In Part 1 of this video series on how to fix early extension, we're diving deep into what causes early extension and how our setup plays a crucial role. Many of us were taught to hinge from the pelvis, but that can lead to imbalance and early extension. Instead, let's work on a setup that maintains balance and allows us to counterbalance the spine. I'll show you a helpful drill to rewire those patterns and improve your posture and swing.

Just want to say I’ve watched a million videos on this issue.. this is by far the best and most helpful one I’ve found.. broke 80 for my 2nd time ever using this .. Trevor is the best instructor on RUclips hands down 👍
Greatly appreciate this!!! So cool to hear! Keep it up and let me know if you need anything!
I can send second that. I have had multiple back surgeries, so anything spine related in golf has always caused me issues and your description of how the spine should work was a light bulb moment for me. 👌
Finally! Someone that is actually explaining and fixing the goat hump correctly and not another video claiming “how to fix early extension with a chair or trying to sit down.
Thank you! Appreciate the feedback
This simple setup tweak translated immediately onto the course. So many instructional videos dig right into the mechanics: spine tilt, shaft lean, clearing the hips, etc. All valid, but if you're like me, none of that was going to work because I was too forward of center and I was getting trapped. Most of us weekend warriors just need a little reset to get back to basics sometimes. Thanks for this.
We all need to understand starting point and destination! Completely agree!
Beautiful lesson on the actual bio mechanic of the setup...❤
Can’t thank you enough for watching! Hope it is helping and let me know how it works for you! Appreciate the support!
TS you mad me feel stupid but enlightened me, which is far more important.
Hope this helps you! Thanks for the comment and appreciate you watching! Let me know if you ever need anything!

Trevor - I am a three handicap golfer and have taken consistent lessons for I don’t want to say how many years. I have fought early extension my whole life.. thanks to this video. I finally had my aha moment.. I wish I could express the gratitude that I have for you and the way you explain the Golf swing. I just wanted to point out that it was the stance I was using was all wrong. Slightly bending my knees and bending from the chest, I finally became balanced for the first time. I only mention this because I know that there are thousands of guys just like me that have the same problem I was always taught to Bend from the waist and unfortunately, I was top-heavy. So a major shout out to you for your teaching ability. Johnny Dragon.
Thanks so much for the kind words and really glad this has helped you out more!!! Messages like this are what really make teaching the greatest job on the planet!
Thank you again for sharing and please let me know if you ever need anything or have any questions!

Exceptional; none better. Great appreciation for your talent and ability to communicate clearly.
Appreciate it my man! Thank you much! 👊👊👊
Dude thanks to Eric I found your channel. You are an amazing teacher.
Thank you much! Greatly appreciate the kind words and feedback! Let me know if you ever need anything!
This is the best ‘early extension’ vid out there.
Explained superbly.
Thanks for this.👌
To the range!!
Thank you!!!
Love this. Definitely going to practice this as early extension is my biggest struggle! Thanks for putting this out. Excited for more!
Thank you for the comment and feedback! Appreciate it! Going to do some more videos on early extension causes and how to combat it my upcoming vids!
The point about the body's median line and how that's the most natural balance point is so great, and I've never heard it before. For once a physiology-based golf tip makes sense! Thank you sir
Love it! Glad this resonates with you! Appreciate the comment and feedback!
I am what they call advance senior player. Always struggled with early extension . This was the best detail that has really resonated with me. I am a visual learner ,this was both visual and theoretical. Very thankful for this video. I have included this in my practice sessions . I have honestly picked up some good compression in my ball striking. I can hear the golf ball swishing down the fairway now. I do refer back to this video before I practice especially to check my set up. Peace.
Thanks so much for sharing and I appreciate the feedback and glad this helped! Let me know if you ever have any questions!
Stumbled upon this googling early extension. Most useful vid I've found on the topic both in terms of content but also ur doing a great job explaining. Wish you the most success !!
Thank so much! I hope this helps and please feel free to reach out if you have any questions on it! 👊👊👊
This is exactly what I’ve been looking for. All the drills in the world haven’t helped. I need to know the biomechanics of why I keep standing up and coming off the tush line in transition.
Thanks Trevor👍
Thanks for the feedback! Greatly appreciate it! Hope this helps and let me know if you need anything!
Good job with the details here Trevor. Keep up the great work
Thank you!! 🙏🙏🙏
Excellent!! Have NEVER heard about bending forward at lower chest rather than at pelvis. This change of axis on where to flex forward is a game changer allowing pelvis to move freely and eliminating lumbar strain. keep up the great instruction
Thank you! Greatly appreciate this! Hope it helps and thanks for the comment and feedback!
Hell yeah dude, you’re like the Vice rep for RUclips golf coaching. My new coach for sure. Love the teaching style, very clear and puts accountability on me.
I might just give you money tbh.
Thank you so much for the comment and kind words here! Means a lot! Accountability and comprehension is very important for the player to continue developing and getting better at this game! Big piece of the community I launched is simply how to structure your practice! HUGE!!!
Thanks again for this and if you ever need anything, please don’t hesitate to reach out!

