Early extension often starts before the swing even begins. Shaun Webb explains how setup and weight position can make it harder to rotate, then shows a simple wall drill to help you get balanced at address and prevent early extension.

Great tip. I take lessons and have seen in video I suffer from early extension. My solution was always to push the hips back at address! Seems counter intuative not to do that- but your explanation makes sense. Thanks.
Shaun, Could that be what leads to the dreaded shanks? I had a good round started and felt confident with my swing but suddenly started shanking it. The drives were fine but my iron game fell apart. I felt like my body was leaning in but I struggled to fix it during the round. What’s a mid-round fix to combat that issue?
Very helpful. I’ll try it at home (the wall) and the range today. The role of the hips is something I need to better understand.
Awesome tip!! Once you do this euogh times it will become second nature! This has been one of my set thoughts for a long time and you my friend simplified it here! Thx !!
thank you , I am going to try this today! Lord knows I needed to watch this! :)
