- Identify the signs of early extension in your swing
- Feel how a proper pelvic shift can improve your strike
- Practice weight sequencing to enhance your overall swing mechanics
In this video, you'll learn the pelvic punch drill to combat early extension in your golf swing. This drill will help you develop better weight transfer and sequencing for more consistent contact.

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.720
This drill is the pelvic punch for early extenders. You may remember the pelvic
2
00:00:04.720 --> 00:00:09.440
punch from the lag or how to create power section, but it's a really good drill
3
00:00:09.440 --> 00:00:14.040
for early extenders because typically if you early extend and you try the
4
00:00:14.040 --> 00:00:14.360
pelvic
5
00:00:14.360 --> 00:00:19.690
punch you're gonna hit either fat shots or top shots. So it's a good self-lim
6
00:00:19.690 --> 00:00:19.880
iting
7
00:00:19.880 --> 00:00:25.640
drill because you're gonna struggle with it and hate it. So just a reminder of
8
00:00:25.640 --> 00:00:29.720
what the pelvic punch drill is. You're gonna do the 9 o'clock position, you're
9
00:00:29.720 --> 00:00:34.520
gonna freeze right there, and then from this position from a dead stop you're
10
00:00:34.520 --> 00:00:40.760
going to try and hit the ball almost as hard as you can by shifting your weight
11
00:00:40.760 --> 00:00:40.760
,
12
00:00:40.760 --> 00:00:45.520
sequencing the lower body first, and then the upper body. So if you were to
13
00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:45.800
stand
14
00:00:45.800 --> 00:00:50.720
up from this short swing you're not gonna have nearly enough time to adjust for
15
00:00:50.720 --> 00:00:54.440
the change in your upper body and so you're probably gonna have the club
16
00:00:54.440 --> 00:01:00.920
bottom out behind it and either hit it fat or top the ball. A good little tip
17
00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:05.280
for those trying to overcome this early extension while doing this pelvic
18
00:01:05.280 --> 00:01:09.720
punch drill is to think about this pelvis here and almost like you're doing a
19
00:01:09.720 --> 00:01:13.880
little reverse crunch because when you early extend you can see that my
20
00:01:13.880 --> 00:01:18.790
abdominals actually get stretched out, right? Early extension is associated
21
00:01:18.790 --> 00:01:18.920
with
22
00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:23.040
back pain if you remember from the overview video because I'm overusing my
23
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:30.020
back muscles and not using my glutes and my abs. So use this as a feeling of
24
00:01:30.020 --> 00:01:33.240
almost doing a little reverse crunch that will help keep you covering the
25
00:01:33.240 --> 00:01:37.480
golf ball which will help make you aware of the problem that's causing you to
26
00:01:37.480 --> 00:01:40.080
early extend.
