How To Stay In Posture Throughout Your Golf Swing | Early Extension Fix

Today we're going to talk about how to maintain

your

stance

throughout

the entire

golf

swing

and everything you need to know about using lateral bend

throughout

the

swing

. I thought it would be a perfect time to do this because joaquin neiman just won the genesis Invitational. and no one bows as much as he does before entering this video. Thank you all so much for tuning in if you haven't liked this video yet, help the algorithm get more people to see this video and if you have, don't forget to subscribe, all the support here on youtube has meant a lot to me Without further ado, let's get straight to the video.

Staying in

posture

throughout the entire

golf

swing is very important. What do we see from the majority of fans? More amateur or tall. Disabled golfers will stand during impact. Early

extension

that slows down

your

rotation requires really bad and inconsistent contact, which is why

stay

ing in the stance is so important. Whatever

posture

we are in in a dress, it is the posture we want to maintain throughout our entire golf swing. This will lead to more consistent hits, it will lead to better rotation and more power. Well, one thing we talked about a little bit is lateral curvature.

Well, what is lateral curvature and why do we need it? A good example here is if we were standing. Right in our golf swing, things would be a lot easier, okay, more like a baseball swing. What I can do is just rotate my body left and right, well the upper and lower part of my body up and right all day without any problem when I am standing straight, this is the problem with the golf and one of the things that makes golf really difficult we're not standing straight up and down okay we're leaning at an angle so if we're turning standing straight like that no. problem as soon as I lean at that angle if I do the same rotation what happens my upper body will go left and right okay just like my hand here if I have my hand here I can rotate it this way there is no problem as soon as I put my hand at an angle and turn it, what happens?

Well, the hands come out to the left and to the right, they no longer rotate in a standard position. Okay, so we have that illustration that if I start as soon as I start leaning. my body goes left and right, that's why we need to add a lateral bend in our golf swing as we rotate, so if I'm leaning here and I say I swing back without adding a lateral bend, the my upper body will come out my feet line up here nicely as soon as I add a side bend if I lean to my left side for a right handed golfer and my backswing will hold me and put me back in the most centered and standard position, it's okay, for a right-handed golfer as we swing back, okay, the right hip comes back behind us, the left hip moves toward the golf ball, okay, we're going to feel more lateral flexion on our left side here to

stay

in posture, okay, as we lower and rotate our left hip in our downswing comes back behind us as right-handed golfers, that's when we're going to feel our right side bend here, okay, this is one of the reasons why that golfers, some golfers make it to the top, okay, we talk about if we lean. and we don't add lateral flexion, what happens?

Our body comes out in front of us, the upper body comes out in front of us here, it comes out of our foot line, so what happens there if we don't add proper lateral flexion in the downswing? the upper body comes to the front, which makes this movement okay, so just adding a lateral bend here on the downswing with the right side, that can improve your swing path, okay, so not everyone They'll be able to bend as much as they need to, I know. If I tried to swing like him, I'd probably break something, but it's good to do these stretches, okay, put your hands out, the left hand goes above your head, you'll feel a little bit of a stretch here, okay, just lean to the side, so we are adding. this rotation with this movement, if you're someone who extends

early

, okay, one thing we can think of is that the left hip is going back and I want you to feel a little bit of tension, okay, on this right side, okay, that will keep our chest down that we talked about, I mean, we've talked in other videos about how keeping our chest down is very important to help us extend

early

if our chest stays down, we can't extend it early if our chest stays up. down and we extended it early.

I would fall for a good exercise is the club across the chest exercise all we are doing is putting the club across the chest we are going into golf stance we are going to have a golf ball in front of us here and what we are What we are doing is in our backswing, we're bringing our butt to the grip and pointing at the golf ball, okay, so I want those hips to open up, the right hip is working behind us and we're going to feel a little bit of tension here . on our left side and that will be the left side curve, okay as we rotate down, the left hip comes back behind us, the left knee comes forward like this and then starts to extend the shoulders, we rotate and then we will hit the head of the pointing stick on the ball and we're going to feel some tension here on our right side, okay, it's a great exercise to help maintain posture.

