Investigating Potential Causes and Effects of Early Extension with the 2023 Pan Am Games Champion

- One of the most compelling benefits of an assessment is that it helps highlight potential causes and effects of swing characteristics. We not only have clues of why (upstream) they might have the characteristic, but insight into the compensations that might introduce (downstream).
This was representative of our recent visit with 2023 Pan Am Games Champion, Sofia Garcia. Sofia was introduced to us by her coach, and close friend of TPI, Julieta Granada. We know Julieta from her playing days on the LPGA and LET. She retired in December of 2023 and began coaching and mentoring young players, including fellow-Paraguayan, Sofia Garcia.
Sofia came to us with some questions about her ball striking, short game and to evaluate a recent injury in the triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) of her wrist.
To answer her questions about what she might be able to do to improve these areas, we first needed to answer the most important question: Why were they issues in the first place?
This is gold. One of the only channels where an individual analysis still can apply to all... I want this!
These are by far the best golf instructional videos on RUclips. Not random tips, but in depth lessons by professionals, for professionals. So much knowledge to be gained from watching these. Please keep posting TPI!
Fantastic. TPI is the bomb. I have had 2 TPI assessments and worked for a year with a TPI trainer, GEARS sessions to confirm what's happening and I am hitting the ball the way I did back in the mid 90s when I was 33 years old.
Fascinating cause and effect analysis.
This absolutely amazing! I live in SoCal and know I can't afford this at TPI, but as a 50+ player scheduled to play senior Qualifiers in 2025 I'd sure like too. Titleist players I hope you know what you have. So cool 👍
Thank you for this video. When I was a senior in college I was one of the best ball strikers I knew. Through a career of playing and practicing on and off I could not figure out why my ball striking has gotten so bad. This is exactly my problem right here 100%. Now I have a range plan to fix myself. Thank you.
No you weren’t
This channel is absolute gold! Keep it coming, so informative. Man what a pleasure it would be to spend a day there.
she's talented to make those changes so quick. great rhythm to her move.
Best video I have seen from you guys in a while! Love the CSI work you did to figure out what was causing this player's issues. Great stuff! The brain and body are remarkable at compensation patterns for different movement patterns.....if we don't catch them early enough, we can get those nasty, chronic injuries and bad outcomes. Love this! Thank you.
It's why we're such believers in the value of assessments! Better info = better decision making
Please just set up a cam in the bay and live stream this all day long!!!! I'd buy a subscription.
I will never be able to afford something like this, these players are exceedingly fortunate to have access to resources like this. Being trained by Dr Rose and having access to all the TPI technology would be a game changer. These sessions are amazing to watch. Thanks, TPI!
One of the best golf videos I've seen so far this year. The amount of knowledge, details and cause-consequence analysis is really something!
Amazing, I certified with TPI this year and have been using the movement screen on a lot more than just golfers, what a great tool!!
Great to hear that! We use the process we teach with every athlete we see at TPI. Couldn't imagine teaching, training or treating without it!
Agreed this is gold, I do this and have been making it worse, whilst trying to fix it I've hard wired a hand path that is at odds with what exactly needs to happen, I've been throwing my hands right to try and draw the ball back but of course just end up blocking it right time and time again, I have down the line videos in slow mo and my right hip thrusts outwards throwing my hands out toward the ball, sometimes I manage to flip enough for good contact, when I stand on top of the ball with my wedges it doesn't happen because my left hip goes back to match my right hip and my hands swing left.
Hope Dr. Greg is healthy and doing well. A national(planetary) treasure. A true friend of ⛳ golf .
Thank you Dr. Greg for passing on all your knowledge to us who dont know 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Incredible how pros struggle with the same fundamental issues as amateurs. This player is just so incredibly talented, she can compensate and make it work (until injury catches up)
Best Video I have seen in a long time. I love these MyTPI videos!!
Thanks, Brad! 🙏
Great teaching awesome information-- thanks doctor
These videos are amazing. Thank you!
Another great video. There are several things I can learn from this.
Top tier golf content and very high production value. Wish I could go experience TPI!
Amazing stuff. Being an early extender, I can 100% understand. It's funny how people will target changing the product of something else... There's usually an answer as to why we do what we do.
Love this content. Please keep these videos coming!
Have a couple great ones coming up!
