This video, has single handedly given me a feel I hadn't had before. I've been working with a pro for a bit over a year now, and we've been attempting to get my takeaway less inside, and shortened. I watched this video, took it to the range, and was absolutely stunned by how well it has worked. It's now allowed me to not even THINK about my takeaway, and made it very much on plane; it's also allowed me to really FEEL when I'm getting to long or dumped over the top in my backswing. Took it to the course this morning, and it was brilliant. I've said it once, and I'll continue to say it - You provide hands down the best instructional content on this platform. Next time I'm in Florida, I will absolutely have to schedule a lesson with you if possible.... Thank you!!!!
If y’all haven’t heard of a former professional golfer, named Allen Doyle, this was his entire golf swing. That half swing drill…was his ENTIRE golf swing. He won 23 amateur events, 19 professional events (including FOUR senior major championships), and over $15 million. All after the age of 47. I’m not disagreeing with Eric, but this can be ANY golfer’s full swing. Doesn’t need to be just a drill. The longer a swing gets…doesn’t necessarily mean more speed or power, but certainly means more can go wrong. I’ve been playing for 40 years, I’ve studied them all. Allen Doyle and Doug Sanders, are the players I decided to model my movements after. I’ve got a 1.8 handicap, driver average is about 270, and I spend most of my day in the fairway. Remember, when it comes to a complicated game like golf, less can actually be more. Great video!👍
Came across this a few days ago. Driving and short game were solid, but mid-irons and fairway woods were erratic, mostly from not keeping my left arm straight. Also I'm not good at moving forward at the start of my downswing. Took the float load to the range and was immediately impressed. Hell, I even used it on the course and hit more greens in reg than I have in a long time. Respect.
I have been playing golf for 1.5 years now and have steadily dropped to a 19.1 handicap. However, no matter how many videos I watched on TH-cam, I was never capable of hitting a draw. Until this move. Thank you for this video. I am sure it will help me move towards the next phase in my golf development. Kind regards
Another excellent video . Another way to describe the float load move (fabulous drill for proper sequencing) would be loading front foot into the slot position by floating the lower body- the whole sequence being known as the transition move.
This is the simple drill I have been looking for to get my body to start the downswing while creating lag and compressing the ball with solid shaft lean. I will be doing this drill regularly moving forward
One of my favorite drills in that, like the Dr Kwon drills and rope swings, intsead of teaching you movements you need to think about in the swing, it trains your body to recognize the right feels and motions. I hit irons this way very effectively out on the course for a while, but wanted more distance from a fuller swing. On the range, with flat lies and perfect footing, the longer swing does give me more distance, but this shorter swing feels like less room to get off plane, so maybe I'll go back to it for uneven lies and stances.
great stuff ,have you tried this with a step into the lead foot , as I throw the hands back I bring up my lead foot and stomp , when I do it right it is pure , thanks
Eric this was a great drill. I have been struggling big time lately. Hit 20 balls today using this drill and once I got the hang of it I am hitting the ball so much better, with much less effort. Thabks
I picked up at least 10 yards with every iron in the bag today using this drill on the range today, then for a short practice 9 holes in the evening. Such an amazing drill. Everything felt 50% of my normal backswing. Eric, we need the adjustments on how you take this pivot feeling or changes with this feeling to the driver. One of your best video's buddy, great stuff.
This was an amazing video to come across! I've had some serious issues with early extension and a minor shift in the initial takeaway. After watching this video, I immediately went out to my matt to get some dry swings in and I felt a difference instantly. I'm a fairly long hitter, but I've never had the consistent ball striking I've been searching for. I went to the course about an hour after the dry runs of your drill to warm up on the range and hit the course. I liked your drill so much, I've basically made it my swing, but instead of pausing halfway back, I keep a nice tempo and really feel the coil. It was my best day on the course in terms of ball striking, now I need to work on my chipping. lol Anyways, thank you for the help! I'm about to look through your content for more gems like this one!
I actually started doing this by accident and stuck with it as it corrected my slice immediately. I am consistently drive 250+ yards and every now and again I will exceed 300. It really does work.
Love the drill of feeling the lowering of the shoulder and squat move together. That's the key. My swing has shortened over the past year and I'm hitting the driver best in my life.Not as long as Rahm and Finau of course but same length of backswing. This drill is almost how I've been swinging for the past 6 months. Much more lag. Now I DO want to add length to my swing as my iron flight is just too low and I know I can pick up 10-15 yds on my driver with some practice. This is gonna be a conscious drill in my practice for sure. The add a longer backswing near the end of the drill sessions.
