If you can’t hold the finish, you swung off-balance. Simple as that.
Equipment needed: Any club, ten balls (or none — air swings work).
Setup: Range tee or open grass.
How to run it:
- Take a normal swing.
- Freeze the finish: weight on the front foot, hips facing the target, back foot on the toe.
- Hold for three seconds out loud — “one, two, three.”
- If they can’t, the swing was too aggressive or too off-line.
- Ten reps.
What to look for: The back foot up on the toe, not flat. The body facing the target, not still sideways. If the kid is teetering, they’re not getting through the ball.
Variation: Try it with eyes closed for the last few reps. Forces real balance instead of visual compensation.
