Eric, for 12 years I've had a horrible arms swing with almost no body turn or weight shift and after watching millions of youtube videos I was still flipping. It was only when I realised I need to have "dead arms" and use the body to swing when the light came on. In my view this video of yours is the perfect explanation of a basic golf swing. THIS is what instructors should be teaching in my opinion. Just wish I knew this 12 years ago. Thanks for the video
Better late than never my friend! Hope it serves you well---thank you!!
Thanks for the Shout Out! You’re a stud!
You got it, Milo. Thank YOU. Hope to catch up soon!
Another great video Eric! can't imagine not making this my go to warm up routine.
Thanks Freddy! Me too!!
for me this also helps to keep my head down and more "still" as well. Have been an arm swinging kinda guy for years. This is great! Thanks Eric and Milo!
Love it, Tim! Great routine here from Milo! We really like it!
Excellent! Well explained and clear. Get the body into the swing!
Yes! Thanks, Patrick!
Eric great video bro. Through your practical approach I have learned a lot and am swinging more confidently. I appreciate your work.
Appreciate it my friend! hope they continue to serve you well
Perfect for a warm up before a round!
Absolutely!
I recently came across that video you did with Milo and that’s gotta be a top 5 CZcams golf video for me. It’s so simple and makes the entire swing much easier to understand. Probably why it’s so effective since it’s easy to get lost in the details. As you mentioned, a square club face/good wrist conditions & solid arm structure at the top of the backswing are a must though if you’re going to start using the body to power the swing.
Thanks, Mitch! Milo is great!
Great video, Eric! I’m struggling with my making a full turn. This may help my swing thought. Thank you!
Hope it does my friend!
Brilliant! Fits perfect with my current shortcomings. I'm currently trying to get my body more involved but tend to make a lot of fat shots on the course. I think this drill is perfect for me. Thanks.
Appreciate it! Cool routine from Milo--happy to share! Hope it serves you well
eric, i've been practicing this with wiffle balls in the yard and now bringing it to the course. it's very consistent and solid when i get it going, still working on it. thnx.
Love it!
Love your swing! Will work on it. Thanks!
thanks!
This confirmed what I’m working on right now excellent video
Appreciate it, Paul!
This is also consistent with the Square to square methodology you posted a year back. Similar movement pattern. Great content.
Yessir! Thanks!
Great video. Noticed a while back that every pro has a slight body move towards the target prior to starting the downswing. Many before they even complete the backswing. After I fixed my incredibly inside takeaway and it started feeling natural doing that correctly, I started to use my body to start the downswing and that’s when a noticeable increase in distance happened immediately and effortlessly. I will say that for someone who was like me and had the inside takeaway followed by over the top...probably need to correct that first before working on this ;) I could be wrong though.
:)
I have found that if your hand, wrist, and arm positions are correct it "forces" or at least encourages body rotation! Just my experience. So, in my opinion, the goal can be accomplished from 2 different directions. One concentrate on rotating, letting the hands, arms and wrists follow OR establish and maintain the proper hand, wrist, and arm positions or conditions and rotate those conditions through. When I learned the correct right arm and wrist positions from delivery through impact and worked on them. I found that my core muscles were working harder (and they got sore). Basically, my opinion, if your arms, wrists and hands aren't "frailing" around, your body will take over to move them and the club through. If you get the right arm/elbow correct, it is virtually impossible to NOT rotate. You either rotate or break your arm. Of course all of this is just my opinion, I could be (and probably am) totally wrong!!!!!!!
Thank you for watching! :)
The beginning of this drill is a basic chip shot same technique. To much body for me I have a tendency to hit pull left shots so I have to remember to stay into the moment and not over do it, if that makes sense. Love what you do Eric, stay safe.
Appreciate it, John!
Brilliant drills
Thanks, Gordon! Awesome routine from Milo!
Best drill ever . Thanks.
:)
Great to see this again. Kudos for giving Milo credit! Only thing I prefer to do for me is grip it firm but keep the arms soft and the wrists limber. Too light grip pressure and I lose club face stability.
Appreciate it!
Hi Eric ..u used the word body 163 times in the video..totally point driven home😊
Lol I was going to an all time record!!!
That is great! Thanks!
Thank you sir! Fun video to be hitting more balls!
Eric "info" Cogorno. Great stuff man!
:) Thank you!
Great video
Thanks!
Good warmup drill!
Yessir
Hi Eric, another great video. Thank you. Do you hava any videos regarding shoulder turn/rotation in backswing but in detail like you do....thanks.
Thanks!
Yep---search my name and "shoulder turn"
You just saved my golf😊
:)
Just what I need to work on.
Hope it helps, Scott!
This is my favorite drill. One important thing to note is that you need to make sure that you don’t roll open the club face on the way back, as it activates your hands.
Thanks, Charles!
Cant wait to try this out. My biggest issue is always pulling the ball very slightly. I cant seem to figure out how to fix it correctly so im not hitting it left at the start, but rather straight or even a slight push. Im thinking this could help me out cause i feel like im lacking a bit of lower body control. Btw, im jealous of your swing, it looks so damn smooth.
Appreciate it! If you dont get it sorted consider www.cogornogolf.com you can send in swings and we can help fix....that should NOT be that difficult to fix just depends WHY.
