This was the last piece of the puzzle for me… wrist action. Pointing the palm away from you and through the ball is the exact ‘feeling’ I use. It keeps the club face square throughout the swing. It doesn’t look ‘square’ cuz of the wrist action and elbow bend… and it’s the difference between ‘feel’ and ‘real’ that makes this swing thought work in action
Love it!
This guy is my new favorite golf YT instructor. I've taken week long courses and trained with several instructors, etc. My swing wasn't producing results. This single video explained my loop at the top because my palm was facing me.
Hands down the best golf instructor on YT.
Appreciate your support, Anthony! Hope the videos serve you well!!
Another visual piece of the puzzle at address and the back swing
Thanks Eric
You got it Bob---thanks for watching!
This is the exact thing that I’ve been trying to figure out lately. I will give it a try. Thank you!
Hope it helps your game!
Really great work, Eric. Thank you for the content
Thanks Ethan! My pleasure!
Excellent explanation of the proper trail wrist conditions, Eric. Needed this video in biggest way.
You are a life saver! 🙌🙌🙌
you got it---our pleasure :)
Eric, you are a great visual communicator for players of all levels of ability. Keep up the great work!
Thank you very much!
@@CogornoGolfyou get the most important thing: don't just identify the problem, give ideas or feels to solve it. Golf pros can usually do the former but also usually can't communicate the latter.
That's the best explanation I've ever heard of what the hands and wrists should be doing on the take away and the downswing. Absolutely OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!! Thank you
Appreciate the kind words and support Charles!! Our pleasure!
Eric- I’m reading the other comments and I agree! I’ve been thinking about this all wrong. What you’re showing is so counterintuitive to me, but makes so much sense. I always thought that if you bent the wrist back the club-face would open. But your demonstration makes it clear that the club-face is actually closing! Thank you!!! 😊
You got it Matt! Appreciate the kind words and hope it serves you well!!
And I like the simple and short way you explain things.
Some people goes on forever, it makes me want to tune to something else!
Glad to hear it, Becky! Hope this one helps your game!
Superb tip and easy to understand for us mere average golfers. I really need this tip😊😊
Glad this one helped, James!
Excelente 👌 como siempre Eric.
Thank you
Thank you :)
This is so me! I've been thinking about it all wrong and used to flex my wrist back but somewhere started thinking I needed to keep it flat, and I've been struggling with high right short misses. Can't wait to try this. Thanks Eric!
Hope it helps my friend! Our pleasure!
Very nice lesson thank you
Thank you!
Absolutely love this. Improved right away. I'm hitting my 5 wood, which was my trouble club, pure and long. I just struggle with implementing this in my driver.
Love to hear that!
Drove from NE Ohio to Bethlehem to get a lesson from Eric in 2020. Prior was 20+ HC. After lesson w Eric plus commitment to practice/video, etc. my HC is now 8.3. This wrist move was critical for me to go from weak fade to strong draws and more distance. Eric is a fantastic instructor and communicator. Stay tuned, listen, practice and video yourself for real vs feel….. Thanks again Eric!
Hey Ray! Thanks for the note and love to hear of those improvements! Hope you are enjoying your golf and really appreciate the support!!
Shout out to NE Ohioans! Where do you play?
Eric, you do a phenomenal job brother!
Thank you Tony!
Simple and clear tips
Thank you!
I discovered this the past couple weeks and what a difference maker. As someone mentioned it also improves the swing and lag. I have been using a different feel with the left hand. Like a gear with the left hand pushing and the right hand pulling. I love how Eric gives alternate feels for different people. So feel this in the LH as a pull against the RH, or the Spidey palm with the RH.
Love it my friend!
What I love about this lesson is how many other things it fixes. In order to show our palm to the ball we have to stay down with our butt back so that the right elbow can pass in front of the torso. Also this fixes the likelihood of someone casting at the top.
100%!!!
Great tip and Greatest Comment Ever.
One more Cogorno gem... Have been absent fir some time, good to be back!
Thank you for your support, Jose!
This changed my game. Especially with my longer irons. Thank you!!
Love to hear this, Clay!
Wow, can’t wait to try that.
Hope it helps, Mark!
