Hey Guys
Sorry we didn't show the down the line view---had some issues with the camera and lost the footage from that angle. Thats my fault I should have checked that while we were going!
Details for training station:
1. Poles are driver length apart
2. Top of poles are hip height
3. Poles are set straight up
4. Poles are set down the toe line
Hopefully that helps gives you what you need to re create---let us know if you have any questions!
On the down swing should the two sticks you are holding go inside the back parameter or outside of the back?
Are the outside sticks angled?
Missing an imperative KEY view..... How about a "Take TWO" video?, since it's so annoying not having this information since you're only presenting only half of the story.
If the top of the center alignment stick is a fist away from the body then it must be driven into the ground at an angle because the bottom of the stick is clearly further from the player. The missing down the line view is crucial. I’m really surprised that you uploaded this without it.😢
This video has transitioned my swing like nothing before it (and there has been a GREAT DEAL before it)! I practiced this only to find how much easier my swing rotation has become and I'm 69! I can rotate just fine within the context of this drill - perhaps not as much as a younger golfer but I've still got lots of ROM for this drill. I played 9 holes just to test the results. It was IMPRESSIVE. The best part is it took all the info overload away, took all the physical tension away, simplified my swing and the results were astounding. The sound my contact makes is "cleaner". Seems like SO much less effort and yet more distance. ?!? AND, it was SO easy to hit all my clubs straight!! I'm SO excited to get out there this week on my men's league day. Thank you kindly gentlemen!
👊Love to hear this!! Our pleasure!
Great post. This drill is awesome. Setting up my station in my living room right now. The other videos you did with Trevor, the one where he does the "Light Switch" drill... I spent two hours at the range today, about 90 balls, doing that drill. People looked at me like I was crazy at first, but then were asking about it. Slow, deliberate practice is the only way to go!
Love it Eric-!! Lol whatever works!!
I am going to start practicing this today. Thank you guys.
Hope this helps---thank you!!
Eric, I have the exact same challenges in my swing as you do. This drill is so good for that!
Hope this one helps ya!!

You guys do great videos together - really clearing explaining the fundamental parts of the golf swing.
Thank you!
Wow. This is excellent. It really helps you move well.
Thanks Kris!
Awesome drill!!!! Thanks for the tip
Thanks angelo!
This has been part of my warmup before I hit balls for a while now. Love it.
Thanks
Love it Nelson!
That is one solid drill, dudes,
Thanks,
William
Thank you, William!
E -- this drill is straight butter! Thanks as always for your generosity.
Thanks Rhod---hope it helps ya!
Hey Eric,
Many thanks to Travis for this idea. IT IS A GAME CHANGER!!!!! I made one of these training aids out of 3/4" PVC pipe. If you would like to see it I could send you some pics but I need a personal email address because I don't think I can send a pic via youtube. Again...every golfer should make one of these!!!! Gerry
👊Love it Gerry! Glad this one helped!
I’ve been thinking of making one. What are the dimensions you used? Thanks!
What a hum dinger! Great video. Thanks boys!
Thanks Mick!
Viewing Trevor’s other lessons, I think it’s important to note the posture he recommends along with his pressure to the left toe after transitioning into the downswing and pushing away the left hip as you talked about with Malaska. He also recommends a throw release.
Agreed----everything ties together for sure
This seems like a keeper. Although, it would be good to offer some guidance on the path the held long alignment stick takes (or in other words where/when the stick misses)...
Comments from my drilling with this setup, @cogomogolf, please advise if this is wrong:
• On takeaway, the lead side of the held stick should go OUTSIDE the lead in-ground stick. (Initially I was trying to take this INSIDE and nearly fell over)
• On the downswing, the trail side of the held stick should go INSIDE the trail in-ground stick.
• If you're an early extender (ahem), then you'll have to work hard to have the trail side of the held stick miss the trail in-ground stick. IMO, this is where the magic is: you have to contort yourself to make that happen (which in this case is a good thing)
• If you're an over-the-topper, then you'll have to work hard to have the lead side of the held stick miss the lead in-ground stick.
The held stick that I used was approximately my body height, give or take an inch. The guidance in the video (a couple sticks taped together) is ambiguous. Obviously, holding a super short stick would not reveal any flaws, and a very long stick would make the drill impossible.
Does this jibe with anyone else's experience with the drill?
Thanks for watching and the thoughts here are great Matthew!
Great video guys I’m going to do this 😊🙌
Thanks Lee! Hope it helps your game!
Wonderful to see our Kiwi Grant Waite feature in your instruction :)
What a great swing!!
Great content
Thanks Jim!
This is a good idea!
Thanks James---hope it helps!
Genius station!
Hope it helps your game!
Great drill guys.
Thank you!
Awesome drill. Wish you could have a second shot from behind you both with the three stick setup to get a better angle on how to set the side poles.
Totally agreed Mario that should 100% be in there.....my fault for not making sure
Put some of the details above to help
Details for training station:
1. Poles are driver length apart
2. Top of poles are hip height
3. Poles are set straight up
4. Poles are set down the toe line
That's like the turn, shift and click drill that Kerod Grey uses. It's brilliant
👊👊
Thanks for watching, Jason!
Great instructions, you and Trevor are great together. Eric, your "Anatomy of a scratch golfer" on Performance Golf has been helpful. I think EE drill will be a game changer.
I made the set up for the range, but have not been able to locate the tension rod with the stand for indoor use. Do you have a brand / model? What is the white attachment? Thank you,
Thanks, Lisa!
Thats a great question and I have absolutely no idea lol
I'll see if Trevor can hop in and answer :)
Thank you @@CogornoGolf
How is the outside station setup? Are the end sticks on the toe line? What angle are the end sticks at?
Yes sorry Buck---we should have showed this from down the line thats my fault.
the sticks are straight up about fist away just like the middle stick
Added some details above

