Thanks for the shoutout Eric! Been a big fan of your videos long before I started TH-cam! Spookily I have a very similar video scheduled to upload today about a similar no backswing drill. Enjoyed the video mate 🤙🏻
My pleasure and appreciate it! You have been crushing it---I have been watching from a far. Look forward to your continued success and you sharing drills/ideas for us other coaches to share more as well lol :)
Love to see it
Love it when there are collab vids (like those with Tom Saguto on ECG) and also seeing you guys reference and comment on each other’s content. Love your content jchown since subscribing last year!
You are a class act Eric. Love how you give shout out's to other instructors from time to time.
Appreciate that Michael--happy to pass along great drills/concepts I learn from other coaches...if we all learn and share together everyone wins!
You have endless incredible drills. Such a talented teacher, this has to be a top 10 for you!!! Love it
Thank you :)
Your swing is absolutely perfect. I watch all of your videos mostly to simply watch you execute perfect form time and time again. Saguto, Cheney, and others have nice swings that are consistent, but yours is just at a different level. Thank you for the content!
I appreciate that Steve! Many years in the works :)
Well, he has a couple of things going for him and those should be taken into consideration. He's young, strong and I'm sure has a strong "core". Along with good golf mechanics and athletic body you too would hit like him. I remember being that strong years ago and could hit balls over the fence. Now, at 72 golf has become a very different thing altogether.
The reason I watched this video is because it does make sense and especially for seniors like myself it's a good way to get some distance back into my swing but it will not ever look like Eric's excellent swing.
Nice swing Eric...your instruction on this concept is excellent. You can bet I will start working on it soon.
First time I've seen this drill, and I'm anxious to try it! Seems like exactly the thing I need to be working on--more for consistency than distance, but I'll happily take both. What I really need is a swing I can trust.✌
I have faith in ya :)
Wow, this is such a great drill, on so many levels. As always you're doing an excellent job working thru the details.
Thank you!
This is a great exercise and really got me in tune with the torque I was missing in my swing. Thanks for posting!
Our pleasure! Hope it serves you well!
Brilliant Eric! Recruiting movement, adding club head speed and keeping the club face square 🎉Best, John Williams @JWfit 🇬🇧
Thank you, John! Hope this one helps your game!
The statements from 4:50 to 5:00 are just golden. You and Tom Saguto are my favorite TH-cam golf instructors.
Appreciate your support!
Been looking for drills to help me create shaft lean and compression for ages, and your video helped me so much! Thank you and keep up the great work!
Love to hear this! Appreciate your support!
Very nice Eric. This perfectly utilizes out kinetic chain to perform as it should without padding extra time into the swing to allow us (me!) to try to manipulate anything. This also compacts the swing to compress the ball and hit the center of the club face more often. Well done!
👊
Thanks Mark!
Great video Eric! I've been trying to slow my downswing for a few weeks now & these frills seem to be just what I need when practicing in the yard with my net.
Thank you! Hope it helps!
Wow!!!! Just tried this at the range. It completely transformed my ball striking. I picked up at least average 10 yards on all my irons. Sometimes 20 yards. It also works for driver. Best of your lessons thus far. I couldn't believe how far I was hitting with such a short backswing.
Love to hear that!! Thank you!
Great video again Eric. I plan on using this in the beginning of my warmup, at the range before I play. Six swings from stationary setup. Six swings with hitting the ball, club parallel to the ground. Six swings hitting the ball starting with club parallel to the ground and swinging back to maybe 3/4 and hitting the ball. Plan in place. What I like is learning to transfer your weight to the lead side properly. This will also help in hitting ball first and divot after the ball. So many extra benefits with your drill.
I like that! Keep me updated with the progress and how you end up fitting it in. I wouldn't typically do this pre round BUT I'm all for it if it works. Let me know
One of my favorite drills improved. Thanks Eric!
My pleasure Charles--thanks for being here with us!
Super. What I like is how you relate "feeling wise" to the student. Thank you!
Appreciate that feedback! Thank you!
Excellent instruction & great drills! Thanks for sharing the talent & knowledge!
Thank you!
Fantastic lesson, and great video. We all get a little complacent. This, drill really help to keep sharp. Thank you
Thank you, Alan!
This has to be the best drill ever! I struggle from time to time with the timing of hips, shoulders and hands. This drill seems to get them properly in synch. Thanks much!
Love to hear this one helped!