So you explained this just in a different way in another video, and gave a drill to get that feel. That video and this one, changed how consistently I strike the ball. It felt like I was catching the ball so pure that I was kind of shocked. Thank you for the tips. If a 7-10 minute video can make that big of change I can only imagine what a more personalized coaching would do.
Love to hear that---glad it helped :) This one is a biggie for learning to compress the ball consistently.
100%---having great coaching to identify root issues/priorities, create a specific practice plan and the accountability is HUGE....wish I would have done it earlier.
We are at www.cogornogolf.com when you're ready!
Can't emphasize how important this technique is - tried this on the range today and greatly improved contact and distance with irons AND Driver!!! Not to mention the swing plane was much better. Thank you, Eric for sharing this video and tip to us.
Love to hear of the improvements, Keith! Our pleasure!
Just practiced this and OMG what a game changer
Love to hear that Andy!
Excellent!
Thanks Brian!
I like your teaching Eric,,,,,
Thank you, Joseph!
Great stuff, thank you. It feels awesome. Question , can this technique apply to someone with tremendous club and ball speed that is fading and slicing the driver ? ( asking for a friend )
I ask this because you mention “ throwing sooner ( with driver ? ) , **especially** when you have slower swing speed “ ,, **so** does this apply to someone with tremendous swing speed ? Thank you!
this is why I always get an early extension, thanks Eric!
:)
This has been a total gamechanger for me! I have always struggled with periods where I just could not hit it solidly but never really understood why and lately have been trying to square up the club face with body rotation and timing. Obviously, very inconsistent results followed. This video combined with your video about leading with the right arm/elbow have really helped me turn my game around. More distance, height and consistency as I know what I'm trying to accomplish now with each swing. Thanks Eric, your videos are pure gold! Where are you located in the winter. I'm planning to spend 6 weeks in Pam Springs and would love to have some in person lessons with you if possible.
Glad this one helped my friend! Will be teaching in Boca Raton, FL during the winter👊
Great instruction. A lot of people get that weak right grip thing from the old books that said "make the v's parallel."
👊Thank you!
Excellent.
Thanks Alan!
The wrists have been my primary focus for about a month. I was "S'ing" the ball earlier this year. Was looking at my wrist angles and they were terrible. Watching Eric's very simple approach to wrist angles has helped me alleviate the issue. It caused me to draw the ball hard left(I'm right handed) which then forced a great and more effective rotation to fix that. Now I'm hitting high draws, flushing the ball and added about 15% distance. Thank you Eric! So the right wrist cupped somewhat pronounced not only fixed the s's but also improved my hip rotation! Key to the swing
👊Great to hear this one helped your game! Thanks for watching!
Hey Eric, thanks for your. Videos and all that you do for us.
Quick question, when doing this move with the wrists, do you know what would cause me to keep hitting hosel shanks?
Appreciate you being here with us, Lance!
I'd start by checking this video out!
th-cam.com/video/B8duKc_lcPQ/w-d-xo.html
Hi Eric. I did this move this morning. It worked great with the irons. However, I struggled doing this with my driver and 3 wood. It was more difficult doing it with longer sticks.
Hey Mike! Glad it helped with irons! OK to just use for those!!
.Great video, Eric! Thanks! My swing goes haywire if I don't set my right wrist backwards to start the swing.
Thank you, Greg! Hope this one helps your game!
This worked for me. I went out today and compressed the ball better and shot well.
Love to hear this, Kevin!
Brilliant
Thanks!
Hey eric! Thanks for these tips! Question - should we apply the same mechanics for clubs like fairway woods / driver?
Yessir (if you have the same issues)
I have an issue of a little too steep and rerouting hands at top. Hope this will help shallow swing. My Dad use to talk about a feeling of setting a tray on hands at top of swing. Have not been able to recreate that in years. I believe this will help. Thank you.
Hope this one serves you well! Our pleasure!
Eric, you're awesome. Should you hold the right wrist bent back(cupped, or however you define it) to impact and then release, or do you release slightly before impact...and flick it?
Thanks for your support!
The trail wrist DOES need to throw/release...I talk through the timing in this video:
th-cam.com/video/HapUqIlV_MI/w-d-xo.html
Hope it helps!
excellent
Thank you!
