    Thanks again for this. Viewed it again and applied it during a practice session at the PGA Superstore in Rockville, Maryland where I can use their practice bays with Foresight GC Hawk launch monitors. Before swinging I did your trail arm adduction plus external rotation of the trail elbow, plus getting the right wrist in extension, then leaning forward over the ball and simply turning back to feel where I wanted my arm structure to be on the backswing. Have worked on this based on other videos by you and others, but this one was sharply focused and very helpful. Of course, I need to focus on some other essentials that you and others have dealt with in other videos, such as the critical need to shift weight on to the lead leg/foot in order to make a proper rotation of the hips and body (you show this very clearly in your own motion), and also the need to brace the trail leg firmly on the backswing to avoid swaying, turning the trail hip back, and being sure to make a full turn back of the shoulders. But thanks for this. It really helped me make better contact and increase carry distance.

    One of the most detailed and in depth drills I have seen to help me with “shallowing” the club. I have always struggled in being able to do it consistently. I have been doing these drills the last few days for many hours and it’s like a light bulb went off!! Coming from a single digit handicap I have never had an ahaa moment like I did today. The lessons you give on here are extremely helpful. Your recommendations on always videoing your swing is also a must as much as I hate to see my swing. Feel vs real is absolutely 2 different things.

    Thanks Eric, the best tutorial I have seen in explaining the right arm/elbow function in the golf swing. For those like me who tend to get a bit steep on the downswing it is not an easy exercise, but hopefully with some practice it will encourage a shallower swing path and better ball contact.

      @rayrapp8929, here's a few things you don't know: 1) Eric is spot-on for 7,8,9, & all the wedges except the sand wedge, 2) You can guarantee yourself an inside out & on-plane swing with the short irons if you set up with your right elbow pointing toward the ground instead of away from the target, & 3) Because you will have a shallower, inside out swing, you must pull your hands & arms back away from the ball just before you start the downswing so you load the shoulders for power.

    It helps to bring the elbows closer together when you address the ball, along with one of your past tips to have the inside of the right elbow facing away from the right hip. It is very easy to begin to forget the position of the right forearm at the top of the backswing, meaning you unconsciously begin to let your forearm go somewhat horizontal rather than vertical. That messes up the downswing. It helps to check your position at the top, to keep the right forearm quite vertical, and to remind yourself to keep the right wrist in extension, bent back so the palm faces up (back in old days teachers said to think of a waiter holding a tray overhead with that palm), and the left wrist in flexion or bowed. The pro I go to said in a recent lesson that in the downswing he wanted me to let my left shoulder definitely move up rather than moving horizontally around to the left. This allows one to bring the club down with the right elbow close to the right hip, as you show here, and then let the momentum you have generated bring your hands up high with a free flowing movement and release of the wrists. If concentrating on rotating makes you not only turn the hips but also the shoulders horizontally, your arms will extend early and you cannot get the swing movement you are demonstrating.

    Après pluisiers années de pratique, je commence à comprendre ce geste et à le réaliser avec la paume de la main droite tournée vers le haut au retour et aussi le coude droit qui reste collé au buste. Cela m'évite aussi de revenir par dessus avec des balles coupées. Donc c'est entrainement sur entrainement pour que le geste devienne naturel. Merci beaucoup Eric pour ton enseignement. J'espère que Google aura bien traduit mon français.

    Adjusting grip from neutral to strong helped me find this move. Also helped limit backswing and keep both arms closer together. Following arm is much more active. Ball striking is now solid with good consistent distance. This video is truly helpful. Many thanks.

  • @davecohn6407
    @davecohn6407 Рік тому +2

    One of the clearest explanations of the right elbow move ever made . Congratulations !!
    Let me add two additional points .
    The more external the right shoulder is at top ( waiters tray position ) , the less the need for external shoulder rotation in transition ; the more internal the right shoulder at the top ( flying right elbow ) the greater the need for right shoulder external rotation in transition .So in a real sense , the backswing is a major factor in the right elbow move .
    Second , right shoulder external rotation in early transition means that the right ELBOW will move FASTER than the HANDS and cover more distance than the hands during early transition .

  • @gerardkort844
    @gerardkort844 Рік тому

    Actually a very good explanation, Eric. One of the best I´ve seen. Just as your other driver video about shallowing the driver. I started to work on this after I started 4 years ago with golf. But in my opinion it's not easy to just start with this, which i have tried before the wrong way as you perfectly explained her. That became the more "shoving" motion. First you have to have a certain level of a swing before you can work on this. Timing is so important, just as squaring the face and hitting the ball somewhere in the center of the face and not swaying. Step by step it takes a normal guy a good 3-4 years I would say to develop a somewhat decent swing that sticks.

