In this riveting video from Coach Lockey, he unveils a groundbreaking golf drill to eradicate the dreaded early extension in your swing. Early extension, that devilish move where your hips lunge towards the ball, wreaking havoc on your posture and ball contact. The culprit? An open club face and the improper push-off from your trail foot. But fear not, for Coach Lockey has the remedy - a simple yet ingenious solution involving a humble piece of cardboard under your foot. This nifty trick teaches you to slide your foot in the downswing, akin to an ice skater or a bowler releasing a ball, resulting in a smoother release and ideal swing path. By pushing off the big toe ball of your foot instead of sideways, you'll bid farewell to early extension and welcome improved ball flight.
Practice this technique with short shots before unleashing it in full swings, witnessing an instant transformation in your game. Coach Lockey even draws a parallel to the footwork of golfing sensation Scotty Sheffer, the current number one in the world. Remember, alongside this drill, always check for an open club face as another potential culprit behind early extension.