Jonathon Jchown is a great teacher and I really enjoy his TH-cam content. Good on you for shouting him out Eric
Agreed he's a great coach!!
thanks Eric for the lesson, tip. looking forward to trying this out. Just got back from the range and i saw this,, the very problem i'm having. I know where my problem lies but have not been able to fix it. starting too fast from the top of the swing. I have beautiful practice swings that feel really good, coming from inside and not rushed, but as soon as it's the real swing and i'm focused on the ball.... hurry from the top trying to generate power. I think this might be the ticket to a calmer more controlled down swing! thanks again!
👊Our pleasure! Hope it serves you well!
Great drill perfect timing I needed to see this!
Thanks Steven! Hope it helps!
Excellent instruction... always enjoy your videos! Thanks
Thanks JMB!
Another GREAT video Eric. You manage to get to the basics vveerrryy well in an understandable 9 minutes.
Thanks
Thank you!👊
You say that you are loading the front foot in the backswing, but shouldn't we be loading the backfoot in the turn of the backswing ?
When do we start putting weight into the front foot ?
Thanks.
Great video and explanation of the drill. Will be trying that out later today.
Thanks Stuart! hope it serves you well
One of your very best lessons. The first drill you demonstrated is a drill with a great Bob Toski has used. Once again excellent.
👊Thank you!
Definitely trying this at the range. Seems like a great method to simply work on proper compression as well. That's all I want!
hope it helps!!
Awesome. ECG just keeps getting better. Thanks for all the lessons, Top Content indeed.
Thanks a lot!
this could be my new action, simple, easy to do , accurate and seems reliable. thanks eric.
Our pleasure, Steve!
Eric, I literally just stumbled onto this vid. Excellent . Thanks for the tip. everybody wants to hit the ball farther 'with control'. Thanks
Our pleasure! Hope it serves you well!
Can’t wait to try this. I used to have a finau-like half swing and hit my PW 160+ and driver 300+ easy but changed to a conventional swing after an injury and my PW went to 120 and driver to 220. After a few practice swings in the yard like this I forgot how short my old swing used to be. So much easier for me to get speed
Love it
I struggled with my irons last week. Then I found this. I tried the drill for fifteen minutes today before playing half a round. Not only did it give me more distance on the irons, but the full driver swing finally clicked into place. I hit 2 of my best drives ever today. Thank you so much.
Love to hear this!
Wow, you're crushing it. Keep up the solid work. I duct taped 5 old clubs together and do his 1 arm drills for upwardly of 5,000 reps per day (35,000 swings per week > 140,000 plus left arm swings a month.) I no longer even need my right arm because the ball goes way too far when I use both. Like tennis, I truly believe the game was meant to be mastered with 1 arm. I'm gonna start using right arm drills but because I'm naturally right handed, I'm gonna duct tape 8 clubs together and start swinging heavier. It's a great forearm, lat and shoulder work out you even hit parts of the traps and glutes which is icing on the cake. My goal is to get to 225,000 swings a month with both 1 armed swings. Thanks
Love the drill and your explanations are right to the point 👍👍
Thanks Robert!
This is a drill that Claude gave me in my lesson. Great way to feel completing the forward swing and not stall.
👊Love it, John!
Many thanks for this video, I am a 4 handicap golfer and have been struggling to hit par 3 holes consistently. I have got into the habit of turning the hands over and missing most shots left of target. But since doing this drill my accuracy and distance has improved immensely. Very happy, thank you.
Our pleasure---hope this helps ya!!
Another good one, Eric! I'm a "recovering overswinger." Been struggling with excessive arm runoff at the top; this causes an open cf at impact, off-sync pressure shift and over-dominant upper body. When I'm playing good, I get it right.; when I fumble, I tend to spiral back to my old habits. Your videos are helping me a lot in my journey to a more compact and efficient backswing, and this one will def be part of my practice. Thanks!
Appreciate it! Good call--if you're an over swinger this one will help big time! Key to use video from face on to see how long it actually goes vs what you feel.
Prob something like hands hip high on way back will likely LOOK normal
@@CogornoGolf You're absolutely right. I just found out through video feedback that my perception of short was wayyy off. Like if I feel arms are chest-high, they're actually at about 11 o'clock. So my formula now is REAL IS PLUS 2 HOURS OF FEEL 😂 Sounds silly but it works for me!
Thanks again, man! BTW, your "Sling Your Arms" video massively helped me and a couple of friends here in the Philippines!
Very helpful in getting the lower body in to play more effectively. Thank you.
Our pleasure! Hope it helps your game!
Great drill! Definitely going to try this ASAP.