Now that I know the two specific actions, I have no doubt this is going to enable me to get it right. Thanks again!

After watching your videos, I tried to move my trail bicep closer to my chest muscle, this allowed me to hold the lag, keep the trail elbow in from of the trail wrist and natural release the club with no effort.

    For me, my right elbow doesn't chicken wings out during the downswing as you demonstrate, but it straightens way too soon. Leads to inconsistent contact, because I have to time the low point exactly right or I either top it or fat it if my timing is off. All the drills and the feels to work on in this video are spot on for fixing this issue as well! Thanks for posting, I have some work to do.

    Love the biomechanical analysis. As we know you can overdue any correct move. How do you know if you’ve overdone the adduction external rotation move toward the target? My feel is driving the medial elbow towards the belly button, under the lead elbow, squeezing them together. If I don’t do this enough I tend to pull hook the ball. Thoughts?

    • @CogornoGolf
      @CogornoGolf  Рік тому

      Hey Robert!
      VERYYYYYYYYYY hard and extremely unlikely to over do this.
      If you don't do it enough and pull hook it that's GREAT....means your club face is closed enough to path. The MORE you do these moves it PREVENTS the face from closing more
      Dustin Johnson would be an extreme example to look at.....face is really shut and he does these THE MOST to get the handle more forward and up to prevent face from closing more
      Best players do this the most, worse players do it the least.
      So thats my long answer----short answer I wouldn't worry about it for another second.

Since ive learned to swing this way It seems that i cant hit the ball badly most of my iron shots are dead straight and hit like pure butter ! I AM A BELIEVER ! The point i discovered and wanted to bring to your attention ...At the end you talked about the Body rotation through and after impact as though its an after thought... In my own experience that hip rotation squares the clubface and provedes the leveraged power .....Without this rotation this swing becomes less effective as far as purity of strike GOES ......Emphasize it more This hip/Shoulder rotation is the (magic) in this swing im not sure how or why you are missing this...Rotation is the only source of power here its magical and hard to see pressure with the right wrist and rotation the only source of power....

    This is an interesting video. I tend to have my right elbow against my lower right rib during my whole swing to impact. I wonder now, if that is keeping me from geting my right arm forward during my swing?!? I've noticed on GolfTec videos during lessons and practice that my right arm, and thus my hands at impact, are never near my left thigh. I tend to have my hands at, or near, the middle of my stance at impact (belt buckle). I'm also struggling with contact and often hit the ball fat.

    Hi Eric,
    I want to thank you for your channel. I played lots of golf 10-20 years ago but lost interest as i never managed to break "the code", every swing felt like a lottery.
    After I found your channel I have been a lot to the range capturing video and applying your drillls and instructions. I am using your drills to reprogram my muscle memory bit-by-bit after years of banging balls on the range in the wrong way. It's hard work, but very rewarding and great fun. wish i could visit your training center in the US.
    Greetings from Norway

    What are the squishy soft flexible shoes you wear? I have some that are too stiff in the name of stability. Yours look really comfy.

      @@CogornoGolf Do you play golf in those shoes? Soft as they are, they don't seem to cause any problems with stability, firm right leg on the backswing, weight shifted on the left and left heel during the swing. I ask because I have high arches that mean the balls of my feet are wide though my heels are narrow. A podiatrist who was also a marathon runner explained to me that your arch is meant to flex. Flat feet don't have enough flex. But too high an arch is also bad because it does not flex up and down with your step. Instead the arch stays rigid and your foot essentially tries to roll over your big toe, making the big toe turn a bit sideways and point out. Most shoes have a last or shape that is a bit like curved parentheses L( )R. So when I put them on, my toes, particularly on my right foot, fill the space from the middle to the outside edge, leaving all the space on the inside empty. My right foot is also a half size shorter and half size wider than my left. So yeah, all my life I have had problems with athletic shoes when playing football, baseball, tennis, golf. If a shoe fit my left foot, it was too long for my right foot so the ball of my foot came down just short of where it should. Back in the 50s and 60s when we wore long football cleats and metal baseball cleats, it meant the ball of my right foot was behind instead of on top of the cleats, making the cleats tilt and my toes point up. Damn uncomfortable and hurt performance. Anyway, my solution has been to look for wide shoes with straight lasts, not C shaped lasts. I have worn Footjoys and Ecco shoes, and a year ago got New Balance 9.5 2E shoes that have high toe boxes and thus room for my toes. Then this year I bought a pair of Sqairz shoes based on their ads. They were on sale so it seemed worth a try. But I wore them for one round and wound up with a bruised right toenail. I find them to be very rigid and have not worn them again. So now you understand why I keep looking at those almost slipper comfy shoes you seem to move and hit so well in. The only problem for me is that Nike tends to have narrow lasts, as do Adidas. But maybe there is no need to wear rigid shoes for golf and something wide enough and comfortably soft and flexible may actually improve one's swing. Sorry to be so long, but am sure you know if your feet hurt, you ain't gonna play well.

