HANDS DOWN THE BEST EXPLANATION I have found online about early extension and today alone my swing change dramatically when I used these 12 minutes of "Tasks" Thank you!
E - found this gem because I thought I was early extending. Turns out I am ugly hitting heel shots because of no hip depth in either hip which is causing me to push my hips forward. I couldn’t for the life of me explain why when I do the “right leg back” drill - the shots are solid. This explains it. Now I’m trying to get the timing right. Thanks to you and Mike for your generosity.
This video is the E=mc2 for golf! I was "standing up" during my backswing for past 20 years and 6 top coaches could not help. This video got me to fix it today within 100 range balls and I broke 80 on the course! Eric and Mike - YOU ROCK!!!
Wild Bill Mehlhorn drill… oldie but a goodie. See Justin Spieth’s practice swings before he hits the ball The key, as Mike demonstrates, is that you have to maintain your “tush line” and not raise out of the shot(EE)
Eric..this is one of fhe 3 hip depth series from you I am following...genius work ...destroys the false models of modern golf instruction and rightly so. I am wondering is takeway is initiated by right hip back? As that moves the arms ! Moving the chest and right shoulder to takeaway can tend to lock the right knee instinctively ...and cause problems.
Hey Sambhu! I would say the swing should start with pressure in feet.....chest/arms/shoulder moving the club the first few feet then the hip depth pieces kick in more from there
Eric, Mike is technical with words but his demonstrations and your interpretations make this one of the absolute best videos of ever. I don't get why every golfer on earth doesn't watch your videos. Thank you so much. This was really one of the best of ever. Really makes understanding of hips so easy. You are simply the best.
(Better late than never comment) OMG, that demo with the club on the ground was a revelation. I've never seen a better way to describe what the hips should be doing in 35 years of playing. Fixed my early extension overnight, I've got so much room to swing! Now, where's my Delorean so I can go back to 1985 and tell myself this
Eric - All I can say is WOW! This is fabulous! New concepts for me. I learned the “keep the right knee fixed and bent” method in the 90s and am now a master of EE. Eric, you and Mike are a good team. The only websites I have ever joined or will ever join are yours and his. Best teachers on the planet!! Take care, my friend!! Jim
I've tried everything to fix EE. I recorded myself doing the 4 ball drill and it was literally the ONLY drill that's been able to get me in the proper position. Now I just gotta figure out how to translate it to a regular swing.
Mike Malaska is hands down a genius - his way of conceptualizing complex 'feels' and motion is truely astounding! I LOVE the look of amazement by Eric on the cable-pulling drill - epiphany right there. Great co-lad Eric would love to see more from you too.
This is finally the lightbulb video for me as a feel player. I had left knee injury and major surgery on it the other year which has killed by swing which i rarely had issues with in the past but now suffer with thins from early extension. The whole cable pulley drill and feel finally got me back to what I used to feel rather than getting stuck and having to stand on my left leg to hit the ball. Even though it's older seriously great video and thank you for putting it up.
I have been spared spending thousands on instruction just by watching this. Foundation of any swing is a understanding. "Turn is confusing", "Stabilize and coil is a killer' - Mike Malaska
Eric..I finally understood this..hips work on linear forces..but golf in the modersn sense is taught around rotational forces..the takeaway, one piece..is this all wrong! Moving hops back takes the club back and club down ....
I am really starting to Love Mike Malaska. Best explanation, drill and demonstration of this issue.........period! Thank you Mike and thanks to you Eric for working with and highlighting Mike’s instruction!
I used to think Mike Malaska was overrated but this completely flipped my view. It’s the best video on early extension I’ve ever seen and I’ve seen them all. I love your feel on keeping the belt buckle away as well as Mike’s inside stories validating what Tiger and Nicklaus worked on regarding the hips.
Eureka moment! Great video! I'm getting super contact with the ball after I learned to get the hip out of the way. And of course you will have "the same" movement like the pros.
This collaboration is the best one yet. Your face when he's talking shows that you're learning as much as we are. I could listen to Mike talk golf all day. PS , I would kill for Mike's hands. So elite. Can't hit a bad shot.
