Learn how to stop standing up in the golf swing and achieve consistent contact by keeping your right side down—not your chest. In this golf lesson, Eric Cogorno explains the key to maintaining proper body inclination through impact for better ball striking.
What You’ll Learn:
• How to stop standing up in the golf swing by maintaining proper body inclination to the ground throughout the downswing
• How to stay down in golf swing using your right side (shoulder, hip, knee) rather than trying to keep your chest down
• Why the common “keep chest over the ball” advice actually prevents proper rotation and causes you to get stuck
• How the right shoulder works in the golf swing by staying closer to the right hip through impact while the chest rotates toward the target
• The split hand grip “hockey drill”—one of Eric Cogorno’s favorite golf drills for feeling the correct right side crunch sensation
• How PGA Tour players like Max Homa, Justin Thomas, and Tiger Woods maintain their right side position for better compression
• The connection between body distance from the ground and release pattern for consistent contact in golf
• Why standing up forces you to prematurely straighten your right arm and wrist, causing poor shaft lean and inconsistent strikes
• How to shorten your swing radius by keeping your right arm and wrist bent through impact for solid golf lesson results

When you take your setup, I want you to slide your right hand down where it’s just past the grip on the club and hold it out in front of you like this, where the butt of the club’s about even with the golf ball. Let’s make a back swing where your hands like to get to about hip high. And then from this position, I want you to get down to the golf ball. To the golf ball. So, normal setup like this, slide the right hand down, the grip, hold it right in front of you. Back up to about hip high. and then take that and get that down to the golf ball. And the beautiful thing about this drill is that it really helps you feel that trail side working down. The reason it works, if I bring it up in front of me, as soon as I take my setup and I slide my right hand down the grip, notice where the club head is relative to the golf ball. It’s up about an inch or two. And what that means then is as I swing, assuming I stay about the same height on the way back, I’ve got to actually lower some on the way down. Right side works down and through. Right arm and right wrist feel bent.
