This should be taught to everyone at the first lesson as swing 101. Thank you sir! I've been plagued by the lack of forearm rotation during downswing until recently I found out the exact same thing myself. I wish I could have seen this earlier. Really appreciated it Eric.
You got it---hope it serves you well :)
@@CogornoGolf I have been struggling with this all last season thinking it was my right arm until I discovered that it was was my it was my left all along along (folding it too early, chicken wing etc.) This lesson has change EVERYTHING for me in my my downswing and it's a game game changer. Thank you so much for this valuable instruction.
Such a great topic, for a video, Eric. I’m scratch, and I’m sorta the “hold off the face” guy. I like the security of the face staying more stable. My direction control is normally very good, with all clubs. However…. I have experimented with more forearm roll, and the strike, and distance definitely improves. But, my direction suffers. I understand why you’re promoting this, and I actually wish I had learned to play this way. It’s the reason Tour Pros strike it perfectly, and hit it a mile. However, they do spray it when it’s off a little. But, my method is also the reason that I suffer with strike, and distance control on days that I’m off. I guess you could say that it’s a trade off. Allowing the forearms to naturally roll = improved strike, and effortless distance, but direction control is a little more unpredictable. Hold the face off more = very predictable left, and right control, but strike, and distance isn’t as effortless. Again… GREAT VIDEO! Love your channel, bro.
This is such a great comment. Right on the money
@@rlee99p Thanks.
Appreciate ya!
Agreed I’m still trying to work out how to stop a hook from an overactive trail hand so it’s “hold off” until then
I was always taught to not flip so I sleep the face square through impact like you but sometimes I feel like it’s wrong. I can shoot under doing this, but the shots don’t feel super flush all of the time.
Eric, once again you hit another home run with this video. The drills you provide and not just this one are really spot on! They have helped me immensely. I think the biggest mistake amateurs make is expecting results immediately. You can’t just do a few reps and expect a sudden miraculous change. You have to ingrain it into your swing by repeatedly doing your drills. Just posted to consecutive scores of 80 practicing your drills. The course measures 6113 yds from the tees I used. I haven’t done that in years. Not bad for a 72 yr old fart like myself!
Haha :)Thank you-- I appreciate the kind words!
I’m new to golf trying to learn my swing your videos are helping me so much you have such good videos showing finishing the swing nobody shows that the tilt and straight arms are the rest of my swing I’ve never paid attention to thanks so good!
👊Glad to hear the videos are helping!
Eric. This pairs perfectly with your Driver swing left arm rotation. I took this to the range today. This turned out to be golden. This has allowed me to get to the left side. Doing so, stopped smothered hooks because my arms got stuck. Thanks for great videos
👊
Appreciate your support, Stephen!
I'm only just starting to get into arm rotation in my golf swing, when started doing and hitting the ball feels really good, I get into a really good finishing position and great ball flight, I keep hooking left quite a lot. But I'm sticking with it, love the vlog I really like the way you showed how to practice before taking shots, I'm gonna start adding this to my game, thank you 👌👌
Hope this helps ya!
Best lesson! I've been struggling with my irons, thin and sometimes fat shots, with no confidence! This video, along with the lesson you did with James (I think, the "thud" video) have changed my game. Iron shots are crisp and straight! Can't thank you enough!
Love to hear this! Thanks for being here with us!
I never leave comments on videos but after watching this, I knew I had to speak up.
I recorded myself at the range today because I was really striking the ball poorly (I’m still fairly new to golf and therefore inconsistent). When I got home and reviewed the footage, I was happy with my backswing, still needs some tweaks but much better than where I started, but my downswing looked awful! The worst chicken wing possible in my lead arm. This video was exactly what I needed to see, and I’m excited to try this at the range next time.
Needless to say I hit that subscribe button immediately!
Heck yeah---really appreciate the kind words the support! Hope this one helps ya.....very similar one here I would check out on this arm rotation piece and fixing chicken wing:
ruclips.net/video/oZU6G9Gq_l0/видео.html&pp=ygUZRXJpYyBDb2dvcm5vIGNoaWNrZW4gd2luZw%3D%3D
This is move rotate, extend, release drill is something I’ve been working on since March. I am now finding I hook the living crap out of seven iron through driver. The lower end of the bag has a soft draw flight. Prior to working on my extension/release habits I hit the ball very straight to a baby fade. At the end of my swing the clubface is pointing to the ground. I’ve taken a couple lessons, and I am told my fundamentals are solid. However, I can’t seem to break the habit of hooking the longer part of my bag.
