One SIMPLE DRILL that FIXED my EARLY EXTENSION!! #golfswing #golftips #golfinstruction

In this video, I share how the ANCHOR DRILL transformed my swing! By ANCHORING THE TRAIL FOOT throughout the swing, this drill prevents the TRAIL HIP, KNEE, AND SHOULDER from moving toward the golf ball, helping to STABILIZE THE PELVIS.

At 53, I know how challenging it can be for AGING ATHLETES to maintain mobility. Achieving TOUR-QUALITY BODY DYNAMICS isn't practical or achievable for many golfers - myself included! This simple yet EFFECTIVE GOLF DRILL helped me create ROOM FOR MY ARMS to swing freely UNDER my BODY! I'm confident that with some effective practice - The ANCHOR DRILL will limit your EARLY EXTENSION too, so you can stay on top of the ball longer for better BALL CONTACT!!

Start SLOWLY and progress at your own pace. As you improve, you can begin to SEQUENCE THE TRAIL FOOT WITH YOUR ARM SWING, eventually transitioning back into a regular swing!

Give this a try, and let me know how it helps your game! Enjoy the video, and thank you for WATCHING, LIKING, COMMENTING, and SUBSCRIBING to my channel.

Get after it!

Struggle with early extension , I knoww from video of my swing back foot lifts early so maybe this is what I need to try focusing on!!! Can't wait to try it Thnx!

This is the first advice to avoid early extension that I am excited to try.
Hoping for a game changer

Great vid. There are a few different ways to "feel" this in the swing. An easy one you can do right now is to feel like you're keeping your trail buttock deep (pointing backwards) at start of downswing. To push your butt backwards (and keep chest down) you need to use that planted trail foot. So same logic and mechanic, just "feeling" it using your bum rather than your foot. Stand up now, pretend to make a swing but keep the right (trail) buttock deep on downswing transition. If you look down at your right (trail) foot at same time you'll see it remains flat. This gives you space to move that trail elbow down "into the slot". Hope this helps someone.

Thank you this is my big problems

Thanks for the brilliant explanation! I reckon I've seen approx. 1 million videos on the golf swing and early extension, but this one really clarified the problem! Can't wait to hit the driving range next time and implement the anchor drill.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! After doing this for about 5 balls, it transformed my contact immediately. I've been struggling for a long time with early extension and in 5 minutes this drill fixed it. 🙏

Nice one to remind us to keep the trail foot steady! I actually pretend I screw the ball of my trail foot in the ground by lifting my toes. Works better for me than the wedge under the foot - can only hit half shots with that drill because I tend to stop transferring my weight forward if I make the swing any longer. Love your channel Andrew, one of the few (if not the only) that gave me effective tips to cure my tendency to overdraw and hook my irons.

This is gold. A real light bulb moment.

Haha, great timing with respect to my recent comments! This is a wonderful thing to practice for anyone, but particularly those of us who grew up on the Hogan book, Jimmy Ballard ("fire the right side") and all the "turn your shoulders and rotate those hips" instructors. Seems the quieter my body remains the better my swing becomes; who knew? Well, you did 😉

Such great content- thank you so much. The late Manuel de la Torre I felt did a great job of expanding upon Ernest Jone’s teaching of swinging the club head. I feel you do a fantastic job of expanding upon MDLT’s teachings. For most of my life fell into the incorrect thought and feeling that the body and feet needed to “drive” the swing. You help me understand that a strength in a golf swing is one’s ability to hold onto one’s balance in relationship to the speed one swings the club head. I like the way you explain how the body supports the swinging of the arms/clubhead and that the body- torso/legs/ feet needed to follow and not be the leader!

As I am now in my early 70s, I have been fighting worsening early extension over the last decade. I will certainly give this drill a chance the next time I’m out on the range.

Of interest, I watched a young female golfer who takes instruction at my course doing this exact same drill a couple of months ago when she was in for a lesson. I had no idea why she was doing it but now I do. She also happens to be a recent US amateur champion so apparently it works!
Thanks for your great content .

@davidclark7167 1 year ago

Perfectly articulated Andrew what you’re recommending to correct early extension! Thank you! Plan to try it tomorrow when I can practice. 🤞🏻

@Esoxfan 11 months ago

This was fantastic I watched 5 videos before this on EE and this did the trick. I didn’t realize I was lifting my right foot, thank you so much

@bh5606 1 year ago

Must be Saturday. Nice drill.

@FG-gh7wv 1 year ago

Thank you Andrew. I have been unable to play due to a ruptured tendon. I am far enough along to do some slow mo drills. Many thanks for you video and interaction. All the bests!

@Gerbytastic 1 year ago

Having gone from 4.1 to 9.8 in the last two years … I can’t wait to try this. I’ll let you know 🤗👍

Another great golf swing tip Warren! Thank you so much! 😍👏👏👏

This is really useful as early extension is an issue for me. Interestingly I just happened to view it after seeing a joint video by two other instructors I respect and watch regularly. Giles Gill from England got together with Eric Cogorno here in the US for a video about why many golfers have trouble rotating. They focused on the lead leg, getting weight shifted onto that leg early and then pushing with the ball of the lead foot to create hip rotation. They emphasized keeping the glutes back, thus providing exactly the room for the arms to swing that you also stress. They did not mention keeping the trail heel down that is the essence of your lesson. However, from what I can see that is in fact what they do. The full move up on to the trail toe takes place at the end of a full swing, just as you show. And looking at your video, while you do not talk about the lead leg and foot, it seems to me that you are pushing off the ball of your left or lead foot which produces exactly the rotation that Eric and Giles are talking about. So there is complete consistency and congruence between both videos. This is just what I would expect from all three of you because to me your instructions on the fundamentals are so sound. So it is doubly useful to watch both videos together. Thanks for your great advice as ever.

I am someone who I believe lifts my back foot. A lot of my shots are pretty good however, I do chunk or top the ball quite often, more than I would like to. Listening to you I can understand the reasons why I do this. I do have one question though; How do I anchor my back foot but not stay too far back in the golf swing? I appreciate your videos and support of us. Normal golfers out there. I have learned so much watching and following you. Thank you!

@dogloverjb6873 1 year ago

I think of pushing my butt back a bit or even still on my downswing.... it keeps the back foot down longer and is alot easier to focus on a big body part than a foot.
