Play Better Golf – with Niall McGill Get through it I see so many players both on the range and on the golf course fail to complete their follow throughs. They get stuck on the back foot at impact, resulting in both directional and ball striking issues. This problem, often arises from a lateral sway off the ball on the backswing which presents the players with problems getting back to the ball. Today I’ll show you a great drill that will help prevent your sway and encourage you to better rotate your body through impact to a complete finish. Firstly, address the ball and then lift your right heel a little off the ground whilst keeping your weight evenly distributed between your feet. As you swing to the top of your backswing you should keep your right heel raised and this positioning will prevent you from swaying to the right and will encourage a more central pivot on the backswing. You should now find it much easier to shift your weight forward and to clear your body into impact and through to a full and complete finish. This drill will help you generate power, make better contact with the ball and will ensure that your shots stay on the short grass. This is worth repeating each time you go to the range and is also a great warm up exercise before you play.