This vastly improved my ball striking.
Love to hear this, Scott!
Hey Eric, I have been doing this and it works really good for me hitting straighter shots but i have also noticed when I physically try to rotate my wrists to the left on impact that I hit it even farther but my timing with doing that is inconsistent since my brain does not always do it at the same time.....do you have a suggestion as to what to feel and physically do with wrist rotation on the downswing and/or follow through? Thanks a bunch!
Hey Tracy!
Glad to hear you're having success with it!
I do not have any suggestions for that without seeing it on video--I would just be guessing too much.
A) Are you REALLY doing what you FEEL?
B) When and how much are you doing it
C) what other pieces do you have in your swing to match this? Grip? Body rotation, etc etc
Too many variables....BUT....if we could see on video we could give you a simple answer :)
Send in your swings to www.cogornogolf.com and we can fix this up when you're ready!
Very interesting. Does this help prevent early extension?
I feel its stops the need to early extend as you don't need the time to shallow the club shaft and square face angle.
Cheers!
100%! More details on that here!

Great video Eric. 2 things I really struggle with this though as I have used it a lot in the past. I find it works well with irons but I really struggle with it with driver and woods. Everything is a duck hook and the face is excessively closed with these clubs. I’m unsure which plane to use in the takeaway (around or up). It would be useful to have a video on this with driver. Secondly, I find it makes folding the right arm awkward and unnatural.
Hey Patty!
All good to use these feels for just irons and not woods.
Yeah I hear ya on trail arm!
For me to give you any advice there I would really need to see your swing to say what to do. Send videos in to www.cogornogolf.com if you dont get it sorted we can help there!
As someone coming from a tennis background, once I realised the right arm in the golf swing acts very similar to a tennis forehand, my golf swing improved dramatically. This wrist action is crucial to keep the club face square to the ball just like a tennis racket.
👊Love it, Jonathan!
You mentioned the same feel but releasing sooner with driver. Would you make a video on this?
Yep!
This is essentially what the ProSendr has done for my swing. It’s early in my training with ProSendr but my hook issue has been eliminated unless I lose the wrist conditions the training aid promotes.
Excellent love to hear that!
Great tips! I noticed that from the “right palm at the ball” the wrist eventually rotates counterclockwise through impact to get logo at target. Is that a correct interpretation? I ask because leave the right palm/wrist toward the ball too long is leaving my club face slightly open.
For sure!
More on that here:

I was taking the club away in a similar fashion to how you're taking it away in this video, I was able to compress the ball and my 7 iron was carrying on average 165 yards, however, I had a tendency to pull/hook quite a few shots, is this a common symptom for this sort of takeaway? Cheers
Hey there!
It could be that you're getting the club face TOO CLOSED at some point in your swing...hard to say 100% without seeing your swing on video. Send us your swings at www.cogornogolf.com and we can do an analysis and put a plan together for you!
I actually think of this already thanks for confirming it
👊Our pleasure!
@@CogornoGolf
Same for driver?
This applies to all clubs if you want to close the face to path more
Would release (throw) a bit sooner with driver bc ball tee'd up and want to hit up on it (meaning don't hold the wrist back as long in the downswing)
Here are two videos for more detail on driver vs. iron you may enjoy!

I'll check it out. I used to be a seven but now I've gone up to an 11.
@@CogornoGolf I've been working on this although I've lost distance I'm hitting it much straighter so I want to learn how to get my distance back. And I am blocking my driver so I was just wondering about it thank you
I think this helps with shallowing in transition too.
For sure!
Incredible video Eric, so clear even I can get it right! 😂😂👌👍🏌️♂️
Thank you :) Lol love that
Relatively new subscriber but your content is perfect! I can take this info to the range for immediate improvement! Making it habit is a whole other story but I at least don’t feel lost anymore!
Love that---appreciate you being here with us :)
at impact w/ "show me" palm... does release occur by rolling right forearm to high finish?
Good question
At impact its more "show the ball"
From there will be SOME right forearm rotation (pronation).....to the point where the butt of the club points back on the ball/target line in follow through and the club face is roughly toe right on top of heel
Eric. Doesn't the Precision Impact help with this issue too in the back swing and downswing?