@@blackie75 lol. I'll be scooping more OG coins. ALGO, TXZ. They're huge into gaming now and massive partnerships. Be stacking more along with LINK at the firesale prices. Keep it in the short grass...
normally i try to pause at the top for a second to slow down the motion (stop overpacing the swing) cant wait to try this motion instead next time at the range
I’ve watched Eric’s videos for quite a while. For some reason, I cheat on him and my eye wanders to others on YT 😂…but I always come back because of videos like this. This was a great one
The "A-ha" moment of this video, for me, was not just the hip moving to the left, but for the torso to move in conjunction with. Historically, I would only get the hip to the left, and not feel the torso/lat, and generate power solely through pushing up and back with my left foot. Keeping tension on the lat should help "sync up" my kinematic chain, and really unwind my torso, before unwinding the shoulders, then arms, then hands. Excellent drill!
Great stuff, EC. Listen, what do you think of this OTTFI swing being pushed now? Over The Top From The Inside - club comes way inside then over the top of the backswing plane. The guy from My Swing Evolution is all in on this. Apparently there's no shallowing - you're already shallow. Can you do a video on this?? Lot of pros do this. Seems the exact opposote of me swinging OUT to right field like Marcus Edblad and others advocate. Thanks.
This is exactly what I have been practicing and to be honest, the contact you make and the results makes me want to do it on the course lol. To me, maybe I am wrong, this is almost essentially what makes Hogan's swing so idealistic. He of course has much more to it like shallowing and right hand punch, but essentially the float move is what I see there. Maybe I wrong, but either way this is a great drill and thank you for sharing it!
I went to the range today. Kept shanking it! So I switched to the floating arm drill using my 7i. Nailing the ball. Then switched over to full swings. Instant fix. Just need to work on being smoother.
I literally discovered this last week after spending time on the range following a disastrous round... I was hitting half-shots with irons to work on accuracy and found that if I cut my backswing in half and barely broke my left wrist, along with having a good hip move, that I could hit the ball my normal distances with much, much better accuracy... For me this is no longer a drill, but how I play all my iron shots now...
So watching you use this training aid. On the backswing it allows you to bend your right wrist back but it does not lock the right wrist in a bent position through impact. Is that right?
Hey Doug! It does allow you to bend your right wrist back in backswing.....but it DOES lock in your right wrist in bent position through impact....thats the beauty of it! Heres the first full video I did on it with the details: th-cam.com/video/MchWG9IYBQw/w-d-xo.html
As you work on this more, do you ever lengthen the swing before you try that same float load piece, or do you just try to retain the feel in a full swing?
Funny enough, when I do this drill, (Brilliant job presenting this btw Eric) it feels very much like cutting grass with my grass whip. The sensation of the lower body going one way and the club still floating back is really golf gold.
I do this sometimes at the range to try to take my hands out of it n so I use more body turn but all to try to get that stretched out full arms extended finish. I hit a high iron so I also do this hoping to flatten it out some. I’m steep can’t help it I’m a dirty steep hacker lol. This gets you more out and In front instead of down into the pop up moon ball. I also saw Tiger working on it so it’s got to be golden 😁
When you say the club head should be just slightly toe,d down on the backswing when it first gets to parallel to the floor. Will this look more toe,d down with shorter clubs . Thanks
When the club is at parallel on the backswing, before you transition to the lead foot (and the club goes up an additional foot as a response), how much pressure are you feeling on the inside of your back foot heel?
Looking forward to trying this but quick question. If you’re getting the same distance as a full swing, is there any advantage of doing a full swing on the course?
So I had been integrating this "hip shift forward to instigate the downswing" motion into my practice, but what you call the 'float load' move actually instigates this movement BEFORE the downswing begins. It's interesting, and it really is making me feel my age (55): I'm obviously not as flexible as I used to be, but I really feel like I CANNOT take my club as far back as before if this move is utilized. It literally makes it impossible for me to exaggerate my backswing, and I don't consider that a bad thing: it will stop a pull, and casting/early extension...a whole host of swing flaws. This is more purely athletic move to the ball, but when done absent tension, should create increased ball speed off the club, and - more importantly - groove the club into the shallowed on plane swing we're all looking for. This looks easier to practice and implement than most other tips I've seen - and it reminds of what I see in Garrett Clark's (GM_Golf) swing. I'll work on it. Thanks!
I'm going to try and incorporate that move pushing down/forward today on the range, looks like it can help increase some speed. I've been working on getting wide with my back swing by doing the same with keeping right arm straight, not much wrist action, but when my arms are parallel to the ground, feel like the club head is poking a hole into the clouds, or ceiling behind me, if that makes sense. Then on my down swing I try to keep my wrists "quiet" I guess..by letting the letting the club head weight dictate the hinge in my wrists. That's how I get that whiplash feeling.
