Love the video . Tiger changes his spine angle as he starts downswing and rotates his hips before bringing club to horizontal. This feels as though it is the shoulder hitting at the ball and not the arms. Tried it and hit every ball straight with a divot as it produced great lag. I found the right hit rotation was critical in getting great contact. Thanks for a great video again.

I’ll add my 2 cents. I’ve suffered from early extension and loss of balance for years because I tried to follow this formula (sort of). Your words are spot on but the missing link for me was learning to put pressure on my right heel BEFORE this movement. Once I did that, I got rid of early extension and I finished my swing like Rory. Perfect balance!

*You two are highly skilled KZread educators who can clearly comprehend your message to the viewers. However, it is important not to underestimate the impact of the efforts made by the lower half in adding that extra panache to the impact. It reminds me of a rhyme that highlights the balance between what rises and what falls. 😉*

This is really good! I think this will also help with my ground force issues; I tend to "push off" too late which necessitates my upper body to compensate. As for the comment of this being too complicated - I disagree. I don't like being partially informed. I like this format.

Appreciate it Claro!

I just took this to the range and the results were very positive. My two thoughts were “quadrant” which triggered my chest/ribs to move more outwards/down/angled to quadrant 1, and “under” which triggered my arms to drop more downwards and closer to my body. The result was I felt like I had more side bend than ever before, I felt like I wasn’t swinging as hard yet the ball travelled the same distance and even further in some cases, and my contact was solid 90% of the time. And when I tried to swing as hard as I typically do, the ball travelled 15-ish yards farther than normal…I typically hit my 7 iron 165 and I hit the 181 flag several times. Hoping the same results happen next time…. Thank you for the video.

Love to hear that! Appreciate you letting us know---always good to confirm the positive results!!

Love the video Eric! ❤ Getting my ribs/shoulder forward is something I’ve working on with my teaching pro. I tend to get my left hip beyond the ankle and then I “spin” with my weight still on my trail side. One thing I would liked to have seen included in your video is the role of the shift in pressure in the feet to facilitate the movement of the ribs and shoulder. I’ve been working with a pressure plate / balance board to help me rewire my feels and the key movement for me has been to “roll” the outside of my right foot slightly up as I’m beginning the transition. The video of Tiger shows a slight movement and it looks like in your swing, you’re doing the same? Would love your thoughts on shifting pressure in the feet to facilitate the start of the downswing. Thanks!

Great tip. Whenever I practice moving body into quadrant 1 on the downswing the issue I have is I chunk the ball. I tend to be over the top with my swing so I’m thinking that maybe my arms aren’t dropping enough behind me now that my body is moving more forward.

@CogornoGolf

Could be Michael....yeah I would have to see I would check 1. You have enough body rotation (pelvis and ribcage open more) 2. Shorten trail arm/trail wrist (keep trail arm more bent and trail wrist more bent back) the more down the body goes.....something else needs to shorten (trail arm and wrist) I go over that here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/d6h7tMhsdra_Y5c.html&pp=ygUWRXJpYyBDb2dvcm5vIHN0YXkgZG93bg%3D%3D

Hi Eric you are saying that the first move on the downswing transition is to move the sternum over the left foot or left side over the left foot by the time left arm is parallel I thought the first move is the transfer weight and the rotation of the left hip back can you clarify thanks for your help kindly advise Jack

@CogornoGolf

You want to feel ALL of it moving.... From the top until about left arm parallel Weight to left, left knee down and forward, left hip down/forward/around, around, rigcabe down/forward/around.....sternum the same.....everything This is only that first like foot tho....head goes forward too. With driver head stays more back Check this: kzread.info/dash/bejne/rKWj2sp6kdfcYbg.html

Hey! I hear ya....exaggerating here to really how the motion. With irons the head should move down and forward SOME.....from about the top of the backswing until left arm parallel in the downswing....then it stays there through impact until arms parallel in follow through

By lagging the club head in the downswing, we force ourselves to rotate in order to get the club head down to the ball.

For sure---its more a FEEL than REAL....

Don't love this one... couple of concerns: 1. This movement encourages moving towards the ball = BAD 2. Promotes hands getting "stuck" behind you = BAD Getting in a more forward position only works if you're also keeping your head steady through impact. I think you really need to emphasize the relationship between your hips/torso and head position. If your head follows this forward movement too much, you're going to be very inconsistent.

Hey @TML thanks for the feedback---I hear ya! I think what we were saying here is that most golfers move AWAY from the ball too much....... And their hands go OUT too much....... So if that's true (away from ball with body and out with hands)...... They would need to FEEL......FEEL.....these pieces.......just to get to neutral. Sorry I didn't explain that better in video.

You know right away how simple you need to make it based on the persons questions and feedback...you can tailor the message to one person. But online if 30,000 people watch it...then what do you do? 10,000 want it more simple 10,000 want it as it is 10,000 want even more details So what gives? :) So I've decided we try and ride the middle ground to best we can. Anyway---just thinking outloud....open to any feedback to keep making these better for you guys!
