The One Move That Transforms Your Entire Golf Swing In Minutes
Eric Cogorno from Performance Golf demonstrates a transformative drill focused on full-body rotation and extension through impact. By using a lead-arm-only extension technique, golfers learn to coordinate their knees, hips, and shoulders while maintaining head position and proper shoulder tilt. This approach helps eliminate the common 'chicken wing' error and ensures more consistent, solid ball striking.
Master the '90-90-90' checkpoint: ensure knees, hips, and shoulders are all rotated 90 degrees toward the target in the follow-through.
Keep the head back and behind the ball line during the rotation to maintain proper extension and prevent lunging.
Ensure the trail shoulder stays down throughout the rotation to maintain the body's distance from the ground (side tilt).
Full rotation is the prerequisite for keeping arms straight past impact; you cannot fix a 'chicken wing' without turning the body.
Practice the drill in three micro-parts: rotation, extension (head back), and side tilt (shoulder down).
