How to stop early extension in the downswing
EARLY EXTENSION in Golf
Golfers striving to improve their scores must focus on fundamentals for success. The single most important and most overlooked swing fundamental that could be the cause of you losing power, distance, and accuracy is a swing fault known as Thrusting or today’s term -Early Extension.
Is there a relationship between an early extension and your physical limitations? The answer to this question may be your missing link to a great game and to years of enjoyment instead of frustration on the course.
As a golf fitness professional. It’s my job to discover your physical limitations and show you how to try to correct them.
Physical Limitations that can cause Early Extension:
* General lower body stiffness, joint immobility, or muscle imbalance
* Poor Lead Hip Internal Rotation
* Poor separation of upper and lower body
* Inability to control the pelvis
* Weak Glute and Core strength
(These limitations all have a direct effect on your downswing and are best evaluated with a Golf fitness Evaluation/Assessment).
HOW TO CREATE PELVIS CONTROL AND STRENGTHEN YOUR GLUTES AND CORE
Inability to control the pelvis, we need to be able to control the position of your pelvis for the correct sequence of the downswing from the ground up. If you can’t sequence properly, there is a good chance your posture is changing throughout the swing.
