THE FOLLOW THROUGH
Again similar to the back swing and the down swing movement, consider the follow through movement as a separate action that begins at the precise moment the club head strikes the ball.
All parts of the golf swing require your full
concentration, but if you want to hit the ball in the direction
you are aiming, the follow through must be performed
correctly.
Up to this impact position the pivoting / turning of the hips has completely controlled the rotational movement of the upper body unit, but importantly this hip action must continue to dominate throughout the follow through movement.
Follow Through Movement.
Therefore until the precise
moment the club head strikes the ball the hands have been held back from moving past the original address position.
However at this point the right shoulder is much lower than the left shoulder, the left leg is almost fully straightened and the hips are partially facing the target area.
As the ball is struck, the hip movement must continue to force the whole body to turn to fully face the target area at the same speed the club head is moving towards the target area whilst balanced on a continually straightening left leg, thus swinging the club head through the contact area and forcing the arms to follow the flight of the ball.
I cannot stress too strongly that the hip action must continue to force the upper body unit to rotate whilst the hips turn to fully face the target area until the end of the golf swing
Failure to do so will result in hooking the ball .
From this point onwards, the whole body rotates as a very solid one piece unit to fully face the target area whilst balanced on the straight left leg.
