Distance Wedge Chest Bump

One of the key moves for elite distance wedge play is spine extension. For a lot of golfers, the feeling of stretching their abs is a more comfortable feel than trying to go into spine extension. I often use the image of a chest bump, or ab stretch, through the release to get this movement in an athletic way. In order for this movement to work, you have to be pretty stacked over the lead foot early in the downswing (around p5). But if you get there, then this movement helps keep the centers stacked and shallow out the bottom of the swing.
