Down swing loss of posture or EARLY EXTENSION FIX
Loss of spine angle, or posture, or early extension all mean the same thing for golfers – standing up too much during your down swing. This results in a lack of body rotation through impact, meaning you aren’t hitting the ball as far as you could, difficulty in controlling the club face, meaning you aren’t as accurate as you could be and inconsistent strikes from the club face, meaning a variation in shot trajectory. This video looks at the cause of standing up through impact, the correct position to work on achieving and a range drill to help you improve your movement and positions.

If you want to hit the golf ball further, more accurately and more solidly then you want to work on your down swing being less steep, so that you can rotate your body more through impact. A steep down swing results in you using your arms far too much as you strike the golf ball, which reduces your power and club face control. Try this easy to set up drill to get your arms closer to your body on your down swing when you are next at the range, so that you shallow your down swing and make a better body turn and swing, through impact.
