Get your "Chest DOWN to FIND THE GROUND" - Comment and Like this video if it helped you play better golf and have more fun. Thanks for a fun episode Eric!
Yep and thanks for the great videos!. I have been working on engraining this into my swing for a while now and it's feeling more natural the more I play.
Very grateful to have Tom as my coach. I had planned to give up the game until I came across his “everyone tilts” video. The rest is history! He’s guided me since April 2021. I’m shooting in the low 80s. Also, Eric your video of feeling like you are sitting in a chair to start downswing was very helpful. It’s helping my early extension. You guys are great. Congratulations on your success.
Do you happen to have the link to the “sitting in the chair” video? I have found to keep my chest down my backside also needs to go away from the ball and forward during the swing through. At first it felt really odd like I was sticking my butt way out but on video it looked perfect and I had a ton of room for my right elbow to clear my hips.
Tom has done miracles to my game. I was in the wilderness for over 20 years but when I found Tom on RUclips, within a couple of months went from no handicap to 20. Such simple thoughts that even I could understand.
You shouldn't actually get closer to ground. Draw a circle around head at setup...stay in it....we are exaggerating here with the lowering. Just to keep your head in circle you have to FEEL chest and lead shoulder down
Eric, loved your videos. Quick question. Chest to the ground during the backswing. What about extension in the backswing? How do you reconcile these two thoughts and movement patterns? Thanks!
Hey Greg! Yeah its more like LEFT SHOULDER to the ground (down and back) Chest points directly away from target (about level to the ground) Goal to keep head in the circle it started......to do that your lead shoulder goes down and back (tilt and turn) and chest pointing straight behind you roughly level to the ground (turn and extension) Chest down in this video is more inclination to the ground.....like if your torso starts 4 feet from the ground KEEP it that way This is prob a better way to say it/look at it here: ruclips.net/video/EUZNF2MD0uc/видео.html
@@CogornoGolf Hi Eric: Thanks so much for your Quick response! You are one of the few instructors on here that responds to most questions from us weekend warriors! I had signed up for a free lesson from you a few years ago, but can't locate it. What app or site would you have responded? Thanks so much! Greg
Hey Greg! My pleasure---honestly I have no idea lol----do you remember where you signed up/did it? Any time we do a free lesson for something like www.cogornogolf.com you only keep access as long as you maintain membership (thats part of the deal) so odds are that bad boy is gone if you dont still have membership :)
Hi Eric, awesome that you have other people come in with their way of describing the same concepts that you teach. Shows humility on your part and it’s something that a good teacher would be open to. Some people just need to hear it differently for it to click. Great job.
I like "Crazy Tom" Saguto because he's the Paula Poundstone of golf: a screwball who makes salient points. Just for fun, and to impress Francesca Fiorentini, I'll add another tip: make sure your balls are ahead of the golf ball at impact with any iron. Just remember, "Tiene siempre le palle davante alla pallina de golf all'impato." I wrote that because Tom Saguto is obviously of Italian descent and because he's a great teacher who likes to clown around a bit to make a salient point. Plus, Francesca Fiorentini is a very sexy Italian girl who knows how to use humor to make a point. Finally, Tom & Eric are the two RUclips instructors that I pay attention to & they both have helped me with my stroke.
To varying degrees You want to replace forward bend with side bend.....so with driver you are less bent over to start....therefore you would have less tilt in backswing Sand wedge most forward bend at setup so most tilt in backswing ruclips.net/video/Z3WRJIYky10/видео.html
My hands flip but I don’t stand up, I do the opposite. I drive my head down to the ground for some reason. And yes I’m digging holes deeper than the size of my club head. I wanna quit so bad. 2 straight years of this stuff. Keep trying I guess.
Hey Shane----if you don't get it sorted consider www.cogornogolf.com you can send in your videos and we can help you there! Being able to see your swing makes it much easier for us to help!
What about the driver? That’s the club the I stand up most (not intentional) because of the longer club / more upright stance. It’s the club I have the most inconsistent contact with. Thanks!
Eric and Tom have saved my golf game. I’ve struggled with Shabks and severe slices for a few years that brought my 4 handicap game to struggling to break 100 and physically and mentally shaking over any shot in the fairway. Eric’s 15 shot program really helped me get control of my grip and the relationship to the club face and I threw a few high 70s rounds back in to my game.. Tom’s Stack and tilt program helped me “feel” where my body was supposed to be throughout the swing and that crispy contact is far more consistent now! I was turning and rotating and flipping and scooping.. these two helped me understand what I was doing wrong and now I don’t even think about my hands anymore, I WANT my ball in the fairway again and have so much Confidence with my contact and last few rounds all in the 70s! The two of you in the same video is just Awesome! Now the road From Shank to Scratch credit to these great guys!
@@boojiboy2275 well that’s not what’s written and it could have been corrected. Do you not look over what you have written? Anyways it doesn’t really matter. There seems to be a few bot like messages supporting that guy that I’ve seen in the past. And I’m not referring to Eric, he’s always been straight up. lol Not looking for an argument here, just what I’ve observed. Confused maybe, but I prefer not to elaborate.
@@nelsonjames1272 I think it must be a typo. But I will say that I played over 20 years with no handicap. I was crap but after finding Tom on RUclips, I got it down to plus 20 within a couple of months. I am certainly not a bot, just pissed off that RUclips wasn't around in its current form over 20 years ago.

