Investigating Potential Causes and Effects of Early Extension with the 2023 Pan Am Games Champion

[@williamedmonds9864]

This my favorite channel -- he's like the Dr. House and his golfers that come in are the patients.

[@Boss302ATC]

This is gold. One of the only channels where an individual analysis still can apply to all... I want this!

[@Sreeve94]

These are by far the best golf instructional videos on KZbin. Not random tips, but in depth lessons by professionals, for professionals. So much knowledge to be gained from watching these. Please keep posting TPI!

[@srundelviirundel2808]

Exactly, to anyone educated and eager to learn it's a goldmine. The people who don't like usually have a massive "frame of reference gap"

[@Colangelo405]

These videos really highlight how highly skilled these professional players are. It's easy as an amateur to think "if I can just fix my swing then I'll break 80". Sofia has an early extension problem yet her brain is still able to sub-consciously deliver the club to the ball well enough to compete at a professional level. That's true skill.

[@guitar1950]

Unfreakin'believeable! Impressive analysis.

[@anderswennstrom6492]

Wow !!! If there was a Nobel prize in "understanding the golfsving" with help of technology and make it logic to the listener, You Should Have IT ! This is awesome!

[@bobharden7320]

This video covers everything that I have challenges with. Thanks for sharing it. Go MyTPI! 😊

[@davidedwards1405]

Fantastic. TPI is the bomb. I have had 2 TPI assessments and worked for a year with a TPI trainer, GEARS sessions to confirm what's happening and I am hitting the ball the way I did back in the mid 90s when I was 33 years old.

[@BretDouglas]

Thank you for effectively diagnosing my swing. Not surprisingly, I also suffered a TFCC injury last year, but the early extension has been a problem for decades. Now I know why.

[@LIFEISAHUSTLE1]

Thank you for this video. When I was a senior in college I was one of the best ball strikers I knew. Through a career of playing and practicing on and off I could not figure out why my ball striking has gotten so bad. This is exactly my problem right here 100%. Now I have a range plan to fix myself. Thank you.

[@JK-cu7mh]

No you weren’t

[@neckupfitness3274]

Best video I have seen from you guys in a while! Love the CSI work you did to figure out what was causing this player's issues. Great stuff! The brain and body are remarkable at compensation patterns for different movement patterns.....if we don't catch them early enough, we can get those nasty, chronic injuries and bad outcomes. Love this! Thank you.

[@MyTPI]

It's why we're such believers in the value of assessments! Better info = better decision making

[@lama6736]

[@BurkyGolf]

This channel is absolute gold! Keep it coming, so informative. Man what a pleasure it would be to spend a day there.

[@amichaels-v3]

I will never be able to afford something like this, these players are exceedingly fortunate to have access to resources like this. Being trained by Dr Rose and having access to all the TPI technology would be a game changer. These sessions are amazing to watch. Thanks, TPI!

[@massimilianoborgato2273]

One of the best golf videos I've seen so far this year. The amount of knowledge, details and cause-consequence analysis is really something!

[@michaelvilkas7812]

Amazing, I certified with TPI this year and have been using the movement screen on a lot more than just golfers, what a great tool!!

[@MyTPI]

Great to hear that! We use the process we teach with every athlete we see at TPI. Couldn't imagine teaching, training or treating without it!

[@zzsshhbb]

Brilliant content. I was made aware of this channel from the Iona video, also excellent. The hard part isn't learning the new techniques, it's unlearning the old ones. Great work guys Keep it coming 👌

This absolutely amazing! I live in SoCal and know I can't afford this at TPI, but as a 50+ player scheduled to play senior Qualifiers in 2025 I'd sure like too. Titleist players I hope you know what you have. So cool 👍

[@pieman2010]

Incredible how pros struggle with the same fundamental issues as amateurs. This player is just so incredibly talented, she can compensate and make it work (until injury catches up)

[@srundelviirundel2808]

Same game and all human bodies!

[@GolfWhisperer54]

Hope Dr. Greg is healthy and doing well. A national(planetary) treasure. A true friend of ⛳ golf . Thank you Dr. Greg for passing on all your knowledge to us who dont know 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@wills2552]

Agreed this is gold, I do this and have been making it worse, whilst trying to fix it I've hard wired a hand path that is at odds with what exactly needs to happen, I've been throwing my hands right to try and draw the ball back but of course just end up blocking it right time and time again, I have down the line videos in slow mo and my right hip thrusts outwards throwing my hands out toward the ball, sometimes I manage to flip enough for good contact, when I stand on top of the ball with my wedges it doesn't happen because my left hip goes back to match my right hip and my hands swing left.

[@1gurucoder]

Great video and awesome info. She must go through lots of shoes, wearing a hole in the toe of her right foot. Is it the upper body (arm swing) that drags the foot?

