You ever noticed how all the tour players and really good players have that follow through where they’ve just got that club under control they bring it back down they’ve got this look to them here and they hold that follow through and pose a little bit now do you think they do that just
Because it looks cool or do you think there’s benefits to a finish like that well in this video I’m going to tell you what the benefits are and I’m going to tell you what a real good finish to a golf swing needs to look like now before
I jump into the benefits of a great finish and why we need to work hard to to achieve one do me a favor hit that subscribe button down there give this video a thumbs up all those things help me out a tremendous amount with my channel so why do all of the good
Players hold that follow through why are they all posing one big reason is it shows that they have control over their golf club and they have control over their swing if you can get to the finish and you can hold your finish and you can hold that Golf Club up there where it’s
Supposed to be then you’re in control of that Golf Club what we see out of bad player is their Club is just moving out of control in the swing and there’s there’s no follow through I love that one right there the old sling back I call it they just one-handed sling back
They’ve got that golf club just going everywhere we don’t need that golf club going everywhere we need to control this golf club so if we’re going to be in control of this Golf Club at impact we need to have control of this Golf Club at the Finish okay now
Two other great benefits to having a really good finish and being able to hold it is the two non- mechanical things in the golf swing Rhythm and balance if I can get to the finish of the swing and I can hold my balance on the Finish Well then I had balance when
I was coming through impact if I hit golf shots and I’m falling over in my swing I’m falling forward in my swing are goodness gracious if I’m falling backwards in my swing which is absolutely terrible well I didn’t have any balance well there is no chance that I had
Balance in the swing at impact so it’s very important that we hold that finish find our balance and and just continue to hold it okay rhythm of the Swing is also huge we have to have great Rhythm well if I have a golf swing that’s out of rhythm then
My golf club is never going to be under control it’s going to be slinging around and I won’t be able to hold that finish so by us having a great finish to the swing we’re ensuring balance we’re uring that we had good Rhythm and we’re ensuring that we have great control over
This go Golf Club well if I have those three things I have a much better chance of hitting a solid golf shot if I don’t have those three things I’ve got no chance of hitting a solid golf shot so let’s talk about what the follow-through should look like and what you should be
Striving for so one thing we need to strive for in the follow-through is we need to make sure that we stay in our posture as I rotate forward I want to make sure that I’m not coming out of my posture okay that I’m not changing my spine angle that I am
Finishing my golf swing in my posture now I’ll turn around this way and face you if I do that and I stay in my posture in the swing notice my right shoulder is going to be lower than my left shoulder so if I finish a swing and my
Right shoulder is up I didn’t stay in my posture so one key thing we got to stay in that posture while we make our finish that ensures that this golf club has the best chance of bottoming out in the swing in the proper place so since we
Just talked about the right shoulder and the right shoulder being lower than the left shoulder at the follow through one other thing that we need to we want to look for in a good follow through is that that right shoulder is closer to the Target than our left shoulder that I
Have gotten my right shoulder for us right-handed players moving out over my left foot and if you’re flexible enough to really really turn that thing so that your chest is facing left of your target okay that ensures that I’ve got a full pivot going forward okay now let’s talk
About the feet in the follow through and the knees if my right shoulder is going forward my weight is then moving into my left foot and I want my weight moving into the outside part of my left heel I don’t want my weight moving out into my
Toes I want my weight moving back into my left heel notice how that’s got my left leg straightening my right leg the back foot is going to roll in the knee is going to come forward and my back foot is going to roll all the way up onto its toe and
My knees are going to go basically together so I want to stay in my posture I want to rotate forward right shoulder goes closer to the Target than my left weight goes into the outside of my left heels my right knee moves over to touch
My left knee and I finish balanced on my right toe so what do we want to do with this Golf Club in the Finish Well I want my body rotating stay in my posture right shoulder comes closer to the Target that’s where you are my back foot rolls up onto its toe
And I want this golf club going right around my head and getting right between my ears it would almost look like that shaft of the club is going right through my ears so this golf club is going to finish a round behind me with my golf
Club right between my ears and I want to feel my elbows stay as close together as I can keep them so a proper follow through or a proper finish is something that a lot of golfers really need to practice okay if you find yourself having trouble getting to that follow-through and my goodness
We see some of the craziest things in the world where I teach right here I can see the first tea and if I’m standing here looking at my student I’m always looking down this driving range and you just see the craziest stuff that people do but if you had a whole bunch of
Really good players or tour players down here their finishes would all look pretty much the same so practice it just get yourself a golf club and make nice little easy swings and find the proper follow through make sure your weight is moving in your feet in the proper direction
Make sure that you are holding that finish and holding your balance put that Golf Club up around behind your ears then if you’ll notice those tour players they continue to hold their body but they’ll let that club come out in front of them and they’ll give you this move
Right here now the really cool ones they bring it here a lot of them will give you a little twirl me I’ve never been a twirler of the golf club so practice the follow through once you feel like you gotten it down without a golf ball then
Get in here and hit some golf balls and go slow and make the finish of the Swing the goal of the Swing make sure that you are finding that proper follow through okay so here we go nice and slow okay lost my balance on that swing
I was fighting for it but I lost my balance that’s actually my first swing of the day at a golf ball okay so let’s try it again so my goal my focus is finding my balance on the finish and holding my proper follow through okay better balance on that one
Not a very good shot but I held my follow through so one last question would be this how long do I want to hold that follow through well A good rule of thumb is hold the follow through until the ball hits the ground especially out here on the driving
Range make almost extend it to the point of where you look a little silly holding it so long but great rule of thumb hold that follow through until this ball hits the ground so let’s see if I can get one done stay in my posture Club goes around behind my
Ears right knee comes and touches my left knee there we go held it all the way till that ball hit the ground well folks if you’ll work on that follow through if you’ll work on finding that really good finish picture in your head what the tour players look like and mimic
It I promise you that your ball striking will get better that your misses won’t be as as drastic as they are and that you’ll play a little bit better golf well I want to thank you very much for coming in and watching this video and again if you’ve never been to my channel

This is SOOOOOOOO good!! Thank you for taking the time to put this video together.
Really enjoying your content! Thanks!
Excellent explanation and demonstration Michael on how to "finish like a pro" in ball striking! Your suggestion of Rhythm and Balance goes along the same lines as Tempo and Timing! When I am out of sorts on one or the other, I know I'm in trouble for the day!!! Your practice suggestions are "right on!" Well Done Michael! Always enjoy your contributions!
Thanks a lot from Indonesia
