EXTENSION: The POWER GOLD MINE most golfers never learn
Tom Saguto explains the critical role of extension in unlocking the power of Bryson DeChambeau's famous arm-drop move. He demonstrates how most golfers fail this move by staying too 'down,' leading to fat shots or flips, and shows how to use a 'chest up' extension to create a whip-like impact.
Staying 'down' in the downswing is a major power leak that causes fat shots and loss of speed.
The Bryson DeChambeau 'arm drop' move requires chest extension to function correctly.
Extension means getting the chest up and open to create space for the arms to accelerate.
Visualize an axe chopper splitting wood to feel the correct relationship between extension and power.
Proper extension creates a shallow, powerful 'thud' at impact rather than a deep, speed-killing divot.
