The Follow Through. (Changed - 08/01/2012)

The position your body should be in at the precise moment the club head strikes the ball is that your hips should be practically facing the target area, your right shoulder is beginning to rotate under your chin, your hands have gone past your body and your left eye is well behind the ball.
The swing path of the arms feels as if they are swinging from "outside the line" to a definite "inside the line" as the arms go past the body.

(i,e arms cutting across in front of the body whilst the head remains firmly in its original address position.)

(The most common fault for most amateur golfers it to either allow the compact upper body unit to disintegrate, or allow the left arm to bend or/and allow the left shoulder to lift at the precise moment the club head strikes the ball.)

The ultimate aim of the down swing movement is to ensure that the club head strikes the ball at the precise moment the hands return to the original address position and once this position is achieved, the whole body turns to fully face the target area.

Follow Through.

Therefore as the club head strikes the ball, it is vital that the hands continue to move towards the target area at the same speed that the club head is swinging through the contact area.

In addition the whole twisted unit must continue to rotate around the central core of the spine whilst held together as a fully bonded unit as the golf swing moves into the follow through movement .

As long as the upper body angles have been maintained, as the follow through movement is performed, the right shoulder will rotate right under the chin.

As you become familiar with the basic movement, the Key Movement can be performed from the precise moment the club head strike the ball.

What I am aiming for as the follow through movement is performed is to eventually achieve the right arm and the golf club as a straight line for a brief period.

(At this point the top class golfers physically force the right arm into the fully straightened position but for now simply perform the follow through as described.)

 


The head must remains firmly held in the original address position and in the Fixed Frontal position as the arms swing past the body.

It is very important to understand that in order for the follow through movement to be successful, the left eye must remain well behind the original ball position and the head must remain in the fixed frontal position until both arms are fully extended.