Appreciate it! Absolutely...I was learning from everyone on the trip...Mike included! Selfishly I enjoyed all of it :) Awesome guys/gals and coaches along the way we can all learn from!
I have been plagued by early extension ever since I started playing golf and recently realized that it is the product of me casting my arms straight in the lower half of my downswing, not the cause. No matter what drills I tried to correct the extension, none worked because the 'casting' was forcing it to happen.
Dear Eric, I have watched all three videos with Mr. Mike Malaska, best of the bunch you have produced thus far. I’m a fan. Thanks for the work you do. Stay safe and soon to see everyone on green grass.
I've seen a lot of Mike's videos and he often talks about hip depth but I don't think I've ever seen him explain it like this before. Both the pivoting club on the ground and the walking backwards drill brought much clarity.
@@CogornoGolf Has the Walking Backwards drill just solved the world's Early Extension problem? Sadly it's never that easy though! But another terrific video for sure.
The best drill ever for me. I developed an increasing shank that started with my short game. I ended up shanking all my clubs. The worst nightmare and nothing to cure it, tried everything. During this lockdown I began practicing in my yard with softballs, the shank was there also, until I watched this drill and I was fixed immediately. Can wait to go to the range and get my confidence back again. Thank you guys for your advice!!
A great example of how RUclips instruction is ramping up the evolution of how golf is taught. Wasted years as an early extender trying to copy Tiger's swing during his Butch Harmon phase. The idea was that you increase your "x-factor" (stretch) by turning with a fixed right hip to gain more distance. It's starting to seem like Golf Digest meant to confuse us because the game is taught so much better now. Thank you.
Absolutely brilliant. The clearest explanation of this subject that I've ever heard. I've been out in the garden in my isolation over here in the UK and tried it and it's a revelation to me. Love it!
Brilliant video, can't believe i missed this one when shown a year ago, unbelievable visual Mike explained indeed, one of the best tutorial videos I've ever seen, brilliant guy's
Eric, this is a terrific video. You do solid work. I’m a low handicapper and developed the shanks in my pitch shots. I’ve worked tirelessly to prevent my hips from moving toward the ball. I was ready to quit. I’m certain this will give me back my confidence that I somehow lost. Keep up the good work pal.
Wow wow wow, I've just tried the right hip back then left hip back feeling and I'm amaze of the pure hit. I'm not seeing my swing right now but I'm pretty sure that i'm finally making a shallow downswing. I've always told my buddies that the same concept are explained in many different ways but you just have to find the right one for you. Guess what, that's the one for me. You just helped me gain back the golf passion I had in my younger years. Ok ok ok, I have to calm myself now! :-) Pure gold!
This was just great! This cured my slide immediately. I just "walk" straight back from the ball instead of "turning". Brilliant. I'm sure my friends only see a turn with no slide. Little do they know I am now walking instead of turning ...
yes, but the thing is, when you do the cable guy routine. it, isn't the hip that moves back. it's the muscles that are activated in the leg that cause the hip to move back.
@@CogornoGolf thanks for your reply. i wasn't so sure about the other video on the wrist set and right shoulder rotation. i think it would make it very difficult for the right shoulder joint to rotate from such a closed down wrist position. but, how the hands and arms move in the takeaway is one of the most debated subjects in the game. i think bill mehlhorn was right when he said that there is no such thing as one piece. but, i do think the club should be square in relation to the swing angle in the takeaway. and, the left shoulder joint has to rotate in the takeaway. i think the swing exercise that gene littler does on the 18th tee in his match against eric brown in the shell wonderful world of golf vid, goes a long way to fixing the takeaway
Genius as always from Mike, Years of experierence seeing this and hearing all the industry lingo and knows it all comes down to some very basic ideas. Keeping it simple!
Eric, would say waiting for the "counter fall of the weight" back to the left side is going to allow for the left hip to move backwards? The left hip back is the hardest part of this concept. I think if the right hip is already back away from the ball, you're 80% there..do you agree?
Thanks Mike. This idea helped me a lot today - shot my 2nd lowest round of the year (81). More importantly, I could consistently find the center of the club face.
