Follow through

I was at the range this afternoon and I was swinging pretty good. I was getting more of those shots that you hit and it just feels really good coming off of the club, with a nice easy swing, high trajectory boring flight etc. etc. Im starting to become more aware of things within my swing and today I noticed that on the follow through my weight is on my the heel of my left foot on the follow through and that my left foot rotates a bit towards the target. What part of my foot should support my weight and if the heel is incorrerct how do I correct it? Should my foot not turn towards the target a bit?

Re: Follow through

Your weight should be fairly evenly distributed on your front foot at the top of your followthrough. This ensures that the left side of your body (for righties) is straight (shoulder over hip, over knee and over foot). As for your foot turning, are you turning your foot or or is it twisting on the ground?

Im not really sure about the difference between turning and twisting, but i would guess twisting. Also why is my weight on the heel and how do i correct it?

Re: Follow through

Hi Andy, I'm a beginner myself so I am just guessing. If your left foot is moving that much, it could be that you are not transferring your weight to the left foot after impact and at the follow through. Do you hands go forward after impact, or do they just fold around the body? You can try extending your hands in front of you after impact, and that should help transfer your weight more to your left foot. One drill I've seen is to actually literally throw your clubs to your front, so you learn the feeling of how your hands and weight should go forward.

I've seen some golfers' habit, where after impact, they are actually spreading their legs and you can see that they actually take a step back with their right foot. That's because they are not transferring their weight sufficiently from back to front.

Re: Follow through

This sounds like an incorrect weight transfer. Your foot will twist if your weight is on your heel and your hip is turning against that foot. Try GregJWillis' walking drill http://members.cox.net/gregjwillis/LESSON2.htm
