Early extension is one of the biggest oscillation errors Among the recreation players. But despite its spread, many players don’t even know it exists.
If you are one of those who is not completely sure what early reach is – or how you damage your swing – here is a quick refresh. In simple words, early extension is when your pelvis moves towards the ball while landing. When this happens, it limits the space for your wings while landing and makes you get too steep or have the arms to grip after you. Just say, if you ever hear the phrase “early extension”, it rarely means anything good.
This is a shaky flaw that is a killer for recreation players, but even among the good, it is something they always try to avoid. The case at the point, Justin Rose. The former US Open champion is one of the best ball strikers in the game, but also for him, the close threat of early extension always has him to work on his behavior while landing.
In the video below, you can see Rose talking about it – and the way he works to keep himself not fall victim to early stretches.
The secret to adjusting early extension
If you look at Rose Play on the tournament, you will notice that he always makes a specific tasting test, where he exaggerates by bowing forward on the hips as he drops his arms. It seems a little strange, but it serves a specific purpose.
One of the things Rose does especially well with his swinging is to create space for his wings while landing, and this happens all thanks to this shaky exam.
“I can feel like I’m really pushing my toes at the bottom of the shoes,” Rose says. “Pushing left, kicking forward, this will push my left hip (back), creating the space I need to have my hands near my body.”
It may seem counterintors for Rose to push his weight TO The ball to fight early extension, but his physics makes sense. Newton’s third law of movement states that for every action there is an equal and reverse reaction, and this shaky feeling is a major example of this. When Rosa pushes on his lead finger, the soil pushes back and helps him get his riding from the road.
“As soon as I’m getting in (my hips), my hands are now blocked,” Rose says. “Or the only other option I have received are my thighs that insert (and) my wings are stirring and I’m cutting the ball.”
