Finish with your hands high!
When you watch a good golfer you will notice that vast
majority of them finish with their hands high. This denotes that
the path of the club through the hitting area is correct. If you
are not finishing high here are a few tips that will help you
improve this. At the start of the downswing drop your right elbow
into your side ( left hinders left elbow) and try to imitate this with your hips clearing the way for
your arms. Another thing to keep in mind is that you swing from a
straight left arm on your back swing to a straight right arm on your
follow through. This takes practice and effort on your part.
You
will be happy with the results.
Premature releasing, or unlocking, of the
wrist in the downswing dissipates club head speed and therefore
reduces distance. Maximum
speed and distance can be achieved only by a delay of the wrist
uncocking until just before impact.
Wrist cock attained during the back swing or at the beginning
of the downswing can be retained until late in the downswing of the
golfer by keeping his right hand grip pressure very light.
By literally forgetting about that hand during the swing,
both in the back swing and the down swing, the golfer will find the
swing’s centrifugal force will cause the wrist to uncock
automatically at the proper moment.
