Early extension bag drill
Created by Ned Lloyd
The task
Place your golf bag (or other object) in line with the ball. Take your normal setup with a mid-iron, placing your left butt cheek against the bag. Take slow practice swings. Allow yourself to lose contact in the backswing. In your downswing, try to push the bag backward as hard as you can with your hip and butt cheek. Exaggerate this move as much as you can.
