You two are the only two You Tube instructors I would ever recommend. Complete, concise, well explained.
Thanks, Tom! Appreciate the kind words and you being with us!
Forearm rotation or rolling is absolute death to an amateur golfer. It takes years, 8 hours a day to get the timing. Forget it. This video is absolutely spot-on in its simplicity and instruction on how to eliminate the need for world class timing. It sets the hands correctly from the start and through the finish. Awesome!
Appreciate it! Mike is great!
@@CogornoGolf You rock as well, brother!
This is so good. Every golfers should watch this
Thanks for watching my friend!
Cogorno Golf and Mike Malaska have saved my swing and my sanity. Without these hand wrist videos, I was not getting it.
Happy to hear it Steve!!
Mike Malaska in my opinion is the best instructor to simplify the golf swing. This simple hand movement lowered my ball flight and help me stop scooping the ball. Add his instruction on pushing the left hip out of the way to create hip rotation is awesome. For years I use to over rotate my club face and was difficult to get the timing right. Thanks Mike and Eric. Great stuff...
Love it! He is great!
This is the best video that I seen ! I have been trying to find and understand the right hand and thank you for the video ! Mr. Malaska explained so well to understand .! Thank you !
Thank you, Vinh! Our pleasure!
Best video on the internet about the workings of the wrist and hands!!!
The two people that taught me to understand the golf swing. What the Right hand & wrist should do is the most important lesson in golf.
Love it! Thanks for being with us, Paul!
Eric, Mike’s explanation of what the right hand does in the swing was by far an an eye-opening instruction. I’ve been forcing my right palm to continue to face the sky from the top of the downswing through the impact zone. WRONG! I give Mike a 10 on this one! Pete
Thanks, Pete! Mike is awesome!
This four part series with Eric and Mike are the best and easiest to follow videos I've ever seen. I went to the local park yesterday and went through these exercises and it totally works. Trust me!
Excellent! Glad to hear that!!
It's unbelievable how simple this method is. I don't know what I've been doing for twenty five years of bad golf. I now hit it nice and straight without much thought.
Awesome to hear Eric!👊
Eric I hear you discussing things with Mike and I got to tell you you are not second to Mike your a great teacher yourself thank you
Appreciate the kind words, Rick! Doing our best!
Went out and played late twilight today your tips are helping seem to be getting extra distance with driver hitting everything straighter
Awesome!
Best teaching duo on youtube bar none. This video with Mike and the other one with the how hips work during downswing has helped me fix my two biggest issues. Slices and topping the ball. My dad's golfing buddies and even random people at the range say I swing way to hard. And it's true I swing almost 90-100% every time (except wedges) but I always felt deep down I was never "out of control" during my swings. The concept of rolling your wrist at impact on a golf swing is the same concept of rolling your wrist during a baseball swing. IT'S A BIG NO NO. You absolutely do not want to roll your wrist during a baseball swing at impact. As it makes you hit groundballs instead of driving through the ball and hitting doubles in the gap or crushing home runs. It never occurred to me that I was rolling my wrist on impact so much which caused me to slice and top the ball every so often.
Even though my swing isn't anywhere close where I want it to be. It's exponentially heading in the right direction because of this ah-ha moment/video. Now I can still drive 300+ yards without swinging slower and feeling all out of tempo. For reals best instructors on youtube bar none!!
Love it! Appreciate the kind words and support, David!
Malaska took my handicap down to a 4-6. Was stuck at 14-18 for over 20 years. He's the MAN. best investment I've ever made in golf was subscribing to his website. Keep it up MM!
Love to hear that! He's great!!
@@CogornoGolf credit to you for doing videos with Malaska. Will be watching/following both of you.
Eric, all of your videos and your channel are second to none. The new series of videos you’ve been putting out....for free, are Golf Gold man. Your channel and videos have changed my game. Thank you sir. I’ll be making it out to Bethlehem PA for sure. Cheers
Thanks, Scott! Appreciate the kind words....would love to have you whenever we open back up!
Thanks for being with us!