It is more like forehead down to find the ground, it looks like chest down is confusing but forehead or brim of hat makes more sense
either good---thanks, Mark!

you da man, Tom! Had a blast---appreciate ya!
Been awhile seeing Tom on the channel. The hair is pure legendary!
100%!
Eric and Tom in the same Video. You made my day Eric, thanks a lot!! :-)
:) Our pleasure André!

a saguto vs cogorno 9 hole match would be a lot of fun.
make it 18........
Would be a blast!
So good to see Tom in Eric's channel. U guys have some kinda chemistry to make a golf lesson fun and easy to comprehend. Good vid!
Appreciate it, Victor!

Love to hear this!!👊
I worry when I do this that I’m getting closer to the ground and it’ll cause me to pull up when I start down. Is this wrong?
You shouldn't actually get closer to ground. Draw a circle around head at setup...stay in it....we are exaggerating here with the lowering. Just to keep your head in circle you have to FEEL chest and lead shoulder down

Appreciate the kind words, Chester! Tom is a great guy, awesome coach and a very genuine human being off camera as well!
Eric, do you apply the same method for a driver?
To varying degrees
You want to replace forward bend with side bend.....so with driver you are less bent over to start....therefore you would have less tilt in backswing
Sand wedge most forward bend at setup so most tilt in backswing

Where’s the sword?!?!?
Couldn't get it through the airport :)
@@CogornoGolf TSA said it was on their "prohibited items" list. I told them it was for "business purposes", but they wouldn't allow it as a carry on.
Lol
that hat cannot contain that hair :D

Hey, Eric--I was expecting you to use a samurai sword on Tom! Is that a wig Tom has on there? Last time I saqw Tom he had short hair!!!!
Haha he has to keep that in Myrtle! That is all natural baby :)
Such a great vlog series! Didn't think Tom's hair could get any cooler tho, I was wrong lol
Lol thanks Simon!!
What about the driver? That’s the club the I stand up most (not intentional) because of the longer club / more upright stance. It’s the club I have the most inconsistent contact with. Thanks!

Thanks Eric and Tom
You got it John!
Great simple swing thought. My fault is coming up out of my golf swing during the backswing like you demonstrated.
Thanks, Patrick! Hope it serves you well!
Tom is such a blast! And an excellent instructor! Eric, curious...you fly him in for this segment? Good job!
He's great-we had a blast!!
I found Tom’s channel yesterday and now he’s on Eric’s channel, this must be a sign.
:) Hope you enjoy the content and it helps your game Brandon!
Hi guys does this swing thought work with the driver as well obviously on a slightly different angle.
Not as much with driver...more on driver vs iron here:

Another great, clear picture of covering the ball. Bet you and Tom had a fun time! Be good, stay safe-Russ
Thank you, Russ! :)
If Felix and Oscar became golf pros!! Great job guys.
:) Thank you, Howard!
Great vid! Tom's stance/feetposition kinda hurts the eyes though.
Thank you, Marijn!

These two guys have also taken my golf game from a desert of confusion and phony swing tips to the land of milk and honey and golfing truth. 🙂
A 4 to shooting over 100 certainly is a feat in itself. Congratulations on one of the biggest bs statements I have ever heard. lol
@@nelsonjames1272 maybe it was a typo and he meant "14 handicap to shooting over 100" that's feasible.

Great video...the 2 most entertaining golf instructors on RUclips.
Thank you!! Appreciate the kind words!
Certainly one of the most critical parts of the golf swing, without it nothing else matters.
:) Thanks for watching Scott!
Love Tom member with him when I grow up want to be just like you guys lol
:) Appreciate you watching, Terry!
Tom is unique - in a good way! I’m digging what he’s saying. 👍👍
He's the best! Thanks for watching Chad!
This is great I have practiced with both of your videos.
Thank you! Appreciate your support!
Is this the same concept as “covering the ball”?
Yep!
Should you have the same feeling with the driver?
Hey Raymond not as much....driver vs iron here

He's awesome!!👊
@@CogornoGolfSays the gracious gentleman.
Class act, Eric!
I want to know what happened to all of Tom's guitar tutorials. I can't find his other channel......
Not sure! Tom is great---he is helping so many golfers I think he is putting his energy there!
