Eric Cogorno breaks down exactly how the trail shoulder must move down toward the ground and forward toward the target to produce correct golf shaft lean, solid contact, and an inside-out club path — and demonstrates it live, hitting what he calls the best seven iron he could possibly hit using nothing but the right side oblique crunch and trail knee forward feel. Watch how Tiger Woods and Justin Thomas get the trail shoulder tilt steeper on the way down than on the way back — roughly 40 degrees in the backswing and 55 degrees through impact — and how the club across shoulders drill gives any golfer the same feel immediately. If you leave this video without trying the club across shoulders drill, you're leaving solid contact and correct golf shaft lean on the table. What You'll Learn: • Why the trail shoulder golf swing position going up and back in the backswing means it must go down and forward on the way down • How a high trail shoulder in the downswing creates a steep club path and causes you to come over the top • Why the trail shoulder must reach 55 degrees of tilt through impact — steeper than the 40 degrees in the backswing • How Tiger Woods and Justin Thomas use trail shoulder tilt to produce correct golf shaft lean and inside-out club path • The club across shoulders drill for training the correct amount of trail shoulder depth and forward rotation • Why the right-side oblique crunch and trail knee forward are the two key feels for getting the trail shoulder down correctly • How getting the trail shoulder down and forward moves the low point forward for better golf impact position and shaft lean • Why the trail arm staying slightly bent through impact prevents fat shots when the trail shoulder goes down correctly #trailshouldergolfswing #golfswingdrills #tigerwoodsgolfswing #golfshaftlean #justinthomasgolfswing #golfclubpath #golfimpactposition #golfdownswing #howtostopcomingoverthetop #ericcogorno _________________________ I may earn a small commission for my endorsement, recommendation, testimonial, and/or link to any products or services recommended on Eric Cogorno Golf sites.
