Enhance Your Golf Game by Perfecting Your Finish
Summary
Understanding your finish can offer valuable insights into your swing technique. In my golf lessons, I focus on a player’s finish to identify areas for improvement. By knowing what to observe, you can self-diagnose and refine your game. Here, I discuss four common finishes, their causes, and tips to address the underlying swing faults.Common Finishes and Their Solutions
High Finish
A high finish is characterized by hands held high and a flying left elbow (for right-handers). This position often results in pushes, thin shots, and hits towards the heel of the clubface. The extreme in-to-out swing path causes the club to deviate right of the target, reducing control.While an in-to-out swing is generally favorable, exaggeration leads to issues. An overly inside-out move can cause pushes, while a closed clubface leads to pulls. Focus on moderating the swing path to ensure the club strikes the ball on a descending trajectory.
Low Finish
A low finish results from an out-to-in swing path, typically initiated by the arms rather than the body. This position often leads to pull slices, pull hooks, and toe hits, all of which deviate from the intended target.In this finish, the arms look constrained due to early movement ahead of the body. To correct this, work on synchronizing your body and arm movements, ensuring they move in harmony during the downswing.
Lunge Finish
This finish occurs when the player’s head is in front of the left leg, or there’s a sensation of falling forward. It’s due to poor lower body rotation, where the upper body races ahead of the ball.To fix this, focus on hip rotation. Lead your downswing with your hips, maintaining contact with a chair placed alongside you. Practice swings ensuring your head finishes over your left leg.
Reverse C Finish
Once considered ideal, the Reverse C Finish is now less favored. It involves an excessive lateral slide to the left (for right-handers), with weight remaining on the back foot, often due to a reverse pivot.To address this, increase hip rotation and reduce sliding. If facing a reverse pivot, try lifting your front foot during your backswing and replanting it on the downswing. For better hip rotation, practice swings with a shaft on your right side, ensuring your hips rotate without sliding.
Conclusion
Each finish?"whether high, low, lunge, or Reverse C?"can indicate specific swing faults. By identifying and correcting these, you can significantly enhance your golf game.