Many golfers talk about keeping their heads down. You hear a lot of people say that, which is not necessarily true. Furthermore, we want to keep our chest down, okay, our head can turn this way, so one thing you'll see in Joaquin Neiman's swing is that, when he's at address, his head actually moves this way. , okay, it's almost parallel to the ground, it's not standing. Okay, and outside of this, okay, if you're starting to reach for your ball like this, that's a bad thing, but a good exercise might be to just be in posture here, make some changes and feel like your right ear, well, it sank into the ground. your right ear is like pointing at your golf ball, okay, this movement here with the head going this way will help us rotate.

You see Dustin Johnson do that Dustin Johnson thing a lot if you pause the video of him before he hits a wedge. Your face is actually facing the target before you even hit the golf ball, so I feel like we're adding a side bend here, the head turns this way as we turn and move, that will really help you stay on target. the place. posture and hit better golf shots, so remember we can't just rotate well, we can't just rotate like we're standing up and down. I wish that was the case, if we played golf like that it would be a lot easier esp.

For me, we have to understand our body as we rotate the lower body, the upper body also rotates, we will add a lateral bend, okay in our backswing and we will add a lateral bend along the way, we will let the head turn. In this way, arrow

extension

is something that I have really struggled with in my game, it is not easy to fix but it takes a lot of work, it starts from scratch, it starts with the stretching exercise, a lot of people don't swing correctly because they don't have enough mobility in your golf swing, so make sure you adopt a stretching routine that you do every day if you really want to improve your game, work on things around the house, work on the club through chest exercise.

This is an exercise that you can do at home. Well, work on getting proper rotation so your left hip is working backward. The left knee goes to the left and then extends. One thing I'll do at home is I'll just do a Here are a bunch of exercises where I just do this movement and practice my movement through impact right in front of the mirror. Well, I'll do a bunch of those and then I'll do it the other way around, with my left hand, where I'm trying it. to get my belt to the target okay hips go back and the final piece of the puzzle we said side bend if you had to drink every time I said side bend in this video you would get hit right now but yeah that's the final piece.

It's bending to one side like I said, there's no way I can do it like Joaquin Neiman does, but it's getting better, we're going to feel like our ear is going down towards the golf ball, okay, we're going to feel some tension here . Another exercise I wanted to mention that we can do, we talk about this a lot, is this preset impact position, okay, so we get in front of this ball here, we're going to stand up straight up and down, what's going to happen? our hips are going to move towards the target shoulder chest towards the target good the club will stay here arms closer together we talked about this before in videos how these arms are closer together closer together these arms impact with the irons, better the hips are open the shoulders are open arms together here and what's the last piece wait for it bend to the right side bend down hands are in front bend down right here we can get into this position hold on it's going to hurt good it will especially for those who they don't turn much in their golf swing something I'm working on they're going to feel tension in different areas it's okay to hold this position for a while or you can hold it well, set up here, set up to the ball, stand up, open, open, hold this position, okay and then we can go ahead and swing and hit a real shot.

I don't like to take a full swing from this position, but I'd like to come back about halfway through and take a shot, so sooner. -getting rid of the pre-established impact position, we're doing well, it's not great contact, but we're going up. I felt like it was a little off the heel, and for me, off the heel means I'll stay lower when I extend the pull-up early. other than that was when I made shots miles away from the toe, well, pre-shot, pre-set impact position down and that was it, that was much better, much better impact, so I hope this video helps you keep up in the posture a little more rotate, this is something that if you struggle with this, it is not an easy fix, this is something that requires a lot of work, but most of this work can be done in repetition at home.

These exercises can be done at home, working on them at home, working on stretching routines. I will really, really help you move better and hit better golf shots.
