I played in my club senior championship this weekend. On Saturday I hit several fat shots that caused me to be 6 strokes behind the leader. After the round , I reviewed this video and hit the range working on weight forward and wrist angles. Sunday I shot a net 69 and won my flight. Plus I aced a par 3. Thanks for all the help.
Love to hear that! Great playing Steve and awesome on the ace!!!!
Bro just watching this vid & saw the comment - it's late but congratz! Great accomplishment
Everything you say here Eric totally works. Hard part is getting my mind and body to do all of this consistently.
Thanks, Chris! No doubt.....takes work. Me too.....no getting around that.
20-30 reps 3x/week would be minimum to start to see some nice changes
Thank you. It helped with my consistency
Great to hear! Our pleasure!
I opening video. Love the visual station. Will save this and watch before going out to his balls. Thanks again for your valuable swing training videos.
you got it, Dennis! Hope it serves you well!!
Again, love your style and explanations!!! very helpful
Thank you! Hope this one helps your game!
Ok this is the 2nd day in a row of Eric putting out a video describing my issue. The tips on moving forward causing shanks was spot on. I eliminated shanks completely but was smashing the ground about an inch or two behind the ball quite often.
Tomorrow I can use these tips and see how well I swing. I also had lost the mindset of keeping my wrist flat the first 20 minutes at the range today....so I ordered the Hanger and we'll see how that goes. First time I've ordered a training aid, but all on Eric recommendation.
Maybe I'm secretly keeping an eye on you, Chris :)
Hope the hanger helps....I love it.
If you don't get it consider trying out www.cogornogolf.com we will be launching a free 7 day trial later today so you can try it risk free and send in your videos so we can help!
Lovely demonstration of how the club hits ball first! Huge to show my students this!
Thanks, Brett!
Great instruction to remove chunking . Excellent.
Thanks, Daniel!
This helped so much today!
Love to hear this!
Excellent lesson Eric. Can we use that same drill for hybrids and fairway metals to hit off the turf? Thanks again.
100%!
Wonderfully put together.
Thanks Rick!
Excellent video - right shoulder under and forward coupled with piece one... heading to the range so I can beat my buddies!!
Thank you, Brian!! :)
Great lesson .
Thanks, Roger!
I like to close my right shoulder as you showed in another video Eric, because this helps me keep my right elbow in & prevent me from leading with my right shoulder out. This has helped me hit the ball first the majority of the time.
I like it! As with all these videos not everyone will need the same things....getting the shoulder forward to prevent the fats its important not to go OUT with it....forward and UNDER to get low point forward and keep path from inside
@@CogornoGolf Eric, can't quite visualise what right shoulder OUT would look like-I assume it's the right shoulder high in an OTT type motion?
Another great video!
Thanks, John!
Thank you!
You are welcome :)

My biggest struggle right now I got a divotboard and I was shocked how far behind the ball I am hitting on it. Real eye opener.
Hope this helps ya get ball first, Mike! How have you liked the Divotboard?
IF you continue to struggle consider checking out www.cogornogolf.com we will be launching a free 7 day trial later today so you can try it risk free and send us your videos for us to help fix!
Had my career best round by getting my weight forward and eliminating fat shots. Unfortunately the next round I fell back into hitting fat again. Working the shoulder turn and wrist angles. Thanks for the help
Congrats on the career best, Steve!👊
Was having a problem with fat shots, the other day at the range I started feeling like my right shoulder felt really high/forward. Problem solved. Almost exactly what you were teaching here. 👍
Love it Darrin!
Guys, this works. Omg. Although, a disclaimer, for right handers, get to the far right side of the driving range or one of the 3 balls might hit some one like I did. Lol. No worries, once u hit them balls once, your mind and body will try better to not hit them. I measured a wall of tees after hitting the guy and keep with the drill. Then boom, my divots moved passed the ball. It really showed me that my main issue weight transfer. I am going to work at this for the next 3 days. Thanks Eric.