Eric saying to Mike ( you want to stand there ) at 11.34 had me Laughing so hard.. Seriously good video , with yet more Golf gold , well done Mike and Eric.
So I am guessing if this is applied properly the space created can help with Players that end up with a bent left elbow after their position half way down is pretty good?
Another purely brilliant video, especially for us lockdown golf craving individuals. Edit; Had to re-watch, the straight line force instead of turn is such a game changer.
This is exactly what I’ve been trying to do for the past month. Clear right hip back and clear left hip back. I found if the clearing of the left hip along with force transfer into the left heel is the first move in the downswing then it basically pulls your club and hands into the right place without thinking about it. When I’ve had that feeling I’m hitting the ball further and cleaner and so more consistent. Love this video
I have worked with great instructors like Gankas in person- worked on hip turn like crazy. Never could make the feeling of getting depth (into the heel) easy. Always kinda turned into the ball of the foot. The cable pull feel is an absolute game changer. Just a little part that makes an amazing difference.
Wow. Just what I needed. Just had my right hip and left knee replaced. I could not turn very well either way, so you can imagine how bad my early extension was, and how steep I had gotten. Now that I can use my hips again this video really helps. Thanks for the great stuff as usual. Mike always has an interesting way to illustrate things.
Eric,.. thanks.. I used to be scratch or -1 and crept up to a 6 after slipping into some really bad habits. Looking forward to some good playing again. You rock!
I have a question what’s a good drill to do if you lose your center of gravity I lost over a 100 lbs and I can’t feel if I’m turning or sliding I literally can’t feel my body because it’s so light compared to what I use to be
Hey Paul! I'm not quite sure I understand exactly what you are looking for? I think I would likely need to see your swing on video to offer you any specific advice here
This is great. Visualizing pulling strings when moving my hips helps me move my hips way in a more natural way. I was struggling with how to move my hips back exactly for a long time. Thanks!
This concept has completely eliminated my early extension. It still requires me to focus on the move for now, but hitting it more in the center. Thanks for the video!
Hey Marlon! Yes that same principles here would apply with all clubs. Your brain will only allow you to do it if you get the club face square to path and get shaft anglle on plane and not steep...or else you will early extend to fix one or both of those Check those first
@@CogornoGolf Thanks Eric. So this EE ordeal has many feels that can help with it and I will summarize (not meant to confuse your audience) on the way DOWN: 1) Drive the left hip BACK. 2) Lower the chest closer to the ball and bend the knees more. 3) Bring hands lower and close to the body. 4) Drive the trailing shoulder down closer to the ball. This is not meant to confuse anyone but for me, I will focus on #1 and let the upper body respond accordingly (#2, 3 and 4 should happen automagically) since I feel the hip is the Queen Bee and the rest will listen to her as she moves in the right manner. As Malaska stated, the shoulder will follow what the hip does. Physiologically, the rest of the body can only respond in the right manner if we don't want to snap a joint or break a leg!
A new vid from you means we're gonna get some good content--and sometimes it means a little bit of magic! Great graphic presentation by Mike in a novel way and then a great drill to let you feel it. You seemed like you were as amazed by it as we were! BTW, I love how Malaska can't resist doing that little voice when he tells Nicklaus stories! Lol
Lol! Appreciate it, Dennis! He is such a great presenter as you mentioned.....cool to watch! I had never seen that demonstrated like that before....really cool! His impersonations were great....lots more off camera :)
Brilliant. The last drill was an epiphany. The frustration can be overwhelming sometimes. I am really good at other sports but this game just kills me. At least until your videos and Mike's input finally at least I actually understand what I am supposed to be trying to do.
Brilliant, this just might be as easy to comprehend as your anti slice drill video. I’ve always liked Malaska but this video brought out better teaching method. Well done young un
Big fan of both these instructors!
Appreciate ya!
Brilliant explanation with club on the ground.
Agreed, Ted! Mike is awesome!

Now that's an understatement.

Been working on hip depth for 2 years now. This was very illuminating.
Hope it helps!

