Each of EC’s videos is a light bulb moment for me. I don’t know whether it shows how little I know or how good this man can really explain and teach. I reckon it’s the latter :)
:) Appreciate you being with us!
Yep, I finally understand where the hip rotation starts in the down swing. Thank you brother. Chest down, right shoulder right hip.
You got it my friend!
Thank you so much! I was hitting the irons different than the driver and I was putting those moves in on the driver. Can’t wait to go to the range. Thank you again my friend.
Our pleasure, Mark! Hope your practice goes great!
This is the exact video I needed. I have been aware of my early extension for at least 5 years now but absolutely nothing I did would eliminate it. Finally this week I realized the “feel” i need on the downswing is to have zero lateral moment toward the target in the downswing and only “feel” pure rotation. I filmed my swing and it is the first time EVER I was able to maintain my tush line. However, the club is steepening a bit because I don’t have the EE to shallow it. This is what I need to work on. Thanks Eric!
Glad to hear that my friend!
WOW what a wonderful insight on how to begin the down swing- forward flex combined with right side bend and shallowing of shaft. Great stuff.Puts you in a great delivery position with arms at four o'cklock
Yessir! Thank you, Harold!
Another amazing video. Keep them coming for 2021! This explained concepts no previous instructor ever even discussed with me.
Thanks, Matt! Will do our best :)
Another fantastic vid! Thank you Eric!
Thank you Peter!
You are amazing Eric. Getting this for free is insane but I’m sure lots of us will sign up on your website 👌
:) Thanks man!
this is the most important piece of the swing, bravo!
Its big part!
Took this feel To the range today after not having hit a ball for three weeks and was carrying my 8 iron 150 yards in pretty freezing conditions here in the uk. Felt really uncomplicated and it seemed like as the right shoulder gets closer to the ball, the hips respond and open rather than as a conscious deliberate action. Also felt like my hands /club were Leavers just catching up and releasing for the sweet contact. Really happy with this Eric. Great lesson Happy new year
Love it! Thank you...same to you and yours!
The surely brilliant golf down swing instructor,thanks for your excellent golf tip vid,>.
Thanks, Philip!
I have never taken divots, and now I know why. Thanks, Eric!
:) You got it, Bob!
I really like the integration of the tour swings at the different points to help illustrate your points 👍
Thanks, John!
But
Brilliant video, thanks Mike. Key points simplified, love it
Thanks, Benjamin!
So impressive. Kudos to you Eric
Thanks man!
@@CogornoGolf Thanks are mine to you , so important will change ANYONES golf
early extension is something im working on and its so effing difficult, i will try these drills and see if they help. thanks!!
Find a good coach to work with in person or on line
Really good video! Clearly explains something I'm missing in my move.
Appreciate it, Todd!
Best vid ever on first move. Awesome
Thanks, Mark!
Good explanation, I understand you wanted to talk about upper. I wish you would of incorporated the squat move into this I think this would make this a lot more easier to understand what should happen. Looking at the pros they all squat first then the rest of the movements fall inline. I can see folks trying to bend forward and lean back without thinking about the squat which would make this less complicated. Thanks for all the great videos. I trust you teachings.
Thanks, Kevin!
That's exactly right...they do increase leg flex (squat)
This one we decided to start with upper body
Heres some on the lower body:

