Can't hold finish

Hello fellow golf addicts, I've been working a lot on my golf swing lately just by watching instructional videos and reading a lot of stuff, like on this web site, magazines and other stuff. I'm always reading about holding your finish almost like your suppose to pose after hitting your shot. I can't do this at all. After I finish my swing I automatically extend my arms again, sometimes I force myself to hold my finish but it really hurts my back. I was just wondering how important it really is to hold your finish after you swing?

Re: Can't hold finish

I'm having the same problem. But, my problem does not stem from pain, but rather from pure habit. Lately, I have been able to finish my swing on my front foot and rotate the right foot. But my hands are not following through. I'm trying to consciously ensure that I am following though and keeping my body in its pose to promote proper technique.

Just take a good look at Lorena's swing and note how she has a second extension on the follow through. If you have a nice slow swing with good tempo you should be able to match this movement. It reminds me of an old fashion type of swing but it works. Good luck.

Holding the finish isn't an essential to your golf swing, but it's extremely helpful when you're trying to learn about your swing.
