I got around to making a video on this concept. It has worked for so many people already. I am amazed at how little information there is on the proper way to finish. It seems most instructors believe if you swing properly, the finish will just happen. But what if you turn that on it's head? If you finish properly, don't you swing properly? Here's just another example of how the finish determines how you swing.

Another good video Steve.... too many of us beginner/amateurs think that the shot is over once you've made contact, and yet if you watch the big boys (both in golf and baseball) they all complete the swing. I've seen a slo-mo video of a ball player making contact with the ball, and how the ball sort wraps itself around the bat and doesn't actually leave the bat till well into the forward part of the swing or in your case the follow through.

What this really does is fix the release to make it much more of a driving blow through impact instead of a glancing blow.

ringer pro, just a question for you ...whats the most important part of the swing? IMPACT!!!!...Does the followthrough hit the ball ? Does the backswing? Wait no thats impact. Backswing and Followthrough are just byproducts..Not really that significant ...If they were significant then jim furyk would be F'D and alot of golfers..Theres even more that i could name also...Only reason you see ppl holding there finishes is because they knew they were gonna hit a good shot and wanted to look good. Usually when you hit a bad shot your trying to save it ...When i say bad shot i mean the split seconds your mind knows before you actually hit the ball on the backswing..By then your trying to save the shot instead of thinking about o i'll make a pretty followthrough.

What i'm saying is a pretty followthrough won't make up for a bad backswing or a bad impact. And also if you look at all the golfers followthroughs there so different finish high Finish Low finish in front like you are teaching Finish to the side like alot of ppl do.

Your Concept: IF you finish properly you swing properly

My concept: IF you hit the ball properly you finish properly. (That means your own natural way) (idk i just don't see alot of ppl finish good when they hit a bad shot or is that cuz they didn't swing properly) So they need to learn to swing properly and make impact properly before they learn to finish properly. Finishing properly doesn't make them hit the ball properly. If i hit a bad shot but my finish is good that won't turn my swing into a good one because its already happened. and trust me ppl will over do this and learn to finish the same way everytime but it won't help them hit it good

this arguement is the same as did the chicken or the egg come first?

Impact happens for .0005 seconds.

How do you plan on controlling that?

I tried this advice and unfortunately i found myself concentrating on more corrections. However the good news is i have fixed my slice.

MY advice to anyone with a slice is make sure you transfer your weight to the left before ball inpact. The problem i was having is leaning back on impact thus, loosing the follow-through and only really getting half a shot. BY transfering all your weight to the left you are liturally squashing out the slice and hitting through the ball!

All I can say is.. "Wow".

i'm just saying did you make a good follow through b/c you hit a good shot or did your good follow through make you hit the good shot ? see what i'm saying? I just don't ever see anyone hold a good follow through when they hit a bad shot...But what if they held a good follow through would that turn there bad shot good? I doubt it


so you disagree with me on the impact thing? about it being the most important? Go ask any good golfer. Ask butch harmon, any pro they'll tell you the same thing IMPACT is the most important part...You can have the crappiest backswing and followthrough but if you somehow get the club square at impact it makes it ok...I mean look at jim furyks swing...Funny how that .0005 % of your swing is the most important part...
maybe your backswing and downswing will play a part in impact but followthrough and finish the ball is already long gone. I do however think the thoughts of a different followthrough will make you swing differently ...I mean look at tigers practice swings for a fade you'll see him hold his wrist and finish abbrievated etc. But it will not make you hit a good shot. So that thought of finishing will make you swing differently and impact the ball differently and may fix a slice but impact is still why your slice is fixed not your followthrough. B/c in the end an open face will slice the ball not a different followthrough

All i can say is.. "Wow"

so when ppl start powering through the ball...can you teach us how to follow through so we don't hook it ?

This follow-through advice may work, but kind of strikes me like ensuring you drive your car to the right place by watching the rear-view mirror.

There are simpler, more direct ways to cure a slice (or a hook), and they begin by understanding the only two things (either one or both) that can cause a ball to have slice spin: 1) outside-in swing path through impact, or 2) open club face at impact.

There are simple techniques to develop the swing mechanics to be on path through impact, and if you employ those, you don't need to think about your follow through one bit. Open club face is different matter and has several possible causes or contributing causes, some of which, though not complicated, are usually overlooked or not understood by by golfers - even golf teachers!

To run through the list is beyond the scope of this forum, and to shoot in the dark with a tip without seeing you or running you through a diagnostic process is irresponsible. It's not complicated, just requires that one know the whole story. More info below...
