I think your point that the cause can be many things is SO true. I fought this for two years off and on. I think I have finally figured it out for me, but it has been rough. Last night I was on the range for a practice session and my pre-dominant miss was on the toe, which ironically, almost made me happy. At least I could see that I have the EE under control.the hard part for me about early extension and going down the youtube rabbit hole is that as easy as the effect is to identify, the cause can be any number of things. ty posted a zoom lesson to his channel this week, working with a really good golfer. one of the feels he gave the guy was for the belt buckle to be pushed away from the ball at impact, and his chest to be a little more down. the goal here was space. the temptation is for me to try that and see if it works, but the cause of that guy's issue could be completely different than the cause of mine!
ty didn't really give me a cause for mine yet; in the feedback video i'll post, he just said to feel like i'm "falling into" the right hip at the top of the backswing. i've sent him a message to see if there's any more specific feel, but haven't heard back yet.
in a previous lesson where the ee reared its head, the feel he gave me was more backswing related. i got into address, and he poked a finger into my right hip flexor. there isn't much space because at address you've obviously bent over at the waist, so there's a bit of a "pinch" of his finger. he said during the backswing, imagine that finger is still there, and i keep pinching it through the backswing. you can't maintain that pinch if you're extending. it helped tremendously, like instant improvement. so i'll try to re-implement that and see if it helps again.