Great video Eric
Thanks, Philip!
Love this drill Eric, I just need to work on low point because I seem to become sir chunks a lot when I bend forward too much.
Shorter trail arm and wrist and make sure ribcage is open enough
ruclips.net/video/Lbluc0YCwlE/видео.html
@@CogornoGolf Eric, thank you for the video link...great info and I’ll be putting it to work. Looking forward to more and better compression.
This was an outstanding video Eric. I always thought the pros achieved lowering with knee bend. Happy new year.
Hey Mike!
Yes they do it through knee bend and the upper body moves
The only way to 'lower' is to get the lead hip out the way, i.e moving back/ away from the ball. Focusing on getting the hip back automatically results in the desired outcome spoken of in this vid.
Awesome! Thats part of it for sure. The legs reflexing being the main component that changes the tilt of the pelvis and overall height....more on that coming soon
After hitting about 200 balls working on the rotation of the right cage I realized that Scott and Rory drop on the downswing isn’t from a squatting motion but is a result of driving the right knee forward toward the ball resulting in what appears to be squatting motion. Do you agree.
Hey Thomas!
IT comes from re flexing (bending) the legs, re flexing the pelvis and torso.
great video. Very well explained. I makes complete sense, but please fix the mic. So very scratchy. It kinda makes me jump when it happens.
Thanks!
Sorry about that!
Very good explanation!
Thanks, Michael!
You need to discuss the way you must change the way you typically swing your right hand.
If you cover the ball with your chest and a Right Side bend, you must keep your right arm bent 90 degrees until impact.
You must delay releasing it. As you rotate the torso through.
Otherwise you will hit fat shots all day long.
Yessir! Did video on that specifically here
ruclips.net/video/Lbluc0YCwlE/видео.html
It is easier said than done!
Lol for sure....everything worthwhile is :)
Awesome lesson!
Thanks, Jason!
i have the shoulder to hip down. to a fault! but maybe that's cuz i don't get the chest down? i know i hit my best shots when i keep trail leg flexed. i hit thin shots when it extends. but in either case my clubhead is going st8 to right field i think bcuz of the shoulder to hip move.
Could be....but you can over do anything! Some is good..too much not good!
Another great lesson - thanks and Happy New Year👍
thanks, Gerry!
Thanks Eric ! But I’m wondering If I plan to exaggerate chest bending forward and right lateral bending (with forward pressure movement ) I need to exaggerate also wrist angles to avoid hitting ground with the shaft ? Happy new year and a lot of success !!
Thats correct.
Bend the trail arm and wrist more (which is what great ball strikers do :) )
Here is that info: ruclips.net/video/Lbluc0YCwlE/видео.html
It looks like much of the lowering is due to a bending or squatting of the knees
Yes, Mike. You're right. Lowering of the pelvis is what brings the upper body down. They do not do this by getting changing spine angle.
Hey Mike!
Thats correct! As you can see from the 7:05-7:15 mark I explained they also lower from legs changing flex but this video was focused on upper body.
@@chaseblossom1263 It is both, Chase.
Great video! I’d love to see another video showing what the lower body does
Wondering if you can help we with this. I've always early extended and flipped the club. I'm now able to stay in my posture and shallow the club with open hips, but near impact my left hip feels like it gets caught or stuck in the socket. If I force my hips more open the hip has a grinding pop and can freely move from there. Does this mean I'm in a wrong position, or might it be something else you might not be able to answer such as a rotational stability issue with my hip? When both my legs are bent with open hips, the pop comes when I straighten my left leg from there.
Hey Tyler!
I would need to see to say for sure as I'm making a bunch of guesses and assumptions here.
It sounds like you might need more of the slide part as you're turning and extending.

Eric, so you rotate with the right side bend? How does the right elbow pass in front if it comes into your side? Is it once again the rotation that takes the elbow & the right side together?
Thank you.
Peter
Hey Peter!
Yes---you side bend and rotate.
The right arm DOES get in front from adduction and internal/external rotation
Excuse the mic bumps in this vid but I explain it in thorough detail here:
ruclips.net/video/CxzVIm8PInE/видео.html
@@CogornoGolf thank you.
@@CogornoGolf Eric, I assume you answer all questions. If so, I would like to send you a cash tip. I will send to the address in your site. Thanks for all your instruction
Hi Eric, great video. Is this move exaggerated more with the longer clubs like driver 3 wood etc compared to say wedge?
LESS forward bend with longer clubs but MORE right send bend/extension with driver (head more back)
ruclips.net/video/TJtx-qVSgVU/видео.html
ruclips.net/video/ZJVFFIGa0f4/видео.html
If I follow your recommendations then I will not be able to start swinging from the top. It will be about how I use my body to get into position to strike the ball.
Thanks for your feedback, Frank!
Eric, one thing I want to mention that I ran into when trying to add right side bend into my swing is getting stuck and actually caused a slide with the right shoulder too far back and actually some back pain. It took me a long time to figure out what was causing this, would be interested on your thoughts.
While this is my specific case/feels vs reals, when I just felt my hips and shoulders rotating on the same plane, but hips starting to rotate first, it caused a more natural right side bend.
Hey Tj!
Yeah man it just sounds like you may have over done it....
You can over do anything.
To off set the right side bend you want to keep the left side of pelvis lower longer....
Combine those two and you will be centered and good
If you right side bend too much and left hip goes too far up as well then you get stuck...too much tilt and not enough turn
This would be good drill to neutralize that

ruclips.net/video/RmloegfB6Fw/видео.html
@@CogornoGolf awesome, thanks Eric!
Not to overly simplify but is the whole idea behind this to just think of hitting down on the ball while turning through? The lowering stuff should just happen naturally then?
Hey!
Sure! "Naturally" is great if it happens without conscious thought....but usually it does not.
To make something happen usually you have to......make something happen.
Great video. Question. If I have a downswing that's too steep, I like the idea of feeling like it comes from 4 o'clock. Does that mean if I have a takeaway that's too shallow, I should feel it at 2 o'clock on the way back to exaggerate? Thanks!
That's exactly correct!

