working on that. wish someone explained it to me at age 13 and not 48!
Work in progress :)
Helps to make sure
1. Your club face is square to closed to path
2. Body is working how it should!
@@CogornoGolf number 2. Easier said than done 😜😜
Lol of course :)
Love the video. How important is it to start the downswing with forward weight shift and hip rotation leaving the hands and arms stationary and then let the arms rotate with the core? Is there a video for that?
Hey Steve!
This sounds like it may be what you're looking for:
ua-cam.com/video/CvAN608kqz0/v-deo.html
Does the hanger work for people who use a strong grip?
For sure!
Its still OK (and usually preferred) to have a slight cup in lead wrist with stronger grip so you can set up accordingly
ua-cam.com/video/S776LyvM6Pc/v-deo.html
Where should the back of the wrist point when fully straightened please?
Up the plane line.
At that 45* mark it would point down and to the right....just outside and forward of the ball
Do you really throw the right arm, or is it more passive and just getting pulled through by the pivot and left arm? One thing that has me convinced that this is the case is the slow motion driver video of Bryson that they showed during a tourney this year showing how he was maintaining the angle of his right hand at impact…his right hand was literally off the club (he was not squeezing the club or applying force).
Generally speaking I would say you would look for the straightening of the right arm to be a PASSIVE movement....a lot of times the more active parts will need to be not over bending in the backswing and sometimes more external/less internal in transition.
Of course if you have good movements before and do them NATURALLY then it requires no extra thought, but if not then we need to consciously/actively change something to change it
@@CogornoGolf thanks!!
what does releasing the hands mean
Hey Barbara!
Here are two videos to help answer your question regarding the release👊

Let us know if you have any questions!
What a mark up on his training aid. 60$!
Hey Neal! I respect your opinion and feedback.
Its not my training aid its from a company called Watson Golf. With that said I think the price is a BARGAIN.
What if $60 could revolutionize your golf swing and ball striking ability?
People pay thousands for that that....so $60 could be the steal of a lifetime...
Its not about what it costs to make its about what you get from it!
@@CogornoGolf Hey Eric! I respect yours as well but if you really cared about revolutionizing peoples games wouldn’t you try to get it in as many hands as possible? Maybe you should create a model of your own design and charge half the price as it is simply a small piece of plastic. I’m sure your audience would purchase it from you at half the cost. I know I would as I really do enjoy your videos and Instruction. The price tag just put me off when I look at it for what it really is. Just a piece of plastic.
Thanks for your perspective, Neal. We are very happy with the hanger so far.
Hope all is well!

And ball flight. wink
How about letting the guest speak a little?
Haha sorry about that Chris, my bad!
@@CogornoGolf Yea no problem, really enjoy your stuff. Originally from your neck of the woods, but left that area over 30 years ago for the cheaper (and friendlier!) midwest. Family still out East, would love to come by and see you sometime when I am back there. My comment was really driven by the fact that viewers might want to hear a little more instruction from your guests to augment what you are teaching, but when you lead the show, they just kind of fill in the thoughts that you are providing. Would be nice to see where they would take the ship and have you fill in some of the wholes.
Understood! Thanks for the feedback!
I'm sorry, but there is way too much jibberish in your explanation. Just get to the point already! I actually dosed off.
Dozed
Sorry about that Darrell!
@@johnsterman77 no he took drugs he dosed.