Great video and awesome info. She must go through lots of shoes, wearing a hole in the toe of her right foot. Is it the upper body (arm swing) that drags the foot?
Outstanding Greg.
Ive watched some other golf channels and another possible why there is early extension is the way the pelvis moves in the backswing where the centre of the pelvis moves towards the ball. Appreciate you touched on pelvis move in the downswing, but what about the backswing? Can this be another why?
As someone who has seen multiple instructors and cannot keep their lead arm straight-ish for the life of them, do you think TPI will be able to assist? I can do it when we’re doing static positions, but when I actually swing, I have to let the club and arms travel past where we practice.
Wish this guy could analyze my swing. I signed up for lessons with the "best" instructor in my area and the only thing he offered was "Do you work in a high stress job"? Basically wrote it off as early extension, but couldnt offer any advice on how to fix it. Pretty maddening, lol.
I like the problem solving approach
💯
Shift, rock, twist, jump!
Excellent video 🙏🙌
Appreciate it!
Greg is like the House MD of Golf
Noticeable difference in impact sound after the change
another banger
Wow! It makes sense.
Really suffering with early extension myself and back issues with driver then.
Maintaining balance is JOB ONE for our subconscious.
Our head and hips counter balance us in the coronal plane.
Simply keep the chin ahead of toes and the balance in coronal plane is secured...EE never again.
Thank you to Gerry Hogan, author of The Hogan Manual of Human Performance: GOLF, 1991
Early extension, flipping… and still on LPGA?! That´s some talent….
yeah imagine how good she could be!
Will make all players assess the mechanics and see what can be done to better strike and see differences if needed.
She related to sergio ?
Great video. Very educational.
She from Paraguay, he’s from Spain. Surname Garcia is like Smith in the US.
I doubled click the like button
Appreciate that!
@@MyTPI I believe that Harvey Penick said that you couldn't stand too close to the ball.
She does everything that a high level coach tells you not to do, but plays lpga. Her coordination must be insane
Yeah, different isn't always bad. It's why Greg said "get a little steeper over the next 10 years." Not trying to overhaul everything at once!
@@MyTPI he did not want to make a big swing change as she has comps to play, if she was off season he would be working on a lot
What is it with Garcia's and crazy amounts of lag? :D
Crazy how so many things lead back to the setup 😂
I can only imagine how much a visit like this cost lol us normal folks will never know 😂
Like everyone's HS football strength coach says: Cleans make you mean
I feel like I'm cheating the guys over at TPI watching this for free
Would anyone pay for this?
@@craigcrawford6749 I would gladly pay- there is gold in these videos that bring a deeper understanding. I'm not a coach and would never eat someone else's porridge but each video gives me something new. IMHO Greg has a talent to teach us as much as help his clients.
Believe me, they make enough to cover this video!
If her long game is good, she should not change it at all. Her rolling release is fantastic and should not be changed at all. Or at the minimum if she tries a change, she should alternate between old and new swing so that she does not land up messing her swing. I think the best advice for her would be to use a closer ball position and the suggested swing only for wedges. It is possible to learn 2 different swings. The alternative she can try is to use single length wedges which have a longer shaft and stay with her regular swing. But that would likely work only for full swing. It is not clear how good she is with half swing with her long game. Most likely, she cannot do it because of early extension.
I'm though tempted to say that maybe she can avoid early extension without changing her release pattern. Let it be like Mike Austin and not exit low left.
If your shortgame coach cant identify these basic flaws in your swing you need to fire them
Every solution in golf seems to be to do the opposite of what your brain is telling you to do. This is probably why the elite players are elite.
Seems like a lot of technical bs to figure out she's standing too far from the ball. Why not just check that first?
paren de robar con la extension prematura!
I watched this whole video and her insane wrist lag was never addressed. L
Because the wrist lag is a result, not a cause.
Wrist lag isn't necessarily a bad thing (Sergio seems to have had success with a similar move!). Our goal isn't to completely change a pros swing when they come in and see us for a day. It's to help them understand 1) what they are doing (our 3D system is really helpful for this) and, more importantly, 2) why they might be doing it that way (through physical screening). Then when they are working on their game they will have a better idea of the physical and technical elements that underpin their performance
@@MyTPI she tore her TFCC, it needs to be corrected to prevent re-injury.
