The Moment I Realized I Figured Out My Golf Swing

Eric Cogorno demonstrates a three-level progression system designed to eliminate 'chicken-winging' and improve iron contact by straightening the arms through impact. By focusing on trail arm extension and natural rotation, golfers can create more width, hit down on the ball more consistently, and gain significant distance.

• Bending arms during the downswing causes narrowness and weak misses to the right.
• Straightening the trail arm through impact is essential for hitting the ball first and the ground second.
• The 'Elephant Trunk' feel helps golfers move the club in-to-out, which is then neutralized by body rotation.
• Keep your head back and lead shoulder down as you extend your arms to maintain proper geometry.
• Practice in three stages: Hip-high swings, shoulder-high swings, and then full swings.