Appreciate it! 🙏🙏🙏
This has just saved my life. Big thank you for this simple explanation.
You got it! 👊👊👊
Great video! I watch plenty of videos and you’re the first to discuss this. Thank you!
I’m not the only one to be fair but I do appreciate the comment and feedback here! I hope this helps and let me know if you have any questions! 👊👊👊
Makes a ton of sense! Thank you!
Thank you!!! Hope this helps and let me know if you ever need anything!
Fantastic video, truly spot on, Thank you for taking your time to do these!!
Thanks for watching! Hope this is helping understand how and why things work better! Appreciate the feedback!
This is the best video i've seen on early extension.
Thank you!!
🎉I’ve always wondered if my “posture” was correct- even though I didn’t know it was causing my early extension. So this video feels like a Lightning bolt igniting multiple light bulbs in my mind! Great video thank you! 🙏
So great to hear this helped! Thanks a bunch for sharing! Let me know how it works out and if you have any questions!
Crazy good concept and explanation here Trevor. Never seen anyone bring this idea into early extension but it makes a lot of sense!

Never seen set up explained like this, real eye opener
Thank you! There are other coaches teaching this now as well but I’m glad this was eye opening to you! Let me know if you have any questions on this!
Look forward to your videos every week. Great stuff my man
Thanks my man! Appreciate your support and feedback! 👊👊👊
I think I now know what my iron problem is.Never realized that I have been early extending. Can't wait to try this tomorrow at the range in a mild easy manner. No savage hevey efort to get there immediately.
Let me know how it goes and if you need anything or have any questions!
My man…. Just found your content and early extension is my biggest problem with the driver. Put the ball under my feet and filmed myself. Figured out I was slightly outside with my takeaway and was standing up. This drill may have just changed my golf swing because I was finally able to swing freely. Ball speed jumped from 156 to 165. Center strikes way more often. Thank you for this. You got a new subscriber.
So cool to hear!! Thank you much for sharing here! If you ever need anything or have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out!
Really good information Trevor I’m subscribing today! Thanks for sharing your time and expertise!🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for the feedback and support! Appreciate it! Let me know if you need anything!
Wow! What I noticed is core activation as soon as I did it and much more stable through the swing. Also noticed less discomfort from sciatica issue. Brilliant
So great to hear! Thank you much for sharing and the feedback! Means a lot! Let me know if ever need anything or have any questions!