This is hands down the best educational video I'v seen ... I really want to take lesson from Mike now :(
Thanks! He's great....go ahead and head out there when things are back up and running!
Had to re-watch this. So brilliant
:)
‘Use ypur hip and pull cable back”.... does this mean hips pull club back from at rest? This is ground breaking if so...
Not quite...the chest/shoulders and core move the club back the first feet...hip is moving back from there on up
Please tell me the two of you will working together again soon! This series of videos is pure gold!

Fantastic video really changed my prospective and understanding of what clearing hips really means thank you
Thanks, William! Mike is great!!
This is exactly what I’ve been trying to do for the past month. Clear right hip back and clear left hip back. I found if the clearing of the left hip along with force transfer into the left heel is the first move in the downswing then it basically pulls your club and hands into the right place without thinking about it. When I’ve had that feeling I’m hitting the ball further and cleaner and so more consistent. Love this video
Excellent! Love to hear that, Jason!
Mike. He's a close-talker.
Good instruction, regardless of the personal space violations.
He's great! He's really passionate and it shows....great coaching!
I LOVED THIS VISUAL! I'VE STRUGGLED with this for so long. Great stuff. Keep up the good work. Cheers
Thanks! Hope it helps!
I have worked with great instructors like Gankas in person- worked on hip turn like crazy. Never could make the feeling of getting depth (into the heel) easy. Always kinda turned into the ball of the foot.

This is great. Visualizing pulling strings when moving my hips helps me move my hips way in a more natural way. I was struggling with how to move my hips back exactly for a long time. Thanks!
You got it Ruud!
Hands down the best video!
Thank you :)
This concept has completely eliminated my early extension. It still requires me to focus on the move for now, but hitting it more in the center. Thanks for the video!
Excellent! Our pleasure!
I’ve been working on this drill with wedges and irons. Driver is still difficult. Should we try to walk back with driver in hand?
Hey Marlon! Yes that same principles here would apply with all clubs.
Your brain will only allow you to do it if you get the club face square to path and get shaft anglle on plane and not steep...or else you will early extend to fix one or both of those
Check those first
@@CogornoGolf Thanks Eric. So this EE ordeal has many feels that can help with it and I will summarize (not meant to confuse your audience) on the way DOWN:
1) Drive the left hip BACK.
2) Lower the chest closer to the ball and bend the knees more.
3) Bring hands lower and close to the body.
4) Drive the trailing shoulder down closer to the ball.
This is not meant to confuse anyone but for me, I will focus on #1 and let the upper body respond accordingly (#2, 3 and 4 should happen automagically) since I feel the hip is the Queen Bee and the rest will listen to her as she moves in the right manner. As Malaska stated, the shoulder will follow what the hip does.
Physiologically, the rest of the body can only respond in the right manner if we don't want to snap a joint or break a leg!
Unbelievable visual. You’re right everyone will find something different. This could be a game changer for me.
We really liked it as well....had never seen it expressed that way before....awesome!
A new vid from you means we're gonna get some good content--and sometimes it means a little bit of magic! Great graphic presentation by Mike in a novel way and then a great drill to let you feel it. You seemed like you were as amazed by it as we were! BTW, I love how Malaska can't resist doing that little voice when he tells Nicklaus stories! Lol
Lol!
Appreciate it, Dennis! He is such a great presenter as you mentioned.....cool to watch!
I had never seen that demonstrated like that before....really cool!
His impersonations were great....lots more off camera :)
Eric Cogorno Golf we need to see/hear the outtakes and bloopers tapes!
:)
Brilliant. The last drill was an epiphany. The frustration can be overwhelming sometimes. I am really good at other sports but this game just kills me. At least until your videos and Mike's input finally at least I actually understand what I am supposed to be trying to do.
Love it.....Mike is great!
I has Early Extension and tried to find many way to fix it but I can't. Now I understand clearly, thanks a lot Mr Mike and Eric
:)
Brilliant, this just might be as easy to comprehend as your anti slice drill video. I’ve always liked Malaska but this video brought out better teaching method. Well done young un
Thank you, John! Appreciate it my friend!