I would start with ball position and setup alignments then swing direction second
Amazing Eric. Very effective lesson for me. Just one thing to ask if which body part start the downswing first ? Thanks
Answered on other one for ya!
Good morning Eric another great video I have been working on the body swing accuracy is fantastic but being a senior golfer distance is my biggest concern to get more clubhead speed my body will only move a certain speed should I try to move my arms and hands faster
Thanks, Jim! No problemo---can add arms and hands to this for sure! But still wanna get that body moving!
The clubhead squares itself
Love this Eric great video 👏👏
Appreciate it, Terry! Fun video for us doing a follow along! I got to hit some more balls :)
The 9 o'clock, 3 o'clock drill. Best drill to sync up your swing.
For sure!
I haven't really every tried this but I have a feelings this could fix my swing at the moment
Hope it helps!
Hey Eric, another great job. Ive been trying to be "more body" of late but finding I get a bit of hook on 4 and 5 iron. Short irons are great, I'm finding my accuracy has improved through the roof but just struggling with the long ones. Any comment or clue?
Hey Bob!
I do not know.
I would need to see your swing on video to offer any advice. Could be lots of variables involved. Just too many guesses I would be making.
If you ever want to send in your swing consider www.cogornogolf.com so we can see what's really going on. Still running 30 day money back guarantee
I like it and can see how beneficial this could be. One question though, what was your swing thought while doing the drill at the beginning? Was it focused on the target or was it focused on keeping you arms passive? Both?
My bet is your arms. If your mind is on your target it should be easier from the start.
MY swing thought was use all body and no arms
@@CogornoGolf yes that is more or less what I was saying. Same thing, not the target. This is what might make it more difficult at the beginning. You have to think of both target and body.
Hey Nelson. I do not think you need to think target when doing this.
Its an inherent goal. You are aware of your target but do not need to focus on it during mechanics training like this
@@CogornoGolf I hear you Eric. Thanks
Sorry I meant which body part starts the backswing first ? thanks
Here are the details on that:
czcams.com/video/_NWXYanwi10/video.html
czcams.com/video/fAZGLV2HpYs/video.html
Golf swing at 4:38 🔥
Not all heroes wear capes
:)
I started working on this today at the range. I find that it keeps me from pushing the ball left because my arms are not ahead of my body. The second benefit is not over doing it in my back swing. I am going waist high back but all the way thru forward. For whatever reason this keeps me swinging from the inside out.
👊Glad to hear this one is helping my friend! Thanks for watching!
Hi Eric will you be returning to Bethlehem CC This spring and summer or will you be remaining in Florida.? I was looking to get in person lessons from you
Hey Chris!
We will be back in Bethlehem but we are planning to continue doing 100% of our coaching online moving forward. Will let you know if anything changes!
@@CogornoGolf ok thank you
I was wondering if you have any recommendations on in person coaches in the South Jersey area since you are completely online now
Should you work this drill with longer clubs?
You can!
What is your feel when starting the downswing?
Me personally I feel my left side of my ribcage doing down and turning (because I have too much right side bend too early)
What you need to feel will be very dependent on where you are at top and your current downswing tendencies
Can you do a similar vid but with a driver?
Hey! We could--but not sure we will. It would be the same general message in terms of this specific topic.
Good setup, width on way back, head back for driver important

Does anyone keep shanking to the right?? I need help
Hey Maynard,
I think this video will help you out!👊
czcams.com/video/B8duKc_lcPQ/video.html
Would you do the same with a driver? That is where it is so evident to me that I am not using my body.
Yep with this czcams.com/video/7nB6xeVGaDI/video.html
@@CogornoGolf thanks Eric!
Shoulder rotation as the only swing thought is it for amateurs believe me, no weight shift, no underarm rotation, no hand action, no hip turn all this goes automatically with straight shots as a result
Thanks for watching, Adri!
Eric, looks like a lot, and by “a lot” I mean most, Tour players today are using more of a body driven swing with little to no wrist action, at least that’s what it appears. Am I wrong? What are some of the reasons that you don’t always agree with the buddy driven swing method as you mention early on in the video? It seems like you were pretty happy with the quality of your shots and the “feel goodness” of those shots. Are there any major detriments to having a more or predominantly body driven swing? Thanks 🙏, buddy!
Yes they do
Key part of this video....this is good IF......IF....IF.....you're club face and arms and hands are good to go.
90% of players I see have issues with club face, path, wrist angles, etc.
IF you don't fix those and do just this the odds of success are low.
Like taking steroids REALLY helps your physique but step 1 is you actually have to go to the gym
Body motion REALLY helps but you need to have the face/path/hands at least functional (go to the gym)
Sometimes I see videos and think “that’s a young mans swing”. What about seniors where flexibility may be a little more limited. Does this body swing age well? Any seniors out there?
It can fit all players!
We talk about some tweaks you can make if you dont have as much mobility here: czcams.com/video/Qyzd4WxdxDI/video.html
Already in Phase 2 you speeded up your hand faster than your torso. Hands don’t go the same speed with body in any hitting sport, there is no way adding speed that way. Hands can be relaxed once you learn the proper sequence, but they are certainly active always. Using the body consept comes more from the idea where you are clearly open at impact, to compensate that you have to drop your hand much more behind your body at downswing. Its’ more like a slingshot idea that way.
Appreciate the feedback, Kuka!
My biggest issue so far
Hope this one helps ya!