That should be EASY to fix.....just need to neutralize face to path (and path)......send swings to www.cogornogolf.com we can fix that
Excellent video, arm rotation is something i practiced extensively during first lockdown, with a rubber mat, and those airballls in my garden, well worth it, as a result i hit a slight draw now, unless a fade required, at aged 69, added bonus, the extra distance throughout the clubs was most welcome.
Love it!
Always enjoy your videos, Eric. You've a nice way about you, you zero in on substantive tips/how to's (as opposed to so many who ramble through their presentations), and one comes away with a more meaningful understanding of how to improve the golf swing. For that, I'm appreciative. Keep up the good work!
Really appreciate the kind words and support! Thank you!
I really needed this video ❤❤❤
Hope it helps your game, Jay!
You always provide great drills. Keeps me a fan of your channel. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
At minute 8:14, why is the video on the right bad? It looks similar to the the “good” video on the left. Thanks!
yeah i was looking for an explanation of that as well. looks like the body is moving more on the "bad"
Agreed----thats an editing mistake on our end---the good and bad shouldnt look like that---sorry about that!
@@CogornoGolf No worries at all! I really appreciate all the guidance you give to everyone. You’ve helped my game tremendously!
Brilliant! This is part of my practice system now! Thanks sending me the link!
Our pleasure my friend!
Thanks Eric for this great video. Would you say the 2 wrists should touch each other after closing the club face, or is this something pros tell clients to do to exaggerate the feeling of closing the clubface (aka: ‘’the watch drill’’)? Thanks again and keep up the amazing work!
Hey Julien! Idk about touching but CLOSE for sure!
The video of the good vs bad at 8:10 seems to be quite similar to me? What am I missing? 😂
The shoulder and legs have to be quiet when performing the rotation?
Agreed---good catch----thats an editing mistake on our end! Should look different, sorry about that!
The right shoulder was the key to this for me,, thank you!!!
You got it :)
Great information. Wish I knew this twenty years ago.
Thanks Marcus! Hope it helps your game!
Great lesson, thank you!
Our pleasure!
I like this. Clear explanation, expectation & drill. Nice job 👍🏼
Thanks Bruce!
Excellent video Eric!!! This is a major problem, and you have just solved it!!!
Thank you!
This video should be considered the golf swing bible! As a low single digit player people ask me for help often and when I explain the role of the lead arm they look at me like I'm crazy and this approach makes it so simple and clear! The only thing I would expand on is, and you did touch on it, is the actual release point of the lead wrist.
:) Thanks for watching my friend!
You may enjoy these two on the wrist action:

Aha moment! Working this lesson with relaxing the front deltoids has been tremendous. Thank you for this lesson
Feels like the butt of the club is moving the direction of an inside fastball
Our pleasure!
Great Video. I have been hooking a lot recently but striking has been really inconsistent. Thought I was flipping thru the ball but I always finish with left hand above the right so obviously I am not flipping. I think it might be overrotation in the body and a closed clubface giving me a hook. Cheers
Thank you----hope you get it sorted!
I see this release trend is starting to take off. Im glad because the whole rotate and stabilize the clubface thing ( cant explain it well) messed me up.
Both (and in between) can all work!
Originally, bodyturn and forearm rotation are incompatible, but great players such as Collin Morikawa and Nelicoda combine them well through supination at the top. I hope you can explain the benefits
I think watching this one will help explain what you need to know
ruclips.net/video/wCs7m-fOI-M/видео.html&pp=ygUjRXJpYyBDb2dvcm5vIEdvbGYgbGVmdCBhcm0gcm90YXRpb24%3D
Great!
Hello, sorry a bit of a noob question but what’s the difference between the good and bad swing at 8:12? Is it the good the arms go out towards target (more horizontally) instead of lifting the arms?
Thanks
Hey John!
Yes good catch---thats an editing mistake on our end! Should look different, sorry about that!
@@CogornoGolf ah, thanks for the reply 👍
I started doing this few months ago and hit changed everything. Better contact. Way better follow though, arms extended no chicken wing ect.
I find that turning the left wrist through impact also turns the arms from cause and effect
Love to hear that!
Yo E, lots of instructors are teaching right elbow out and left elbow at target saying about injury..i get that. Im having trouble with how to learn when to get out of that.. Impact... Slightly after? Plus my right arm gets super external.. Almost 45 degrees and i think it's causing me trouble but everyone encourages that... Have any thoughts?
Hey Rick! For sure thoughts....but I would be making too many guesses here without seeing your swing. Need to see your swing to see exactly what's actually going on to say how to fix. Send swings into www.cogornogolf.com can fix that up!
Thanks Eric…what about fairway woods? I assume it would be a little different as the distance between you and the ball has increased. Thanks I’m advance.
