The head rotates in a tour-pro follow-through
Well, maybe, but that isn’t why most shots are topped. In fact, a lot of times it’s the opposite problem.
If you want to learn a skill that will keep you from topping it—and get you closer to hitting the same kinds of consistently good shots the professionals do—develop a tour-pro follow-through that involves a rotation of the head. Here’s how.
Pose like you see here legs straightened, shoulders and hips facing the target, head rotated in that direction, too, and the grip extended as far away from the body as possible—that’s key.
You’ll notice this is a significantly different look to the follow-through you see from many amateurs—especially if you’re trying to keep your head down through impact. When you’re scrunched up like that, you don’t have room to extend your arms, and that lack of extension puts you in poor position to make solid contact.
Once you’ve burned the feel of it into your memory, hit some soft, slow shots while getting into that same position after impact. The closer you come to copying it, the easier it will be for your swing to bottom out in a predictable place every time.
Then you’ll no longer worry about having to make an excuse for your bad shot before the ball stops rolling.
