Match Backswing and Follow Through

For better balance and better ball striking, match your back-swing with your follow through.

Example: Pro golfer, Paul Casey, positions his hands and club parallel to the ground at waist height in position 2 in his back-swing. Notice on the follow through, Paul Casey's hands and club are also parallel to the ground in position 5.

Obviously you aren't supposed to completely mirror the back-swing with the follow through. But look at Paul Casey's shoulder turn in position 3 in comparison to position 6. The club and hands aren't similar, but his back is clearly visible do to shoulder and hip turn.

The small things the average golfer can focus on such as, replicating the back-swing with the follow through, will definitely improve the game, and they will see huge drops in the score.

Try this the next time your at the driving range, or just grab a club and examine your swing in the mirror for a quick minute. GOOD LUCK!
