Lesson

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.