Great coach. Has helped me with my swing and early extension.
Happy to help and glad this made sense! If you ever have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out!
never heard before about this aspect of set up. it is obviously critical.
awesome instruction !
Thank you so much! Hope this helps and let me know if you have any questions! 🙏🙏
Top heavy, what a term that describes my setup. Midline, is another term that resonates with me. I’ve subscribed. Wonderful descriptions.
So great to hear! Thanks for sharing and I really appreciate the feedback!
Let me know if you need anything or have any questions!
Great lesson - needed that. I'm always over-rotating or feel out of balance on my follow-thru (partly because of my swing speed).
Balance is a HUGE piece of the puzzle and to maintain it dynamically! Glad this helped you and please let me know if you ever have any questions or need anything!
Trevor, once again, great job explaining the feels that will help eliminate early extensions! I’ve suffered from EE in my swing and can’t wait to implement these drills.
Thanks for the feedback and support! Let me know how the feel and drill goes for you and if you need anything!
@@tsgolf I will, thanks.
wow this is so helpful and so well broken down! thank you

Love this video , felt myself slipping back into this old habit and standing up “early extension “ will definitely try this in practice with some video checks 👍🏻👏🏻💪🏼
Thanks! Hope this helps and let me know if you need anything or have any questions!
TS golf, thanks for this very informative video on early extension (E Ext), which is something i have always struggled with for my golf swing. Early in a round i do a good job of being aware of E Ext but as I get tired later in the round, it difficult to keep under control.
That is where rehearsals become viral and the pace at which you do them! Start with super slow ones and gradually work it up to a playing pace rehearsal before pulling the trigger!
great instruction. thanks
Thank you! Appreciate the feedback! Let me know if you ever have any questions!
Superb lesson
Thank much! 🙏🙏🙏
great lesson. thanks.
Thank you! Appreciate the feedback! 🙏🙏
This was great! 🙏🏽

Genius! Thank you!
You got it! Thanks for the comment
Great content! Am struggling with same forward bend issue
Thank you! Approve the feedback and support! 🙏🙏
Great break down
Thank you! Appreciate it!
Great tips
Thank you!!!
Worked today on the pelvic tuck to get into posture vs being top heavy as you discuss. It feels like starting a crunch exercise to come down into posture. Been struggling with other things, and not addressing this posture problem. Back to ground zero. Didn't have time at lunch to get video analysis, but while keeping my core engaged, I struck the ball much better. Cheers!
That’s so great to hear! Glad to hear you helped you with your ball striking! If you need anything else, please let me know!
First class instruction

Fellow PGA pro here. This bloke is a gun. World class
Thank you much! Greatly appreciate it! If you ever need anything or just want to chat about the golf swing, please do reach out! Thanks again!
Great video showing early extension. When I have bad rounds I think this is my main issue. 12 handicap been golfing 1 yr 6mo. and best round is a 80. I've been trying to pinpoint all the issues on my bad days and just play golf when I'm hitting it well
Thank you much! Appreciate the feedback and I hope this helping from an education standpoint! Let me know if you ever need anything!
Very helpful
Thank you!!
Thanks, Trev! 👏🏼💪🏼
You are very welcome! Thank you!
@@tsgolf I can’t tell you. I made that comment before I just spent a couple of hours in the simulator. Played heaps of the usual unreliable formation. Then with 10 minutes to go, I changed formation encouraging upper body power to lead more. For the first time ever, I had total control with less effort than ever before. It was crazy easy. What a breakthrough. The angst for months shed away. Thank you, Sir!
Can't wait to try this on the range soon!
Let me know how it goes and if you have any questions or need anything!
@tsgolf Thanks! So should I try to maintain a posterior pelvic position throughout the swing?
Great video Trevor!!! very explanatory. When rehersing and reproducing impact postion do you have to feel your weight mostly on the left heel?
Thank you! The weight will eventually move the direction of the heel most likely by the finish position! Thanks for the comment
Well dang. Never heard any of this except Eric Cogorno mentioning how to stand. Seems like this would be in everyone’s instruction to start from the basics. Maybe you should teach the teachers because you have solved in 13 minutes a fundamental flaw in my swing that causes two serious faults- weight staying back and follow thru balance. Between you and Eric C, heck I might get back in the mid 70s after an 18 year pause.
This is why I started doing RUclips content. I thought there was some key information that really need to be put out here. Glad this one help, and let me know if you need anything or have any questions!
Great tips. No one talks about balance
Counterbalance and balance in general is HUGE!!!! Hope this helps and let me know if you need anything!
I love your content, it's the perfect blend of mechanics, feels, and the explanations why. Also, I can feel alot of The golfing machine in your teaching... did you ever study that? Either way, wish you were in Michigan, I'd sign up for a lesson immediately.
Also, do you happen to have any takeaway videos or bunker shot vids ? Just curious. Thanks again!!!
Thanks so much for the kind words! Greatly appreciate it! If you are ever in the Miami area, I’d love to have you out to Turnberry. I also go to NY in the first few weeks of July!
I do offer online sessions as well! Would be more than happy to help you this way as well!
I’ll attach a link for everything else from free consultation calls, online sessions, etc.

