    This was amazing! I have been struggling with early extension for the last year and just could not get a handle on it. I've watched many videos to no effect until I saw this one. I tried it and then went and played a round and was amazed at the difference! As you mentioned, I will continue working the drill and practicing, but I feel like I finally have my game back.

    So easy and so effective. Such a simple thought. Tried this tonight at the range and then out on the course and it was great. Made so many other things fall in line as well with one thought. Funny how much easier this is to do than the butt on the wall. I always felt like I lost rotation from that thought and stalled out.

    I'm a +1 but have fairly significant early extension. For the life of me I cannot fix it without dropping to like a 10 hdcp that's saved by my short game. I've tried to commit to it but I'm just so bad for so long that I eventually just go back to my early extension swing and back to low scores, despite how ugly my swing is.
    This is the first I've heard focusing on head and upper body vs trying to fix through lower body transition alterations. I'll be giving it a try.

    • @CogornoGolf
      @CogornoGolf  Год назад

      Thanks Mike!
      Hard to say without seeing your swing...early releasing your wrist angles/"casting" and early extension do often go together, but there could be several different root causes as to WHY that's happening.
      Always safe to start by checking you have a fairly neutral club face and club path first...
      Check these videos out for more details!

    Hi Eric, Just curious you've taught lots of golfers, would you say the main reason for early extension is people who lack flexibility? Speaking for myself I'm 60 and out of shape and it hurts like hell for me to maintain my spine angle in the DS, which causes me to come out of posture to take the pressure of my lower back, so two part question, are most early extenders out of shape like me(in your experience) and what solutions other than get fit do you suggest for them? Thanks in advance.

    • @CogornoGolf
      @CogornoGolf  6 месяцев назад +1

      Hey!
      I would say thats PART of it yes....being able to move your body well......but it's MORE caused by bad pieces earlier
      -poor setup
      -Shaft too steep in DS
      -Face too open in DS
      I would pair pieces that work with more EE.....THOSE depend on the player I would need to see their swing to say specifics

    Quick question: why do the shortened split-grip practice swing rather than just set up to the ball normally, re-grip at the clubhead end of the grip, and make a swing-hit the ball from the normal stance? Will this encourage you to move toward the ball and clear your body rather than EE?

    Eric - can I send you a Christmas card, a puppy, a crisp $20 bill, something? I have been an early extender for quite a while now (I actually lower my head during the backswing, creating way too much shoulder tilt, then early extend back up on the downswing), and it has resulted in MASSIVE toe strikes. I'm talking off the grooves. I must confess that I couldn't "feel" this drill all that well, but the idea of focusing on the head and feeling it stationary on the takeaway and then dropping in and down on the downswing completely changed my swing/life. I bought a pool noodle, attached it over an alignment stick at an angle, and took a bunch of swings where my head stays level with the noodle and then drops below - BAM. Nuking it dead center, no early extension.

    I feel that early extension and losing the wrist angle (flipping the club) go hands in hand.
    If you feel like your head/chest goes down toward the ball as you said, the flip has to go away as well. You need to hold the wrist angle longer or you will hit the ground well behind the ball.

      Hey! No good advice without seeing your swing unfortunately.....too many variables could be causing it.
      But some things to look for....
      1. Make sure trail arm is bent enough and trail wrist is bent back enough (if you get closer to ground something needs to shorten)
      2. Make sure hand path works in (left) enough with body rotation
      If that doesn't sort it send swings to www.cogornogolf.com so we can fix

      @CogornoGolf  Год назад

      Hey Mack...of course I would need to see your swing on video to say WHY that's happening and how to fix
      Generally when I hear this its either
      1. You are not actually doing the body motions correctly
      2. You are not matching the arms/wrists to the new body motions
      If your trail shoulder and chest are more down (closer to the ground) now with new motions then you need to shorten something else (right arm more bend and right wrist more bent through impact)
      These should help that:

    Ok, now that my head is not lifting, I'm hitting 2 feet behind the ball.

      Hey Nick!
      Of course I would need to see your swing on video to say WHY that's happening and how to fix
      Generally when I hear this its either
      1. You are not actually doing the body motions correctly
      2. You are not matching the arms/wrists to the new body motions
      If your trail shoulder and chest are more down (closer to the ground) now with new motions then you need to shorten something else (right arm more bend and right wrist more bent through impact)
      These should help that:

    Question.. So the head lower during the downswing/impact FORCES you have a forward press with the hands because there's no room left to flip the club??

      I wouldn't say it's forced/will happen automatically, but yes, it certainly encourages great arm and wrist structure through the ball (keeping the trail arm and trail wrist bent)👍
