How to Eliminate hips' Early Extension - Right Heel Down Drill

A few weeks ago we looked at the Space invading Hips which are also called Early Extension of the body upwards prior to impact.
This issue has always been a problem of Cassie's and many amateur golfers as in an effort to get speed in their swing, they jump upwards before the club gets to the ball.
As we have seen from Cassie's game this results in the '2-way miss' issues of blocking and hooking.
Golfers often don't understand why they or how they can have both problems with the same swing!
The issue is the hips early extension and invading the space where the arms should be swinging through (under the shoulders) - but as their is no space for the arms to do that they work around the hips opening the face causing a spinney weak slicy block OR if the body and brain realise this issue then they flip the face to negate this and if the timing works they can hit it straight but if not they get draw hooks as the clubface has closed to early!
Either way it is no way to paly golf (having no idea which miss will come that day or even that hole).
This simple practice drill with the right heel down is essential to stop this early extension and just 10-15 balls at the start of every range session should gradually train the body to stop jumping toward the ball before impact.

Some years ago I found that keeping some weight on the right foot longer in transition produced a more solid impact and, dare I say, less tendency to shank! Having seen your ‘validation’ I now realise it wasn’t just a temporary fix for something else in my swing so will give it more consistent attention from here on. Thanks very much.

Glad this was of some help. Hope you enjoy watching some of our Course vlogs too. 😀

Great drill. After your last video, I've actually been working on the same thing. I have the same issue with early extending and losing the hip bend, usually causing a pull to the left or a weak toe hit. Thanks for the reminders. It's always good to get back to the fundamentals. 👍🏽

It is one we did a few years back, but as you know the old habits tend to creep back in, so it was really good for me to do again. I tend to jump up and do this when I want to hit the ball further and so then end up with poor club control and hit higher and soft spinners which are shorter.

@@LearnGolfwithCassie Yes, it's always good to work on the basic fundamentals. I heard that Davis Riley, who just beat Scottie Sheffler to win the Charles Schwab PGA tourney, practices on the range with a grip training aid before (and during) tournaments. 😳 If they need to do that, then I surely gotta focus on basics 😄
