RORY MCILROY - IRON SWING DTL - SLOW MOTION

u/TickBomb 2023 · r/GolfSwing · in “Trying to fix early extension now im hitting it fat. Can get away with sometimes, any pointers?”

Your backswing is all messed up. You don't really turn fully. The reason is that you are rolling the club backwards with your forearms to get the club behind you instead of turning your body fully to get the club there. Look at what I am doing here, just moving my body with zero arm motion until I get to the back, and then raising the arms and cocking the wrists: [imgur.com] Doing it this way forces you to load the …

Overall, very nice action(s). It looks to me like you're late opening up your hips, and a bit late with your weight shift. Also looks like there's too much weight towards your back leg.

You look kind of flat footed, like all your weight is on your heels and you're curving your spine instead of bending at the hips. when you're setting up straighten the spine and feel like the weight is more in your toes... not to the point of being unbalanced obviously, but just so that your weight is in a more athletic position. which will help with what i think is the main issue... Difficult to tell from just one …
