How to stop early extending. @TropicanaEntertainment
Manolo Teaches Golf provides a high-energy lesson on fixing early extension by utilizing an 'imaginary wall' drill. By focusing on 'dragging the ass' along this wall during the downswing, golfers can maintain their posture and deliver more power into the back of the ball.
Early extension occurs when the hips move toward the golf ball during the downswing, ruining the impact position.
