Good stuff. I am a hitting instructor for baseball/softball and realized some years ago that the golf and BB/SB swings were very similar just on different planes. I use a lot of comparisons of my journey to improve my golf swing with my hitters ti help them understand different positions of the swing in relation to what they are actually feeling. What I also recognized, with assistance fro my mentor, was that golf was probably 20-30 years ahead of BB/SB instructors in video analysis, data etc. There are a growing number of us that now use video and 'other' analytics/data to help hitters improve. What I also really like is that Eric, or someone from his staff respond to questions and comments. That is dedication and class, This is how I learn...thanks.
Appreciate the kind words Richard! Thank you!!
Excellent video and explanation! As a right hand dominant left hand golfer, weight shift is something I struggle with as I tend to load up my back foot in the backswing. This video gives me something to work on. Thanks for your time, very much appreciated.
Appreciate it---hope it helps!
I think this is the key I needed to start getting consistent strikes with my irons. I used this technique today at the range and was flushing my irons even with a strong head wind
Thanks.
Love it!
Another great video Eric. You and Steve are excellent together. Keep up the great work.
Thank you!!
Thanks Erin for this weight shift lesson which helped me to shift my lower body forward prior to swinging forward resulting in hitting more solid shots rather than hitting behind the ball.
Fantastic! Our pleasure Frank!
Great Video. Exactly what I'm working on doing better this year.
Thanks Victor! Hope it helps!!
Thanks, Eric. This was an aha lesson for me. I've watched a lot of videos about take aways and weight shift. But, intuitively I want to put weight on the left to get power into the through of my axe handle into the log where the ball is. I realize that is so wrong. I've been working hard at easing my down swing and coming from inside out. That has alowed me to actually hit draws for the first time in my life. But, I hadn't thought about how shifting my weight forward at the begining of my take away, similar to a chip swing, would help my ability to hit down into the ball then the ground. Dugh! The golf swing is definitely not a natural act for me. Thanks, again
Haha I hear ya....a lot of us are in that same boat....step 1 is awareness :)
Sounds like you are heading in the right direction!!
You produce the best golf coaching videos on the web. No doubt in my mind. This one has me confused! Really surprised at the suggestion that there is never less than 60% of weight on the forward foot. Been playing for 31 years, 5 h/c. Struggling with the concept. How can you push off the right foot, if the left foot is already loaded? Have I been putting too much emphasis on weight shift? When I hit a bad shot, I’m ahead of the ball too soon. Ball starts right and fades. Having watched this, I can’t stop thinking about the ‘hitting shots with feet together’ drill.
I have taken to putting more weight on the front foot and going more the stack n tilt principle
I find in am getting better contact
Hey Flax!
The idea would be you start 50/50 to 55/45 left (with an iron when ball is on ground and trying to hit ball first)
Then there is a pressure shift to the right (away from the target).....but that is EARLY and done by about hip high in the backswing
From there really the pressure and hips start moving more back TOWARD the target so that by the top they re bak to 50/50 or slightly toward target

@@CogornoGolf Thanks for your reply. Greatly appreciated.
Aha I get it now. I was swaying and not moving my hip forward at all during back swing. My frail knee was way too bent also. As soon as I extended that trail knee and kept head still and hip move forward during going back it clicked.
Yes!
I need to work on this. Thanks Eric

Our pleasure Murphy!
Great video. Right sway kills my game several shots a round
Thanks Steve!
this is such a beautifully easy way to swing. steve keeps saying if he finishes right the rest of the swing HAD to work. that eliminates all the "clutter" in the brain. i have tried this this summer and i have issues with being too far left and on occasion fall back to the right. rrrrrrrrrr! i also get the feel at set up that the ball is way behind my head with a center ball position and the body tries to make corrections to get the clubhead back to the ball. what i get from this is that the legs form the "A" at the setup and the top then make all the movements from there on.
perhaps i need to only include the "finish" position" in my pre-shot routine?
:) Hope it helps Randy!!
I remember a video you did with Mike Malaska and he was saying how the hips move linear front to back and he never thinks about rotating the hips. This video has rotation and slide and looks a little stack and tilty, which one do you suggest or prefer?
Hey!
I would say that would be an oversimplification of the Mike video.
We were talking about the back and forth in that video compared to linear.
Of course there is linear. Everyone. Some more some less.
Mike, Steve, Myself and any other coach would suggest the off the ball movement should only be to the point that they can get back forward from.
Here is what I would suggest for hips for entire swing: czcams.com/video/sz652jg7nEw/video.html
@@CogornoGolf ok cool
I love Eric Cogorno videos but here I slightly disagree. Especially for elder people (like me) a small shift of the head to the right helps to get pressure to the lower body and thus start the downswing properly. Trying to keep the head 100% in the same place is prone to create reverse pivot. I don't mean a big shift but around 5 cm max.
All good, Peter! Thanks for the feedback!
I also am OK with the slight shift to the right....SO LONG as they get back left.
I see hundreds of golf swings every week and I see the majority of players who give off the ball never get back left enough (maybe 75-80%)
@@CogornoGolf SO LONG as they get back left. Yes that is the key thing! Thanks for the answer :)
Great stuff. Can you do a video on how to move the hips?
Check this one out!
czcams.com/video/OlZKqVytr0U/video.html
Briliant Video and had the same idea. Please do same video for driver.
Thanks! Will do!
How do you initiate the weight transfer moving forward? Is it through a turning of the hips? Or more of pressure from the feet and a straightening of the knee?
I would start by pushing down into left foot...
then pushing belt buckle FORWARD and UP and pushing off right foot
Like this: czcams.com/video/fJQn_FzVnjg/video.html
Good stuff here!
Thanks a lot!
Is Steve Stack and tilt? if not, what does he do that goes against that? An honest question not trying to point fingers, I've been playing around with stack and tilt techniques with keeping my weight forward throughout the swing and have noticed a lot more flush contact. thanks!
Every coach uses Stack and Tilt coaching principles to various degrees (whether consciously or not :) )
Seems better than my Top and Curse technique
Very helpful...but
How do you stay centered or have weight slightly forward when working on the chest rotation & extension on backswing
Its mainly due to the movement of the pelvis

