I watched this video last Wednesday before I played a round of golf. Before playing I was on the range and doing this drill for 20 minutes. It felt weird at first but soon it was comfortable, and I could see a vast improvement in my swing. I played with a couple of guys that day who were half my age and pretty good golfers. On the first tee, my drive went for 265 with a nice baby draw right down the middle. Best drive of my life. That day I hit 12 out 14 fairways. Both misses were pull lefts. Both guys were always commenting how my drives were down the middle. My normal drives were 210-220 and to the right. This was the best video lesson I ever had. Thank you for posting this video and I look forward to seeing more of these in the future
Great video. Really enjoying the channel. I love seeing the full student lessons and the dialogue that takes place. Your Twist Away method has been a game changer for me. Thanks!
I like this version of Eric. Simple visual instruction of feeling the path. No complex dissertations on Position 1 through Position 100 in the golf swing. 👌😜
Eric, I just wanted to say this is the single most helpful lesson I've ever watched on TH-cam. I've practiced intensely for several years, but always struggled to put everything together. I re-created this lesson on my own at the range over the last few days. It didn't just fix my swing path, it somehow fixed my lower body movement, too. I have no idea why. But it somehow made me realize I was being too "technical ", with a million swing thoughts, and that I had forgotten to just make a nice, athletic motion with my swing. This drill really took things back to basics. I've never hit the ball better or more consistently. I'm regularly carrying 270 now, which before only happened when I really smoked it. I almost want to share a before and after video with you. Anyway, thanks!
Came back to say I’ve never been able to hit my driver, even while hitting long irons well. Horrible slice every time. I tried this drill at the range today and it finally made sense, I hit the driver straighter than I ever have. Thanks for the drill and great video!
Eric, it was a really nice lesson. Finally, I think my right slice with my driver is fixed. Thanks again, Erik. I will let you know next week. I need to practice this weekend.
I feel like this is the only video that really diagnoses the slice, solution and how you were able to get drills going for it . I am definitely gonna try this at the range today! Thanks! It also helped you had a student with a slice and just going through the process of fixing it.
@@CogornoGolf it actually fixed and possibly cured my slice after a month or two from just slicing. Inside out drill path and the key thing you said was turning/ twisting the club head as soon as the downswing. That made a huge difference! Also just proper wrist hinge. Thanks again!
Watched today while cooking. Went to the range and this piece glued together everything i've worked on recently. Do a bit of mirror swinging at home, NOW i see the ☀ The red/white/blue rib focus replaced thinking of lead shoulder down, what a quantum leap to effectively and consistent smokin' crispy strikes virtually every time. Goal Eric! Assist to Victor as a relatable student :) Lol just realized i transposed another of your vids, from this vid the magic for me is keeping the clubhead behind as a primary feel, and how that dials in the clubface. 😁Great stuff.
I'm just getting back in the game, after decades. Sadly, the body is much older. I feel like I'm starting over. You're an incredible teacher. Hugely appreciate these videos. Thank you so much for keeping me inspired, and feeling younger.
This type of video is excellent... lesson, identify an issue, correct it and see the results... hope you do more of these. Find some of your other videos provide too many technical swing thoughts to effectively take to the range... this was excellent !
Love to hear the videos have helped! Would love for you to join our community at CogornoGolf.com! That's where you can get personalized coaching and access to all of my master classes and courses👊
Good morning Eric, Sitting at my dinning table every morning, watching your bug fixes makes a lot of fun and hope, that even me can fix my terrible driver swing! Reds. Edmundus from Romania
Love this only because I can relate to your student I’m 46 starting out needed something for myself and golfs it. Slicing Driver not so much irons awesome insight information invaluable to me . Keep it up drills are great but when the student makes changes the information sticks for me better
Love these lesson format videos Eric. It's so useful seeing a student with a specific (yet generic) challenge that most of us have faced at some point, and the expertise you give working out for them.
How does youtube do this, I literally had this problem today in my round. I knew I was leaving the face open and couldn't figure out how to fix it so I just played a fade all day and suffered the yardage. I come home, open up my feed and there is this video, sitting here showing me something I can take to the range. As far as format, I am really struggling to find anything I would change about this format. I think it is great to see what an actual lesson from you looks like, impressive job!
Excellent vid! applaud you on taking an average guy and changing his swing.. so many vids are over produced and polished.. its great to see a vid/lesson close to reality. I'm over to top out to in especially with my long clubs.. been working on coming from the inside for about two weeks now, not very consistent yet, but I noticed a drastic change in ball flight. Can't wait to get on trackman this winter and dial it in. Cheers!
