Shaft Through Belt Loops
Take an alignment rod and place it through your belt loops. Practice SLOW downswings where you swing above the shaft sticking out the trail side of your belt loops. If you early extend, you will likely hit the shaft with your arms.

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.760
Okay, this drill is shaft through belt loops, and it's another drill to help
2
00:00:04.760 --> 00:00:05.380
you with your
3
00:00:05.380 --> 00:00:07.940
early extension pattern.
4
00:00:07.940 --> 00:00:10.340
What you're going to do is you're going to take an old shaft or one of those
5
00:00:10.340 --> 00:00:10.760
alignment
6
00:00:10.760 --> 00:00:14.430
sticks and stick it through the front belt loops so that it's kind of sticking
7
00:00:14.430 --> 00:00:14.800
out to
8
00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:17.760
your sides just like so.
9
00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:23.210
If you take your backswing and you early extend, what will happen is this stick
10
00:00:23.210 --> 00:00:23.640
is going to
11
00:00:23.640 --> 00:00:27.040
get in the way of the path that my club wants to travel on.
12
00:00:27.040 --> 00:00:30.770
If you keep your hips back and your chest stays down, you'll actually have
13
00:00:30.770 --> 00:00:31.340
plenty of
14
00:00:31.340 --> 00:00:36.440
room for your arms to swing through without actually hitting the shaft.
15
00:00:36.440 --> 00:00:39.080
Do this at slow motion first.
16
00:00:39.080 --> 00:00:42.520
I'd recommend never taking kind of a full crack at it with this just because
17
00:00:42.520 --> 00:00:43.080
the wrist
18
00:00:43.080 --> 00:00:45.240
reward isn't really worth it.
19
00:00:45.240 --> 00:00:51.580
But for slower tempo swings, this is a great tool for learning how to overcome
20
00:00:51.580 --> 00:00:52.480
the early
21
00:00:52.480 --> 00:00:56.560
extension pattern because the feedback is so severe.
22
00:00:56.560 --> 00:01:01.110
It really likes the feeling of having their hands or the club strike this shaft
23
00:01:01.110 --> 00:01:01.340
.
24
00:01:01.340 --> 00:01:04.360
So work at it very slowly.
25
00:01:04.360 --> 00:01:05.560
Use the butt fingerprint.
26
00:01:05.560 --> 00:01:09.210
You can combine this with some of the other drills to kind of get a spatial
27
00:01:09.210 --> 00:01:09.720
awareness
28
00:01:09.720 --> 00:01:12.320
of where your hands need to go.
29
00:01:12.320 --> 00:01:17.860
But this is one of my favorite drills for helping overcome especially field
30
00:01:17.860 --> 00:01:18.960
golfers, overcoming
31
00:01:18.960 --> 00:01:20.680
the early extension pattern.
32
00:01:20.680 --> 00:01:22.680
So give it a try.
33
00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:25.280
It should help you learn where your pelvis and your upper body need to be
34
00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:25.760
during the
35
00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:26.300

00:00:30.770 --> 00:00:31.340
plenty of
14
00:00:31.340 --> 00:00:36.440
