Dana and Henry are back to tackle a common golfing woe – early extension. You know, that frustrating move that seems to plague golfers of all levels, even the pros like us. So, what's the scoop on today's session?
Dana's got a nifty drill up his sleeve, and it involves a simple yet effective technique. Picture this: Dana's got a stick placed strategically behind him, and he's hitting Henry's clubs – a head-scratcher, right? Well, it's all in the name of conquering early extension.
Early extension, that sneaky villain that causes your swing to go awry. Dana's got a solution. The trick is to set your derriere against an object and maintain contact throughout your swing. No drifting off allowed. Feel the connection, let it guide your movements.
Dana demonstrates with finesse, showing how the stick stays centered as he swings. The hips play a symphony of movement, like a synchronized dance between right and left. Stay centered, they say, minimize excess swaying.
This nifty exercise isn't limited to the greens. You can practice it at home, leaning against a wall or corner. And remember, it's about honing the movement, not just the contact. So, if Dana can pull it off with no warm-up, so can you!
Keep refining that swing, Rukket Nation. Until next time, happy swinging!
