This ONE Move Will Stop You Rushing The Downswing Forever

Eric Cogorno and Greg Jones break down the 'one move' to stop rushing the downswing: completing the backswing. Using the 'one-and-two' count and the gravity drop drill, they demonstrate how to transition from the top with patient hands. The video also introduces the 5-speed transmission concept to help golfers time their speed through the impact zone for effortless power.

• Rushing the downswing usually stems from failing to complete the backswing turn.
• Use the 'one-and-two' count to ensure the transition isn't rushed; 'and' represents the top of the swing.
• The transition should feel like a 'fall' of the arms rather than an intentional 'pull' or hit.
• Visualize a 5-speed transmission where maximum acceleration (gear 5) only happens through the hitting zone.
• Practice the Leapfrog Drill to learn how to add speed progressively without losing your tempo.