Thanks---hope it helps!
I can’t wait to get to the range tonight to try this drill. Thanks Eric.
Hope it helps!
Tremendous video and explanation. Will be working hard on this.
Thank you Bill! Hope it helps your game!
This drill is magic.. Thanks for sharing it.
You got it!!
This is exactly what I need right now! Thank you.
Hope it helps my friend!
This instruction is perfect and for so many reasons. just excellent....and btw I've been playing for 60 years....
Thank you for the kind words!
Loved this video. I make good start thru to just before impact where I’m flipping. I think this is down to my chest not turning. I see this speed thru impact really helping. Can’t wait to try it
Thanks Scott---hope this one helps ya!
Great video, easy to remember golf drills to build speed. 🙌
Thanks Mitch!
very nice video! can't wait to try it! subscribed and eager to see more content. keep up the good work.
Appreciate it!
Great drill. I find that it helps to get my weight forward by starting the downswing by feeling my forward knee externally rotating. Also helps to start hip rotation.
I like that!
Great video Eric Thank you.
My pleasure!
Best speed drill I’ve seen, ever!! Pure genius 👍
Appreciate it!
Spectacular tip and help. I’m literally going to work this tip & idea tomorrow. Recently, actually early this season I implemented a significant “slow down “ with my backswing…
All in all…great channel, I’ve already subscribed and plan on diving in to your content.
Thank you.
MICK In Des Moines IOWA
Hey Mick! Appreciate you being here with us--hope this helps!
Your video just came up in my feed. I play and practice here!!! I was just here today. Great video:)
:) Nice Ed!! Hope this one serves you well my friend!
I watched this yesterday, tried it at the range today and had remarkable results, thank you!
Great to hear!
Love this Drill Eric. Will be doing this tonight when I get home.
Let me know how it works for ya!
Nice drill Eric. Can't wait to try it out.
Thank Mikey!
Can't wait to try this drill in the next few days in my garage and at the range. I have lost distance as I get older and I think I am guilty of "the fake follow through" that Eric mentions. THANK YOU and I look forward to getting some distance back
Hope this one serves you well my friend!
great help for weekend golfer!! thanks
Our pleasure!
Im french from Bordeaux France and it's the first time I have seen such interesting drill. I'm going to the practice to try it.
Thanks!
Bouzid
Hope it helps my friend!
Great drill, going to try this out. I've noticed a lot of times where I try to do a half swing to take a little 9 iron or wedge with a half swing and stripe it the full distance just because the contact was so good through the ball.
👊Thank you! Hope this one serves you well!
I really appreciate and enjoyed the video I will start going tovthe range and practicing this
Hope it helps, Kenneth!
This is a great drill, has definitely helped me at the range!
Love to hear this!
Excellent drill. Would try the first thing tomorrow. Thank you.
Thanks! Hope it serves you well!
Thanks for the lesson Eric! I was playing around with this today at the range and I definitely felt like I was creating more speed. Similar distance to my full backswing and striking the ball solidly for the most part. I need to spend some more time with it, but I think this will also help me free up my swing where I can sometimes start to steer the ball too much.
Our pleasure! Hope it serves you well as you continue to practice it!
This is amazing, im really struggling with my hands and pulling down at the top of the swing. Great video and simple
Thanks! Hope it helps!
@@CogornoGolf tried it today and its brilliant. thanks bud. just struggling to get my hands forward, get abit flicky!! just we keep going
This is what i’ve been lacking. Great video. Thanks
Thanks! Hope it helps!
Incredible drill, I should say so! In just one session today doing 9 holes I put this into effect without any prior practice. I have never followed through correctly in 20+years, that was until today. What a difference it makes to ball striking. I was actually told after that my swing looked elegant - what at 78-years of age? I have really learnt something great from this video. Thank you Cogorno Golf
Love to hear this!! Our pleasure!
At 50, I've just started playing, mostly trying to learn by trial and error and a few training devices I found; this is by far the best tip I've seen yet.
Hope it serves you well!
That "up and back" motion loads the stretch reflex.
This reminded me a time, many years ago, when I shortened my swing and started hitting the ball farther. I had forgotten about it as it was obscured by the giant pile I have amassed of more recent screwball swing theories.😏
100%....that stretch/shorten cycle is key!
Solid information. Definitely will give it a try !
Thanks! Hope this one helps your game!
BRILLIANT !!
Thank you 😊
Our pleasure---appreciate ya!
Excellent Eric! I've got a fake follow thru as you say, should also really help with the driver. Thanks for the tip
Lets get rid of that fake follow through and put some speed all the way through to the finish!
