This is a great video because it confirms there is a blend of rotation and sliding, then extension. I am finding that, when playing 18 holes in the blistering heat here in North Carolina, I will get fatigued to the point where all I'm doing is sliding and my game totally erodes. I'm working on this drill with my hanger, so I'm hitting several key points all at once while singling slowly to exaggerate the feel. Thanks Eric! 🤟

Eureka moment. I had the slide without the turn and tried to fix the slide only. The key is to shift both upper and lower body and then focus on turn and extension to get belt buckle up and to the left. You'll see a big increase in smash factor with less effort. If you don't shift, it's hard to consistently make ball first contact.

KZread just always surprises me with these crazy coincidences. I was literally working on this exact thing today on the range. I’ve got way too much slide (to the point where I look like I have jangly knees pointing to the left) and way too little hip turn. I worked on feeling like I push my left hip socket back and extending / straightening my left leg on the down swing, which is helping me turn my hips a lot more. For the life of me I couldn’t get shaft lean at impact before, but now all of a sudden I can. It’s all in the hips!

The funny thing is, even if you don’t get the rotation piece right, as long as you shift both up and lower body (so you’re not just bumping hips and dropping right shoulder back) you’d probably still be better off because you’re moving the lowpoint forward. Without the rotation you might be prone to a hook miss but your compression will be so much better. Such a great video. Look at how much every tour player shifts forward. Its amazing a lot of ams feel afraid to “slide.”

Great video. After playing for decades in which various coaches and magazines would explain a turn and that swaying was causing heavy contact. Nonsense, it was poor wrist angles and poor pivot. I found this out when I researched youtube on how to move low point forward to get ball then turf contact and evidnced it with screen recordings of elite players such as Rory marking lines on their hips at set up and end of swing and moved the recording back and forth like you have Eric. I have stopped trying to shallow the club and started working purely on proper contact and pivot - moving low point ahead of the ball which has worked wonders. STRIKE IS KING.

So I lost my golf swing for a month! I usually score in the 90's and for the past month I have been thinning, chunking, pulling, slicing all my shots, I was so frustrated I don't know what I was doing wrong all of a sudden everything went downhill, all month I became a mad man and start to lose my temper, so this morning I got my 7 iron and I was practicing just to brush the floor and I was still chunking and thinning, so I kept on swinging the club I dont know how many swings I did until I felt this slide feeling, then I realized that this was the missing piece because all that chunking and thinning the ball was gone in a matter of minutes, but still I did not believe that this sliding was the cure to my problems, so I doubted my self and I went to my local golf course to try this sliding move, 1st tee off the blue, right off the bat my shot was dead straight, 2nd shot was a 6 iron 180yards and again it was straight like an arrow landed into the green! Did 2 putt and managed to par the hole. I wish I would have seen this video before hand. It would of fixed everything in a matter of time. 🤦 Still thanks to this video proving that this was really my missing piece.

Hi Eric, you are one of my favourite instructors and so I'm really not trying to catch you out...but in July 2018 you posted a video entitled 'How To Get The Slide Out Of Your Golf Swing', in which you give a number of drills to 'get rid' of the slide. In Drill 2 you recommend setting up an alignment stick 'about 2 inches' outside your lead hip and trying not to touch it with the hip as you hit the ball. Now you're talking about trying to make sure you DO hit a stick 8 inches outside the hip! So - has something changed in your view of what is best?! (I do see how the slide has to go with more turn...but trying to turn more is rather different to trying to slide less...isn't it?!

@CogornoGolf

3 жыл бұрын

Hey Ken! Appreciate the support and question. No, my view has not changed. That video from two years ago was titled "How To Get The Slide Out Of Your Golf Swing'" as you mentioned....so the intent was for someone who has TOO MUCH slide. Notice in this video when I explain you shouldn't hit the stick with your HIP right? Hit it right BELT BUCKLE. So you can UNDERDO and OVER DO everything. Thats why I will need to do a video to show someone to fix a slice but learning to hook it left. In the next video I will need to teach someone to fix TOO MUCH hook but feeling slice things. Hope that helps explain it.

Another great video Eric. One thing you didn’t speak to (which I noticed in the slow motion replays of Adam Scott’s swing and your swings) is the need to keep the head stable over or just behind the ball as you’re shifting and turning up to impact with the ball. Any thoughts on how to ensure you make this happen before you start to extend past impact?

Moving hips forward or sliding is essential as you say to a good golf swing. In my view if you did not move your hips forward or slide lower body if you will to start the downswing (Transition), you could never move the bottom of your swing arc forward and never get ball turf contact (that is my swing issue in a nutshell). Your point is so important.

That's a really GREAT point, so maybe my 6" slide isn't so bad if I could complete my turn. However, it seems the really long hitters like Rory don't slide so much, and it seems the reason is they are pushing up and back with front foot giving them lot's of ground force and snap. I think we remove that option for pushing back when we slide past the front foot like I do. Maybe a great turn gives enough speed, but a push "back" appears to really help.

Took this idea to the course today, finally got some crisp iron shots off the tee. Unfortunately, off the fairway I simply blade/top the ball, consistently.

I've long had a problem getting my weight forward but despite viewing a number of videos from various instructors, giving the same general advice, this one seemed to click with me. Of course it's only one time. BTW, as far as I'm concerned, this lesson could easily fall into the S&T camp; stay centered over the ball, slide forward, drop club, then rotate and extend through. Certainly many elements of S&T.

I bet ! Over the last couple of years I've found your checkpoints very useful to get back to as after a period of playing without drilling, the bad habits start creeping in

I think my problem with the hip slide is my head slides forward too. I probably need to work on my body's flexibility as well as slide, rotation, extension.

Hey Ron! As the hips slide you need tilt to the right or right side bent to accompany this to keep your body tilted over and head back....and a little extension (chest up) kzread.info/dash/bejne/dXmn2rOyqLCzj9o.html kzread.info/dash/bejne/aaSWzaeudJO0mag.html kzread.info/dash/bejne/mpanqtp8Y8Wvp5c.html kzread.info/dash/bejne/opatvNKihNG0nLw.html

@@CogornoGolf Hi again Eric, I think you've identified my main problem. Imagine a fire hydrant doing a quarter turn to the left while holding a golf club. That's my swing. :) I will check out the videos you kindly referenced here and try to incorporate their lessons into a 'new swing philosophy' with an emphasis on the tilt factor. Flexibility matters. Thanks again for all the great videos, cheers from Aus and keep well.

It feels like sliding, but you combine it with turn so it isn't a slide.

Thats it :)

Is this the same for driver?

Yes!

Does it matter how you get to the end hip position? As I see it, someone like GG focuses more on the turn first rather than the lateral move, but it looks to me like the end position is the same. Or am I misunderstanding something?

Hey John, I would say it matters LESS "how" and matters more that you DO. If our end goal is 4.... Some might like 2+2...others 3+1.....1+3.....but 4 is 4. I see this the same way. If you get there.....we can look into the "optimal" ways after.

@@CogornoGolf I like your analogy, thanks.

Am I looking at this wrong, or does your extending up and forward, not seem like you are coming out of the shot? The old swing teachers always told us to go down and through the shot. So I am trying to wrap my head around this.

Hey! Nope...you "stay in it" with side bend or right. So you EXTEND (stand up) but you will be tilted to the right (side bend) More explanation on that here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/o5VtypuBYciYXZs.html kzread.info/dash/bejne/aaSWzaeudJO0mag.html
