Early extension
Early extension—hips moving toward the ball and the chest rising in the downswing—disrupts body rotation, challenges low point control, and creates the tendency to have an unstable release. These videos teach pelvic depth, chest-height control, and how hip turn is spine turn, so you time the release, keep the club in front, and strike it solid, with drills like Neck Bracing, Pivot Wall Slides, and Band Resisted Early Extension.
- Restore rotation—Hula Hoop Pivot + Chest Turning Through the Ball—for smoother sequencing and speed.
- Stabilize head/torso—Forehead on the Wall + Neck Bracing—for cleaner contact.
- Keep pelvic depth—Butt Fingerprint + Pelvis Track—for squarer impact and consistency.
- Power the trail leg—Resisted Trail Leg Buckle + Trail Leg Back 45—to reduce thrust and tighten dispersion.
Start watching now to fix early extension and turn your downswing into consistent, on-plane strikes.