    Hi Eric! Great video. I always wonder when someone say student took this many years but didn't figure out correct move(R arm forward for this case).
    I think correct me if i'm wrong coach like you spent more time on studying and have vast experience working with different students.
    And Student are only seeing their swing so can't solve problem on own. Right?
    What will you say?

    @mdillge2 2 місяці тому +1

    Is this also the feeling of dropping into the slot and shallowing the club? I've never been able to that intentionally, it hurts my brain, but today at the range, the feeling of the right arm leading the way ("winning the race" was the feel for me), felt like an epiphany, a way I could think about it and feel it, that my brain and body could handle, that also shallowed the club and dropped into the slot for a feeling of effortless whip and power.
    Also, is there any reason why one can't just set a lot of that abduction at address? Especially as a pretty thick guy, I find it helpful to get my arm up on top of my peck at address and really reaching across my body to the club handle (abduction) right from address, feeling that it gets my body out of my arm's way and gives it room to swing without bashing into my peck.
    Thanks, that elbow closer to the lead is great feel (as opposed to just jamming the arm into the side, which I have never found helpful). Good stuff.

  • @TeddyCavachon

    The underlying goal here is preventing the hands from being pulled out from the body by the swing force as the club head comes down around the hands with a strategy of using leverage, not strength, similar to how a food server lifts and lowers a heavy tray. Why is knowing the goal important? It gives you the means to understand whether the technique is working by observing the path of the hands during the swing and whether or not they are being pulled further out.
    If the hands get pulled out the club head goes out over the ball-target line and the reflexive brain will react by trying to steer the hands and face back to the target causing a slice. Learn to keep the hands at a constant radius using the technique Eric is illustrating here and like magic the slices will go away and you’ll start to hit nice controlled draws 😊

    Right handers do not lead with the right arm. The left arm takes you/leads you to the ball!!! Okay, just semantics.
    The key to this matter is actually very, very simple. There is a teenage girl on you tube who teaches this. Hit the ball out of the hinge-and hang on to the hinge as long as possible-thru/past contact. For the right-hander (I am left-handed) the straight left arm takes you to the ball and the right arm provides the power. Here the right elbow is held close to the body with the forearms forming a V/triangle that returns the club-head to the ball from the backswing as the body/hips rotate in unison. The hands stay ahead of the ball as the arms and hips and body rip the clubhead thru the ball. This generates terrific power-and accuracy when figured out.
    My wife, who has been stupendously admiring and wondering how I, at 5'2" and 71 years old, can hit this little ball so far and straight just this week (finally) asked to be taught how to do this. It was awkward at first-for her...kept reverting to the old swing plane. But, by george, today it began coming around. And she agrees-it is an incredibly natural, easy and repeatable swing when you execute it correctly.
    FYI, I just learned this a year ago when I came out of a two month, golf absence of winter travel forgetting how to hit that little ball. A friend sent me a gabbygolfgirl instructional clip to see if it could rescue me-it surely did. Now I (only) drive around 200 yards (got out to 225 several times today) and score at around 80 from around the 5500 yard course tee length-which is the length the PGA says I should be playing relative to my driving distance. I also have a relatively new, small set of 9 clubs...and I am literally getting a little better every day.

    Part of the other problem is if your left shoulder is spinning out to early then this will prevent your right side from getting correctly in the slot. So another mechanic issue is how your left shoulder socket is moving rotating, which is another video lol

      Thats correct....the more you do these the more the face would be open. IF you do this and its TOO open thats a tell tale sign that you aren't closing the face enough in the correct/ earlier ways. That would be either 1. Grip stronger 2. Wrist angles 3. Arm rotation
