The Number One Reason Players Early Extend In The Golf Swing

[@RobertMacCready]

That looks like an amazing "coiling" action on the back swing. This was an amazing video. Thanks to both of you for sharing.

[@CogornoGolf]

Hope this one helps, Robert!

@@CogornoGolf Went to the range this am. Your instructional video WORKS. Hitting 3 woods on a rope and my driver is way past the 200-yard post. Actually, was losing site of the ball. I'd say I added at least 30 yards or more. MEGA THANKS for the help.

[@phildodd4117]

Great video because it shows where shoulders should be at top of backswing and then Eric’s rotation of right hip to get it in position to bring the club to the ball. It produces a smooth natural swing. Great!

[@CogornoGolf]

Thanks Phil! Hope it serves you well!

[@rw_golf6387]

This is great stuff. However, you have to be careful and not force what you cannot do. This is where many people get in trouble. They look good until they try and force the last 10 degrees of shoulder and scapula rotation. As a result, they stand up and/or lift the arms resulting in a loss of posture and depth. Need to stick with what you can do and slowly build up your flexibility over several months. Add the rotation and depth slowly over time but make sure you never lose your posture. Use a video camera. If you see issues, back off and continue to work on your flexibility.

[@brucemarshall1439]

Hey guys, that's a really good move for me who tends to get "out to in" too much. I love that feel of the right scapula getting in front of the spine. Thanks very much for that, I'm looking forward to seeing how well that works for me!! 😁

[@CogornoGolf]

Hope it serves you well Bruce!!

[@texasryan5604]

Your content makes so much sense to me. Appreciate you

[@CogornoGolf]

Thanks Ryan! Appreciate you being here with us!

[@nelsonjames1272]

Lead arm might have a problem getting back there with it though for many who aren’t as flexible in that area. Re- Jon Rahm and others. Hip structure isn’t restricted but shoulders are.

[@CogornoGolf]

Could be!

[@kevinvanry636]

early extension is literally part of my swing lol i'm definitely giving this a shot and will try to work this into my swing routine. pure gold, as always!

[@CogornoGolf]

Thanks Kevin! Hope this one helps ya man!!

[@Omnis2]

Bringing your shoulder around with the scap retracted is easy. How on earth do you hold onto the club with the lead arm when you do this though?

[@CogornoGolf]

Yeah it just wont go as far when you have both hands on it. But nice to do with trail arm only to get an exaggerated feel. Then with both hands on probably can only do 70-80% of that....thats normal....no way around it. Good point

[@themiddleman781]

I have been video taping my swing and it’s shocking how the reality of what I’m doing does not match up with what I think I’m doing. I recommend it to everyone. But be prepared to make some big changes.

[@CogornoGolf]

100% agreed----so wild when you first see it!

[@roblockhart8410]

I almost quit after I saw what I looked like

[@stevestrang480]

Retraction of the shoulders is my key to help me get my weight left. Also getting backswing depth helps me eliminate thin and fat shots

[@CogornoGolf]

👊👊 Appreciate you being here with us, Steve!

[@jupitergolfandre]

I think you may have finally nailed the MAIN fix for early extension. word to everyone: This isn't resolved overnight.. there is a lot of work involved.

[@CogornoGolf]

100% Definetly one of the few main root causes!

[@vicpnut1]

Wow …”lead arm on the shoulder plane” turned on a light bulb for me ..i have to go to the range , NOW 😬👍🏼off to try this and pray for NO snap hooks thanks

[@CogornoGolf]

Hope this one helps, Vic!

[@vicpnut1]

@@CogornoGolfthanks , it did ,sort of….instead of back and forth left ,right left, Right …i was 95% left with a lil draw …it was a tad annoying , but, a huge improvement from the day b4 of back and forth all over the place…still cant hit long clubs hardly at all ,with driver now staying in bag permanently and 3w,5w, and 3i only off tee.. oh and i also gained distance with this …hopefully get aim figured out today at range

[@vicpnut1]

Also noticed that the “time” mentioned ,for me, was deliberate ..meaning i slowed my backswing substantially. So much so that i thought i was gonna lose distance and clean contact at first…but soon found if i tried speeding it up thats when i would lose it all ..think i am finally starting to really understand tempo , possibly lol

[@bassmasta9117]

I have a swing thought that my actual head correlates with the club head. If I keep my head at the same spot it was at set up, the club head will most likely return to the same spot too.

[@CogornoGolf]

👊Nice! Appreciate ya watching!

[@johnatchley9754]

Excellent demonstration. But can an 83 year old, even one who has played for over 60 years and practices regularly, turn that far? What do you recommend for that player?

[@CogornoGolf]

Hey John! Yeah I hear ya...if you search my name and "senior" here on KZbin you'll see a bunch of videos where I advise for that with a lot more details than I can respond with here....hope those help!

[@DerhythM]

For me i have to feel like i turn more level, when i do turn like the video sometimes i overturned and cross the line

[@CogornoGolf]

Yep def see that sometimes

[@bennylindamood1125]

What if I’m too deep. Or low in my take away?

[@CogornoGolf]

Hey Benny! Would really need to see your swing on video to give you the best advice here, otherwise we'd be guessing too much. Send us your swings to CogornoGolf.com so we can build you a custom practice plan👊

[@Tom_Swift]

Looks like the membership is sold out! Well, slightly sad for me but great for you, congrats on selling out 👊

[@CogornoGolf]

Hey Tom! We are not sold out.....are you seeing that somewhere? We WILL sell out lol but you should be able to sign up still from now through end of day Friday right at www.cogornogolf.com Please let me know if you are having any issues---can send us a message to [e-mail] directly and we can help there as well

[@AaronBrabham-g8s]

@@CogornoGolf I signed up and submitted my first swing to the FB group. INSTANTLY incredible feedback. And guess what, I have a tendency to early extend, so this video is perfect timing. Your video library and master classes are incredible bonus. Worth more than I am paying, but I'm happy to pay what I am haha.

[@CogornoGolf]

Hell yeah! Love to hear it and appreciate you being with us :)

[@GolfLifer67]

Cool video. Fuck early extension! Horrible move

[@CogornoGolf]

Lol 100%!

[@caseykelly6421]

Nothing new here

[@CogornoGolf]

Hey Casey! Agreed---most everything we talk about has been around forever....we're just passing along some thing we've learned to try and help everyone play better! All the best

[@carcose]

20 minutes... Too much

[@CogornoGolf]

Probably true! Thanks for the feedback!

[@TonyRotella]

If you think 20 minutes is too long, the 6-12 months of work to fix your early extension ain't happenin'! ;)

[@bassmasta9117]

Watch it on 2X speed and it becomes 10 minutes 😉
