What Causes Early Extension?

The hips thrust toward the ball in the downswing, blocking the arms and causing pushes, hooks, and thin shots.

The hips moving toward the ball (losing the tilt) in the downswing. Best seen from face-on view.

Key frames to check:

  • P4 — hip position relative to setup
  • P6 — has the hip line changed? Are they closer to the ball?