Downswing
ruclips.net/video/PjUCfzMmM48/видео.html
ruclips.net/video/jI5TRIbVuAY/видео.html
My issue is 2nd part, getting my right side elbow close into the hip and making sure the swing path is slightly inside the plane. I tend to go over the top :(
Hope you get it sorted my friend!
Have a good drill for that coming out soon!
Hi Eric
Great video. Where do the legs come in?
Hey!
Heres a video on how the lower body works to start the downswing
ruclips.net/video/jN64PgWhca8/видео.html
Hey Eric, so by tucking that trailing elbow in wouldn’t that shallow the club also? As always great information
Hey John!
Yes-external rotation will also be a piece that shallows the shaft
ruclips.net/video/OJppwDGvhmY/видео.html
Forwardbend makes one move through the Wall with the head i guess? I have a tendency to drop a bit to much in hight but main issue is braking the wall. How to counter the forward movement of upper body when increasing forward bend?
Hey Johnny!
You counter it with depth of the pelvis.
@@CogornoGolf check and thx Eric! 👍
Bdw would you say that there should be more forwardbend during downswing compared to at setup?
When left arm is parallel to ground in downswing yes.....but not much.
they barely shallow the club in comparison to their hands. they move along a 3-dimensional circle, so they don’t lower their head, their body is on a path backwards-forwards.
Thanks for your feedback, Marc!
@@CogornoGolf Hi, i read my comment back and it sounds a bit ungratefull. Thnx for showing the stuff so clearly and giving your words to it, mine are a bit different because my feel is my feel. So again, thnx!
@@CogornoGolf when you say the club moves backwards, if you uncock your wrists at top of the backswing the clubhead should be on plane with the hands and ball (even though it "moves away"). Try doing it in front of you; splitting your midline with a vertical downward swing. Yes the clubhead moves away (as the system unfolds) but it's still on plane.
Thanks Eric! I’ve always found this move so difficult because it feels as though I’m going to hit a foot behind the ball. I try combat that by increasing shaft lean. Any other suggestions?
Feel like your pushing back up off the ground aswell through the ball. Feels like you are hitting up on the ball but you will still compress it.
1. Make sure you have enough chest/ribcage rotation
2. Shorten (bend/flex) your trail arm and extend your trail wrist (bend your right arm more and right wrist more bent back)

@@CogornoGolf thank you!
Eric quick question. I have a tendency to get steep, but it happens later in the downswing, after P5. It looks like my hands go in and club head kicks out. Would you know what might be causing that?
Hey Taylor!
I could think of 5-10 things. I would need to see your swing or I would be guessing...feel free to join www.cogornogolf.com and send me your swings so I can give you a good answer
Everything is correct..but if u don’t rotate your hips..it’s over extension.
Have to rotate, tilt and extend. The amounts and timing are of course important
What is the phrase mean hands in club head out? Can you demonstrate
Here ya go

ruclips.net/video/duYq3rjQ8bg/видео.html
Don't you feel that this is more the body's result of trying to create torque with the hips?
Lots of it is due to pelvis/feet for sure! Separate video!
Eric, I find it easier to go down if I start with a taller address position. Make sense?
yes
Good Good!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks!
Tremendous
Thanks, Martin!
When I look at this the first thing I think of is CHARLES BARKLEY trying to COVER/SMOTHER the ball in his swing. Poor Sir Charles! Why couldn't SOMEBODY teach him how to do this!
:)
Gary V Charles does but stops .
You were not bending your right leg as much as Rory or Adam as they start the downswing
Thanks for the feedback, Thomas!
Need to sort your sound
Agreed...sorry about that Tony, my fault!
@@CogornoGolf no worries thought I’d let you know
Eric way too much info for what happens naturally eg a basball player loaded waiting for pitcher, naturally unloads with fast hips wipping bat thru to ball. Drill load up like basball player, hold then unload to ball.
Thanks for your feedback, Laurie!