Same general feels relative to this video topic for all clubs
This is what Ive been waiting for crushed it as always Eric!
👊Thank you!
Eric I think and this is just my observation to get that right arm over the left if you look at all those great players their left arm at impact is very connected to their left side with no space between the left arm and their left side body if their is space between the left side and the left arm weak shots happen I hope that made sense lol . Watch videos on all those great players they are all connected from right side to left side with no space in between before and after contact .
This also worked great for me someone who fights the over the top tendency’s always skirting that line.
Great to hear this!
Great video but Argh- I am a 5 & my swing is complete trash - I am 6’3” & I allow my crappy understanding of the left side turn me into a 3’6” player . I have spent the last 3 weeks hitting 1 arm lead-side shots only - I am doing a deep dive & slowly things are revealing themselves to me - i want to Gee these concepts you discuss here but there are not clicking !! I feel like I am lashing out at the ball & then pulling club back towards me at & after impact - what are other “feels” that will left me know I am using my left arm correctly ??
Hey Hylan---I REALLY...really.....could help you if we could see your swing but without seeing your swing I would just be guessing so much. Need to see what you are currently doing and the root issues to show how to fix. Send swings in to www.cogornogolf.com if you don't get it sorted and we will fix/give you specific answers
8:12 whats the difference between good and bad?
That's an editing mistake on our end---the good and bad shouldn't look like that---sorry about that!
I think for the chicken winger (like me!) it makes sense to do what Eric is saying and then adjust. But If you look closely at Adam Scott club face on the follow through, it does close out some half way on the follow through but then it tends to stay somewhat stable after. It does not totally shut down like in Eric swing on this demo. He exaggerates to make the point I think. Crazy game but fun!
:)
LMNT is the best during summer golf.
Awesome product---I love it!!
Hi ..great info but for a person how hooks this feels the wrong thing to do.. Any thoughts
Hey there! Thanks!
It really depends on WHY they are hooking the ball to say for sure...would need to see swings on video to confidently say if they need more or less of this component👍
Brilliant video Eric L to L gives you a good solid ball strike 👏
Thank you :)
Magic!!
:)
Will this help with a shank shot
MAYBE Brian....
I would need to see your swing on video to see what's causing it to be able to fix for sure.
Here are some places I would star with to fix shank:
ruclips.net/video/B8duKc_lcPQ/видео.html&pp=ygUSRXJpYyBDb2dvcm5vIHNoYW5r
ruclips.net/video/nC-dVMXehqQ/видео.html&pp=ygUSRXJpYyBDb2dvcm5vIHNoYW5r
Those are my top strategies to fix without seeing.
If that doesn't solve it send swings in to www.cogornogolf.com and we can fix!
Great video
Thank you!
When doing practice swings I frequently don’t hit the low point on my mat. Would this drill help fix that issue?
Hard to say 100% without seeing your swing and identifying why that's happening in your swing specifically. Send us your videos at www.cogornogolf.com so we can do a full analysis and practice plan for you!
Can’t wait to try this. My miss right now is flipping my hands bad at impact though so it worries me. Probably 2 different things cause I know I chicken wing
Hope it helps, Jimmy!
Eric a question I feel with the left arm post inpact as it starts to hinge I feel a connection of the left arm to my side q fraction is this a hood or bad thing I know i personal feel more control over my accuracy just wondering if that's correct sp from inpact to it hinges left arm it's semi glued to my left lower ribs ?
I have good from 12 handicap to 8 in past 2 months so maybe I've answered my own question im just wondering from.a consistency and ball striking point of you will this stabilise the direction of my swing
Thats correct Mark in general I would say thats GOOD
I understood perfectly what you’re trying to say here. My initial problem was watching Tiger to learn to swing my iron. Yeah..
:)
I have somewhat of a chicken wing in the follow through but much later than your example (like I pull my arms left instead of extending in the follow through). My shots tend to go straight and left but good power… needs a fix.
Hope this helps....if not send swings to www.cogornogolf.com we can fix
This makes sense to me but my question is, what about players with a huge amount of body rotation that are able to close the face with less arm rotation than we're seeing here. I'm thinking specifically of Zack Johnson. Personally, I don't think I can rotate that well, so your presentation resonates with me. Am I off base?
I just finished the video and you answered the question!
:)
Hands down the best video you’ve made, anyone who’s struggling to hit solid shots….. better save this video
Thank you!
What do I do if it goes to far left and I am a right handed
Hey!
