How to fix EARLY EXTENSION For Good! || Downswing Drills



In this video Adam teaches you how to fix the early extension for good! Adam goes over the downswing feeling of having the right hip back on the back swing, hips neutral in the slot and left hip back through impact while against a club stand. If you do not have a club stand available, an alignment stick or bag will do! These early extension drills will ensure a proper turn and side bend through impact. In addition, Adam goes over several other drills like the pump drill and also weight distribution.

  1. Hi Adam. Been watching your videos for a while now, best instructional coach I've seen. Wish you were in the UK, would love to have lessons with you!

    Quick question, at setup where you mentioned the hip bump, you referred to weight being on inside of trail foot and flat on the lead foot…by flat did you mean the weight spreads across the whole width of the foot?

  2. I’ve been waiting for this video ! I have problems with this hip turn . Does your lead foot move from inside pressure which rolls to outside pressure ?

  3. Right slide bend on down downswing will help fix this also ??? I have a bad early extension that makes me raise the handle and tie shank. I started working on right side bend and it seem to fix the early extension

  4. Hi Adam, what do you mean by "flat of the left" at [3:09]? Is that the pressure weighted in the mid-foot area on the lead side? (versus the heel and toe area)

  5. I have found if I focus on a super smooth transition from backswing to down swing with super smooth tempo and only apply speed and power to the club head at the very bottom of my swing all of these body positions will be accomplished more naturally. Sometimes trying to hit all these body positions in the downswing feels impossible because there is so little time to actually control things. It’s wild how focusing on a smoother tempo and when to put speed on the club can result in drastically improved body/club positions when viewed in slow motion. I have tried focusing on hitting the positions instead of thinking about the tempo and timing of when to put speed into the club and that lead to some unnatural mechanical swings that do not hold up under pressure. All I can say is try to hit a golf ball with a ton of speed but you are not allowed to start swinging hard until you feel like you are half way through your down swing. It’s almost impossible for my hips to move forward when I do this.

  6. We would love to hear your feedback after watching this video! Which drill helped out the most?

  7. Loved your demonstration and discussion of this. Worth multiple watches. You give multiple swing images to your students because that is the way people learn ie by gathering and

  8. Another great video Adam, keep it up! I have found that if I shorten my swing a tad I manage to keep my arms in front of my body and allows me to clear my hips much better, rather than my arms getting stuck behind me with my hips extending early and forward…

  9. Like the way you teach sequencing and weight transfer with these sensations such as heel to heel. It puzzled me so long now I got a clear picture and the next step for me is to ingrain it into the swing.

  10. I’ve taken numerous lessons from various pros. Honestly, I’ve found it rare to “understand” ideas the coach is trying to convey. You break it down to where I can understand it. I wish you were closer. I’d pay you a visit. I’m so frustrated with my game right now. Do you offer virtual lessons?
