If you early extend it is not guaranteed that your hips are weak, have poor mobility, balance, or hinge ability. This guy moves great but doesn’t use his second gas pedal - the lead leg.

Every golfer over 35 should be working to improve their thoracic rotation mobility - this is one movement that can take stress off the low back and neck (where I see most pain in my 35+ year olds).

Your early extension could be a number of things but it’s likely you don’t push off your lead leg early enough (a/p force)..

This drill is with a 25lb band.. learn to push back with that lead leg and you’re on your way to a repeatable golf swing.

I love birdies

Maybe they will feel good for you too.

Lengthening things in flexion + external and extension + internal

Too many rotation drills go unloaded

This will help you own your torso rotation. You’ll see a longer backswing and maybe more club speed.

👍

It’s rare that I hop on a foam roller. This use is much more practical - offset lie, ball above the feet.

A couple favorites from the Rotex Motion line up

Activate your hips and shoulder with these two before your next range session