@@CogornoGolf thank you!!
Would like to set this up but... Where do the 2 vertical sticks belong? Can't tell from a head on view.
If you check later in the video there's a better view but good news we are going to do another video with this showing the DTL view better-----sorry about that!
Eric, The two sticks together Trevor is holding with his crossed arms are supposed to go, in the backswing and in the follow through, behind or beyond the 2 alignment rods set up as parameters? Thanks for your clarification. Carlos
IN FRONT OF THEM....
Sorry this should have been a down the line view we messed that up here
Thanks
Shoulders turn on different planes in backswing & downswing, 41* b'swing & 56* through impact, this is because the trail hand is lower on the grip.
For sure---actually just did a video on that a few days ago coming up
Help me with shoulders staying over feet and line on the ground?
For sure! Send swings in to www.cogornogolf.com so we can see what the issue is and will help fix!
Eric, How bend should my upper body be? Where can I find the inside structure? Thanks.
Hey Carlos!
If you drew a line through your spine/back line at setup, you want to tilt your shoulders down about 90° to that initial spine angle line. This allows the golfer to keep their head centered.
90° to the back line is a good checkpoint throughout the bag. Replace the amount of forward bend (the amount that you are tilted over towards the golf ball) at setup with side tilt in the backswing.
So if you are 30° bent over towards the ball at setup, tilt your shoulders 30°ish. Since you are bent over more or less with different clubs, that will change that. So with a wedge where you are more bent over at setup, there is more tilt automatically in the backswing. You are less bent over with the driver, so 90° to that line will be less tilted over in the backswing.
This video talks through more details on this topic and I think it may help clarify it for you:
czcams.com/video/itMUrdHkHm4/video.html
Hope this helps!
@@CogornoGolf Thanks.Very clear !
We’re outside sticks pointing straight up or at an angle? And are they right on toe line?
Hey Luis!
That are straight up
Sorry about showing that view....this should have been a down the line video not face on sorry I missed that!
added some details above
Details for training station:
1. Poles are driver length apart
2. Top of poles are hip height
3. Poles are set straight up
4. Poles are set down the toe line
@Eric, what is your advice on how to implement this drill while also keeping in mind what JT Thomas covered in the video "Why Amateur Golfers Can't Fix Early Extension"? Thanks!
Hey Kevin!
They work together beautifully!
Make sure the pelvis is tucked under at setup (stick 1 fist away AFTER tucking under)
Trail hip stays back in backswing and then fires through without working in toward the ball
Which part do you see different/unsure about?
@@CogornoGolf I kept thinking of what JT articulated about how some people move their butt back too early in the backswing, which is as bad as having a bad posture setup. I am wondering if it makes sense to also have an alignment stick close to, but touching my butt as part of this drill or if this drill as outlined by Trevor covers that. Thanks for quick response. Love the content.
For sure....you CAN do that.
In reality if you draw a line up the back of butt line at setup in the backswing we more or less want that to just stay on that line
Not in toward the ball (worst option) not really back away either (a little OK) but not too much also bad
So the poles on the outside. Are they angled towards you ? Straight up and down ?

Stack and tilt swing drill 😂 without knowing it - S&T swing best swing ever 💪🏼
👊
Thanks for watching, Tiaan!
Brought to you by 'the society for alignment sticks of America'