Mike M. IS THE GREATEST TEACHER I HAVE EVER SEEN.
He's great!
Can't believe how long I have searched for an explanation of how the wrist should move. I have always felt more comfortable the way Mike Malaska described but aways strived to do it the opposite way. Not any more. Thanks for the great tip.
thanks for being with us, Tony!
At the very top of Mike’s downswing note his trail hand first un cocking; not unbending
No forearm rotation in my swing anymore. I absolutely love the speed, consistency, ease, and accuracy in my’Trail Hand Karate Chop, Vertical Drop Side Bend, Downswing’. All done in one smooth and simple swing; similar what Tom Tomasello taught years ago. Cheers
Awesome!
You guys are continuing to make this easy enough for an idiot like me to understand.
I have ALWAYS had an out-to-in path, and have been working for the last year to "shallow" the club on the downswing. And like Mike shows, I end up with my right palm facing the sky a clubface wide open. Time to just concentrate on face-to-path. And getting that left hip out of the way.
Haha thanks Joe! Appreciate you being here with us!
My two idols in the world of golfing lessons. What a collaboration!!!
:) Thanks for being with us my friend!
Two great instructors. I follow both these guys a lot. Very informative and concise.
Thanks for the support, Richard!
Catching up late with Cogorno (and now aware of Malaska) golf videos - I felt this lesson was as usual a wonderful demonstration of solid thought and method applied to an essential but often overcomplicated move, to me it painted a clear picture. A really great piece of instruction and I'm off to practice with a smile on my face, thanks so much!
Our pleasure Gerry! Appreciate you being here with us!
I spent all day practicing this and went from 140y to 165y. Thanks Eric and Mike!
Excellent! Love to hear that!
9 Iron?
You two are the best 🏌🏻♂️
Appreciate it!
It is so refreshing to see someone with your caliber of knowledge, to be humble enough to listen to Mike Malaska. I am going to subscribe to your channel now and probably sign up for some lessons with you. Nice going Eric!
Appreciate it my friend! Fortunate to spend time over the winter with a lot of great coaches and I learned from all of them!
i would consider myself someone with a decent amount of knowledge of the golf swing. aftee seeing this video is just mindblowing. this video is pure gold.
Hope it helps my friend!
Really appreciate videos like this with a leading synapses of explanation, for the times when I can’t sit through the entire length of the video! Thank you.
Hope it helps my friend!
One of the best explained video I've seen makes the swing look alot more easier.
:)
Brilliant video. Absolutely love this. I’m actually working in this exact move with my right hand and I can honestly say that I’m compressing my irons FAR better and I’m way more consistent.👏🏻👌🏻
Love it!
Mike Malaska has just helped me so much over these past 2 videos. Great videos
Love it, Jamie! He's great!
I started off with Jim hardy 15 years ago as the industry taught like Mike said roll release and being new golfer was hopeless at it, so I adopted jim hardy teaching and had instant success 15y ago and never had roll release and I've got to level that I'm happy and can enjoy playing
Love to hear that Andy!
Man these videos keep getting better and better. Keep em coming
Thanks, Stephen!
its a pleasure to be able to learn this kind of stuff for free considering both of you have dedicated your lives to golf and teaching. great vid great vid
Thanks, Charlie!
Thanks Eric another amazing video with Master Mike, it always starts with grip. I like his suggestion of using right hand throw motion with ensuring a square face in downswing . It appears it would be more consistent then rolling over hands and forearms in a particular a 63 yr old senior golfer like myself.👍👏
Thanks, Anthony! Hope it helps my friend and glad you enjoyed!
Phenomenal video. My mind is blown that you two guys are collaborating. It’s awesome. Eric, keep up the great work. Your passion for learning and teaching is appreciated.
James Greer Same here! I narrowed my golf lesson viewing to two coaches, Eric and Mike. And here they are together 🤗
Señor Queso -Richy Cuevas That’s too funny because I’ve done the same thing.
