I was slicing all my balls to the right when I first started and my coach taught me exactly the same way you explained it here and it has completely changed my golf game. Excellent tips!
@@shiftyxv-8112 because I’m forever a student of the game and I can always use another tutorial. I was just reconfirming what the instructor was saying. You must be fun to be around. 🙄
Eric - 13 handicap here. From time to time, this dark cloud of muscle memory creeps in that causes 40% of my driving range shots to go short, low, and to the right, exactly how you describe. It's like living in a bad nightmare where you forget everything. What drill do you recommend that helps reinforce solid contact and avoids spraying everything sprays 60 yards short, low and to the right.

Hi Eric. I have an open face but also my path is to the right. Can you suggest a drill that I can work on? You are my favorite coach on GolfPass (but not as good looking as Blair sorry) Thanks for any help you can provide!
@@CogornoGolf Can’t wait to experiment with all three. Grip, wrist, and arm rotation. My iron shots go straight right, not slicing or curving. Trackman verifies path right, face open. Will get to work. Thanks!
Hey James! I would need to see your swing to say for sure...could be several things Might be... 1. Aimed too far left 2. Ball position too far forward 3. Club path too far left 4.

Hey Jacob! The DTL/behind camera👍 These two videos may help with the extra clarification! ua-cam.com/video/lr8JV6ShmRI/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared ua-cam.com/video/N_zyuap0YYs/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared
WOW, this really helped me understand my swing problems. I am hitting a a nice little draw on almost every shot now, golf is fun again. Thank you, well done video.
Great lesson Eric. I would say all amateurs would benefit from this. I've been single figure HC for a while but was shocked when a friend filmed me down the line a little while ago. I was doing exactly what you say and was losing quite a bit of distance. Now hitting the ball again with a different feel, sound and flight. Big thumbs up. 👍
If jst straight push likely path too far in to out if curving right then face too open (assuming aimed correct, ball position good, etc) If you dont solve it send vids to www.cogornogolf.com so we can fix
Just wanted to drop a comment, I tried this at the range today. I found it very effective and a simple concept to get my draw back. It worked well for me, one whole bucket and the ball was turning over again. thx.
Thank you! I’ve watched a literal ton of how-to videos on hitting right and this has been the most helpful so far. I’m now subscribed and can’t wait to learn more!
I've said this many times, but if this instruction knowledge was available 25 years ago, I would have been a scratch player a long time ago. I live by this delivery now - it is just so easy to square the club early and then enjoy the benefits of being able to be ultra-aggressive at impact for more distance - and then you get to do this with a driver and play a power hold off fade like DJ (minus 40 yards).
About five years ago I went from hitting a 7 iron 155 to 140. I knew something was wrong with my swing but I haven’t found a swing coach to break it down like this. Going to try this and let you know how it goes makes total sense!!!
Thanks Eric. Working with my left-handed son early days. Today, progress was more hit club face vs tops, etc. Unfortunately I was showing him my toe up thigh height because my right-handed miss was left for a while. Ugh! He needs the club pointed down! I love the opposite and exaggerate. Thanks much... excited to get him out there again. Subscribing now. Great work!
This is absolutely excellent I kept opening the face, taking some bad emulation of Jordan speiths take away, which I clearly misunderstood and tried to replicate to bad effect. This has been very helpful, got the R10 garmin to help me improve at home. Thank you
Great video, I have a question though on dynamic loft: do we eventually want to reset to a more neutral starting position in our swing? Is it just about learning the feel of a more forward point of impact?
Thank you! I would recommend setting up as demonstrated in this video as your stock/normal setup. A more exaggerated setup on this same topic can be found here: ua-cam.com/video/odSKa4DY4SA/v-deo.html The pieces from both videos will train in great impact feels👊
Literally improve my irons ten fold, now going much straighter instead of right and getting my low irons driver distances, which is cool. Just working on consistency now.
Yes. This works. Did this in a comp last Wednesday. Notched up my first win in 2 years, by a healthy 4 stableford points. Driver was one th8ng. What it does for the irons (for me anyway) is extraordinary.
can't wait to try this technique out and in fact, just bought one of those alignment aids on Amazon! Thanks for the golf tip in PLAIN ENGLISH. None of that, "well you gotta get your club more shallow" nonsense that us amateurs don't really understand. :)
after implementing the stronger grip and shaft lean at address my misses are no longer short high shots to the right, they are now long and to the left with a lower trajectory. Progress indeed, thanks.
Out of nowhere I started hitting my irons weak and to the right. For the life of me I could not figure it out! Until I came across your video and realized I started rolling my hands and pointing the toe up! Such a simple fix and easy technique to learn and practice. Wow! I am amazed how I am now compressing the golf ball and hitting greens in regulation! And I now hit my irons 10yds further per club. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
Haven’t played in 15 years and almost “corrected” my grip by centering the shaft instead of leaning it slightly forward as you did. Thank you for saving me from likely ruining whatever muscle memory remains from my childhood swing!
Spent two hours at the range blocking my shot left with my long irons, went to the shots I recorded club face is opening before it gets to my knee! Fixing this problem tomorrow! Thank you
After the last "Rapid Fire" episode and your explanation on chipping and just flaring the foot as opposed to opening your stance, I have been a lot better at actually getting the ball flighted and onto the green, as opposed to duffed 3 feet ahead of myself, or somewhere off to the right.
Great Vid! on my own I gave up after hitting left, but now I see that extra instruction to straighten out the ball. started hitting on line. thanks so much!!!
Nice simple video. Thanks When you address the ball with the shaft leaning forward to form a straight line with the lead arm, are you also then squaring up the leading edge of the club to the target line ?
For some reason im not like most beginner golfers my driver is my most consistent club and I slice my irons horribly but this is the first tip video that helped my slice
Thanks for the VDO. I am a single handicapper. I used to also roll my hands too much open in the backswing. I changed my backswing exactly as you mentioned and on video my swing looks pretty good and well on plane (it took me about half a year (a lot of practice on the driving range) to have this changed settled in, however I am now overdrawing the ball with all my shots. I am able to compensate somewhat by aiming more to the right, but it doesn't fully correct. Any idea how to fix this overdrawing? Thanks!
Hey Erik! Yes. The solution lies in the part of the video where I did the opening vs closing math example. You need to learn to close the clubface less during the downswing. More passive.

