I took a down the line video of myself where my butt moves towards the ball a few inches during the downswing. is this common? is this the cause for my pushes? any drills to work on this problem? i see how tiger squats down during his downswing and i wondered how i could add this to my swing.

Same thing, just different feel, different visual. Second one works best for me. If the right knee stays straighter and the hips slide forward, then the butt won't come off the "wall". Just having the chair there, doesn't guarantee the forward part, for me.

I suffer from this. Sometimes I have to really force my left hip to go back and up. So the extension is there, I am just not getting the weight forward and allowing that left hip to go back as much as it should.

Mike, I would like to learn more about why some early extension is a good thing. Will that change the angle of inclination, but increase the speed (what is good on some early inclination)?

I tried this technique a while back after reading it from a golf magazine and sent my scores sky high, like balooning from mid 80s to over 100s. I think it all depends on individual but if you're a high handicaper like me, at 15-16, I don't think its a good idea, at least from my perspective.