Appreciate it guys! Really fun for us to work with Mike....he's great! Appreciate the kind words and thanks for being with us :)
Ditto....Eric and MM are the best!!
My mind is blown! A few months ago I narrowed my viewership to two coaches, Mike and Eric. I feel I have made the right choice. Mike has been places...and Eric is right behind him. Congratulations to both. Your lessons are invaluable.
Pumped to see these. I just got a lesson after playing the best round of my life and he said my club face was closed at parallel. I couldn’t hit the ball after he told me to hit it the other way. So happy to see this. Sticking with the takeaway and face rotation in this video!
:)
Hi Eric, ive been studying this for abt 1 year and now its paying off! More consistent compressing flying high straight balls. hitting 150-170yrds with my 9iron!
Love it!
Ericc, Mike is a great teacher and theses couple of videos are EXCELLENT, thanks for doing it. I have been following you and working on my "rotation" with some success but this explanation brings it all together. I wish i would have seen it 2 years ago.
He is great for sure! Great guy! Appreciate you being with us!
Fantastic installment here! I actually put the clubface facing the ball on my backswing by accident the other day. I was trying to fix the plane of my backswing because I usually bring it too far inside, hitch a little at the top and then come over the top a bit on my downswing. I think part of the reason why is due to the toe-up position when the left arm gets to parallel. It causes me to rotate too much and I bring the club inside. Having the clubface pointed at the ball more on the takeaway fixes that. Sweet! Now time to practice it!
:)
@@CogornoGolf and if you're at the Bethlehem Country Club in northern NH well I live in southern NH. Small world.....
Here in ontario we cant even go to a park. So missing the beauty of golf beyond the game. People please stay the course and wait this out.
We are all on lockdown at well! Hope you are well...stay safe!
I’m subscribed to both of you guys. You did a mighty fine job of pulling explanations out of Mike. Great videos you guys did together!!
Thanks, Trey! Appreciate you being with us my friend!
Wow! Absolute classic! I love the video. You and Mike should do more videos together. The golf swing is explained in simple, less technical, way.
Thanks, Vincent! We would love to....awesome time for us! We have 1-2 more I believe and hopefully more collars in the future!
Fantastic teaching Eric. I can’t wait to get back to working on my game and this will help me get rid of that flip action. That flip has been something I was taught back in the late 80s. Thanks for bringing Mike along to add another way of explaining this.
For now I’m going to go hit some wiffle balls in the back yard. :0(
Thanks, Chris! Hope you are staying safe and sane! Whiffle balls work just fine! Just make sure good video or training aid feedback! 20-30 per day
What a great video. Makes so much sense and communicated in an easy to understand way.
Appreciate it!
Phenomenal content A+++++
So simple & repeatable
Thanks so much!
yeah this is the most amazing golf instruction
:)
Mike is clearly correct about releasing the club through impact without twisting the face. One thing I would add - the right hand grip can't be strong (that is right hand under the grip with V pointed outside right shoulder). A neutral right hand and neutral left hand grip is a must to release the club the way mike advocates.
Thanks for the feedback, Mario!
Great video. Oddly enough I came upon this method on my own by accident. I was trying to roll my wrist/forearms and was all over the place. Once I started keeping my right wrist in the method like this video I hit it straight down the middle. It works!
Love it!
Eric I’m glad you hooked up with Mike!!
Us too :)
If you're standing more upright, the rolling forearms have a lower rate of closure and release can be more effective. But overall, what Mike is teaching is unbelievably better. More reliable and gives you plenty of power.
Mike is great!
I've been playing for over 30 years and think I was using the right hand correctly when I first started out. Then, the more technical I got, the weaker my grip became and the worse I got over time. I started doing all the bad stuff Mike is talking about. Thanks for posting this. I'll try this, it has to work.
Hope it helps my friend!
I was just like Mike in that teachers told me to roll the face and should see the knuckles at impact. I have been working on less hands and driving the left heel into the ground and now my slow motion shows the face "closed" on backswing and downswing just like this video shows. But, I am now hitting the ball more consistent and able to control high, low, draw, fade on command using this technique.