For sure a great one to help with this yes!
I've been working on something like this for the past few years. I recently incorporated the lower body mechanics you discussed in the last few videos. I preach to all the golfers who ask me about my swing to watch this channel. How you present the info just resonates with me. I don't think I've missed a video in months.
I do have one question. Which way is the putter shaft supposed to lean in the putting stroke? I recently switched from a forward shaft lean to what feels like a back shaft lean. It seems to really help me get better shoulder "rocking" in my stroke. I'm lest wristy. I'm trying to take the small muscles out of my putting stroke as I've heard that in stressful situations small muscles will lock up and big muscles will not. I'd like to hear your thoughts on this.
Thank you for all the great content.
Really appreciate it Joey! Thankful for your support!
Putting shaft----on average you would see it be close to straight up and down to slight lean forward.
Players will vary from those two positions depending on their putting style, loft on the putter, ball position, etc.
Vary rarely will if be leaning back......
But if you perform better with it all good
I would really need to see your putting on video to say for sure and know your putter loft to say with certainty.....send swings into www.cogrnogolf.com when you're ready and we can help!
tried this with my chipping and it's a game changer!
Love it!
@@CogornoGolf Tried this on the course this week and shot 75!!!! my best round in years... Great tip!!!
I'm currently rebuilding my swing and your the only coach that teaches this movement as opposed to the 45 degree hinge, i feel powerful in this position i just chunk it any tips?
Hope this helps ya! For sure but have to see your swing....send your swings to www.cogornogolf.com we can fix there once we can see
Hi Eric; when the trail wrist is bent back in that position, does it stay there thru impact? It would really eliminate the flip at the bottom but It seems that if you hit it fat in that position you could really injure that wrist. I understand the concept but seems a little dangerous if not done properly.
Hey Mike!
Keeping the trail wrist bent back forever (as a drill, or say...a punch shot out on the course) would actually move the low point the most forward and all things equal, help prevent fat shots and ensure you hit ball first, ground second.
The opposite of that would be throwing/flipping your trail wrist the most and too early...which moves the low point the most back and causes fat shots.
The trail wrist DOES need to throw/release in a standard swing/shot...I talk through the timing in this video:
th-cam.com/video/HapUqIlV_MI/w-d-xo.html
Hope this helps!
@@CogornoGolf Definitely helps, thanks Eric.
Would you say this is necessary with irons but also with woods and driver?
For all clubs if you want to close the face to path more
Would release (throw) a bit sooner with driver bc ball tee'd up and want to hit up on it (meaning dont hold the wrist back as long in the downswing)
Should you hold the wrist from the start the hole way through the swing
Hey Aidan!
Nope---in order to grip the club with a neutral grip you can't setup this way (grip would be too turned weak)
So you want to set it as you go
here are the details on when and how:
th-cam.com/video/GzfQXuuO-ts/w-d-xo.html&pp=ygUlRXJpYyBDb2dvcm5vIGhvdyB0byBoaW5nZSB5b3VyIHdyaXN0cw%3D%3D
I don't think this is complicated in fact it is the simplest explanation of how to create compression and release. Great thanks
Appreciate it Bob!
When you release the club what angle do you release it? Are you releasing it forward at 1 o clock, 12 o clock or 11 o clock?
Hey Mike....if you're talking from face on I think these will give you the details you're lookin for

@@CogornoGolf hi. First off thank you for the reply. Videos were very helpful. But what I was looking for is what should I feel in the release? Should I be feeling like I’m throwing it out more to the right?
Eric in one of your videos you showed a drill when you held the club out in front of you horizontally and then simply turned to get into the correct arm / wrist position - any chance you can drop me the title - I cant find it!!!!!
Hey! Im not sure I know which one you're talking about :( Any other details to help?
Will this be the same for woods and driver?
Can be! Heres another option to square face with driver:
th-cam.com/video/llgmdwOPxx4/w-d-xo.html
What isn’t commonly understood or explained well is the desired interaction between club, ball and turf in an iron shot. What creates added compression and spin loft in iron shots is a downward blow of the club actually pressing the ball down into the turf creating resistance which is what creates the added compression and spin loft as the ball releases compared with a flat sweeping stroke which is how most beginners swing.
