LET IT FLY
I always tell my students that a
committed finish position not
only works, but it looks cool,
too. Seriously, the downswing to
the finish could be an instinctive
reaction. Take the organized
structure you have created at
the top of your swing, release
it, and finish with a stable pose.
A stable finish should create a
pose that could go on the cover
of Virginia Golfer. Hold your
finish for a few seconds, get a
sense of where your weight is,
and feel how balanced you are
on your lead foot.

MIRROR WORK AND MEDICINE BALL THROWS
Get a sense of the correct mobile and stable positions we discussed above by
spending some time in front of the mirror. Watching and feeling are the keys to
success. While watching your movements in the mirror take a moment in each
position to get a sense of how it feels. Take your time, put in the hours in front of
the mirror, and watch your shots change.
Try tossing a medicine ball to a friend or against a sturdy brick wall. With this
exercise, you will start to see and feel your mobility and stability working together.
Take that feeling and awareness, apply it to your golf swing, and see the results.
