How Proper Follow Through Can Improve Your Golf Swing

"Hello I am Arthur DeBolt on behalf of Expert Village. What we are going to talk about at the moment is follow through. After you hit the ball, you follow through; whatever happens after you hit the ball does not really matter much. But it will tell you how your follow through, it will tell you how the high the ball will fly or which way the ball will curve, whether it will curve right to left, left to right. And the reason for that is, when you approach the ball, you must approach the ball in a such a way that it causes that particular ball fly. How you attack the ball is what your follow through will tell you after you have done it. So, every time that you step to the ball, and you get lined up, and you are going to swing, and you are going to hit the ball, you swing and hit the ball, and your perfect balance, and you allow the club and your follow through to come through to a point… where just how you stand gives you the ability to know whether it curves to the right or the left, or flies high or low. You will know that the minute that you make contact. So, I am going to give you another demonstration, if you will hold on just a second here, I gotta get my tool over here. If you look at this tool, you will see that there is a white line down each side of the middle red line. Okay, I am going to explain it to you this way. When I at address of the ball and look down, I should be able to see both white lines. You can make this little gizmo for yourself out of cardboard. Anyway, I see a white line on each side of that. So, when I come through, and I do my swing, then I do the follow through, and I come up, and I am looking at the ball, I should be perfectly setup where I can look and see two white lines; that means I have a perfect follow through, perfect balance, timing and tempo. Use that little tool right there as a gauge. Make it yourself."
