Early Extension in Golf Swing
Early extension in a golf swing is a result of counteracting the force exerted by the club head by the body, where the hip flexes, pelvis, and core muscles play a crucial role. The body reacts to the heavy weight of the club head gaining momentum by early extending. Despite its negative connotation, there is a correct time for the body to extend properly. Early extension can be linked to improving low point control by standing a bit out of the waistband, raising hands, and shallowing the angle of attack, resulting in a cascading effect throughout the swing.
