Adjust Your Follow-Through for Better Hand Path Control
After this video, you'll be able to:
- Identify how early extension affects your hand path during the follow-through
- Develop a consistent feeling of hands moving around the body and low left
- Practice visualizing the ideal hand path to prevent blocks and hooks
Learn how to keep your hands moving left in the follow-through to avoid early extension and improve your shot accuracy. This drill uses a pool noodle to help visualize and practice the correct hand path.

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.740
This swim noodle is looking at left hands and the follow-through so a common
2
00:00:05.740 --> 00:00:10.520
problem for good players is having a little bit of the early extension to
3
00:00:10.520 --> 00:00:13.960
help shout out the club and getting the club to kind of swing too much out to
4
00:00:13.960 --> 00:00:19.080
the right. If you're a slicer this is not for you. This drill system or this
5
00:00:19.080 --> 00:00:23.760
drill setup is looking at the path of the hands. Now we know that from other
6
00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:28.840
ones we want the path of the club going slightly out to the right kind of
7
00:00:28.840 --> 00:00:33.240
extending like this but if you're used to getting into more too much side bend
8
00:00:33.240 --> 00:00:33.460
or
9
00:00:33.460 --> 00:00:37.840
early extension your hands will typically go straight out towards the target as
10
00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:43.080
they rotate more like this. What we can do with this one is kind of simulate
11
00:00:43.080 --> 00:00:43.240
that
12
00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:50.120
hit my arms feeling and now I'm going to place this at about hip height okay if
13
00:00:50.120 --> 00:00:50.320
I
14
00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:54.460
if I go into more of an early extension pattern you can see that the height of
15
00:00:54.460 --> 00:00:59.620
my hands gets pretty high pretty quickly. If I get that at hip height then in
16
00:00:59.620 --> 00:01:07.700
order to kind of have my hands match that going left kind of like that it's
17
00:01:07.700 --> 00:01:07.800
going
18
00:01:07.800 --> 00:01:13.100
to be closer to the height of my hips. Once I have a good visual I can try to
19
00:01:13.100 --> 00:01:17.380
recreate that in my mind so that's coming somewhere over here you know it
20
00:01:17.380 --> 00:01:21.620
I'm used to swinging way up here now I have a little bit more spatial awareness
21
00:01:21.620 --> 00:01:26.380
for what I'm trying to do through the release to get out of that hook block
22
00:01:26.380 --> 00:01:31.220
pattern. Now that I have an image in my mind I can take some reps trying to
23
00:01:31.220 --> 00:01:36.220
recreate that image while I'm standing over the golf ball of where I want my
24
00:01:36.220 --> 00:01:39.100
hands to swing.
25
00:01:39.100 --> 00:01:45.780
Looks something
26
00:01:48.660 --> 00:01:56.220
like that. So that's getting the hands going a little bit more around my body
27
00:01:56.220 --> 00:02:11.060
and low left. We can compare that to more of the early extension pattern where
28
00:02:11.060 --> 00:02:11.300
I
29
00:02:11.300 --> 00:02:15.620
would get my hands swinging very high on the way through. So if you struggle
30
00:02:15.620 --> 00:02:15.780
with
31
00:02:15.780 --> 00:02:20.460
your hand path getting high on the way through or going too much to the right
32
00:02:20.460 --> 00:02:23.740
and you struggle with big blocks and hooks you can create a little visual
33
00:02:23.740 --> 00:02:30.860
alignment using the pool noodles to help get the hands working a little bit
34
00:02:30.860 --> 00:02:36.220
more around your body from better posture control your body continuing to
35
00:02:36.220 --> 00:02:41.020
rotate on the way through and good arm and release mechanics.
