I do not understand how this video doesn't have a couple of million views Bravo !!!one of the best golf videos for opening up the left hip
Thank you!!
After 37 years of playing this is a eureka moment ........whole new concept to my flawed thinking all that time , I could cry right now
:) Better late than never right!
You have an amazing way of taking a complex process (the golf swing) and clearly explaining the different parts of the swing in crystal clear language. Terrific video. You remain one of my favorites.
Appreciate the kind words :)
Love it. I always thought I had too much slide. I wish I would have had this lesson 30 years ago.
:)
This is a great video because it confirms there is a blend of rotation and sliding, then extension. I am finding that, when playing 18 holes in the blistering heat here in North Carolina, I will get fatigued to the point where all I'm doing is sliding and my game totally erodes. I'm working on this drill with my hanger, so I'm hitting several key points all at once while singling slowly to exaggerate the feel. Thanks Eric! 🤟
👊
Thanks Mark! Appreciate you being here with us!
Eureka moment. I had the slide without the turn and tried to fix the slide only. The key is to shift both upper and lower body and then focus on turn and extension to get belt buckle up and to the left. You'll see a big increase in smash factor with less effort. If you don't shift, it's hard to consistently make ball first contact.
👊👊
Hope this one helps your game!
Such a nice explanation no one ever done to clarify this. Great love it Eric. U r the best. I used to lunge or bounce back after impact but no more and hitting down and crisp.
Thank you! Appreciate your support!
The funny thing is, even if you don’t get the rotation piece right, as long as you shift both up and lower body (so you’re not just bumping hips and dropping right shoulder back) you’d probably still be better off because you’re moving the lowpoint forward. Without the rotation you might be prone to a hook miss but your compression will be so much better. Such a great video. Look at how much every tour player shifts forward. Its amazing a lot of ams feel afraid to “slide.”
👊
Thanks for your feedback and thoughts Chester!
Clear explanation of what’s been in my mind a mystery part of the swing. Just super. Thanks!
Thanks!
Great tip! It helped me understand why I sometimes pull my drives to the left. Trying to keep my head still throughout the swing is too challenging and creates upsetting stress. The anticipation of what is too difficult and unreasonable upsets my studied form of the golf swing. Thanks , sometimes it can be too difficult to realize what is not right about the golf swing.
Appreciate it, Frank!
Great lesson, need to try this at the range asap. Great visuals and supporting footage of pros extending into the red line.
Hope it helps
Thanks for what you do. Your vids on hip depth and belt buckle to alignment stick are great. Turning belt buckle back 45 deg and turning to touch alignment stick (or further) greatly simplify swing thoughts ie. weight distribution, downswing timing and swing plane. Seems to simplify mechanics at least for me.
Love it, Dennis! Our pleasure!
Well concised and demonstrated drill! Thanks, Coach.
Thank you! My pleasure my friend!
Thanks Eric, great video. It really helped me with compressing the ball..
Appreciate it! Glad to hear that!
Great tip!! I will give it a try today. Thanks
Thanks, Jim! Hope it helps
Nailed me! Just now learning to turn more. Lateral slide going back, compensating lateral slide coming back down. Always thought the slide blocked my turn.
:)
excellent presentation Eric, this is something I've fretted over for decades, the amount of slide and turn. So much conflicting mantra out there in books, mags and videos. I am determined to go with your dogma and I'm heading for the range right now.
Thank you! Hope it helps you
TH-cam just always surprises me with these crazy coincidences. I was literally working on this exact thing today on the range. I’ve got way too much slide (to the point where I look like I have jangly knees pointing to the left) and way too little hip turn. I worked on feeling like I push my left hip socket back and extending / straightening my left leg on the down swing, which is helping me turn my hips a lot more. For the life of me I couldn’t get shaft lean at impact before, but now all of a sudden I can. It’s all in the hips!
Love it! They are watching :)
Wow, that video came just at the right time. Thanks Eric
My pleasure my friend-hope it helps
Wow Eric! Going to give this drill a try next time at the range. Thanks for explaining it so well. 👏🏻
My pleasure, Jonny! hope it helps
Excellent instruction video. Got to try at the range. Thanks
Thanks, Richard! Hope it helps!