Great video.
Thanks, Chris!
Great lesson guys, I have to say I really like your videos and great advice on how to improve and become a better golfer... Thanks guys.. 🏌️♂️👏😊👍
Appreciate it Brian! Thank you!
Love it!!!
Thanks!!
Question. Does his left knee point in front of the ball in backswing? I have always been instructed to try and point the knee at the ball with the left knee. Thanks
Wont be the same for everyone but generally the left knee will point just in front of the ball during backswing with just a touch of internal rotation as it increases bend
The knee right under the hip in line is a good reference!
Steve’s setup looks different more erect w rounded shoulders vs typical barstool setup - love the swing and centered focus w weight shift left!
Great swing!!
Volume seems low on your video shift and the downswing is not clear you said that as you start your downswing you should start shifting your way to the left other teachers teach at the top you should shift most of your weight to the left you also didn't cover how much lateral move on the downswing with rotation and didn't draw your lines it was not clear to me whether all of your weight should be on your left side before impact and is the weight to be transferred to the left leg and foot or the entire left side kindly advise Jack
Thanks for your thoughts and feedback JJ!
Eric, curious if you’ve seen the drill with The Hanger where you remove the lower half of the hanger, and the hanger runs horizontally instead of the vertical orientation?
It’s helped me as a right hand dominant golfer, a fault of mine can be overusing my right arm in backswing causing poor arm structure and corresponding compensations in the downswing. Anyway, one of my favorite training aids and the drill has really changed my Top of Backswing- I’ll prove it by joining Cogorno G 🤙🏻
Love the Sieracki Combo, coin flip on JT vs Sieracki Duo. Great stuff as always!
Haha appreciate it, Scott!
Not sure I have seen the horizontal version (having a hard time visualizing what you mean) but wouldn't surprise me if there are a lot of great other ways to use it!
Would love to have you as part of our group!
Hi Eric. Am I missing something here, or is this saying that the greater percentage of weight/pressure always remains on lead side throughout the backswing with irons? I thought that in the backswing the weight shifts to trail side up to maybe 70% and then back to lead side. Maybe I’ve got completely the wrong concept of weight transfer which could be why I struggle with solid contact on my irons and why my low point is behind the ball too often. Your answer could be a possible light bulb moment for me!
Thats correct, Tim!
Any of the weight shift to the right (away from target) is done by about 1/2 back in backswing
From there you do not KEEP shifting away from the target....you actually (weight in your feet) start working TOWARD the target as the hips turn and move toward target to the point where you are back to 50/50 ish or slightly toward target
More on that here: czcams.com/video/rmuQUEqkNiM/video.html
I completely understand your point here. Completely!
This works with the long irons
100%!
In other words keep the weight on the left from start to finish or did I get the wrong message? If I got it right, then for my entire golfing life I’ve been doing it wrong.
Haha yes that's ONE way.
We dont mind if you shift off the ball BUT the more you shift off the ball the harder it gets
Any shift should be done EARLY in backswing....more on parameters here

@@CogornoGolf played really well yesterday, keeping mindful of weight. Worked rather well on irons... driver is still tough road but 3 wood off the tee was fabulous. Hitting up on the ball remains a tough row to hoe!

So would there be any difference in the weight distribution for wedges and woods versus the irons?
A bit....talk more about that here:

Does this work for driver and fairway woods and hybrids or is the motion different
check this one out on driver vs iron differences with weight shift Chris

Doesn’t seem as if I can get my hip facing forward. Is is flexibility issue?
Hey andre! I'm not sure what you mean by hip facing forward?
You mean toward target?
Could be flexibility, could be a movement error, could be another swing issue earlier on preventing your brain from turning.
Would need to see on video.

It'd be great to see you grab a driver and see what the similarities are with weight shift in the driver's swing.
I think most people get confused between iron and driver, or iron and three wood.
For sure....we did one on that here you may like: czcams.com/video/bhZOWtgeD_w/video.html

I dont know how many on tour swing like this.
Is this more Stack and Tilt information
Hey George just some thoughts on weight shift!
Bro here’s what I don’t want, the hanger
Lol

8/8? We'll take it :)
A little more explanation of how to push belt up and forward would help. You keep saying “push” but do not say how. Are you saying to push up and forward using your right foot that only has minimal weight on it at that point. Thanks for the video Eric.
Sorry about that Scott!
Here are where I talk more details there

I like pushing belt buckle into chair like this:

He may come off that stick going forward which is ok if you subscribe to stack and tilt. However, top players measured by V1 and AMG with actually swings don’t do this. About 87% top 100 PGA players move “slightly back (yes sway) between 1-3 inches with average of 1.8. They start moving forward before the downswing returning to neutral and keep moving forward. But this is not indicative of what top players do. Thinks it’s important to understand advice that is evidence base. When the evidence doesn’t support the advice - it’s good to question it.
You sound like you know what you’re talking about Greg. But those words in that order make no sense whatsoever. 🤷

Not good to start your video with marketing crap. A real turnoff for a new person. You spend the first 3 minutes not saying anything useful to viewers. That is pretty bad.