Love it Joe....
But work on it for the next 300 days not 3 and we are in business :)
Looking forward to using these tips. My #1 issue is chunky/fat shots. They come off the club nice and straight but die out 20-25 yards short..hopefully I’ll be able to use my 9 iron on 130+ yards and not my 7; it’s quite demeaning sometimes.
Hope this one serves you well, Bryce!
Amazing coincidence- I have been working on this the last day and this morning and here is everything I have been thinking about. Eric, is it fair to say- you have to delay the hit. To delay means holding the clubhead off the ground which means holding onto the L (right wrist and shaft) which means the only way to get the clubhead on the ground is to drop the right shoulder- through rotation on the spine angle- as the club shaft is "shorter". If you don't move forward and drop the shoulder you have to release the L to get the club head on the ground. Dropping the shoulder means you can delay the hit.
Thats correct!!
@@CogornoGolf u
well done!
Thank you, Ray!
Eric, I'm working with Denis Sales to get my weight forward (among other things) to fix my chunking. The one thing that seems to help is to focus on creating shaft lean at impact. Is that basically what you are saying in this video when you talk about the wrist angles?
Yes! The weight forward will help move low point forward regardless of wrist angles BUT when you combine it with wrist angles thats even better.
Really we want to add as many ingredients as we can to move low point forward to increase our odds of success..
That "wall" behind the ball would be a good one for you!
@@CogornoGolf I'll try the "wall behind the ball" thing but I'm afraid that will cancel out my attempts to shallow out the club. I am more eager to try consciously rotating my right shoulder down and then forward. I can see how that would make a big difference. Love my monthly lessons. Thanks
You got it!!
I like that belt buckle into the wall visual, but that right shoulder forward move is what really hit home for me.
👊Hope this one serves your game well!
Saguto has you start with a.bit more weight fwd at address and It Works! Less weigjt transfer is better😊
All good!
hello
Thank you very much and blessings, I am a 14 handicap and this always happens to me two or three times in my round. Thanks to your video, I found out which of the three points that you explain in your tips had me ruining the game. After so many years, I finally get something that works for me, I wish you much success, thank you, thank you, Pedro, Caracas, Venezuela
I already subscribed to your channel, thank you
hello, this also applies to wood? I have the doubt, regards
Love to hear that Pedro! Glad this helped and appreciate your support!!
Same concepts for all clubs
@@CogornoGolf Hello,
I hope to tell you soon how I am doing and God bless you, for the good that you do to so many people in the world, a hug
Eric, if your getting your weight forward and keeping the wrist angles and pushing shots is it as simple as adding more forearm rotation to get the ball back online?
Hey Tim!
Hard to say for sure without seeing your swing but you can certainly give that forearm rotation a shot and see what results you get👍
Here are a couple of videos that may help!
ruclips.net/video/fCW9W_lGQtM/видео.html
ruclips.net/video/HMWq-WZR-0k/видео.html
The weight shift forward best to start with the legs and hips to prevent lunging at the ball from the top. Got to do the work with the lower body upper body will follow.
Yep! thats the main catalyst.....feet, legs, pelvis.
That slow motion video he showed at 2:20 was actually Tiger woods hitting a stinger, which has minimal negative angle of attack.
Thanks for the feedback---thought it was a simple visual!
Eric, how do you actually hold the wrist angle? I have trouble doing that and cast the club everytime.
Hi Karen! Highly recommend checking out these two videos utilizing theHANGER training aid:
ruclips.net/video/OyxgamZllOM/видео.html
ruclips.net/video/I0hvWvN7qWE/видео.html
Hope it helps!
Greg Norman didn't take a lot of divots. His attack was shallow. How do you set up the drill so that you can still have a shallow angle of attack, but still be hitting down on the ball. Hope that makes sense?
Hey Jose!
IF you are someone who hits behind the ball I would NOT focus on that YET.
Ball first, ground second first things first.
Then you can optimize second.
