Good. It's not a gimmick, either. Do the same experiment on any professional golfer. It's like their butt stays against an invisible wall. When I focus on this I feel like I move my trail hip straight back on the backswing (inside the stable right leg) until I'm on my rear heel. When I start the downswing, I feel like the center of my hips move EVEN MORE away from the ball as my lead hip moves back. That's not …

Early extension is basically the pelvic thrust toward the ball (you're extending your hips too early). So the center of the pelvis moves toward the ball in the golf swing. This pelvic thrust is actually a power move (and a shallowing move), but you basically want to do it after the pelvis is rotated (and before impact). When you do it after the pelvis has rotated, the center of the pelvis doesn't get closer to the …