Ok, I think the ball in the full version, would be set to where you would put the ball as if you where going to hit the ball with a club, then angle stick over the top of the ball and push it in the ground so you get the angle and the fist away as shown when Eric is explaining.
This is how I’m going to set this up and see how I get on. Hopefully it’s right 😅
Good luck everyone
Thanks Eric great video
Thanks Mark! Hope this one helps my friend!
I would of liked to see a down the line view of the first version.
Sorry about that Jason! Check out my pinned comment on this video to help!
If you could, please please put up a short video showing us the down the line view with all 3 sticks, showing the good move, the 'slide left and tilt', and the 'over the top'. It would made the lesson so much clearer. Also, on the backswing Trevor's upper torso moves to target side of the centre line (the 'counter balance'?) whereas yours goes the other way. Is that a 'must' move or is that optional?
Totally agree---thats my fault...we had some issues with camera from down the line view on this one.....which should have been the main view.
Will see if we can do a better version in the future
Optional on second part....part of that is exaggerating for demo.....I would draw a circle around your head a setup.....keep head dead in circle on way back.....then move slightly down and forward of that to start down
What are the parameters for the sticks on the outside? There was no down the line video showing how they are setup other than saying the height they are. Thanks so much Eric!! Awesome content as usual 👍
driver length apart.
@@latinoracer is it on the toe line though?
@@ameliajade6113 yes they mention driver length. You can see the driver sitting on the floor
@@joshualara8944 ya I noticed the driver on the ground, there was no down the line camera view so I’m assuming it’s on the toe line?
Yep would’ve loved to have seen side by side Split View of down the line and head on view like most video analysis stations!
Dang! That covers a *lot*!
Thanks Kevin!
The girl in the background with the light blue skirt has a very good swing.😊
The component that is still a mystery would be cleared up by showing the center stick from down the line. I’m assuming that it is set at an angle from the ball to a fist in front of the belt. The rotating stick needs to pass on the ball side of the vertical stick, then does the rotating stick pass in the fist-wide gap between the belt and the angled stick? Thank you.
Agreed---sorry about that we should have showed the down the line the whole time here---doing a new video on this one soon with that angle
Would have like to see the original setup station with the 2 sticks in the ground from down the line.
100% agreed----cant believe we missed that....that should be the main view here. My fault
I added some details above
Details for training station:
1. Poles are driver length apart

@@CogornoGolf Thanks!
@@CogornoGolf Is the alignment rod in the centre on an angle coming from the ball to one fist width in front of belt line?
It would have been nice to show a down the line version of the three sticks.

The question I have is does the shoulder stick go in front of the vertical sticks(closer to camera) on backswing and follow through?
Need a side view to see how far away the sticks are from the body

Can't tell if stick he is holding is going inside or outside of any of the in ground sticks
Agreed---its outside....that my fault...we should have been showing this from down the line view instead of face on
If you see the version at he end hopefully it shows better
love the dr disrespect reference
Thanks for watching!
So are the 3 sticks in front of you? Are they in a straight line? I am stuggling with it visually. I wish they was a POV from behind while doing this.
Hey Ben,
Sorry we didn't show the down the line view!
Details for training station:
1. Poles are driver length apart
2. Top of poles are hip height
3. Poles are set straight up
4. Poles are set down the toe line (in front of the golfer)
Hope this helps you!
@@CogornoGolf Thanks! Are the poles on your shoulder going in bewteen you and the 3 poles?
Yes!
Trevor's incredibly flexible!
:)
whos the guy in the seperate video ?
Grant Waite
Did you notice the difference in Trevor’s left heel move/lift during the backswing compared to your left foot roll/flatness? Thoughts on this? Also, it would be really helpful if you did a video that ties together everything you guys have been working through. Thanks for your great instruction Eric!
Good ideas...I did notice....maybe for another video. Good topic and would be good fun!
I wasn’t sure if that girl was new to golf but she looked to be smoking that driver
Thanks for watching David!
Does Trevor have a last name?
Haha Yes sorry about that....his info should be in description---just fixed that.
Here is his info
**You can find our friend Trevor Salzman at on CZcams at
/ @tsgolf and can contact him at linktr.ee/trevorsalzmangolf.
Don't early extend with that or you'll need pd treatment.
Lol gotta be careful
No drill that is done without a club can be called the best drill ever. I guarantee 90% of people that watch this could do this drill until the cows come home and still early extend when swinging a club.
Thanks for the feedback Conor---I understand your perspective.
I would say if you rehearse the movement slowly 3-5 times and then get the same “feel” slowly with an 8-9 iron repeatedly and daily or as much as possible when making a swing change you will ingrain the movement.
As long as you learn club face awareness and combine that with this drill you’ll be golden. Throwing a frisbee with your left hand while in your golf stance really would help you max out these two drills
I would agree with that
I would say most amateur golfers do not focus on the importance of how your body turns vs using your arms to hit the ball. This drill kind of redirects your focus and in turn lets your arms hang on for the ride. Hope that made sense….LOL
You may be the worst shaver, thats in response to the ad. Golf instructor pretty darn good.
Lol
It looked like he had to really exaggerate leaning forward in his example. When I’m over the top, it doesn’t look anything like that.
Great drill however can you reshoot it again without the girl at the back. I couldn't concentrate.
Sorry about that Jamal!
Hahaha i was looking in the comments to see if I was the only one.
Because you have excepted😊 Harry’s as a sponsor I will never watch your channel again…….
