If you remember the merry-go-round drill from the impact section, this is

2
00:00:04.800 --> 00:00:09.000
adding going from impact to this new follow-through position.

3
00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:13.590
So you're going to go through the same steps that we went through for the merry

4
00:00:13.590 --> 00:00:16.680
-go-round, club across your shoulder, sticking out to whichever hand dominance

5
00:00:16.680 --> 00:00:17.000
you are,

6
00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:22.000
and then going so that the club looks like it's hitting the ball.

7
00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:27.810
Now from here, I want you to extend your arm straight away from your chest,

8
00:00:27.810 --> 00:00:34.000
just like so, with your left hand pointed somewhere behind you.

9
00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:38.760
So you're going to practice going to this merry-go-round position, just like so

10
00:00:38.760 --> 00:00:39.000
.

11
00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:43.470
Remember, making sure that it doesn't go to level, it's actually pointing down

12
00:00:43.470 --> 00:00:45.000
close to the golf ball.

13
00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:49.590
So it's pointing down close to the golf ball, and then from here, that right

14
00:00:49.590 --> 00:00:53.000
arm is going to extend, and that left hand is going to be pointed behind you.

15
00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:55.000
That right hand is going to be pointed behind you.

16
00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:57.930
So I don't want you to be extending your arm so that your right hand is

17
00:00:57.930 --> 00:01:01.000
pointing towards the sky and your left hand towards the ground.

18
00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:06.000
You want them pointed somewhere back behind you, just like so.

19
00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:10.300
So the merry-go-round position, and then your arms are going to be fully

20
00:01:10.300 --> 00:01:15.000
extended, getting those elbows to feel like they're squeezing together.

21
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:18.690
You're going to be continuing this right shoulder down, and those hands are

22
00:01:18.690 --> 00:01:20.000
pointing behind you.

23
00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:25.000
So that's the merry-go-round going from impact to the follow-through position.
