So to continue from the point where we left off in Lesson 4:-

You must remember that the hips must continue to force the shoulders to rotate around the central core of the spine and the heel of the right foot must remain firmly on the ground until the precise moment the club head strikes the ball.

Follow Through animation.

At the impact position it is absolutely vital that the head remains firmly positioned so that the left eye remains slightly behind the ball and the eyes are fully focused on the back edge of the golf ball at the precise moment the club head makes contact with the ball

The shoulders are parallel to the target line and the triangular shape of the upper body is maintained.

The right elbow is close to the body and the left hip is higher than the right hip.

The hands are back in the original address position and the hips are almost fully facing the target area.

The right knee has just started to kick towards the target area, thus forcing the heel of the right foot to lift off the ground

(If the picture does not have an active element, click the mouse whilst it is over the picture and refresh the page.)

Therefore the club head must strike the ball at the precise moment the shoulders are parallel to the target line.

At that precise point, whilst the head remains firmly held in the original address position, the whole body quickly turns to fully face the target area -- at the same speed that the club head swings through the contact area.
However whilst the whole body unit quickly turns to fully face the target area, arms are forced to interact.

(As long as the hips continue to force the compact upper body unit to rotate around the central core of the spine, the whole body will automatically turn to fully face the target area at the same speed that the club head swings through the contact area.)

In order for the follow through movement to be successful, the left eye must remain slightly behind the original ball position and the head must remain in the fixed frontal position until well after the ball has been struck.

(You must continue to keep the elbows held as close together as is physically possible thus maintaining the triangular shape of the upper body unit.)

Therefore just to recap, whilst these actions occur, the head must continue to be held so that the left eye remains slightly behind the ball, the head must remain in the Fixed Frontal condition and the upper body angles must be maintained so that the right shoulder rotates under the chin as the interaction of the arms is performed.

I cannot over emphasis that the elbows must be held close at all times and the arms held in the fully straightened position as the shoulders rotate past the original address position.

Let us now go on to the Complete swing.
