Eric: I've been playing golf for over 60 years, taken 100's of lessons, but never heard the swing explained this clearly! I'm 6'10", 72yo and always struggled with too flat of a backswing and my head bobbing up and down. Left shoulder down is the key! Thanks so much! Greg

@CogornoGolf Год назад

👊So glad this one was helpful, Greg! Our pleasure!

@cornbin74 2 года назад

This is a spectacular video. Proponents of the stack and tilt really promote that left side bend. But it works in a conventional swing just as well. Very very important!

Monsieur Eric, I often watch your friends vids ( Malaska, Saguto and so on), but I can say that all the good ingredients of a delicious recipe ( as a frenchman it counts…), are mixed in yours!! This vid is one of the best of yours therefore one of the very best on YT. There are all the main principles which lead to a real good impact and consistency. I unfortunately tried to have lessons from you online but I can’t technically join your academy… I’m gonna try again. Thanks for this good job!!

Never used or thought about left side bend. Know about the right side bend. Backswing was always about getting left shoulder to ball. Feels different when you try left side bend. Skip stone left hand to feel left side bend

@michaelclark8368 2 года назад

Epiphany on the range yesterday! Never seen anyone mention “look down at the ball”. Head placement/angle was keeping me from the correct side bend and tilt. My head was upright but eyes looking down at the ball so my swing plane although feeling correct was not. I only say this to help if any amateurs out there were missing this very small piece of info.

@vernonbagay964 2 года назад

can you explain further

@michaelclark8368 2 года назад

My eyes were looking more down at the ball rather than my head. Keeping my chin up in the backswing kept me up too tall in the backswing.

@nicholasdemetriades9154 Год назад

Yes. Too much of a gap between chin and left shoulder at the top is generally bad. Also less speed because you won't be using the ground as effectively

@CogornoGolf 2 года назад

@Ron28 11 месяцев назад

Great drill! It may well be exactly what I've been looking for. For me the second part of the drill is key. It allows you to turn behind the ball. I've tried tilting or bending while keeping my left shoulder over the ball and all of my weight or pressure on the front foot. Creates enormous stress on the back. In the video you can see that Eric has turned behind the ball while staying centered. When I do this I feel like 60% of my weight is on the backfoot. So far I've only tried this in practice but the swing feels really good. I consistently follow through with a full balanced finish.

Hi Eric, I played three over (current at 20 hcp) on the back nine today trying to overdo it like you mentioned. I think that is the key for my (individually) golfswing because it makes a natural golf swing automatic. Great Explanation, thank you

@ChildoftheMostHigh1 2 года назад

Hey Eric, I've been through alot of videos with various instructors and you are by far the best one to learn from. I watched the video on stack and tilt while straightening the back leg with Tom Saguto and it worked well for me. My contact is alot more consistent however I hit my shots to the left. I think it maybe due to my downswing. Any thoughts on this? Keep up the good work!

@staffan144 2 года назад

That's really difficult to answer without seeing your swing. Hogan (whom inspired Tom Saguto and many others, Eric c too) did use a weak grip though. If your grip is to strong, the balls would go to the left, using Hogan's method correctly otherwise. But of course, it could be other things too. Whatever it is, I am sure it can be corrected! Kind regards, S

@ZiPolishHammer 2 года назад

If you have a strong grip and aren't delofting the club (by having your hands ahead of the clubface at impact) you're functionally closing the clubface. The stronger the grip the more lag you need at impact.

@wilhelmnordlander395 2 года назад

Probably releasing the club before hitting the ball.

@CogornoGolf 2 года назад

Hey Eric, love the video and excited to get working on this. Question for you - when I’ve worked on my left shoulder down in the backswing, I can’t seem to get any weight on my right side. Feels like all my weight is on my front foot. Very stack and tilty. Any thoughts on how to focus on this while still getting my weight transferred to my right side in the backswing?

