I early extend and go into early right side bend during transition. Ive been told that I need to work on getting into forward flexion prior to extending through the release. When I do this though, I get incredibly steep and over the top. How do you go about separating the two and getting chest down, without shaft steepening?

Hi Garrett,
I think what you're struggling with is a common challenge for golfers. I'd call it balancing your steeps and shallows. Tilting back and early extension are both adding extra shallowness to your swing, which means there has to be extra steepness somewhere else. Usually it's the arms. So I'm guessing your arms are working more steep than you'd like, which makes you get steep when you stay in your posture. If you want more direct help, post a swing to this thread and I'll take a look.
happy golfing,
Tyler
