Definition
The portion of the golf swing that occurs after ball contact, involving the continuation of club and body motion through impact toward the finish position. Proper follow-through is crucial for consistent ball-striking, power generation, and swing balance. Understanding follow-through mechanics helps golfers develop complete, balanced swings that produce reliable results. Professional golfers often have distinctive follow-through positions that reflect their swing characteristics and technique. Follow-through quality often indicates swing quality and can reveal technical issues requiring attention.
