So I suffer from early extension (standing up on my downswing and losing spine angle). I've been trying to fix it for months without much luck, so in the past few days I've been watching practically every YouTube video I can find on how to fix it. It's funny, they basically come in 2 categories.
Something like this, where he basically gives you a drill to do 100 times a day for 30 days, and then adds on to it, another 100 times a day for 30 days.
And then you get someone like Shawn Clement, who basically says don't worry about doing drills or trying to feel like your backside is staying behind you, but imagine you're clipping the grass in front of the ball and then cutting down into it, and your body will take care of the rest naturally (though he does have a 'drill' of hitting two balls/pennies)
Which theory do you guys prescribe to? I would love to imagine that I can fix it by just imagining myself taking divots and my body responding, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to go the route of repeated drills to get the sequencing right.
