If you are standing up and loosing your posture during your golf down swing, then you have what’s known as early extension. Moving in this way rather than rotating around your spine angle will make it difficult to control the club face as you strike the golf ball and also mean that you are not at full power when hitting your shots. Try this simple drill to give you the feeling that you need to have whilst making a better down swing, for maximum shot distance and accuracy.

If you reverse pivot, or lean your upper body towards the target, on your back swing, this will cause you several problems during your down swing. You will be very dependant on your timing to strike the ball well and you will find it hard to be accurate and consistent with your golf shots. Here we look at the cause of a reverse pivot and how you can go about correcting it and improving your swing.