How am I pushing forward though. I don’t get the feel or what body party pushes me forward am I pushing off back foot? Am I just bringing whole body forward some how?
Try these we go through those details:
ruclips.net/video/S-sWOuNt_O8/видео.html&pp=ygUZRXJpYyBDb2dvcm5vIHNoaWZ0IHdlaWdodA%3D%3D
Hi Eric, I find that I hardly to turn the hip during down swing. Is it any solution or drill for senior golfer like me? Thank you very much.
Hey Alex
1. Make sure your club face is closed enough
2. Make sure your shaft is shallow enough
1+2 will motivate your brain to rotate
Then something like this

Great work! Question for my sons swing. He is 9 playing for 3 years on PGA Junior League. We have worked on getting his weight forward since last December and he finally started hitting the ball clean 3 months ago. We are on our 4th instructor and he has him leaning his upper torso back at address. Now we are back to square one hitting in back of the ball 2-3 inches. Is there a trick to leaning torso back and still being able to hit the ball first cleanly?
Check this one out
ruclips.net/video/1bqHTtTEgvQ/видео.html
Ideally find ONE coach you really like and stick with them
Point no 2 regarding the right shoulder is a game changer for me , 1 and 3 more or less then fall in place naturally.
Love to hear that, Simon!
So to get your weight to the left side do you push off of your right foot of do you fall to your left side? I’ve never been able to figure out the correct way to “feel” it ?
More fall into left like this:
ruclips.net/video/fJQn_FzVnjg/видео.html
Towel drill a little bit behind the ball works well, too!
For sure!
ruclips.net/video/DJ5WwZ-C2lQ/видео.html
When I focus on getting weight on my front foot, I struggle to keep my head behind the ball and/or keeping a firm left side. Instead of posting up on my front leg, I finish with a soft flexed knee which is results in a lot of bad contact. Any insight on what might be going wrong?
Hey Jack!
nope....need to see your swing to say for sure.
I would start with these feels: ruclips.net/video/fJQn_FzVnjg/видео.html
May just need to feel your legs straighten MORE and sooner in downswing. NEED to see....try www.cogornogolf.com free 7 day trial and send in your swings
Good re-enforcement to get left. Can't have enough of images like this. Be good-Russ
Thank you, Russ!
Hello Eric how are you
Would it help to avoid hitting fat to stand slightly further from the ball at address
Hey!
In general I would say no....here are the check points I like to see in terms of distance from the ball
ruclips.net/video/c5FJRwZ_GnI/видео.html
The farther you get from the ball the more you have to bend over....I would say if anything that would increase odds of fat shots....closer and taller would decrease
When you say push your weight forward , is that with the right foot into the left , or is it like sitting down on the left foot ?
Its really BOTH....more falling into left early and pushing off right later
Check this one out to explain: ruclips.net/video/fJQn_FzVnjg/видео.html&pp=ygUrRXJpYyBDb2dvcm5vIHN0YXJ0IHRoZSBkb3duc3dpbmcgbG93ZXIgYm9keQ%3D%3D
Thank you. This drill has really helped my game. I am now struggling with consistency, example when I’m on the course I don’t have those three balls to help
Eric, I've been playing golf for over 20 years and my brother started only a year ago. What time I wasted to play good good golf. I taught my brother just three of your tips and drills including this one. He went from 90 to like in the 70s! It's unreal. True story.
Love this Eric!👊
So the right shoulder doesnt dip down at all? It only moves forward? I've heard other instructors say right shoulder gets low.
Hey John! Sorry for any confusion there
It DEFINITELY dips down.....
It just has to go FORWARD along with it
If it JUST goes down WITHOUT the forward thats chunk city.
down AND forward
More on that here:

@@CogornoGolf Thanks for the response. When doing this move, I noticed that I am now hitting extremely close to the heel.. I guess because my shoulder seems to go outward as well. It's hard to move it forward w/o it going outward. Any tips to avoid this outward motion.