[@disconnected3963]

Greg is like the House MD of Golf

[@dtgpsinc.4289]

Maintaining balance is JOB ONE for our subconscious. Our head and hips counter balance us in the coronal plane. Simply keep the chin ahead of toes and the balance in coronal plane is secured...EE never again. Thank you to Gerry Hogan, author of The Hogan Manual of Human Performance: GOLF, 1991

[@juanbotha6634]

Ive watched some other golf channels and another possible why there is early extension is the way the pelvis moves in the backswing where the centre of the pelvis moves towards the ball. Appreciate you touched on pelvis move in the downswing, but what about the backswing? Can this be another why?

[@chrismccluskey]

The parts of this where it cuts to a talking head Dr Greg with his TPI cap on are hilarious. What a man.

[@clintonjonker8474]

Will make all players assess the mechanics and see what can be done to better strike and see differences if needed.

[@gostrangely9674]

Wish this guy could analyze my swing. I signed up for lessons with the "best" instructor in my area and the only thing he offered was "Do you work in a high stress job"? Basically wrote it off as early extension, but couldnt offer any advice on how to fix it. Pretty maddening, lol.

[@srundelviirundel2808]

[@gostrangely9674]

@@srundelviirundel2808 Never seen "gross" used in that context. Achievement unlocked.

[@aidangriffiths5075]

Really suffering with early extension myself and back issues with driver then.

[@lawbinson]

As someone who has seen multiple instructors and cannot keep their lead arm straight-ish for the life of them, do you think TPI will be able to assist? I can do it when we’re doing static positions, but when I actually swing, I have to let the club and arms travel past where we practice.

Early extension, flipping… and still on LPGA?! That´s some talent….

[@krusher74]

yeah imagine how good she could be!

[@srundelviirundel2808]

If you analyze all your pros its way more prevalent than you think. That's where being a true athlete comes in clutch.

[@AndreeB19]

Does anyone know of a TPI in the UK?

[@strisrobith4782]

She does everything that a high level coach tells you not to do, but plays lpga. Her coordination must be insane

[@MyTPI]

Yeah, different isn't always bad. It's why Greg said "get a little steeper over the next 10 years." Not trying to overhaul everything at once!

[@krusher74]

@@MyTPI he did not want to make a big swing change as she has comps to play, if she was off season he would be working on a lot

[@Omnis2]

[@alexanderlabrea]

What is it with Garcia's and crazy amounts of lag? :D

[@Aloha96789]

So if I address the ball and I look at the top of the grip it should appear to be on the line between the tips of my big toes? NO WAY that is going to happen unless I extend my arms straight out. Or do mean that if I drop a plumb-line from the top of my grip that the plumb-line would touch my toe-line? Even that make me feel like I'm reaching.

[@SimpleGameGolf]

[@matthewfike922]

[@paulwest6203]

George Costanza jump

[@ac.4106]

she stilll managed 2 win, wow

[@kvishal001]

If her long game is good, she should not change it at all. Her rolling release is fantastic and should not be changed at all. Or at the minimum if she tries a change, she should alternate between old and new swing so that she does not land up messing her swing. I think the best advice for her would be to use a closer ball position and the suggested swing only for wedges. It is possible to learn 2 different swings. The alternative she can try is to use single length wedges which have a longer shaft and stay with her regular swing. But that would likely work only for full swing. It is not clear how good she is with half swing with her long game. Most likely, she cannot do it because of early extension. I'm though tempted to say that maybe she can avoid early extension without changing her release pattern. Let it be like Mike Austin and not exit low left.

[@krusher74]

If your shortgame coach cant identify these basic flaws in your swing you need to fire them

[@Pseudify]

Every solution in golf seems to be to do the opposite of what your brain is telling you to do. This is probably why the elite players are elite.

[@ToraxReborn]

Sad thing is... were humans and things change weekly and monthly and seasonally.. and thats why players always search, or the coaches.. 😅

[@khurramtahir687]

Seems like a lot of technical bs to figure out she's standing too far from the ball. Why not just check that first?

[@golftrainingacademy]

paren de robar con la extension prematura!

[@smoozerish]

She's screwed....Basically starting ftom scratch

[@ab-nz2mm]

I watched this whole video and her insane wrist lag was never addressed. L

[@mivesgolfpga4040]

Because the wrist lag is a result, not a cause.

[@MyTPI]

Wrist lag isn't necessarily a bad thing (Sergio seems to have had success with a similar move!). Our goal isn't to completely change a pros swing when they come in and see us for a day. It's to help them understand 1) what they are doing (our 3D system is really helpful for this) and, more importantly, 2) why they might be doing it that way (through physical screening). Then when they are working on their game they will have a better idea of the physical and technical elements that underpin their performance

[@ab-nz2mm]
