This segment is on long drives, hitting your longest, and I'd like to talk about the power
follow through. Now a follow through, if you're throwing a ball, you let it go and you throw.
If you're hitting a baseball, you hit, and that would be the follow through. The follow
through is what happens after you accomplish your goal. Your goal is to take a slap shot.
As soon as that hockey stick hits that puck, boom, you're finished with what you want to
do but you keep going and that is the point. That you don't want to try to do anything
in your follow through, it's just a result of the momentum of getting that club head
speed and then boom, whoa. Whatever happens, happens. So you don't try to do anything in
your follow through. You're trying to hit that ball hard. But you can't stop and you
keep going. However, there are things you could learn from your follow through. Number
one, you should end on the tip of your right toe because if you don't, you didn't use your
body. Even if you're half way there, you didn't use your body fully. You don't try to get
on your toe unless you don't get there, but I'm not thinking of getting on my toe but
I'm going to check. Yes, I'm on my toe, that's good. Let's see this time. No, that's bad. Now if I don't get on my toe
for several times in a row, I'm going to try to cure that, either by turning my body more
as I come into the ball or I might just try to get on my toe. You could learn things from
your follow through. You don't want to think about it unless you're making a mistake. And
if you're taking a good hard swing, a follow through will happen naturally.
