Let’s talk about what early extension is and then I’ll go over how you can fix it.
Early extension means that when I get to impact, my pelvis and hips from the top will kick in towards the ball. My chest gets farther from the ground and my arms straighten out.
To fix early extension, we don’t need to take OUT the extension, we need to add an element in. You are not actually trying to eliminate the extension.
It’s called EARLY extension. How do you fix early extension? You put the extension in LATER. For me to go from extending early to extending later, the key piece that’s missing is rotation. The idea here is that the from the top of the backswing, you want to rotate first, extend second. Rotation comes first. You need to add rotation. You can do it before you do the extension.
For the feel and the drill, I want you to imagine you have an arrow pointing straight forward from your belt buckle. When you early extend, that arrow continues to point straight forward. I want that arrow to point not just towards the target, but also left of the target. I don’t want to extend towards the ball. I don’t want to extend towards the target. I want to extend actually to the left of the target.
WhenI do it right, I feel much more open at impact relative to normal. I feel like a tightness in my left hip and I feel like my hips are more back than normal.
You don’t want to get rid of extension. If you early extend, you simply want to extend the later. That means you have to rotate more first. Extend towards the target and up and to the left of it. That will fix it.