Thanks for your coaching.
My pleasure!
One of the best videos you’ve done. Nice work. 👌🏻
Thanks, Dave!
Crystal clear ! Thanks Eric !
Thanks, Jean!
Great tip as I'm struggling with my right hip & drives are going to the right all the time. Will try to work on this movement. 👍
Hope it helps, Barrie!
Eric a friend of mine has just sent this through to me and wow no wonder she thought it will help my understanding of the correct move. Thank you so much for your very careful in describing it.
Appreciate you being here with us, Jill! Tell your friend I said thanks :)
Really good topic Eric! We see a lot of mistakes from coaches trying to make them turn without sliding provoking the players to get stuck behind.
Thanks, Francisco!
Yep! Gotta do all 3....of course need to FEEL and exaggerate parts you need more of which will be different per player
Another great informative bideo... thank you Eric!!!
Appreciate it, Alan! Our pleasure!
That might be the best golf video I’ve ever seen ,,,well done Eric and thank you for all the great content
Appreciate it! My pleasure my friend
You have really helped my game. The best was the one you did with Jesse Frank on the set up. I an anxious to try the one on the finish, my biggest problem. Many Thanks
Love to hear this, Brian! Thanks for watching the channel!
Great stuff Eric. I knew about shifting hips forward and thought I was doing it but using my golf bag in front of my left hip, I discovered I was not shifting forward nearly enough. Thanks.
Appreciate it, Joe! Our pleasure!
This was an extremely well explained video & very helpful. My problem seems to be that extension part as I sometimes lose my balance & my left foot goes back, even though I may have hit the ball OK.
Thats fixable! Find a good coach to work with!
I haven't tried it but I hear the Flamingo Drill will help with this. Yes it's a real thing.
Eric - Great video as usual. Your videos are the best on the planet. Keep them coming. Jim
Appreciate it, Jim!
Great video. Your teachings are spot on.
Thanks, Edward!
This is so spot on. I bump my left hip towards to the target to start my downswing and then rotate my belly button through the ball driving the butt of the club to the ball and throw release it and hit it a mile. Great tip Eric.
Thanks, Daniel! Love it
Another 💰💰💰video by Eric C!!
This reminds me to finish my darn swing. I notice that most people I play with don’t finish their swing. I try not to watch the swing of others just for that reason.😂
:) Thanks, Tim!
Wow. You just solved my fat/thin shots Eric. Your second best video (#1 is the Legitimate Best Drill Ever) you have produced! Thank you for this gem
:) Love to hear that....thanks, Steve!
Great video. After playing for decades in which various coaches and magazines would explain a turn and that swaying was causing heavy contact. Nonsense, it was poor wrist angles and poor pivot. I found this out when I researched youtube on how to move low point forward to get ball then turf contact and evidnced it with screen recordings of elite players such as Rory marking lines on their hips at set up and end of swing and moved the recording back and forth like you have Eric. I have stopped trying to shallow the club and started working purely on proper contact and pivot - moving low point ahead of the ball which has worked wonders. STRIKE IS KING.
Love to hear you've been making great progress, Fraser! Appreciate you watching the channel!
That's exactly where the other coaches are wrong and you are spot on. The weight has to go through the ball during rotation end
:)
A brilliant session, so helpful
Thanks David! 👊
Another great video from you, thank you Eric.
Thanks Rick!
I never really looked at this successfully accurate. Great delineation Eric! Will try it next range visit and with inside apt drills and swings I do . Actually, in a few minutes!
Hope it helps ya :)
GREAT VID THANK YOU
Thanks, Marcus!