What a great training video. I think that I have a good back swing but I have lacked the solid follow though for a complete swing.
Thanks! Hope it helps your game my friend!
Very helpful, Great insight
Thanks Frank!
Slight up and back? Eric, that IS my full backswing! Can't wait to try this, thanks!
Hope it helps your game!
Came from Ave golfer channel, never subbed so fast in my life! Great tip!
:) Appreciate the support!
It works! My problem aways has been the up swing. Hopefully after some prakticing that belongs to the past. Thanks you very much.
You got it Seth! Love to hear that!
I love it you also show how not to in most backgrounds of your videos.
Merci pour ce cours très intéressant Éric !
Our pleasure!
Makes sense!
Good lesson!
Old Guy (me) loves it!
Thanks Robert!
This is a great practise for Seniors not finishing their follow through. Excellent!!!
Thank you!
After a short time practicing this drill I definitely haven’t felt this feeling in my normal swing . Also I really feel the muscle working in my lower right back/side area, which I’ve never felt activating before either
Hope it serves your game well!
actually a good detailed instruction. was doing this 1 month ago and was hitting my p wedge the same distance as normal 130yds at sea level ,but crisp with my old draw i always had. Just an fyi 67yr old turning 68 in one month . i'm back baby lol.Going back down to a 2 hcp hate being at 6 and not breaking 80 very often. when 78 was a bad round and average was 74-76.
Lol love it Denis!
Thank you. This is a very useful drill for me. I feel like I'm at the top end of my distance at the moment I can hit it straight but not far especially in my long irons. Very frustrating.
Hope this video helps my friend!
@@CogornoGolfI actually combined these drills with the pizza slice video you have. Going to hit the range over the weekend and see if it helps
I’m going to the range and try this right now! What a great visual!
Hope it helps! Thanks for watching!
A scratch golfer buddy of mine showed me this sequence a while back of having the lower body start the downswing as the hands are still completing the backswing. This all makes sense and is a huge game-changer!
Yessir!
Eric, great drill. Needed this drill
Thank you! Hope it serves you well!
Love the drill! I will try it at the range!
Hope it helps ya!
This is one of my fave drills!!
:)
Also helps promote just Really following through with the whole swing. I do at the range but on the course I tend to not finish my swing. I feel this drill will ingrain finishing tall on my front Left foot. Thanks!
Our pleasure! Hope this one helps your game!
What a great tip, an easy 3 step on getting a crisp compressed swing
Thanks Bob!
I’m an older lady beginner. I love this as I’m getting a good shape on my backswing and a nice feel of the clubhead but I know I’m finishing the swing at the ball with no real follow through Yup manufactured follow through!!! I’m lucky even though I’m old I have good rotation of the hips from dressage riding. This is my new drill!!!! I’ve increased my ball speed by 30kph but only getting about 10 meters out of it. I hit extremely high with little carry - I think this might really help ⛳️🥂😎
👊Hope this one serves you well, Beth!
I don't play much at all these days, and honestly don't have any aspirations of ever getting to sub-80 guy (which is what I once really wanted to be), but any time I am able to get a little practice in with some of Eric's ideas, I ALWAYS hit the ball better, which makes even a few rounds a year more enjoyable. Maybe one day I will actually get to commit some time to my game again, but until then, getting great foundational tips like this really helps me play better and have more fun.
Appreciate you leaving that note and love to hear they help! I hope you continue to enjoy the game!
Great drill. Can’t wait to try this at the range.
Hope it helps, Shawn!
Ty Eric, I love this!!
Our pleasure! Hope it helps your game!
Great video! Maybe part 2 would be using this technique with the driver. Guessing there may be some subtle differences?
Thanks!
I would stick to this with an iron....specifically practicing with something like a 9,8,7 iron.
I wouldn't practice with driver with this BUT you CAN use the same FEELS and see if that helps
thanks. it's very cool technique.
Our pleasure! Good one for more distance!
Great drill and explanation!
Thank you!
Love your tips very helpful
Glad to hear it, Terry!👊
Great video. Your left knee does an external rotation which helps get your weight left. Works for me. Thanks
👊
Thanks Steve!
Game changing drill/feel. My pitching wedge went from 125 yards to 145 yards after one day of focusing on this drill.
Love to hear this!
nice one and I'll use that drill for any iron shot. Bonus is it should also keep you leaning forward and simplifying your swing tempo.
Thanks! Hope it serves you well!
