Video Description

If you struggle with early extension in the golf swing, this video will show you how to finally fix it. In this lesson, game-improvement editor Zephyr Melton learns 3 drills from Top 100 Teacher Tony Ruggiero to help maintain posture, improve hip depth, and rotate through impact without standing up through the shot.

Early extension is one of the most common swing faults among amateur golfers and can lead to inconsistent contact and loss of power. These drills are designed to help you stay centered, create space and improve ball striking with every club in the bag.

In this video, you’ll learn what actually causes early extension, why the hips move toward the golf ball during the downswing, and how better rotation and sequencing can help you stay in posture through impact. You’ll also learn three effective drills designed to improve body movement, create more space through the strike and help you make more consistent contact with every club in the bag.
