Have you ever noticed that the ball has an uncanny knack of flying
in the general direction in which your body is facing at the end of
your swing? That’s why professionals all like to rotate through
impact to finish with their body facing the target.
If you fall back off the shot and finish with your stomach pointing
out to the right, that’s where the ball is most likely headed
(above).
If you are one of those players who steers it a bit, and finish in a
rather flat position, chest pointing left, you probably spend a lot
of time in the left-hand rough.
You can correct both of these problems if you focus on turning through
so that you wind up straight on the target. As if by magic that will
go a long way to getting you on track. |
