Online Lesson: Joel Atkinson- How Posture Affects Early Extension

As you will see in the video Joel does a lot of excellent things in his swing. The camera is not quite clear enough to discuss his impact in detail, but it does seem like his hands get up to the ball and that he can sustain impact fairly well. The thing that jumps out at me is Joel’s posture. It’s not that no one who is really good sets up with their balance in the middle of their feet and the butt line well back from the heels, but in Joel’s case and just about anyone with early extension problems I always feel that a posture that is more out over the ball with more pelvic tilt and less knee flex is more conducive to changing the pattern where the legs always feel underneath and moving more toward the ball.