@CogornoGolf 2 месяца назад

Hey Justen! Yes.....make sure your upper body isn't moving forward toward the target. use video.....draw a circle around your head from face on....left shoulder goes down to the point where head stays in the circle. If head working down or toward target youre overdoing that/weight too forward Feel what you need to feel to keep head in your circle....thats what you need to FEEL. You may feel upper body more away from target when you do it.....

@Golf-ib4wg 2 года назад

@@CogornoGolf give us a example of one that sticks out to you

@alecrosekrans Год назад

I think you've steepened the backswing less than you think. It's more that you're correctly using the internal rotation of the lead shoulder to provide the shallow elements (if you didn't the club would never work behind you) , while the pivot controls the steepening elements. It's not the shoulder that's actually doing the steepening. Yes it's moving down in space, but that's from side bend. There are some options of course for what the lead shoulder actually does vis-a-vis abduction and adduction, but it always lifts the lead arm to some extent, and unless you wanna be like Matt Wolff and do a crazy amount of shallowing in transition it also internally rotates, thus shallowing the shaft. Throughout the golf swing I think it's a good thought to think, body controls steep, shoulders and arms control shallow.

@CogornoGolf Год назад

Appreciate the feedback!

@lawman78727 Год назад

This has been the missing link to my golf swing. I've been plagued by pulling the left. The "natural" feel of right shoulder replaces the left shoulder doesn't cut it for me. Backswing with good left side bend gets you going back low, get a full turn, then a lowering move of right forearm combined with right side bend, beautiful down the middle shots. Thank you.

@atorres0381 Год назад

This is very good stuff Eric! I'm currently working on this move. Reminds me of S&T. Is it ok to "feel" like I'm coming over the top in the downswing so that my trail shoulder leads coming down and the club shallows out? I think when I force to get shallow I early extend because I get a lot of fats and thins.

@CogornoGolf Год назад

@CogornoGolf 2 года назад

Yes just not as much You replace the amount of forward bend at setup with side bend in backswing So Driver you stand the tallest....the least bent over at setup....so requires less tilt to maintain inclination to ground Opposite with short iron would need most

@kenpaveley1572 2 года назад

@@CogornoGolf Ok, cheers Eric 👍

@gordonsteen5266 11 месяцев назад

Eric is this the same for the driver swing, should the shoulder go down for that too. Just a different set up so as to hit up on the ball?

@CogornoGolf 11 месяцев назад

Yes thats correct. the left shoulder always goes down But you are looking to replace the forward bend at setup with the side bend in backswing The shorter the club the more bent over you are at setup so the more left shoulder down to maintain than inclination to the ground The longer the club (driver) the less forward bend you have at setup (standing taller) so less tilt required to maintain than inclination in backswing So it always goes down But less and less as clubs get longer

@jamiemccabe6690 2 года назад

If you don't have enough side bend could that lead to excessive forearm rotation and the club face fanning open early in the backswing?

@maartenvandongen1945 Год назад

Top video. Does this also apply to the driver swing?

@CogornoGolf Год назад

Yep! but since you are standing taller at setup the L shoulder won't go AS FAR DOWN Tilt shoulders 90* to spine line....more tilt the shorter the club

@ForeverCello 2 года назад

Does this apply to driver, as well ?

@CogornoGolf 2 года назад

@pigslefats 2 года назад

So why set up with RSB at address (beyond the effect of hand positions on grip) when you want LSB going up to the top? Added benefit of LSB at address is it helps prevent a too inside take away/too flat. Should RSB ONLY be the result of how hands are arranged on the grip?. Also, even though the feel is as demonstrated-sliding left hand down, it is extremely difficult to get that degree of LSB when both hands are on the club.

@CogornoGolf 2 года назад

Bc if you dont your shoulders will be too open at setup (this generally leads to a lack of turn in backswing, lack of hand path depth)

@CogornoGolf 2 года назад

Try setting setting up with your trail shoulder higher than lead......where do your shoulders align?