So I lost my golf swing for a month! I usually score in the 90's and for the past month I have been thinning, chunking, pulling, slicing all my shots, I was so frustrated I don't know what I was doing wrong all of a sudden everything went downhill, all month I became a mad man and start to lose my temper, so this morning I got my 7 iron and I was practicing just to brush the floor and I was still chunking and thinning, so I kept on swinging the club I dont know how many swings I did until I felt this slide feeling, then I realized that this was the missing piece because all that chunking and thinning the ball was gone in a matter of minutes, but still I did not believe that this sliding was the cure to my problems, so I doubted my self and I went to my local golf course to try this sliding move, 1st tee off the blue, right off the bat my shot was dead straight, 2nd shot was a 6 iron 180yards and again it was straight like an arrow landed into the green! Did 2 putt and managed to par the hole. I wish I would have seen this video before hand. It would of fixed everything in a matter of time. 🤦 Still thanks to this video proving that this was really my missing piece.
Glad you're back :)
I don’t have plenty of turn of the hip and up but have actually been working on more lateral motion while still keeping head back.
Hope it helps!
Dang EC, I always play my best golf after listening and implementing things taught in your videos. More than any other golf vids, and I watch A LOT lol. I might have to take a serious look into Corgono Golf.
appreciate the support, Jeff! Glad to hear that! Would love to work with you!
💡💡💡💡💡💡💡💡💡💡💡
Total light bulb moment for me. This was possibly your best information yet.
Appreciate it, Ron :)
Very helpful!
Glad to hear that!!
Fantastic video Eric.
Thanks, Wayne!
Wow what an eye opener!
:)
Played for 40 years. The last 20, I haven't gotten over to my left side. I couldn't make myself, and every lesson I ever had, said/showed the same thing. My contact is always behind the ball. I've gone up to a 24 handicap from a 13. This is why. I'll be on a simulator today (cold in Pittsburgh). Thanks very much!
Hope it helps, Tom :)
I was going through a bit of a panic over how much I was sliding in my swing and this might have saved me from a complete breakdown lol. Thank you for reminding me that I need to rotate more
:)
Spot on. Fantastic
Thanks, Steve!
This is the good stuff right here EC! I think a lot of golfers don’t just struggle with the rotation and extension after the hip “slide” but also with sliding their upper body with their hips and getting their head out in front of the ball too. Not good.
100%
I’m a big fan of Stack and Tilt. Jesse Frank and Tom Segudo have been a big influence. In fact I think I saw you on a Tom video if I’m not mistaken. This video Definitely wrapped it all up.
It’s a new way of saying what I have been working on for a couple of years.
Love to hear that John---both of those guys great people!!
I'm a bit embarassed to say that for as long as I've studied the swing that I've never heard/saw it explained this way. This is mind blowing. Thanks so much!
:) My pleasure my friend!
Great video Eric!!!
Appreciate it, Carlos!
Eric.....
Shazaam!!! For the longest time, I had a problem with getting my club face square at impact when I tried to increase "lag" in my backswing. I felt like it was due to my hip slide! Little did I know that it was probably due to my limited "turn and extension". Eye opening concept and cant wait to get out and work on this concept!!
Thanks so much!
Mike W
My pleasure, Mike! Hope it helps
When you said to look up your favorite golfer I looked up Matthew Wolf. 😂
:)
Thanks Eric. Lightbulbs going off in my head
:)
i slide till i feel like my hip is over my lead foot thats the feelling i tryd today and it was good
I like that! Just make sure you TURN along with it :)
Ground forces to get that lead hip turn...some say push that lead foot out to 11 oclock, driving the lead leg into that hip and forcing the turn. Your thoughts.
Thanks for the video.
Different ways to do it....that seems to be popular right now.
Great content but I have a question. The extension portion, some golf coaches would say that is standing up and you'll thin the ball, "stay down."
Thanks Steven!
I think these two videos will answer your question best:

so helpful
Thanks, Jeffrey!
Thank you very much for this video! I've been trying for months to try to get rid of my slide, now I see I just need to add turning my hips more.
You got it Kip!!

Hi Eric, you are one of my favourite instructors and so I'm really not trying to catch you out...but in July 2018 you posted a video entitled 'How To Get The Slide Out Of Your Golf Swing', in which you give a number of drills to 'get rid' of the slide. In Drill 2 you recommend setting up an alignment stick 'about 2 inches' outside your lead hip and trying not to touch it with the hip as you hit the ball. Now you're talking about trying to make sure you DO hit a stick 8 inches outside the hip! So - has something changed in your view of what is best?! (I do see how the slide has to go with more turn...but trying to turn more is rather different to trying to slide less...isn't it?!
