Early extension is when your hips move toward the ball during the downswing, causing loss of posture and inconsistent contact. In this Allie Knight Quick Tip, I demonstrate a simple ball-against-the-wall drill to help you stay in posture and rotate properly through impact. This drill helps you: -Keep your hips back -Maintain posture throughout the swing -Improve contact and compression -Rotate instead of standing up By keeping the ball in place against the wall, you’ll train your body to rotate through the shot without moving closer to the ball. 🎯 Key Takeaway: Good contact comes from staying in posture — not standing up to hit the ball.