graet video man
Thank you much! I appreciate it!
please upload short video about how you hit with all the clubs.. behind and side camera. I love to watch your hitting style, it is so techable
I’ll work on that for you and see if I can get in posted here in future content!
Thank you!
@@tsgolf You are so kind ! Thank You so much !!!! :)
It works
👊👊👊
Nice job my man!!!😏

Hi Trevor great video does the irangemini come as a complete unit (antenna & unit you push into ground). Thank you
It doesn’t come w/ the antenna. We are working on a product that won’t break as easy as the antenna does. If you order an antenna on Amazon and get a metal puck glued to it.
Let me know do you have any questions or so can help you with/ the product! My discount code is : TSGOLF
Best quote: "I'm not going to go at Mach 10 because I'm probably going to do the same stuff that I used to do..." Great video/great teaching!! Thank you very much.
Thank you much! I greatly appreciate it! Appreciate the comment and feedback! 🙏🙏
This was such a good video and added so many interesting points to fixing this swing fault however as a +4,5 handicap pro who has forever struggled with early extension I do have a few deeper dive questions related to this. First of all this video spoke exactly to me because I definitely leverage the lower part of my spine… that is I flex the muscles in that area to help me feel like it’s solid and stable throughout the swing. But i am also wondering if early extension is actually necessarily a bad move in the golf swing. Some (a few) of the worlds best golfers seem to do it (Tyrell Hatton). I have always felt that tensing the lower back and core muscles helps create a lot of stability in the golf swing despite the bum moving off its original position on a vertical line. My question really is why we think keeping the bum and head on its original position is actually an optimal position to be in at impact? Is it just because it seems to make sense and looks nice. Just to be slightly contrarian I think if you have early extension and you’re repeating that same move consistently, your body will naturally find compensations but so long as you’re doing that (swing fault) consistently then you will be fine and produce solid results.
Thanks for this message and the detail in it! I personally see this as being able to help people who struggle with safety and back issues as well. Having give in the spine at address allows us to work into good posture at impact when the club is moving its fastest.
If you are a player that can time the extension of the spine and coordinate the release pattern / timing of the trail arm, GREAT! My only thing I’d say is this works and can as long as there isn’t to much lumbar extension through the ball and it can turn into more thoracic extension. Placing a lot of pressure on the lumbar spine is where I think a lot of injuries to L4-L5 come into play.
Happy to discuss this with you anytime you’d like! I really enjoy conversations like this. Feel free to book a consultation call time with me if you’d like to dive deeper into it!
Thanks,
TS
Love the Swedish color outfit 🇸🇪🎉😂 and great info as usual of course
Thank you much! If you like the outfit, make sure to check out REDVANLY! The clothing they make is off the charts good! Thanks for the feedback and comment! 🙏🙏
A bit complicated analysis but the end result of the move is a powerful ball contact with better distance. Right elbow very close to the body at impact.
Thank you! I do believe it is important to understand cause and effect! I cannot fix anyone one RUclips but I can explain actions and reactions. Glad this helps and thank you for the comment and feedback!
This is something I’ve been working on - as my lead hips work deeper in transition I’m starting to hit more pulls left? You briefly talked about this and needing to round the spine down to prevent the arms from straightening in the video…assume more spine bend near impact would help me get rid of the pull?
So the big thing is making sure that the lead hip does not work too far backwards to wear your pressure is then moving too far into your Trailside, because that is where you can start to see pulls from. Even though the hip is working into more flexion, we still need the pressure of the hip to be over the lead foot. Let me know if that makes sense and thank you for the comment and question!