wow. thanks again Eric! The drill where you hold the club parallel to the ground helped me find out why my shots were starting left. I was holding the face closed on the way back and when I would rotate though, my face was even more closed at impact. I didn't realize this until I stood up and did that drill with you. Now I'm working on the opposite of this guy so I can quit snap hooking. Cant wait to hit the range
This is great, first time I've seen this idea of lowering the plane on the downswing. My driver gives me nightmares, most fade out 40 yards, some straight, and some low shank left. Never know what I'm going to get.! I have noticed lately that my downswing takes the driver head about 3 inches further out so I try putting the toe by the ball to compensate, but I was thinking that lowering the plane was actually causing my problem (obviously not).
I'd love to see live lessons with seniors, there's a lot of us Eric, if i was in the USA I'd be sending you an email as a volunteer. But yes, i like these live videos with students, more relative to most amateurs than tour pro swings.
When trying to get the down swing lower I’d mess up horribly ha ha, but I worked on turning the club head closer to the ball and I sliced to the right %80 less! so some progress 😃
This is a great format for your followers and others that want to improve their golfing abilities. Looking forward to seeing some flighted wedges and 150 yards and in!!!
Going to try this , i like how you stress the importance of the clubface & path.i didn't realize the face angle changes with the plane and path.getting it square is harder with outside to in swing..
Hi Eric. I really enjoy the lesson videos because it gives me ability to relate which funny enough is exactly what I was working on last week with my coach. I have the same issue with open face, out to in swing path which creates high spinning drive to right. One thing I found was if you holding on too tight, it becomes difficult to release the toe over the heel. More lesson videos please. Would you consider making videos on driver/ iron reviews?
Agreed Juan! Hope you are heading in the right direction! We likely won't do any club reviews as to be honest its not an area of interest for me but for sure some channels have great content on it!
Great video. Love watching you work with your students. This guy had a pretty good swing to begin with would love to see someone who is a bit rawer next time
You have a great channel. Can you do a video with the snapping of the driver before impact. I've had trouble with my driver until Danny Maude who is also an amazing teacher with a great channel on here did a video on the driver and talked about snapping the driver. I've never heard anyone else talk about this. It changed how I hit my driver immensely. It gives power and helps close the club face. That along with supinating the right wrist really allows me to hit the ball with consistency and confidence. Would like to see you do a video on this.
Hey TOM Check these out you may like: th-cam.com/video/0cdIR-E-SbU/w-d-xo.html (the sling part) th-cam.com/video/Ai7TPfJajEA/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/7buuon9L_FQ/w-d-xo.html
Awesome video i feel like these vids help me way more! Because you are seeing someone struggle as i do but you provide the verification that its correct were for me when im at the range working and im hitting shots like this i often wonder am i just creating more bad habits lol .thank you sooooo much cant wait to get to the range snd implement this and great job to your student
Great drill as always keep this lessons coming! I have a quick question for you Eric. If I open up my body at impact more and more would I need to feel the club head closing earlier and earlier in the downswing?
How do I find a teacher in my area with this type of simulator setup? I feel it’s the best use of time/money/results. I wish I could have such a lesson. I’m tired of being bad lol.
If there's 1 thing that will help hit it straighter, it's having the right driver. Game improvement irons have offset heads to make it easier to square the face so doesn't it make sense that high handicappers should be using a driver with an offset head, especially for slicers? I don't slice too much but any is too many. I just switched to a Cobra with an offset head & no slices since. Those that would normally be a slice turn into a push instead. The offset also makes it easier to hit the club in the middle of the face which also adds a decent amount of distance. What I have to watch for now is a pull but it doesn't happen often. Obviously you still have to have a decent swing to begin with but the offset really makes a big difference. Not everyone can just go out & buy a new driver but consider this when you're ready to buy your next one.
Hey there! I like to see a neutral to strong grip in place for most golfers...more details below! th-cam.com/video/EoHnyunIAWw/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/WWiVEP15xPk/w-d-xo.html

Hi Eric, thanks for all your drills. Wondering if your rib cage drill is the same for the driver as with the irons?

Trying to square the club by getting the toe ahead of the shaft sooner - should we be doing that same drill with the irons too?
Hey Marcus....if you struggle with the ball curving too far right with irons as well then yes

Top shelf lesson 👍

damn.... this video is a gamechanger
