In this video we break down a simple but effective golf drill designed to help golfers eliminate early extension and improve ball striking. If you struggle with your hips or knees thrusting toward the ball in the downswing, losing posture, or feeling “jammed up” at impact, this drill provides instant, low-tech feedback you can use as a regular check-in during practice. Filmed at Plainfield Country Club, I’m joined by Director of Instruction Ryan Hager, who walks us through his popular “shin breaker” drill using a range basket to create a clear pass-or-fail feel. The goal isn’t to stop lower body movement, but to redirect it—shifting pressure toward the target instead of driving the pelvis forward too early. Ryan explains what early extension really is, why some extension is normal, and how excessive movement leads to poor contact. We also cover proper setup, common mistakes, how slow rehearsals matter, and why exaggeration can help retrain better movement patterns. Whether you’re practicing indoors during the winter or looking for a quick swing fix on the range, this drill is an easy way to build better lower body mechanics and more consistent impact.
