00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.000
All right, this is a good at-home drill for you to do to work on your early
2
00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:09.240
extension. It's called your Iron Man golf swing. So I'm a big fan of some of
3
00:00:09.240 --> 00:00:09.320
the
4
00:00:09.320 --> 00:00:12.500
comic book movies. Iron Man's probably my favorite. He's got this bright
5
00:00:12.500 --> 00:00:12.960
shining
6
00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:17.180
lights glowing away from his chest. So you're gonna take your hands and you're
7
00:00:17.180 --> 00:00:21.360
gonna make the little Iron Man signal and you're gonna make your back swing
8
00:00:21.360 --> 00:00:25.600
focusing on this Iron Man movement pointing along the target line kind of
9
00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:29.700
back behind you. And then the important thing for you early extenders is when
10
00:00:29.700 --> 00:00:35.750
you come down you want to make sure that that Iron Man signal is pointing out
11
00:00:35.750 --> 00:00:36.020
in
12
00:00:36.020 --> 00:00:39.040
front of the golf ball on the target line. Maybe three or four feet out in
13
00:00:39.040 --> 00:00:44.480
front just like so where you would be at impact. If you early extend what will
14
00:00:44.480 --> 00:00:48.480
happen is your hips will move forward and your chest or your upper body will
15
00:00:48.480 --> 00:00:53.480
be pointed way out into the horizon. So you got to make sure that your chest
16
00:00:53.480 --> 00:00:58.040
stays covering the golf ball. If Iron Man were hitting the golf ball he would
17
00:00:58.040 --> 00:01:00.780
know exactly where his chest was pointing and it would be a great little
18
00:01:00.780 --> 00:01:01.100
feedback
19
00:01:01.100 --> 00:01:06.180
tool. So you can practice this at home. You could potentially practice it with
20
00:01:06.180 --> 00:01:11.300
hitting little nine to three shots but by putting your hands here kind of
21
00:01:11.300 --> 00:01:14.420
locks your shoulders from doing it so that your body has to make the full
22
00:01:14.420 --> 00:01:17.820
movement. So I recommend this as a home drill as opposed to a range drill.