Great stuff... I need to change my setup....I've heard near the top of your swing (for right handers) your right hand should feel like a waiter holding a tray over your shoulder?
Hey William! Do not know... Would have to see what you are doing to say for sure. Join www.cogornogolf.com if you don't get it sorted or some see me for a lesson
Great question. I'm the king of the hossel rocket. I either pull the ball with decent contact or sh!@k it. Every back swing is scary. I'm sure I'm coming over the top just super hard to stop it
Thank you for these videos just got back into golf after a 16-year layoff there was no UA-cam when I started playing. your videos are the easiest to comprehend and follow along with thank you again time to practice practice practice
I can’t tell you how happy this video has made me. Finally, a sure fire technique to avoid my nemesis of hitting right side flares. Thank you, thank you and thank you!
Thats EASY. 10 minute lesson :) Need to see your swing to say for sure. Check if clubface is too closed as main problem or path too far from inside as main problem first. If its a path thing: ua-cam.com/video/BKrxVvyp0_A/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/HMWq-WZR-0k/v-deo.html This is a general video that can help fix: ua-cam.com/video/DHDS1GlPxLg/v-deo.html This could be another good one to help: ua-cam.com/video/XiGbh1SyBXY/v-deo.html If your grip is too strong or face obnoxiously closed obviously we need to fix that first
The aim is to deloft the club to get max compression. I get that. But it makes me think--why not manufacture each iron with 2 or 3 degrees less loft in the first place?
thank you, this is exactly what i have started doing, never happened to me before, i thought it was the offset irons i have bought, cant wait to go out and give it a go.
That’s funny your doing this lesson. I just got back from the range hitting balls and working on this same problem. Played the other day and hit weak shots to the left I’m left handed and just couldn’t figure it out. I’m a big guy at 375 lbs and 61 years old I started to wonder in Father Time was getting to me...lol I don’t turn real good anyway and that was what I through I wasn’t doing. I’m a 10 handicap and can figure things out most of the time so after watching your lesson I have to head back to the range because I think this is what I’m doing....I wish I get lessons from you love your teaching ...thanks. Carl
I am brand new to this channel and this was terrific. I have a terrible habit of hitting an iron weak, low and to the right. I need to get out there and not only try to do what you are teaching but get in the habit of practicing as hard and long as you suggest.
Thank you very much for this! The grip change alone helped me get the ball compressed! I was back to hitting my normal distances, and dropped my strokes significantly back to where it was last year!
Do you grip first and then set up with the shaft leaning forward? Or lean the shaft forward first AND THEN grip the club with the V pointing at trailing collar bone?
Check out this video-should help with those answers and visuals: ua-cam.com/video/sJd-0eEQU0w/v-deo.html The answer is no. Hands stay pretty much inside left thigh with all clubs. As ball moves forward and feet get wider with longer clubs.....even though the hands will be in the same place....there will be less lean....bc the ball is more forward and feet are wider/more tilt of body.
Hey David! Sorry for any confusion. The camera reference is essentially behind you or away from the target. Of course it is an exaggeration. More on this here that may help: ua-cam.com/video/lr8JV6ShmRI/v-deo.html All the best
Hey David! You answered your own question there! Said differently... "How do you create lag and speed?" Answer: By tilting your club face down in takeaway and delivery. Go ahead and watch slow motion down the line videos of best players in world and see what you see.
Eric Cogorno Golf I had the best session at the range today that I have had in a long time working on this. Thank you soo much. Looking forward to making this habit and routine.
Always was focused on lower hand grip never thought that my left hand grip was too weak. After watching instantly fixed and hit everything straighter with 15-20 more yards
The simple things. Adjusted grip and increased ball speed with irons like 5 to 10 mph. Slight draw now possible with very strong grip. Great tips in here.
I was slicing all my balls to the right when I first started and my coach taught me exactly the same way you explained it here and it has completely changed my golf game. Excellent tips!
so why are you here

