Eric Cogorno
If you struggle with pulls and slices, this drill from Eric Cogorno will be a game-changer. Grab an alignment rod and head to the range to dial in your swing path and make better contact.

Excellent tip for bump and run on a tight lie using a 9 instead of PW or SW
Needs to explain more about the stick (rod). I don’t understand
Watch again... everything was explained thoroughly. Copy exactly what you see and follow directions exactly as they're stated. If you don't know what the "stick" itself is, it's an alignment rod that can be purchased at any golf store
Love the drill. Have made several adjustments to avoid the over the top but this one is great
Have to definitely try this drill. I noticed you teed up that ball. Does this drill become harder if you don't use a tee ?
So height of the stick should be about the length of a grip then?
Thanks Eric.
All drills are harder without a tee because good contract is more difficult when the ball is on the ground. Being able to make better contact gives better feedback as to how well the drill is affecting ball reaction/ flight
Thank you Jim G.
What is your swing thought to keep the swing on an inside plane? Ben Hogan talked about swinging under glass that rested on his shoulders. What will put the club on the proper inside plane?
Thanks, Hank Willner
Great video keep them coming like this simple drills that work
Can this drill help your driver and fair way woods
Yes. It will keep your swing coming from the inside
Eric I definitely will do this one since i have been hooking since my return from injury. Thank you!
What an easy way to work on a proper path! Thank you for the drill!
Very interesting drill. I'm going to try this and if I am able to execute correctly, this should eliminate my hitting the ball toward the toe, correct?