Good one Teddy maybe more to come on that
Spiderman - Show the palm to the ball - now that resonates with me as a trail hand dominant player, thanks!
Love it! Our pleasure!
When you say "show me", do you mean showing the palm to the camera (assuming DTL view)?
Yes!
Having just watched Brian Menzella on Be better Golf. His take is that "shaft lean" is a recipe for disaster especially with long irons unless you have a 95+ swing speed. He also said the majority of decent amateurs have zero or very little shaft lean on impact. Wonder what your take is on this?
I am having this issue myself since introducing right hand flex, whereby my PW to 7 irons are compressed really nicely, but i struggle to get 6-4 in the air. I also find i now miss left with the occasional starts left and goes left shapped shot.
Absolutely it depends on speed
More speed------you can have MORE shaft lean (any club)
Less speed----you can have LESS shaft lean (any club)
When you have less speed you want less shaft lean to get the ball in the air....
But want to be careful.....
If you have NO SHAFT LEAN at impact (like the guy in my lesson from the video) that isn't the goal. That will lead to low point issues (contact) most often. So you want SOME......how much....depends on speed.
ALSO.....perfectly good to have MORE with shorter clubs and LESS with longer clubs (that's normal)
But lets not get carried away......if you have TOO MUCH shaft lean.....you would be in the 1% of the golfing population. 99% I see have too little shaft lean for their speed (we do 1,000 online lessons per month so I see a lot of swings)
So if you get to the point of too much lean thats like you are a billionaire and have a big tax bill to handle. Good problem.
If thats true for you thats such an easy fix.....just throw sooner with the longer clubs!
@@CogornoGolf thanks Eric. Will try that out with longer irons. Is there a feel I should be after?
Would need to see your swing on video to say for sure without guessing.....send swings to www.cogornogolf.com if you don't get it sorted we will fix
I hate it when I see a video like this just before going on a trip that will not allow me time to hit a golf ball for 5 days. I really want to do this. I just did a similar drill and it worked great (that one was focusing on bowing the left hand, but the same affects since they work together.)
Lol I hear ya...maybe not the best timing
The in person lesson was worth every penny though.
Appreciate ya Matt! Hope you are well
The right wrist is the lag and keeps the right elbow forward in the correct position. Simple.
They for sure work together!

This works with the driver also right ?
Yessir, all clubs (if you have the same issues with all of them)
It would really help to show your full swing in super-slow motion. It is one thing to talk about it, it is quite another thing to see it slow enough to absorb it. Thanks.
Thanks for the feedback!
I agree. There are tons of these golf instruction videos out there but hardly any that give a real good super slow mo.
This turns the 8 iron from a 145 yard club into a 160 yarder, simple as that!
Love it!
…can you tape this same video of your Locked Wrist Swing method but with using a driver…
Can not wait till dawn to try that fat right wrist!
Hope it helps your game! :)
Don't overcomplicate it guys. He's basically just saying deloft the club. He said buddy was only hitting a 140yrd 7 iron so obviously alot else was wrong cuz that's PW distance but to keep it simple he delofted for distance, and the stronger grip gave him the draw.
:)
It’s a recycled Ben Hogan mantra, he said pretend your a waiter holding a plate of spaghetti above your shoulder then hold it upright as long as you can ultimately smearing the plate onto the ground. Brilliant, simple. Hey guy, too much talking.
Thanks for the feedback!
yes, you talk too much.
Could there be too much twist? I have a tendency to hook with fairway woods and driver. Irons compression is good but the hooks can creep in especially on longer clubs. ⛳🏌️
Hey Tony----yes you COULD do it too much....
GOOD players who do it too much just learn to get the shaft more forward at impact (DJ, Viktor Hovland, Brooks, etc)
But....if you dont want to do that/can't you could always lessen how much you do this yep! Will lose some distance but not the end of the world
This lesson is gold! I keep coming back to it. Grip change was key for me with the flat wrist to tie in with the palm facing out. Just dialing in ball position and shaft lean now… was getting some low hooks. Moved ball up with a little less lean at address is helping. Thanks Eric….keep it up and wish you were in San Diego!!