Wow why isn’t this in every iron video and slicing video, trying this out as soon as I go to the range this week

excellent,excellent lesson! i'm sooo tired of hitting that weak shot to the right...thanks Eric
Thanks! You got it my friend!
Why would one hit their short irons (PW-7iron) short right whereas all other clubs are no problem? Great video btw.
Could be several reasons Ken....angle of attack plays a big role
This is me. And it explains why I occasionally crush my iron 30 yards longer.
Yes! Hope this one helps ya!
This is absolutely excellent I kept opening the face, taking some bad emulation of Jordan speiths take away, which I clearly misunderstood and tried to replicate to bad effect. This has been very helpful, got the R10 garmin to help me improve at home. Thank you
Thanks, Justin! Our pleasure!
Instead of forward press.. I ensure wrists are completing a hinge on take away and hold on follow thru.
thats fine if that works for you...lots of ways to do it
Great video, I have a question though on dynamic loft: do we eventually want to reset to a more neutral starting position in our swing? Is it just about learning the feel of a more forward point of impact?

You need to learn to close the clubface less during the downswing.

More shaft lean, less, roll, etc...
Also can improve pivot likely.

The aim is to deloft the club to get max compression. I get that. But it makes me think--why not manufacture each iron with 2 or 3 degrees less loft in the first place?
Well you can.....but even if its 2-3 less to start and you open it too much you still have the same problem.

Played the other day and hit weak shots to the left I’m left handed and just couldn’t figure it out. I’m a big guy at 375 lbs and 61 years old I started to wonder in Father Time was getting to me...lol I don’t turn real good anyway and that was what I through I wasn’t doing. I’m a 10 handicap and can figure things out most of the time so after watching your lesson I have to head back to the range because I think this is what I’m doing....I wish I get lessons from you love your teaching ...thanks.

