Rushing my downswing has been a problem for years, so I added a little pause at the top a couple of years ago(I even say pause in my mind). It really helps. I'm going to try that longer pause just to see how it goes!
Love that! Hope this one helps!
This fits into the Justin Rose keep your back to the target for an extra beat to stop over the top. Recently, I've been doing the pull the hands straight down (aka DeChambeaau dropping your hands into the right pocket and turning on the downswing). while your chest turning will get the club coming from the inside. I don't hit nowhere near as the pause king, but I am hitting straighter.
Love it Alex! I like those feels as options for players who get too open too fast and or too over the top!
The Justin Rose tip - (and Ernie Els ) is the best tip ever for me. Chris Ryan does some great videos on the arm movement early by the way.
Eric, what a great vid to change things up and offer a different perspective on a golf swing. You always seem to offer insight on many of the thoughts I would have questions about or observations on, for instance when you said the pause can give one the opportunity to think about working on something in the downswing. Heck yeah, going to try elements of this in my practice and play over the next few days. All the best to Ben in his future play.
thanks John! Appreciate the kind words and support! We're all just trying to figure it out together as we go :) I think Ben will crush in---cant wait to see his journey for sure!
Hey eric, I'm just wondering why dont you use the tracers like a lot of the other creators on youtube. I think that would enhance your videos. That way, we can see how the ball flight changes with the different drills and such. Thanks for all the content. You've really helped my game this past year
Thanks Keith! Last I was told....to do it well....it takes a really long time. Thats the reason :) I'll ask again and revisit and see what we can do---appreciate the feedback
Awesome explanation Eric....Thank you so much for taking time with Ben. I could literally see how happy he was when you gave him that lesson. Looking forward to meeting you one day soon.
Thanks Joe!! I owe you a thank you for introducing Ben to our videos and allowing us to meet online! He's a great kid....you raised a great young man. Hope we get to link up this summer!
I like Adam Scotts comment re the back swing, “let it mature”, sums up the need to wait a nanosecond before transition
Yep that's just such a good comment by him...Adam Scott may not be the greatest golfer to ever live but God damn he has one of the most beautiful swings ever that's for sure
Love that! Let it mature.....I may need to start using that :)
Let it brew into a fine elixir.
Dr. Kwon says the same thing - "mature back swing" - and reinforces it with the rope drill. You can't swing a rope fast by pulling on it from the top of the swing.
Love Ben! Really cool that you’re working with him, Eric. Great job! 👊👊 Oh, by the way, I have incorporated a pause at the top of the swing, and I love it! I feel like I have forever to hit the ball and I no longer feel rushed. I would advocate it for those who struggle with a quick transition and have a tendency to “hit the ball from the top.” I think it can really help as it’s helped me. Thanks again, Eric.
Love it! appreciate the kind words and support---love that its working well for you!!
I needed this! Thanks!
I’ve seen the Tiger video talking about doing it but it didn’t sink in like it does watching this in action.
You got it! Something worth testing out!!
Eric... You're an exceptional instructor. I've followed you for a while and your lesson for Ben on his channel was elite. TH-cam is replete with incredibly bad instruction so it's really nice to find someone that knows what he's talking about. Keep up the good work.
Thank you! I really appreciate you taking the time to say this----thank you for the support!
Mr. Cary Middlecoff, major winner. Had the famous middlecoff pause, he won 3 majors and 39 times on tour was a dentist but gave it up to be a tour player starting at 26 years old.
Good one---I never knew that! I know the name and swing but didn't know about the pause---I gotta check that out! Thank you!
This absolutely WORKS. Letting it pause does allow my right side to load, SETTLE and the downswing seems to flow much better. I play a 13.5 fairway wood and it's a Dr Jekyl & Mr Hyde but the pause really TAME this beast, I was hitting it so good. Nothing else changed. The driver was RIPPED as well. I see Cameron Young and the old Matsuyana do the pause but didn't try it but this video makes so much sense, thank you Eric, you are the DA MAN of Golf Instructions on TH-cam 🤙🤙🤙
Love it!! Appreciate the kind words and support :)
I had a teachers have me pause during a lesson once just to gather myself. I noticed I hit the ball with better trajectory. I incorporated a micro pause late in the season last year and it helped me be more consistent. It takes a little practice to get used to it.
Love to hear that!
Thanks Eric, love your channel 👍
Appreciate ya!
I'm 77 years old and I've been pausing for years, especially with the driver.And it really helped me
Love it Wayne!
Love it. Recently started copying a bit of Cameron Young's tempo too. Funny thing is that what feels like seconds is actually hardly noticeable by others. Very helpful though to have extra time to recenter.
lol 100%....I see that same thing alot....feels like a long pause and hardly stops :) FEELS vs REALS
In my case, i will intentionally slow down my backswing and pause a little bit on the top. been doing this practice for a month and my body still hate it, but the result is actually good. My club face is much more square at impact. and because it help my hip rotate frist, the result ball distance is actually longer....but even a very slightly pause on the top, it does not feel nature at all..my mind told me it is right way to do, but my body hate it....
👊
Hope this one helps your game, Tony!
@@CogornoGolf It does, really helpful, thanks you all!
What a great way to think about the driver swing!
Hope it helps ya!! I like it as well for people to test and see!
@@CogornoGolf I am going to test it out because as like Ben, I do have a quick takeaway and fast downswing. So maybe this is what’s been the missing 🔑.
One of the best golfers I ever paired with was a former tour player who is now in his mid 50's. He has a noticeable pause at the top, and absolutely smokes the ball. The only guy I've ever played with who drove the ball like that is my buddy who happens to be 6'6", in his younger 30's, and grew up with a golf club in his hand. Some of the best golf I've played was with what I felt was a pause at the top. It probably wasn't much of a pause in reality, but it felt like it to me.
