Early extension is defined by the hips moving toward the ball in the downswing, causing a loss of posture.
Using a chair or bag as a physical 'wall' provides instant feedback if your glutes move away from their original position.
During the backswing, the trail glute should maintain contact with the object; during the downswing, the lead glute should take over that contact.
Maintaining hip depth creates the necessary 'room' for the arms to swing through the impact zone without flipping the wrists.
Consistent practice with this drill helps transition from 'humping the ball' to a professional-style pivot.