Hey Ken!
Appreciate the support and question.
No, my view has not changed.
That video from two years ago was titled "How To Get The Slide Out Of Your Golf Swing'" as you mentioned....so the intent was for someone who has TOO MUCH slide.
Notice in this video when I explain you shouldn't hit the stick with your HIP right? Hit it right BELT BUCKLE.
So you can UNDERDO and OVER DO everything.
Thats why I will need to do a video to show someone to fix a slice but learning to hook it left.
In the next video I will need to teach someone to fix TOO MUCH hook but feeling slice things.
Hope that helps explain it.
I think you can add one more important piece to the pelvis motion...DEEP. To get forward, turned, and extended, really helps to first get that left hip deep. Great video btw.
For sure....the SLIDE gets you the DEPTH (and tilt)....when you turn with it.
Moving hips forward or sliding is essential as you say to a good golf swing. In my view if you did not move your hips forward or slide lower body if you will to start the downswing (Transition), you could never move the bottom of your swing arc forward and never get ball turf contact (that is my swing issue in a nutshell). Your point is so important.
Thanks, Harold!
Thanks, Eric for the useful tip. But won’t the extension bit increase the risk of topping the ball and how should one avoid it.
Hey Racine!
You need the TILT or right side bend to offset it
This should explain:

th-cam.com/video/7pbkEuD0NiE/w-d-xo.html
Another great video Eric. One thing you didn’t speak to (which I noticed in the slow motion replays of Adam Scott’s swing and your swings) is the need to keep the head stable over or just behind the ball as you’re shifting and turning up to impact with the ball. Any thoughts on how to ensure you make this happen before you start to extend past impact?
Hey Terry!
For sure.
You need right side bend and extension for this.

Awesome... thanks for connecting the dots Eric!
Hi Eric, great video, i have always been confused about this, i really really want you to explain the difference when using a driver compared to the iron swing in this video. Is it the same move? I guess the basics are but you have to stay more behind with a driver or? Thanks/Lars
Hey Lars.
Thats correct.
Same hip slide with driver.
But head more back (more side bend and extension)
Explained more here:

Heads to the kitchen to practice swing with a chair...thank you, Eric!
:)
I did the exact same thing!
This was awesome
Thanks, Rick!
What moves hip forward. The trail leg pushing? Lead leg and hip turning.
Body falling forward (pressure down and left) combined with pushing off trail foot
Wow
Always get told I slide to much.but I guess I don't turn enough
Thanks
You got it!
More on this th-cam.com/video/PyPerUxhw3A/w-d-xo.html
Haha good stuff my friend. Oh my, my ball flight actually be lower, my compression may actually be better this cant be true ! :)
Thank you sir! Love it
That's a really GREAT point, so maybe my 6" slide isn't so bad if I could complete my turn. However, it seems the really long hitters like Rory don't slide so much, and it seems the reason is they are pushing up and back with front foot giving them lot's of ground force and snap. I think we remove that option for pushing back when we slide past the front foot like I do. Maybe a great turn gives enough speed, but a push "back" appears to really help.
Hey Steve!
Agreed.....but thats like looking at a Billionaire's tax strategies when we make $100,000.
Lets get the pieces in to get to a million first....those strategies require lots of good before we get there.
@@CogornoGolf Good analogy and point Eric. Fixing my turn, shaft lean, and not coming over the top are all much more important than fixing the slide. Maybe I'll come see you in FL.
Would this be the same technique for both irons and driver? Should we be shifting less forward if we're trying to hit up on the driver instead of down on the irons? Thanks bud. Keep up the good work.
Hey Gerry!
Yes...same thing.
Nope dont shift less.....just keep head more back (more side bend and extension)
I explain that here: th-cam.com/video/ZJVFFIGa0f4/w-d-xo.html
Hi Eric I saw your video withmalaska and he advocates backward force so on a downswing your left leg pushes the left hip back but this video recommends lateral move of the left hip with rotation what should I follow thanks for your help kindly advise Jack
Probably your best video, better golfer have been trying to avoid that stick cause most of the instructions telling you rotate rotate.