First lesson on early extension that I’ve been able to conceptualize. Thank you.
So glad to hear! 🙏🙏🙏
This could explain why I continously hit it great for a week, then have a month slump...bad spine posture. The bad slumps I bend from the lower spine (low hip), instead of the middle spine. I feel the arms move better & free, with the middle spine bend. Is there an exercise to build the middle spine bend, and make it completely dominant? I just saw your leaning over the fence tip, for middle spine bend.
What is do a practice standing against a wall, feel like you are doing a standing sit-up, and then relax the lower spine so it isn’t full curved (slight anterior pelvis tilt) and that should give you feel! Thanks for the comment and feedback
I think if you put a sharper tip on that magic stick, it will surely enforce the drill more effectively :) Thanks for the great lessen!
😂😂😂 thank you!!!
Wouldn’t just getting a little bit closer to the ball fix this problem, just wondered, thank you.
With the proper counterbalance of the spine and where the pressure on the feet sit (balls of the feet)
If I’m bending too much forward at the waist becoming top heavy. Is that why my lower left side of my back begins too hurt during my driving range work?
That is highly likely the reasoning behind the back pain. It is probably combo’d w/ a movement as well but will always start w/ setup
Trevor i cant find this training aid at eye line golf. i've got alignment sticks but they are all too long
its the short alignment stick
This company that I use is iRange Sports. They have a website that offers the mini iRange. Working on an attachment piece to go with it. You could buy an antenna and glue a metal puck to the bottom of it. Same way I did here in the video. My discount code is: TSGOLF
Give them a try! Great product for filming and training aides!
A quick question, I'm really tall at 6 7" and if I take a regular width stance I feel very top heavy but the only way to feel balanced (armpits above balls of feet at address) is for a very wide stance, would you agree with this?
So I would agree 100% with you! Being as tall as you are, we don’t need to get you further away from the ground. You’ll want to be on the wider side I’d think but not so wide that you don’t have any access to horizontal and vertical movements.
Let me know if that makes sense and if you have any questions! 👊👊👊
TS
You make a good point, I am struggling with weight transfer now I have a wider stance, plus low point control for irons
Trevor Would the "feel" be like I am much lower in my stance on impact? It feels like I am ultra low ?? Much different from my normal impact feel.
It will be a little bit lowe than where you are setup w/ side bend, but not crazy low. How’s is your setup in relation to impact?
@@tsgolf hi Trevor it feels low when I am set up for impact with side bend. I think it’s because I am standing taller on impact currently? Probably due to a lack of side bend.
@@simon2wheelerto much hinge from the pelvis most likely. Sorry for the delay in this
Thought this was a young Rickie Fowler for a second
Haha! 😂
I was taking lessons from a PGA certified instructor and he specifically had me working on getting my hips more flexed or hinged. The feeling was pouring water out of a picture from your belt buckle or pointing your belt buckle at the ball. Wouldn't this be the exact opposite of what you're teaching here? You are suggesting to tuck the pelvis so that the belt buckle would be pointing more horizontal?
That is correct that it would be the exact opposite. Not wanting to talk about about anyone else who coaches as I appreciate the efforts they all put in and hope they are trying to help in the same way I try.
The spine a powerful engine in the way it can be used. I haven’t had success in teaching players to hinge from the pelvis and become top heavy causing a lot of early extension. This is the reason why I teach the positioning of the spine the way I do.
If you need anything or have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out!
Glenwild Trevor
From back in the day! Fun years and memories from Glenwild!
Jack Nicklaus has the good middle spine bend posture, but PGA Tour Will Zalatoris has the flatest spine posture? Maybe Zalatoris will get back problems, he just had surgery.
I’d say that this may have had something to do with Will Z’s spinal fusion surgery sadly. I hope he is able to get back at it!
