Working on Early Extension & more Wipe

Trying this out for the first time...

I have been working to fix early extension with transition movements:

- more trail shoulder blade activation
- more elbow wipe
- and more turn through the rib cage

The issue is I'm now losing the ball right - waaaay right (for the first time in a year).

I'm not wiping as much as I should, due to fear of losing it more right.

With driver, if I add more motorcycle, the ball flight is < 60 ft at its apex.

Hi Ed,

Let's look at the pattern systematically. First, we want to decide, is the ball going right because of the face, path, or both. If we look at different locations in the swing (p1, p2, p4, p6) we can get a reasonable timeline for when the face or path is causing a problem.

If we look at your timeline the only place the face looks open is that foot before impact. So between p6 and p8 your pattern is opening the face (and likely having a straight path). This appears to be caused by pulling more with the lead shoulder (retraction) and lead wrist radial deviation. If you look at the video and scrub from a foot before to a foot after, you'll see the face staying open there and a path that looks like it quickly moves left near impact. That combo probably causes the push fade, or low bullet if you get it squared at impact.