Love it----I think it's helped a lot of golfers as well....feeling that little pause or hesitation. Something so small that can make such a big difference
This is exactly what I am trying to work on now and trying to find SOMETHING that allows me to actually pause while I practice. It has always been so hard for me and my biggest issue is my quick transition. If I even give myself half a second at the top I hit it sooooooo much better, but it is SOOOOO difficult for me. Eric, and tips or drills to help make this easier? I need some professional assistance for sure
Hey! Love it!
For sure.....suggestions
1. Exxagerate. Feel like you hold it for 3 seconds instead of
2. Do it for longer. Lets see after 6 months of weekly practice
3. Hire a coach. To give you feedback, accountability, etc. Send swings to www.cogornogolf.com we would love to help you there!
@@CogornoGolf love these… I will for sure send some videos to you. Also started a You Tube channel called Road To Scratch and I will share that with you so you can see some swings there as well. Very cool!
Just subbed, Ben brought me here. Lovin your content Eric.
Hell yeah---appreciate you coming over!! Let me know if you ever need anything
I started thinking of my driver swing like I'm serving in tennis. I'm carrying my driver around 300 yards, I don't pause as long, but I've definitely slowed down the transition between backswing and downswing
Love it rick! I've had a lot of the same experience with players especially with longer clubs in terms of that slight "pause" or collecting feeling at the top helping sequence things up and give that extra second on the way down. Something worth trying for most....glad you found it helped!
I’ve lost so much flexibility, I have to throw the club back to feel like I have a full swing, and then it rebounds so fast. I struggle to gather myself at the top. I have practice the pause at top, but I have to slightly extend the backswing some more to initiate the downswing.
Hope this the pause/giving extra second helps you out with that some....sounds like it you go long and get that rebound it should!
Awesome!
Thank you!!
Ben is 6'4" tall? I am curious if his driver is set upright and/or his driver shaft is longer or shorter than "off-the-shelf" 45.5 inches. It looks shorter on screen--which seems helpful if you are approaching from up high (rather than from around)--but may be just because he is relatively tall.
Hey @Jeff! Great question....I'm not sure his driver length but you could be right! He was definitely taller in person than I was expecting. I'm about 6'1 with shoes on and I was looking up to him quite a bit lol def in that 6'3-4 range
I will try anything to get that ball in the fairway
whatever works right :)
Hi Eric, does Ben use the pause at the top for all clubs? Thanks
Hey Colin! Yes he does! He pauses as long as any player I've ever personally seen/worked with. Works great for him. Not for everyone but I'd say good to play with for players who feel rushed/out of sequence and need that extra bit of time! Check out his channel you can see some playing vlogs its fun to watch
Ben has a couple on course vlogs where he mentions he doesn't pause. Usually really short wedge shots and when chipping.
I played yesterday and was embarrassed at how terrible I played with my driver. I’m willing to try anything so this will be something I attempt.
Hope this helps ya---let me know how it goes! If not this---there are other solutions!!
The only thing that might be problematic is trying to keep a flowing rhythm/sequencing to your swing, but you can't argue with his results. Probably a good "drill" for most, rather than a full-time swing pattern.
agreed! Wont work for everyone but something worth testing!
Reminds me of video game golf. I’ve tried and it just wasn’t my thing
Lol good point
Seems like all great players get their swing from a drill they worked on and just took it to the course. Great example of swing your swing at the end of the day, just find it first.
For sure you see that a lot---good point!
The dude’s good but the narrow shoulders and flexibility certainly help make it easier.
Great kid!
Wish you had talked about HOW he does this pause. I don’t have the strength to pause…or all my muscles lock up. Need more description of HOW.
Good call---agreed....after watching this back I wish I would have done a better job and asked different questions. Thats my bad
Um stop swinging
Would you still use the pause with less than a full swing?
Great question----you could....I believe when I was watching Ben's videos he was saying the pause starts for him around 50--60 yards and then for all shots after that (full or not).
I would just test both and see what works best
Thanks Eric. Interesting video.
Hi Eric, I’m a bit confused on something. I watched a video with you and Mike Malaska. In that video Mike specifically said not to pause or stop on the transition.
Hey Jimmy! Yeah totally get the confusion there......I would say there are different ways to get the job done that can both be "right" at the same time. This is certainly not the "traditional" or normal way to do it but it can work!!
You see guys like Cameron Young and Hideki on tour have versions of pause very successfully.....so clearly we can't say thats "wrong".
It's just different ways to do it.
Like anything in the golf swing....this pause or collecting at top will work for some and not for others. Always best to find what works best for you (and everyone individually) and never take anything as always "right" or "wrong". Lots of variables and moving parts that CAN work :)
My guess is what Mike is really attempting to avoid thinking about the swing in two different parts. He wants it to be thought of as a single movement. That’s my guess
Pausing at the top of the swing works in sand traps, too!
Mike Malaska is wrong a lot dude. He’s stuck in the old school like Leadbetter
@thebooze13,, funny! Very funny! Where your next show is going to take place?😅
I believe I was supposed to see this video today…the pause at the top
Working on some issues and I’m thinking a pause of some time would help maybe fix things …for me
Seek and ye shall fine 🤞⛳️🤞
Hope this one helps!!
Doesnt appear that shallowing of the club is something that is in his swing huh
What’s with this guy’s feet jumping around a la Scheffler, except Ben’s jumps back?
You'll see that in a lot of the greats for sure :)
👍👏👍👏
Hope you enjoy!!
Municipal? 😭