Glad you got it sorted, Ross!
Damn Eric I hope RUclips pays you lots of money off this video because it's worth its weight in gold. Good Job Boss
Thank you :)
More videos with Mike. We beg of you!!!! Well, I do anyway 😜
@Keith Urien yes I totally agree!!
Haha agreed! Would love to work with Mike and Milo all the time! We have some more.....:)
Dude! This was a fantastic video! Mike is great but the two of you together... Following this advice would help SO many amateurs it's unreal. And yes I know you have umpteen videos on your channel already on the same subject, but this one was pure.
Thanks, man! Appreciate it! Really easy to work with and hang with Mike! Awesome coach and a great guy!
This video cleared up a fog that I have been fighting for years. No more toe up to toe up and wow no more hooks!
:)
@@CogornoGolf you have a lifetime subscriber here!
Fantastic video!! Towards the end of the video Mike mentioned he would take a look at the person and how their joints lined up to establish a proper grip for that individual. That seems to be the starting point of how to get this throwing release working properly. Is there anyway you guys can do an in depth video explaining how one would be able to assess themselves and finally have a grip that works the right way to implement this hand action? Thanks for your time!
Thanks! Will put it on the list!
Yes please show how to self evaluate how one’s joints line up to establish a proper grip.
This video is awesome, but so many people have incorrect grips which is probably why most rotate their forearms to begin with.
My two Favorite coach together
Thanks for being with us :)
Mike is absolutely right about shallowing the club. You DO NOT need to shallow the club on the downswing, simply come back to the ball on the same or very similar plane as your backswing, provided ofcourse you have a good backswing. If your backswing is correct i.e. quite steep, and more of a pick up then it's almost impossible to come over the top. If you need proof, go watch Louis Oosthuizen on slow motion, absolutely no shallowing on the downswing.
:)
Mike, your videos are so informative! Keep it up!
Mike is the best!
I was trying to explain this to a couple of friends, but couldn't do as well as you guys. Great job..
Thanks, Rob!
I literally got this lesson (from a very good instructor just hired at my country club) finally after 15 years of getting bad lessons. So many teachers trying to get me to rotate my forearms (toe up waist high), manipulating the club unnaturally outside on the backswing and inside on the way down, . Those devils knew I would have to come back and waste my money because I had no chance to time that up consistently.
Should be required viewing for every PGA professional.
:) Glad you are heading in the right direction, Blair!
My third time watching this video and it remains so helpful. Thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks for being with us, Bill! Our pleasure!
This was a key discovery for me
👊Thank you for watching the channel, Evan!
One of the best tips i heard in a while 👍🏻
Appreciate it!!
As Mr. Malaska and yourself have just alluded to, I think a lot of bad golf swings are a product of 'bad' instruction from 'back in the day'...
Thanks,
William
:)
Another great vid! Every golf teacher needs to getone of those big- headed clubs! Lol
When I was a member of his website, he used to be all about 'tipping out the club' on downswing. I tried that for like 6 months and I could hit some pretty good shots at times--but I generally hit it left of left!
I like this new 'low to no rotation' school of golf instruction that is emerging. I think it is reflecting some successful players and what they are doing, e.g. Dustin & Koepka. Hopefully it is better for us hacks-- I know all that forearm rotation led to a lot of ugly shots!
BTW- this video had to be pre-social distancing guidelines! Lol
Love the big red club lol.....def gotta put that on the list!
Haha yes it was from mid February......or that close talking I would not have allowed :)
Excellent , so well explained as to how the hand's should operate, great job , Thanks.
Appreciate it, Thomas! Hope it helps!
Awesome vid fellas!
Thank you sir!
Excellent Lesson, very easy to understand. A instructor told me once to feel like you are slamming a door.
Thanks, Scott!
Lots of FEELs that can work....all that matters is what you ACTUALLY DO when you feel it (as you know)
Good stuff Eric! Jim Hardy has been teaching this cocnept for years and calls it the Right Inward Throw (RIT). One of the drills I learned was using the concept you are illustrating with just the right arm/wrist hitting very short shots. It's amazing that toe up is still being taught even though it's opening the clubface to the arc.