Eric, I was trying this great drill at the urging of one of your online coaches in order to get shaft lean (I am a member of the CogornoGolf community). However, I was noticing that in trying to go 'down and forward' near the beginning of the motion that my entire body was moving toward the target - left knee and hip WAY out in front of my left foot. Is there a quick fix for keeping the 'down and forward' motion without getting the left side so far toward the target? What am I missing?
Hey Kevin! Yes....the answer is like to allow the lead knee and hip to go forward.......but......not the head as much Check this one out to help: th-cam.com/video/Jdj3vDxsuGs/w-d-xo.html
Hi Eric , great drill I’ve used it in the past. But I have a question , ever since I’ve used this drill I’m not able to make a full back swing ? During a practice swing I’m able to make a full turn but as soon as I step up to the ball to hit the shot I’m not making a full turn ? Any advice what can do ? Thanks again Niels
Thanks for the great tip . I’ll try it out next time on the range to see if I can get my swing up to a full turn ! Keep up the great work and thanks once again !
Good spot Jonathan....I thought the same thing the first time watching this....these feet are a bit wide for my liking :) Now for this drill in particular I dont HATE the feet being slightly wider but I would prefer ankles just barely outside of hip width....around 15 inches apart with 8 iron goo starting point
@@CogornoGolf One of the things I really respect about you (other than your dedication and knowledge) is how you work so well with other coaches and players. You're top of the list @ericcogornogolf !
This is almost like Jon Rahm and Tony Finau swing except they just go 3x fast at the transition. I swing this almost naturally on my knock down or 3/4 swing. I should just make this my normal swing for consistency.
I've been doing my own version of this for years, it absolutely works. You can get even more speed if you keep your wrists a little loose and let the club head lag a little as you take it back. It will fly out so fast you can't hold it.
I basically started to play golf like this. And guess what? On the course I end up taking a “full swing”. But the thought process leads to better strikes. And I’m hitting my irons under control and with modern players distance irons (Cally Apex) they go far enough. Roger
My local pro had me doing this and it really is a brilliant drill for us who struggle with sequencing. And as you say it fixes a lot of other stuff as a bonus.
For this drill I dont like that....but IF the hinge doesnt create itself on the way down....then I would consider adding in earlier on backswing to help
I was absolutely flushing the ball with this drill, but couldn’t hit with a full swing after? Haha I like the drill, I’m sure there is a logical explanation.
Another comment: I can see how the average golfer using this technique may have to guard against fatigue later in a round/during a marathon 36 hole day: fatigue could manifest as a breakdown of the straightness of the lead arm through impact, or a collapse of the knees into the ground during the downswing, resulting in a fat shot, etc. Other than that: FAR more natural and repeatable.
The Precision Impact training aid does the opposite of what good training aids do. It would be better if it would force the right hand into flexion, so the muscles would be trained to keep the wrist in extension.
Your instruction is excellent, but it is aimed at the young people who are supple and movement is easy. Tell about the motion for a 76 year old who has been playing since he was 20

I'm loving this drill. You got a sub out of it too.
:) Thanks for your support!
@@CogornoGolf you're welcome
Hi Eric , great drill I’ve used it in the past. But I have a question , ever since I’ve used this drill I’m not able to make a full back swing ?
During a practice swing I’m able to make a full turn but as soon as I step up to the ball to hit the shot I’m not making a full turn ? Any advice what can do ? Thanks again Niels
Feel like your backswing takes an extra 2 seconds compared to what it normally does

Thanks for the great tip . I’ll try it out next time on the range to see if I can get my swing up to a full turn ! Keep up the great work and thanks once again !
Hi Eric, great video. I see that your feet are outside of your shoulders, for you longer irons do your feet keep getting wider apart?
Good spot Jonathan....I thought the same thing the first time watching this....these feet are a bit wide for my liking :)
Now for this drill in particular I dont HATE the feet being slightly wider but I would prefer ankles just barely outside of hip width....around 15 inches apart with 8 iron goo starting point
I need a way to stay connected on my backswing and make a better turn.
Give these a shot my friend!

Love this! Beautiful explanation!
Thanks!
Will this drill help with early extension?
It can help with that....it's really to get the correct sequencing in downswing
Seems like float loading would be the best way to go on full shots, but will this work with 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 shots?
Prob best to train for full shots, agreed Richard!
Would you recommend this drill with woods/metals?
Can use can feels ....some people need more time with backswing length with longer clubs
THis is a solid lesson
Thanks Paul!
Looks like the Chase Duncan FLIPS drill.
