Correct Early Extension - Drill For Early Extension - Golf Fitness Tips

Early extension causing you to have inconsistent shots?

If you do, you're not alone! Around 70% of amateur golfers will early extend in their swing. Early extension can be a killer for your game, as it can cause power leaks, which means less distance on your shots. If you do early extend, odds are you probably hit hooks to the left and blocks to the right (if you're a right handed golfer and just the opposite if you're a lefty).
If you're not sure, early extension is when a golfer thrusts their hips closer to the ball during the downswing. This causes a lack of space of where your hands should go in the swing. You'll likely either come over the top or flip your wrists to get the clubhead to the ball.