You are right most better golfers do that and trying to take it out wich makes them worse. My self included.
:) Thanks Benjamin!
Aha! That was illuminating!
:)
Mind blown!
:)
I have too much turn need a lil more slide but great vid
Thank you! Hope this one helps!
Boom, I thought I had too much slide and not enough turn. Light bulb is you don't need to stop sliding to turn, you should do both. How do you reduce upper body leaning back though?
Yes!
Would really need to see your swing to say for sure Stephen but I would say you are looking at it like a pie chart
Should be even parts rotation, tilt and extension.
If you have too much of one then crank up the others or decrease where needed.
Pool noodle or stick on head to start...head should work FORWARD of that in downswing not back into it
Eric-68 year old male recovering from total knee replacement on my lead knee. I note your feet are both open. Yet you’re able to get your left knee and pressure moving back in your backswing. What’s your thought to make this happened as I thought the left foot was to be pointed straight at the target line? Thanks
Hey Brian!
Play around with it...
I like a slightly foot flare on both sides for most.
The more you flare the foot in a direction the easier it is to turn in that direction but more difficult in the opposite.
I would find a good coach in person or online you can send your swings to and find the best solution for you
th-cam.com/video/wKNX_7tkN5o/w-d-xo.html
Several coaches here tell me I have toouch slide but I think they're missing exactly what you're saying....I need to add the rotation which I do to some extent and extension which I know I hardly do.
However one thing I'm not sure of is how much has my hips slid forward by the time I should make impact.
Also is it crucial to keep your upper centres back when you do the hip slide and turn?
Hey!
Well, I would urge you to go on youtube here and search "slow motion face on ______" and search your favorite swings.
see for yourself where the hips are at impact and form your own opinions.
From there you can see where you are and decide what you want to do
PS. No wonder Kyle Berkshire pushes forward into the next zip code!
Eric would you do this with driver swing as well?
Absolutely
Hi Eric, for an 80 year old senior with limited flexibility can i move the ball back in the stance to compensate?
Hey Jerry!
100%
Check this out I talk about that more here
th-cam.com/video/Qyzd4WxdxDI/w-d-xo.html
I think my problem with the hip slide is my head slides forward too. I probably need to work on my body's flexibility as well as slide, rotation, extension.
Hey Ron!
As the hips slide you need tilt to the right or right side bent to accompany this to keep your body tilted over and head back....and a little extension (chest up)

@@CogornoGolf Hi again Eric, I think you've identified my main problem. Imagine a fire hydrant doing a quarter turn to the left while holding a golf club. That's my swing. :) I will check out the videos you kindly referenced here and try to incorporate their lessons into a 'new swing philosophy' with an emphasis on the tilt factor. Flexibility matters. Thanks again for all the great videos, cheers from Aus and keep well.
It feels like sliding, but you combine it with turn so it isn't a slide.
Thats it :)
Took this idea to the course today, finally got some crisp iron shots off the tee. Unfortunately, off the fairway I simply blade/top the ball, consistently. Seems the extension part is pulling me "off the ball". Also when I do hit those solid shots off the tee they are low, like bullets. Regardless, thanks very much for the video. I've long had a problem getting my weight forward but despite viewing a number of videos from various instructors, giving the same general advice, this one seemed to click with me. Of course it's only one time. BTW, as far as I'm concerned, this lesson could easily fall into the S&T camp; stay centered over the ball, slide forward, drop club, then rotate and extend through. Certainly many elements of S&T.
Hey Norman!
Seems like you need more of the side tilt part.....right shoulder down and head back as you do it.
Sure...can call it stack and tilt or whatever we want.....this is just a demonstration of what good ball strikers do :)

th-cam.com/video/CEsxQyxMM_w/w-d-xo.html
@@CogornoGolf Thank you, very nice of you to take the time to reply. I actually always thought it was important to keep the head "back" (i.e. in the address position), not moving it forward during the slide, so I used side bend to do that but seemed to always hit fat. When I looked at your video it didn't LOOK like you had much tilt and your head actually moves forward a little bit, so I didn't worry about the tilt when I went out today and had success off the tee. I guess I should have. I THOUGHT I might have been delofting the club, but was obviously wrong. I will definitely take your advice, hopefully it will help the low ball flight although I really DESPISE hitting fat. Thanks again.
