Early Extension & Accumulators
 

I've been working on stopping early extension, however, it feels like I only use the #4 accumulator with such a swing since my right arm is bent and now effectively on my hip and not straightening that much. If I swing normally and extend early I feel like I can use all four accumulators to generate power. I suspect I lose about 10-15% in clubhead speed when I stop early extension. Have others run into this issue? I understand the benefits of stopping early extension, however, I feel like I'm giving up a lot of power.

Straightening the right arm early throws away Acc #2 - Left Wrist Cock. :nono:

Early extension is usually a substitute for (lack of) rotation.

You can probably improve takeaway and back swing towards more, deeper and better rotation of hips, shoulders, hands and club head. But there could also be issues with your posture and setup angles that prevent you from turning through impact.

There is a bunch of Early Extension threads at golfwrx these days. By watching the videos it looks like most of them destroy the sync between hands and pivot already during takeaway. Hands move out and up early on, then excessively to the inside before they are lifted later. The form is totally ruined.

Pivot controlled hands of the worst kind. And also a case of club head inertia throwing the hands off their ideal path.