Love it, Matt! My. Hardy is awesome!
Is the toe up concept when the shaft reaches the waist parallel to the ground still good for lob/Flop shots? thanks.
That’s an awesome release pattern. Duval, DJ and Koepka all used that to hit power fades.
Yessir!
Hi Eric really really great video. Such a valuble lesson. Thanks. Just want to say that when I take the club right wrist backwards (really right palm a lot pointed to the ground) and do 3/4 swing, the balls go amazing even the club is tilted down like you say in this video. If I take the club also right wrist backwards but not so much palm down the balls are also going amazing (the clubface is more square )...I do not like the first option but I must say wow....Would you like to comment thanks.
Thanks! It sounds like you already found your solution :)
why did I have to watch this at 1145pm? Can't wait to try it in the morning!
:)
Really good lesson. I have been looking for something to describe how the wrists work through the swing, especially as the hands pass the ball. I have also been having some questions at the game away. I keep the club closed but I was trying to do it without a relatively still wrist. This e plains what I was down my wrong.
Thanks, Paul! Hope this helps my friend!
These may help as well with regards to the wrist motions and how they depend on grip/face angle

Wow, great theory, can’t wait to get out on the range to incorporate!
Thanks, Carlos! hope it helps!
WOW Erick, congratulations, well explained. 👏👏👏
Thanks, Edwin!
Mike, please do a video on the wrist action at impact such that one does not flick their wrists excessively and add or decrease loft and resulting inconsistent flight trajectories and distance control. Tie this into controlling the momentum and proper timing through the impact area if you would. Big thanks!
Good idea!
David Glenz was teaching this 40yrs. ago. The world is finally catching up.
Awesome! Hope this helps some people play better!
Joe Dante was the pioneer , check out his book written in 1962 " the 4 magic moves to winning golf "
@@appydaze9419 as a student of the game, I actually have the book.
Fantastic stuff. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for being with us!
This is where I ended up but not very good or consistent at it. Thanks much.
Hope you get it sorted my friend!
Superb instruction thank you 👍
Appreciate it! Our pleasure!
Excellent. Thanks!
Thank you! You got it!
Like the instruction. Hinging/rotation. Seems like hinging is better that rotation because of too pronation of both wrists.?
There should be a bit of both for sure
i can add myself to the list of "victims" of that "rotating arms" BS. i got back to this method and it saved me. i think that is why i identified with MM so well. the two of you are a great team!
:-)
Thank you sir!
Great to see two of my faves working together. I really think Mike is on to something with his views on face control.
He's great!
Yeah, Mike probably is onto something having gone through so much in his professional career and having won national PGA teacher of the year. 😁
Keeping it simple, love it!!!!
Thanks, Bill! Mike is so good at presenting info very easy to understand!
Eric, another question.....Does the right arm (wrist) take control of the backswing by performing the backswing, hold at the top and swing the club through impact and the left arm controls post-impact? Pete
I would like it to be that easy but the reality is both are involved...
More info on each here

thanks, Matt!
Great information
Thanks, David!
Another excellent video Eric. Thanks a lot again! Great job :-)
Appreciate it!
@@CogornoGolf I think some aerial view instruction videos would be great to have.
agreed!
@@CogornoGolf It would be great to know what "takeaway" thoughts you have in order to keep the correct swing path. This from the view you have yourself. I think it's quite difficult to reproduce instructions taken from a down the line and front view.
I totally agree with this for a certain type of shot. I call this my flick swing but if I really want to kill a driver I go for more of a chop feeling with my right arm in the downswing. More like the skipping a rock, hatchet, chop feel with a powerful hip click- as if my right palm would be facing a camera in the face on view. Am I off or is this for more of a neutral hinge trap/cover sort of feel? In other words this feels like an UNHINGING(flexion/extension within reason of course) move and the other feels like UNCOCKING(radial/ulnar). Is this feeling to keep it simple for people? Btw that contraption for wrist motion is pure genius!!! Love this content!!!! I have not included "rolling" in this discussion for a reason(it's a different topic altogether).