Hey Norman!
Understood. My pleasure.
I really need to see your swing on video to help so I can see what's really going on. Check out www.cogornogolf.com if you ever want any guidance so you can send me your videos
@@CogornoGolf Fair enough. I'll see if I can get a "hitting station" set up.
Love your videos but can’t think of all this stuff at the same time. Have to have a downswing thought. On different vids it hip slide and turn, right shoulder, hands, etc. what drives or powers the golf swing? That’s what I’m confused about. When I throw a baseball my mind is in the hand with the baseball. In golf I’m confused/lost. 6.8 hcp but still lost.
Understood! Lets get un lost!
Find a good coach to work with and find your top1-3 priorities to focus on and put a plan in place.
Come see me in person or online at www.cogornogolf.com and I can simplify and show you what to focus on
@@CogornoGolf just went to your website. It looks like Facebook is the platform you use for this? I canceled Facebook a while back and don’t plan to use it again. Is there another option?
Hey!
Yes we do use that...
It is our only current option but we are building out a new plat form we hope to be ready for spring!
how do you turn your shoulders on the downswing??theres no throwing motion?
Here is how you turn shoulders in downswing
this is the amounts and where: th-cam.com/video/bScRl_O6UUo/w-d-xo.html
simply put the whole swing can be described as, ‘shift turn shift turn’ (where shift doesn’t mean excessive slide) KISS method for the win, great vid EC 👍
Thanks, John! Agreed...sometimes that simple is good!
Lots of people need more TILT/EXTENSION pieces as well
So its like Shift/Turn/Tilt/Extend .....but there goes the simple :)
@@CogornoGolf haha, I’m still working on She Who Must Be Obeyed to let me go down to Boca & work with you 🤞
:)
Good!!!!
Thanks!
Eric, you just touched on a misconception driven by the statement "the hips move forward 6-8 inches" when in fact it is the belt buckle, or CENTER of the hips that move forward. Maybe you could even talk about the trail hip being even farther forward, but the confusion is when coaches do not distinguish the left (lead) hip from the center of pelvis and/or trail hip. This is coming from someone with a "better player" problem of too much slide in an effort to get the [lead] hip forward! Ugh!
Thanks for the feedback! I hear ya!
Did this one on right hip think its a good visual for the trail hip part: th-cam.com/video/QJhb67clur8/w-d-xo.html&pp=ygUmRXJpYyBDb2dvcm5vIHJpZ2h0IGhpcCB0b21teSBmbGVldHdvb2Q%3D
The only video you need!!! You will stop going over the top! You will stop pulling the ball!!!
:) Appreciate you being here with us, Robert!
Hey Eric. I'm definitely one of those who slides enough but without the turn. I've heard it said tho that too much slide in early DS PREVENTS enough rotation . My hips are typically only about 10-20° open at impact but I'm typically sliding at least 8-10". Should I feel no slide and all turn to get the ratio right? And is there a checkpoint?
Hey Rohit!
Yes and yes.
20-45* hip turn good margin for you
th-cam.com/video/wop-kP1JbcI/w-d-xo.html
I would do this for next 2-3 years
th-cam.com/video/ZdsdYwXa-M4/w-d-xo.html
Awesome. 2-3yrs! Better get cracking 😅
:) Takes time! Then usually when we start "getting it" we stop drilling.....:) Silly
I bet ! Over the last couple of years I've found your checkpoints very useful to get back to as after a period of playing without drilling, the bad habits start creeping in
Am I looking at this wrong, or does your extending up and forward, not seem like you are coming out of the shot?
The old swing teachers always told us to go down and through the shot. So I am trying to wrap my head around this.
Hey!
Nope...you "stay in it" with side bend or right.
So you EXTEND (stand up) but you will be tilted to the right (side bend)
More explanation on that here:
