I swear this man is spying on me at the range because this is exactly what I was doing just yesterday. Thank you as always for the excellent content JKM!
I need that Titleist bag asap! Jonathan is the best instructor on UA-cam. I've worked with enough coaches for 100 people from my days as a junior to my time playing for Clemson University. I'm here to tell you this dude is the only UA-camr you need. There is about 5-10 swing instructors I have seen on UA-cam teaching correctly.
That is one of the best lessons on early extension because you go into the reasons why we do it and not just modify swing , this will be very helpful as I am a notorious early extender , thank you
You Sir are a genius , finally after one and a half years of constantly topping my driver today I got all my shots off . So simple all in the set up and little to no swing thoughts . I am most thankful for this lesson , the first pro who has sorted it .
Please do a video on weight shift during the transition, which actually starts during the backswing, before the backswing is even finished. Hard concept. Most people complete backswing and THEN start weight shift, which is too late!
Jonathon, some people say that early extension is not a root problem but actually a needed cure for golfers with an early release so they don’t hit the ball fat. Could you do a video on this or comment on it? Thanks
That movement "against the wall" was really clear to see on Tiger's swing. Now I know why 👌 He was obsessed on keeping his butt against the wall in order to avoid early extension.
Hey, thanks for the video. Can I just ask - in your "actual" golf shot around 7:45 - you don't seem to be hitting that noodle when you push your butt back. In that pump drill you illustrated, you do, but then in the actual shot, I don't see you pushing back towards the noodle. How come?
Love your stuff. This one is a bit confusing. With all the discussion of ground force and with the undeniably greatest source of power being leg extension, it seems the modern swing almost appears to be a jump. I guess Lexi Thompson would be the best example of this. The old school concept of bowing down to the ball seems to have disappeared. Screwing yourself into the ground and using leg force downwards to undo it would be probably the best description of what I thought makes sense. Tiger's blowing out his knee with hyper-extension is another, probably bad, example. In doing this, I definitely have the sense that I am moving upwards away from the ball. Please contrast early extension with Lexi's move. Thanks.
I think if you watch a slow mo of Lexi's swing you'll see her hips have already rotated and cleared before her 'jumping' motion to generate power. In the case of early extension it seems that the player 'humps' the ball before/during the rotation causing mishits, duffs, etc.
@@konnorkanetani6414 interesting comment but pretty much impossible physically. Screw your self into the ground loaded into your right side. Now try to clear your hips without pushing down on the ground, which is the mechanism that clears the hips. I teach tennis and the same concept holds.
In order to launch off the ground well you need to load into the ground first. For example, you jump a lot higher when you crouch first as opposed to from a standing position. Early extenders never load down into the ground. So you are correct, ground forces = speed, but if you've extended from the transition, you have nothing left to launch with into and through impact.
Question: regarding a good setup position … Should the clubhead be FLAT on the ground at setup? (heel & toe) It seems during the swing, because of centrifugal force, at impact the club shaft bends down a bit and therefore the toe of the club also bends down (true or false?) So, at setup, should the toe of the clubhead be slightly up off the ground? I add least wondered about this 🤔
@@JKMGolf but if you do not have a club head flat at address, wouldn't it come down not flat at impact too? if you flatten it during impact, wouldn't that mean you are messing around with your wrist angle just before impact?
I worry that by driving my butt, back into the imaginary wall..( set up showing the noodle at 6:05 ) I will begin to hit fat shots, or too much of the ground with my irons.....thanks

My biggest problem atm is not fun
Same. I was just struggling with this.
So many online golf coaches seem like country club bros with more attitude than information. Your lessons are smart, clear and humbly presented.

This man gives up so many gems , thank you my game is improving with each video I watch , then translate to my swing
My game improved after watching your videos for the first time! Best instructor and videos in golf bar none! Thank you!
Thanks!
That is one of the best lessons on early extension because you go into the reasons why we do it and not just modify swing , this will be very helpful as I am a notorious early extender , thank you
Thanks for sharing this great video. Jonathan. Taking it to range to practice.😁😁😁
Best instructor I’ve seen so far
You Sir are a genius , finally after one and a half years of constantly topping my driver today I got all my shots off . So simple all in the set up and little to no swing thoughts . I am most thankful for this lesson , the first pro who has sorted it .
I feel the same. He seems to always touch on things I need to learn or do better. He is terrific at simplifying it also.
Another great video from the best coach on the internet!
Very helpful! This is my #1 problem. I’ll give these drills a try. Thanks!
This is very good. Relating early extension to setup and posture is different to most other videos on this topic. Many thanks.
Wow, so many things to work on after watching this video.
Appreciate all the great info.
Please do a video on weight shift during the transition, which actually starts during the backswing, before the backswing is even finished. Hard concept. Most people complete backswing and THEN start weight shift, which is too late!
Thank you so much for this. Very helpful drills to take to the range.
My dude wow. Excellent video. Just what i needed thank you. Keep up the great work..🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Very good lesson J. Thanks a bunch
This video is a huge help! This video is exactly what I needed. I watched my swing I do push right knee to ball and heal up 👍🏼
Jonathan, c. You a series on POV setup and swing videos. Great work!!! Really appreciate your videos.
Really like this lesson. Thanks
Absolutely incredible!
Thank you bro. You make me got the golf game perfectly.
Thank you, this was very helpful!
Very good drill for not only early extension but i think this will help stabilize and control the lower body. Thanks a lot!
Been waiting too long for next swing video
Jonathon, some people say that early extension is not a root problem but actually a needed cure for golfers with an early release so they don’t hit the ball fat. Could you do a video on this or comment on it? Thanks
Jonathan, are you also a club fitter at golftec?
When I keep my butt back, I can't get any forward shift. Weight gets on my heels and I can't shift forward.
That movement "against the wall" was really clear to see on Tiger's swing. Now I know why 👌 He was obsessed on keeping his butt against the wall in order to avoid early extension.
Nice video. Thanks.
Great drill!
Great tips, since I am standing a bit far from the the ball, do you have a correct measurement where should I stand behind the ball?
Hey, thanks for the video. Can I just ask - in your "actual" golf shot around 7:45 - you don't seem to be hitting that noodle when you push your butt back. In that pump drill you illustrated, you do, but then in the actual shot, I don't see you pushing back towards the noodle. How come?
Maybe because it's a drill that exxagerates the technique for those who don't push back at all.
nice explanation. frequently been topping the ball🤪
sub'd! I like your explanations and drills. thanks!
I am also doing early extension perhaps because of two reasons, one is more focusing on my swing and secondly a fear of duffing..

Kim,Staggered trail leg would draw the ball?
Great drills! But I couldn't help but notice that you sort of early extended on that last shot😁
What do you think about Collin Morikawa’s swing? His leg and knee kicks forward towards the ball while still staying in posture.

the club head does not need to be flat on the ground at address but it is important at impact
@@JKMGolf but if you do not have a club head flat at address, wouldn't it come down not flat at impact too? if you flatten it during impact, wouldn't that mean you are messing around with your wrist angle just before impact?
Thanks for the great video. What do I do if I am dipping on the backswing? This makes it harder for me to go lower on the downswing
I worry that by driving my butt, back into the imaginary wall..( set up showing the noodle at 6:05 ) I will begin to hit fat shots, or too much of the ground with my irons.....thanks
not only does my trail heel lift but my whole body jumps upwards a little
When should the ideal release happen ?
I have been trying for months to get rid of early extension and still can't do it. Everytime i video myself i still have it
At some point you actually do want to extend, what point in the swing you think that is. And at what point is it still early extension
👍
