Early-Extension Fix — Pocket Back

What it fixes: Keep posture so the hips rotate instead of thrusting at the ball.

How to do it

1. Stand an alignment stick in the ground just behind your trail hip at address
2. Make swings keeping that trail back pocket moving BACK and UP as you turn through — never toward the stick
3. Feel space stay in front of your hips through impact
4. Rehearse slowly, then add speed holding the same feel

Pro tip: Feel: your trail glute pushes back into a wall as you rotate — the belt buckle turns, it doesn't lunge at the ball.

Watch it in your data

This drill moves Contact / dispersion — track it session to session with the Dispersion guide open. A drill without a measured before/after is a feeling, not a fix: hit a baseline block, do the drill, re-measure the same block.
