FIX your EARLY Extension by SIMPLY improving your POSTURE and BACKSWING! Similar to various challenges encountered in the golf swing, many problems stem from precursory factors PRIOR to the club’s backward motion.

(01) POSTURE

The POSTURE is the CAST through which the swing is POURED! This student had little to no chance of maintaining his pelvic depth because he was out of balance at address! In this context, early extension becomes a NECESSITY to uphold balance throughout the downswing.

Additionally, the posture has a considerable impact on the SHAPE of the backswing. It’s essential to establish a posture that grants permission to remain “IN” the shot through impact. An excessively STEEP or (in this case) FLAT path can lead to EARLY EXTENSION requirements in order to make contact at all!

(02) BACKSWING

The BACKSWING possesses a sequential nature, a facet often overshadowed by the emphasis on sequencing during the downswing.

A common error is DRAGGING the club head back at a pace identical to the body’s movement. Consequently, the body reaches its destination prematurely, while the hands and arms lag behind or RUN OFF at the top! This results in an overly flat orbit for the club, with the club too far behind the body!

(03) HIP DEPTH

To counteract early extension, consider implementing the “FLAT-FOOTED DRILL.” Many golfers shift their weight in an attempt to strike down on the ball, inadvertently causing the opposite outcome. The “flat-footed drill” involves ANCHORING the trail foot, which in turn STABILIZES the pelvis, preventing the right side from thrusting toward the ball during the swing. This adjustment can significantly REDUCE early extension tendencies.

Remember you have to address the CAUSE to change the EFFECT in golf. Many golfers focus predominantly on early extension without comprehending that, at times, early extension becomes a PREREQUISITE for establishing contact. Within this concise presentation, I hope you find valuable insights to enhance your own golf game.

Thanks for watching and GET AFTER IT!
