    Wow!!!! Just tried this at the range. It completely transformed my ball striking. I picked up at least average 10 yards on all my irons. Sometimes 20 yards. It also works for driver. Best of your lessons thus far. I couldn't believe how far I was hitting with such a short backswing.

      Well, he has a couple of things going for him and those should be taken into consideration. He's young, strong and I'm sure has a strong "core". Along with good golf mechanics and athletic body you too would hit like him. I remember being that strong years ago and could hit balls over the fence. Now, at 72 golf has become a very different thing altogether.
      The reason I watched this video is because it does make sense and especially for seniors like myself it's a good way to get some distance back into my swing but it will not ever look like Eric's excellent swing.
      Nice swing Eric...your instruction on this concept is excellent. You can bet I will start working on it soon.

    Very nice Eric. This perfectly utilizes out kinetic chain to perform as it should without padding extra time into the swing to allow us (me!) to try to manipulate anything. This also compacts the swing to compress the ball and hit the center of the club face more often. Well done!

  • @3putt548
    @3putt548 11 місяців тому +3

    Great video again Eric. I plan on using this in the beginning of my warmup, at the range before I play. Six swings from stationary setup. Six swings with hitting the ball, club parallel to the ground. Six swings hitting the ball starting with club parallel to the ground and swinging back to maybe 3/4 and hitting the ball. Plan in place. What I like is learning to transfer your weight to the lead side properly. This will also help in hitting ball first and divot after the ball. So many extra benefits with your drill.

    • @CogornoGolf

    I’m an older lady beginner. I love this as I’m getting a good shape on my backswing and a nice feel of the clubhead but I know I’m finishing the swing at the ball with no real follow through Yup manufactured follow through!!! I’m lucky even though I’m old I have good rotation of the hips from dressage riding. This is my new drill!!!! I’ve increased my ball speed by 30kph but only getting about 10 meters out of it. I hit extremely high with little carry - I think this might really help ⛳️🥂😎

    thanks Eric for the lesson, tip. looking forward to trying this out. Just got back from the range and i saw this,, the very problem i'm having. I know where my problem lies but have not been able to fix it. starting too fast from the top of the swing. I have beautiful practice swings that feel really good, coming from inside and not rushed, but as soon as it's the real swing and i'm focused on the ball.... hurry from the top trying to generate power. I think this might be the ticket to a calmer more controlled down swing! thanks again!

    Incredible drill, I should say so! In just one session today doing 9 holes I put this into effect without any prior practice. I have never followed through correctly in 20+years, that was until today. What a difference it makes to ball striking. I was actually told after that my swing looked elegant - what at 78-years of age? I have really learnt something great from this video. Thank you Cogorno Golf

      Wow, you're crushing it. Keep up the solid work. I duct taped 5 old clubs together and do his 1 arm drills for upwardly of 5,000 reps per day (35,000 swings per week > 140,000 plus left arm swings a month.) I no longer even need my right arm because the ball goes way too far when I use both. Like tennis, I truly believe the game was meant to be mastered with 1 arm. I'm gonna start using right arm drills but because I'm naturally right handed, I'm gonna duct tape 8 clubs together and start swinging heavier. It's a great forearm, lat and shoulder work out you even hit parts of the traps and glutes which is icing on the cake. My goal is to get to 225,000 swings a month with both 1 armed swings. Thanks

After a few practice swings in the yard like this I forgot how short my old swing used to be. So much easier for me to get speed

    Another good one, Eric! I'm a "recovering overswinger." Been struggling with excessive arm runoff at the top; this causes an open cf at impact, off-sync pressure shift and over-dominant upper body. When I'm playing good, I get it right.; when I fumble, I tend to spiral back to my old habits. Your videos are helping me a lot in my journey to a more compact and efficient backswing, and this one will def be part of my practice. Thanks!

    • @CogornoGolf

      @@CogornoGolf You're absolutely right. I just found out through video feedback that my perception of short was wayyy off. Like if I feel arms are chest-high, they're actually at about 11 o'clock. So my formula now is REAL IS PLUS 2 HOURS OF FEEL 😂 Sounds silly but it works for me!

    I'd like to point out something that may go unnoticed. I say unnoticed, because Eric is very good at this, and as a result you might not even recognize what's happening. And that is just how well Eric speaks. He's fortunate to have a voice that has excellent tone--very natural and engaging--but more than that, there are no hesitations as he speaks, no um/uh, no "I mean," no dreadful habits that can curse public speaking by calling attention to themselves. Eric's speaking is perfect for giving lessons. The listener is able to receive more effectively that which is being said, and that makes all the difference.

      You were obviously flipping through impact.. likely turning your 7 iron into a wedge from the added loft

    • @kermitf9303
      @kermitf9303 11 місяців тому +6

      Probably because all my irons are short. I'll have to try this tip and should see a big difference. I was a 6 handicap and now a 9. Being 69 yrs old is no excuse since it's the swing.

    • @CogornoGolf
      @CogornoGolf  11 місяців тому +4

      Hope this helps----as mentioned above if this doesn't you definitely have a dynamic loft problem (too much loft at impact)
      Want to find out WHY that is and how to fix....should be easy for a good pro to identify and help if they can see video

      @@kermitf9303 Another thing you might try is move the club so your hands are ahead of the ball with an iron before you swing to get the feeling of where your wrists need to be. Then on your back swing try to lock them in so they are in place. Then really focus on keeping left arm straight and work on keeping the club loose in the hands, particularly the right hand, particularly at the top of the swing. You can begin to grip the left hand a bit harder on the downswing. What this will do is allow a wider range of motion that is more natural so you aren't trying to force the club but instead relying on centriphical force or centripetal or whatever it is. On the follow through really focus on extending your arms straight in front of you.
      A lot of people have a tendency to "chicken wing" either on the backswing or follow through with one of their arms so focusing on extending the arms and makign "circles" with your arms by keeping them straight. It might feel a little weird at first and stiff but the idea is to do it and then loosen it up a bit more.
      The 70-79 year old plus golfers and scratch and low single handicaps hit 212 average drive. which means their approach shot, their chip and putting games have to be on point. That said Fred Couples can still hit it 300 yards so distance probably shouldn't be as prohibitive as people think. You may want to stretch daily and possibly even consider some strength training. I don't think anyone is too old to gain a bit of muscle.

      I hit my 7 iron only 130yds on a good hit. And it actually has a low flight. I definitely work on keeping my lead arm straight and wrists quiet. I'm still a sweeper. The only clubs I get high are pw down.
      This drill looks like it could help tremendously if I can get that timing, tempo down.

    Great drill. I find that it helps to get my weight forward by starting the downswing by feeling my forward knee externally rotating. Also helps to start hip rotation.

    That "up and back" motion loads the stretch reflex.
    This reminded me a time, many years ago, when I shortened my swing and started hitting the ball farther. I had forgotten about it as it was obscured by the giant pile I have amassed of more recent screwball swing theories.😏

    • @CogornoGolf
      @CogornoGolf  3 місяці тому

      Yes I wouldn't do this as much with driver per say.....more important there to make sure you get the full backswing and more behind the ball to hit more up on it