Hey Jacob!
Unfortunately as you know thats simply an impossible question for me to answer......I would have to see your swing. IS what you're feeling what you are really doing? How much are you doing it? When exactly is it happening? What other variables to you have in your swing?
Sounds like you have a good understanding of things so Im sure you will get it sorted!
@@CogornoGolf 😆 good point! I guess what I am thinking of is your video about the right shoulder. Passive release and right arm move. They are more of a right arm underneath/chop sort of feel with more turn. Mike seems to describe more flexion/extension in this video(with other moving parts) with his wrist device. In the passive release video is that more radial/ulnar or roll. It's not about my swing personally. Just the concept because I can't seem to reconcile those 2 things.
ruclips.net/video/XiGbh1SyBXY/видео.html
ruclips.net/video/TtRDa3s7Bwo/видео.html
Would these be different release patterns? Slap hinge vs uncocking or something like that?

@@CogornoGolf thanks so much for the replies. I will check it out.
As always great content.
Thank you!
Another gread video! Im guilty of the wrist turn as so many have teached.. it makes total sence that thats kind of a jeapordy way of using the wrists due to timing! Im going to the range today and going to try focusing on the wrist movement in the right arm!
Excellent! Thanks for the kind words....hope it helps!
Eric Cogorno Golf It sure helped! It first felt strange, but then it felt like I got more solid contact. Couldnt keep the ball speed, but still I got longer average carry. Meaning I got a better smash-factor. I just think I need to be more comfortable with the changes to ump up the ball speed. Even my previous slices started fading and it was easier to keep a straight ballflight! My practice drill today was to start with quarter swings, just focusig on wrist and checking clubface. Then I gradually went up to full swing. Whenever I felt I lost controll I started over with quarter swings. Really fun and an eye opener! Thanks again!
Throwing with the right hand to accelerate the club head will blow Hogan's bowed left wrist out of the water. Unless it happens after impact which brings in timing issues. I would also have liked you to have grabbed Mike's right forearm to demonstrate there was no forearm rotation in backswing. I think it is difficult to get a neutral face at top without any forearm rotation. I agree with the club shallowing angle especially wrt the A swing. There is a huge plane shift as you start down with the left palm moving groundwards only to have to abruptly reverse direction to square up club face into impact.
"Throwing with the right hand to accelerate the club head will blow Hogan's bowed left wrist out of the water."
Well....you have to remember there are different release styles based on clubface and grip. Hogan had a WEAKer grip pattern and less turn down clubface...
So OF COURSE he needed more supination and flexion in lead wrist
If you have stronger grip or face more tilted down no need for as much flexion or supination
I talk about that more thoroughly below:

ruclips.net/video/lxyLhDS_UrM/видео.html
ruclips.net/video/8Cg2O8atmYY/видео.html
hope that helps
great video, thanks!! that clears many things and to some extent explains my shank too ( am I right??). The problem we all face now is to get out and practice..
Hope you are staying safe and sane....thanks for being with us!
This is so good. I was really struggling to get my clubhead square and thought it was my release when in fact it was forearm rotation that was making it really hard for me to time things up. After removing my forearm rotation, it is amazing how much better I am striking the ball.
Love to hear that, Mike! Don't love that cowboys pic but I got love for ya either way :)
The right wrist movement through impact doesn’t seem to match previous discussions I’ve seen. Could totally be misunderstanding but wouldn’t the right wrist moving to flexion post impact cause the left wrist to cup, thus flipping club and the club head passing the handle, adding loft, etc.?
Hey Jake!
No....not if its happening AFTER impact its not a flip, cup, etc. Thats only a problem if it happens too EARLY ....BEFORE...impact.
EVERYONE throws.....everyone. Its not IF.......its.....WHEN.
Hi if you are double plain player with a upright swing rotating your hands at the point of contact isn’t it a must
