T-Finish
T-Finish
I see a lot of golfers who keep their head down after impact for far too long. Instead of standing up as fast as possible, they're still looking down well after the ball has been struck. This can cause you to lose clubhead speed and can hurt your ball striking consistency.
Most of the golfers who migrate to the PPGS know about the T-finish position. But, do you know why I call it that? It's about more than just the position of your arms!
It's not fun to play golf when you're hitting the ball poorly. But, it's even less fun when you're in pain while it's happening. One of the biggest reasons why golfers get hurt is because of their finish position.
The human body is a pretty amazing thing. It can even tell us when an injury is approaching. Our bodies give us tension, stress, and strain as a prelude to pain. So why do golfers insist on over rotating, especially on the follow through to finish?
One of the great things about a vertical golf swing is that it allows you to maintain equal pressure in each hand throughout the entirety of the swing. That's because your arms and hands go straight up and straight down...or at least they should!
From the beginning of your swing to the moment you recoil and relax, your balance should never waver. If you maintain this dynamic balance throughout your swing, there is a good chance you probably just hit a good shot.
Today's video is all about alignment and the direct correlation it has with your finish. If you are having any sort of trouble getting to a correct finish, the problem may be rooted in your setup.
The bump is probably one of the most misunderstood concepts of the Peak Performance Golf Swing. In reality, it should just be part of the swing when things are flowing correctly. It starts with ringing the bell and ends with swinging up to the T-Finish before recoiling and relaxing.
Your finish position is just as important as any other part of the swing, especially when you're using the Peak Performance Golf Swing. The T-Finish position is a term I use to describe where you should be at the end of your swing, while facing your target.

Whenever I discuss the impact position, I usually include my thought process of swinging up to the T-Finish. However, that doesn't mean I'm hitting up on the ball. It's merely a thought I use to keep me from moving my whole body forward during the transition.
One of the key elements of the Peak Performance Golf Swing is how we finish the swing. After swinging up to a solid T-finish position, the next step in the swing is to recoil and relax. This enables you to maintain balance and always finish with your body pointed at the target.
Today I'm going to do something a little different. Instead of providing a tip that I've discovered, I'd like to share one that was sent in by Bob Chipps.
Today's question comes to me all the way from England. Anne Ellis is having some trouble with her finish. Instead of swinging up to a nice, solid T-finish, she has the habit of cutting off her swing right after impact. What's worse yet is that she knows she's doing this.
Today's question wasn't accompanied by a name, but it's a really good topic that I want to go over anyway. It has to do with the left arm position and the proper mechanics of the elbows during the forward upswing (FUS).