I figured out why my contact was getting close to the hosel. I was trying to get right shoulder forward, but I was also moving my head forward as well, and this made me hit off the heel and nearly shanking. I made sure my head stayed back, and the contact was in the middle of the face again. lol. So the trick seems to be move the right shoulder forward WHILE KEEPING THE HEAD BACK. If I am wrong let me know.
Will this work for strong grip?
Yep!
Here is more on how to match wrist angles per grip style: ruclips.net/video/S776LyvM6Pc/видео.html
And a bit on how it affects your release pattern: ruclips.net/video/8Cg2O8atmYY/видео.html
I think sometimes the right shoulder isn’t able to move forward because the player won’t let the right knee kick towards the target/ kiss the left knee.
Part of it. Everything matters
Great video! I take the club back very low and hit the balls with my back swing? Cock my wrists sooner? Not sure what to do. Thanks
Yeah thats the thing with this drill.....technically speaking you would be OK to hit the balls on way back...
Either
1. Hinge wrists sooner in takeaway to miss on both sides
2. Start with club a foot behind ball hover over balls and swing from there (more difficult to do)
What can I guy do who’s had 2 knee replacements on his left knee . I still have pain on the inside of my knee . Just got new irons and I seem to hit behind the ball a lot with them .
Hey Scott! I'm not sure. I would need to see your swing on video and see what you current do, can do and cannot do. Maybe even need to see in person.
find a good pro to work with in person to help
@@CogornoGolf thanks for the comment , Eric. Still play decent , to about a 5 or 6 . Rely on my short game right now . But hopefully I’ll get things figured out !
for anyone wondering what not to do just look at all the swings behind Eric
I shot 73 and found I’m too steep on downswing causing fat shots. I think I have to place ball back slightly toward back foot. Your video has too steep of approach to ball for me.
Hey Jack! No worries----this isn't for everyone...would be easy to see what you need to do to correct if we could see your swing on video!
….,its unbelievable
and if the Weight is Kept on that left
Ur Correct., it WORKS every Time! Even w out the Transferring
when in doubt (for contact) keep weight more forward!
Where are you?
Boca Raton, FL for the winter☀️
The Wrist Back., And Up is The Key!!!!
Unbelievable
Yessir!
Why not use a folded towel rather than gold balls that’ll go everywhere.
That works great!
You could Substitute an Empty Ball Sleeve also.
Eric must get sooooo bored with hitting such perfect strikes everytime LOL
Easier game on the range :) Gotta get my butt down to the short game area and on the course!
seems too easy , one of the most frustrating problems with the amateur golfer , that includes me .
Haha I hear ya....wont be too easy. Will have some good and bad like anything else. If you struggle with fat shots I would plan to work on this for a full 12 months
4:39: "If I go way to the right, I'm ok with that . . . ."
You shouldn't be. Anyone swaying that much in the backswing is not rotating around his/her waist as he/she should be doing. Such person is moving laterally and inevitably bleeding tons of power.
Thanks for your feedback and perspective, Carl!
I love how most of the people in the background have shocking golf swings - the local dudes need help
My first reaction watching that slow-mo ball strike makes me believe that nothing you do after Impact matters.. Only your approach to the ball matters. That ball was a good 6 inches in front of the clubface before the club even started taking a divot. Why don't more teaching Pro's focus 90% on club path and approach to the ball!
Hey Chris! Yeah I hear ya.....sometimes by focusing on the follow through you CAN change pieces that happen earlier on as well. Goes both ways
Always liked Eric. Of coarse in a very non sexual way.
Thanks :)
Looking forward to using these tips. My #1 issue is chunky/fat shots. They come off the club nice and straight but die out 20-25 yards short..hopefully I’ll be able to use my 9 iron on 130+ yards and not my 7; it’s quite demeaning sometimes.
Exactly why I’m watching this video right now. I have the same exact problem as you. Hopefully these tips worked for you. I’ll try them soon as well