Yes....I mentioned him in there I think in the beginning....hes definitely one of the ones Ive seen over the years doin this
@@CogornoGolf One of the things I really respect about you (other than your dedication and knowledge) is how you work so well with other coaches and players. You're top of the list @ericcogornogolf !
Excellent drill! I love how it really emphasizes the athletic motion of the swing while helping me improve proper wrist movement. Thank you!
You got it Nick!
I’ll try this next time .. I have a feeling I’ll be topping a lot of balls
:)
Great drill.
Thanks, Felipe!
Can you do this with a driver? Or is it too “descending”?
Hey DL....check out my answers to this question below
@@CogornoGolf thx - didn’t scroll down far enough earlier.
This is gold
Thank you!
This is excellent.
Appreciate it!
Eric, why not do the drill at address, ala Bobby Jones lagging clubhead takeaway?
Hey! You definitely could do it that way as well!
Jon Rahm does this, real good.
Yessir!
If you can do this move, you’ll be good at golf. It’s that simple!
👊Thanks for watching, Rudra!
Should call it the Jon Rahm drill. Good drill
Haha true
This is almost like Jon Rahm and Tony Finau swing except they just go 3x fast at the transition. I swing this almost naturally on my knock down or 3/4 swing. I should just make this my normal swing for consistency.
👊Thanks for watching!
Was literally thinking of those two as well. Short backswings but some of the longest hitters on tour…
Thank yoiu
Our pleasure!
I've been doing my own version of this for years, it absolutely works. You can get even more speed if you keep your wrists a little loose and let the club head lag a little as you take it back. It will fly out so fast you can't hold it.
:) Thanks for watching!
I basically started to play golf like this. And guess what? On the course I end up taking a “full swing”. But the thought process leads to better strikes. And I’m hitting my irons under control and with modern players distance irons (Cally Apex) they go far enough. Roger
Excellent!
Best.drill.ever.
👊Thanks for being here with us Jeff!
ABSOLUTELY!!!
Yessir!
In my opinion….. a better explained and more detailed version of the famous “preset drill” !!! Thanks Eric !!
Ok, lets see this with a driver. Lets see JT’s slide with a driver. Thank you
:) We like to learn this one with an iron
My local pro had me doing this and it really is a brilliant drill for us who struggle with sequencing. And as you say it fixes a lot of other stuff as a bonus.
Love it
Good stuff...any thoughts on setting the wrist at impact position earlier (on the back swing or at address)?
I should have mentioned specifically for a golfer with physical impairments.
For this drill I dont like that....but IF the hinge doesnt create itself on the way down....then I would consider adding in earlier on backswing to help
Thanks Eric! Loved this video! Quick question, can this also be done with a longer iron or even woods and driver? Curious why or why not. TIA 🙏
Same FEELS can be used for longer clubs....for drill I like 8 iron
Can this be a full swing? Why or why not?
Yep----heres how to tke this to full swing

@@CogornoGolf the best.. thankyou Eric 🙏
Why is this done with a mid to short iron? This can’t be done with a long iron?
Hey Peter
Can use same feels ...some people need more time with backswing length with longer clubs
@@CogornoGolf ok. I understand. Thank you , and great video!
I was absolutely flushing the ball with this drill, but couldn’t hit with a full swing after? Haha I like the drill, I’m sure there is a logical explanation.
Check this one out:

Another comment: I can see how the average golfer using this technique may have to guard against fatigue later in a round/during a marathon 36 hole day: fatigue could manifest as a breakdown of the straightness of the lead arm through impact, or a collapse of the knees into the ground during the downswing, resulting in a fat shot, etc. Other than that: FAR more natural and repeatable.
Haha most people getting fatigue around 14-15 holes let alone 36 :)
This is a drill? This may be my entire new swing! Lol
:) Hope this one is helping Marc!
The Precision Impact training aid does the opposite of what good training aids do. It would be better if it would force the right hand into flexion, so the muscles would be trained to keep the wrist in extension.
Thanks for your feedback Bruce! We are all entitled to our opinions
This is just my normal swing now and I don’t care that it looks weird. I’m hitting it farther and much more consistent 🤷♂️
Love to hear that, Nathan!
Your instruction is excellent, but it is aimed at the young people who are supple and movement is easy. Tell about the motion for a 76 year old who has been playing since he was 20
Hey George!

This is Tony Finau's swing, isn't it?
Yep
What is JT’s last name? Where is he from? Why was he on your show? He didn’t get to say much… thanks
Sorry I did too much taking there I agree Lol....my bad
JT Thomas
Hes in New York....www.dollarbilldivotclub.com
All good. Keep up the good work. Thx
Most of us, are swing is way too long
Hope this helps!
