The one thing you have to keep in mind is from the top of the backswing to the finish is a
non-stop fluid motion. When the golf club starts down there is no slowing down or stopping of the
club head. Many things take place during the downswing and they all have to be in sync with one
another to make for solid impact.
The Follow Through is a Result
Ninety-five percent of
the final part of the swing (moment of impact to finish) is a result of you swinging the golf club
from the address position to the top of the golf swing correctly. If you get the golf club in the
correct position at the top of the backswing, you will up your chances of hitting a solid golf
shot.
Let's take some time and discuss what takes place from the moment of impact to the finish. I will
break it down into two sections. First, what happens to the golf club and secondly, what happens to
the body.
Golf Club Position at Impact
At the very moment of
impact, the clubface should be one or two degrees closed (#64). The
clubface was square at address and as the golf club swings back to the top of the backswing, the
clubface rolled open. As the golf club swings back down, the clubface has to swing back to square.
It will begin to roll closed and continues to close until the toe is pointing up, when the shaft is
pointing parallel to the target line (#65). As the arms and hands
swing the club from the parallel position up to the finish, the club continues to close.
Let me share something with you right now. If I asked you what you think you have to
do to hit the golf ball further I am afraid your first response will be the same as most of the
golfing world. Swing harder. Yes, that is a start, however; the clubhead speed must be properly
applied.
The ability to have the clubhead make solid contact with the golf ball with maximum speed is the
combination of the golf club, arms, and hands moving in concert with the upper and lower body. This
combination is referred to in golf as "timing". Simply put, the most abused word in golf. Everybody
uses it and not too many people know how to do it.