1. Determine WHY its going left
2. Fix that
:)
I say that 1/2 kidding.....if you're adding in more arm rotation and its going LEFT but SOLID....you could look at
1. More shaft lean at impact
2. Path more from inside/to right
3. Face less closed earlier
4. More body rotation
5. Ball more back in stance
6. Face slightly more open at setup
Those would all be options
Do you also use this hand action with Driver?
Same general feels relative to this video topic for all clubs
Eric, when I try this feel, I'm flipping my left wrist through impact, I guess I should feel more of a forearm roll??
Think about the butt off the club as a clock and you want to turn that clock counter clock-wise through impact. Be aware if you have a strong grip will will hit A LOT left. What helped me was more of a neutral grip with this swing thought. May or may not work for you but worth a try.
@@nunyo7259 thanks, I will definitely try it. Cause flipping my way to a 85-99 ain't working.
@@gadams126 Lol oh I hear you trust me
Cant say for sure without seeing your swing so we can see where you're going off......could be SEVERAL things.....send swings to www.cogornogolf.com so we can diagnose and fix
That's me - chicken wing, right shoulder high, thin -fat, left-right, and all! I WORK HARD to swing my irons and it feels like I work against myself! I'm heading out to try this, right now.
Hope it helps!
@@CogornoGolf Eric, I videos myself then played 18. It was THE worst day of golf I can honestly remember. Seems the more I learn, the worse my score!?!?!
Welcome to pull hooks club
Hey! Yes for sure....love to see PULL HOOKS at first for players who normally miss WEAK RIGHT.....which most do.
Once you get pull hooks (you learned to over close the club face to path (thats good)).....then you can learn to turn the volume down on that OR tweak other pieces to match that new face
That should result in better contact/compression, more distance and direction control!
Hope that helps--all the best!
I say "THAT'S GOOOOD." ERIC 💪
:)
this is my main problem in my golf swing i get crunched with my lead shoulder trying to keep the club back and square
hope this helps!
so that I understand correctly?
You can play with hand release or body release? or both combined 🤣
You got it :)
For a super strong grip, it should be less rotation, right Eric?
Relatively speaking yes-----but still need SOME
I asked my PGA instructor about this one lesson -- like, 'shouldn't my swing have some of this?' and he goes "Nooo no no, imagine how much timing you'd need to have perfect for that... let's just focus on a strong grip and making good contact." ... is he wrong? or just not putting a lot of confidence in me just yet, trying to get my basics down?
Hey there!
Golfers HAVE TO have rotation (lead arm supination, trail arm pronation).....EVERY.....SINGLE....GOLFER....EVER....has and always will.
The questions are HOW MUCH and WHEN?
That depends a lot on the players body motions, club face angle (how open or closed it is to shaft/plane on the way down), and grip
Check out this video below on this, it may help explain more especially the second half:
ruclips.net/video/9CeiWv2opZI/видео.html
This is me. God I need to get rid of that elbow. Thanks for the video!
Hope it helps!!
I’m seriously struggling with a 10-13 degree in-to-out path. I just can’t correct the path to get the ball to no hook.
Hey Dominic! You may enjoy checking out this video for the fix!
ruclips.net/video/EmXw-YeD324/видео.htmlfeature=shared
Jordan Speith is the only tour player that doesnt rotate his arms that much, but he really rotates his body.
Yep he would be an anomaly for sure!
You want to feel Kentucky Fried Chicken Crispy at impact. You don't want to become the chicken wing. I learned this from the KFC King himself Tom Saguto. If you wanna feel Krispy Kreme, or Captain Crunch at impact, then great. Just don't produce a chicken wing lest you find yourself thrown into the frier and eaten alive by the golf course. I think this is the greatest take a away in golf. Feel the Crispy, don't become it. Thanks
👊
Thanks for being here with us! Hope this one helps your game!
8:16 both look the same to me
Agreed----thats an editing mistake on our end---sorry about that!
Isnt this flipping ? Makes hard for medium hcp golfers to do this, when timing is problem here =(
Is this consistent with the videos you did with the precious impact? I am having a hard time, keeping that right, wrist bent and making the release you are showing in this video.
Yes! You'll be blending the trail wrist extension with the forearm rotation. Start short and slow and gradually build your way up. Use video feedback to confirm your motions in practice👊
You must need to pull the butt of the club ahead of the ball more then your instructing because I hit the ground hard when I try this?
Hey!
Hands should be roughly in front of left thigh from face on at impact.....several factors affect that. Body rotation, weigh shift, wrist angles, etc etc
Would need see your swing to see what's going wrong--with or without this move in this video. Send swings to www.cogornogolf.com when you're ready
Okay sure
Short right with poor contact, that’s Jordan Spieth miss, he has the worst looking chicken wing in pro golf.
:)