Hope it helps, Carl! If not...keep on it....there's always an answer! Would need to see your swing to say for sure but find a good coach to work with!
Eric Cogorno Golf thanks Eric
I am brand new to this channel and this was terrific. I have a terrible habit of hitting an iron weak, low and to the right. I need to get out there and not only try to do what you are teaching but get in the habit of practicing as hard and long as you suggest.
Welcome, Hugh! Hope it helps!
👍👍👍
👊👊
Great video Eric. I occasionally struggle with this shot but not too often so definitely some things in this video to take and practice.
Thank you! Hope it serves you well!
Great way to explain weak/ right ball flight
Thanks Dan!
Was doing this all day today . Now going to the range and doing this video . Thank you
Hope it helps, Jesse!
Thank you very much for this! The grip change alone helped me get the ball compressed! I was back to hitting my normal distances, and dropped my strokes significantly back to where it was last year!
Love it!
@@CogornoGolf I’ll shoot an update in the weeks to come, as I try and incorporate this as my ‘normal’ ! Thanks again!
Do you grip first and then set up with the shaft leaning forward? Or lean the shaft forward first AND THEN grip the club with the V pointing at trailing collar bone?
Great question.
They happen SIMULTANEOUSLY.
Not one before the other.
Just like you are settling your grip as you shuffle your feel into place.
@@CogornoGolf How about with a hybrid, fairway wood, or driver? Do you still want to set up with the shaft leaning forward?
Check out this video-should help with those answers and visuals: ua-cam.com/video/sJd-0eEQU0w/v-deo.html
The answer is no.
Hands stay pretty much inside left thigh with all clubs.
As ball moves forward and feet get wider with longer clubs.....even though the hands will be in the same place....there will be less lean....bc the ball is more forward and feet are wider/more tilt of body.
This is me all my life, Will give this ago. Thanks and well explained.
:) Hope it helps!
This was huge for me, thank you!
Our pleasure, Sean!
Great video. Fixed my swing
Thanks Jason! Love it!!
Which camera are you talking about ? The pointer doesn’t seem to be pointed at either?
Hey David!
Sorry for any confusion.
The camera reference is essentially behind you or away from the target.
Of course it is an exaggeration.
More on this here that may help: ua-cam.com/video/lr8JV6ShmRI/v-deo.html
All the best
Thought so . Thanks for confirming.
Very nice thank you Eric
Our pleasure!
Always good to be reminded of how to have strong grip. Thanks!
:)
Again, an amazing video. Thanks.
Thanks!
Thank you, this is a great video and wonderfully taught. I will practice this at the range today :)
Thanks, John! Hope it helps!
👍Playing left all this month!
Good idea!! :)
You’re an excellent instructor
Thank you, Steve!
With the club faced down in takeaway and delivery how do you create lag and speed?
Hey David! You answered your own question there!
Said differently...
"How do you create lag and speed?"
Answer: By tilting your club face down in takeaway and delivery.
Go ahead and watch slow motion down the line videos of best players in world and see what you see.
Eric Cogorno Golf I had the best session at the range today that I have had in a long time working on this. Thank you soo much. Looking forward to making this habit and routine.
I have flipping wrists where I don’t hit down on it but I don’t hit to the right as ur video states
Find a good coach to work with and fix it :)
Eric Cogorno Golf I’ll be signing up with ur site by the end of the week
Best video I’ve seen in awhile!!
Thank you, Tony!
Great video.
Really well explained 👏
Thanks, Adam!
Excellent vid, well done!
Thank you!
Always was focused on lower hand grip never thought that my left hand grip was too weak. After watching instantly fixed and hit everything straighter with 15-20 more yards
Fantastic to hear this!!
The simple things. Adjusted grip and increased ball speed with irons like 5 to 10 mph. Slight draw now possible with very strong grip. Great tips in here.
Love to hear this! Thank you!
Great explanation. Great teacher
Thanks, Taylor!
You’ve been my answer for my struggle this past few months !! Thank you
Glad to hear that Gilbert!
Crazy good 👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks!
Fixed it, thanks!
Love to hear! Our pleasure!
