This is the last position in our series of key swing positions that allow you to match your swing to a pro swing model to see how it stacks up. The model assumes a right handed golfer who is hitting a straight shot.
The Finish:
The gymnasts call it 'sticking' your finish and when you stick your finish in golf, good things will happen. Here is the anatomy of your Kodak moment [KM].
1] Your weight is balanced on the front foot, with the back foot acting as a rudder
2] Your hips are perpendicular to the target line
3] Your shoulders have rotated past perpendicular with your right shoulder in advance of the left.
4] Everything you own – your nose your belt buckle, your right knee etc. is pointing at the target.
The Arc Player
Sheehan is an Arc player and finishes in the reverse "C" position. Her arms are in a high position over her left shoulder and her body is bowed, with her head over her right foot.
The Leverage Player
The Leverage - Side-C

the right shoulder slightly lower than the left (a sideways “C” or bow) ala
Keegan Bradley.
The Finish of the Width Player
If you are a Width Player like Daren Clarke the finish is erect, in straight up "I" position, with your shoulders level to the ground. Your head should be over your left foot with no bend in your back.
The Pose Drill
No matter which finish your body dictates, you can memorize it by repeating the “posing drill.” Close your eyes, swing the club, and pose in your finish for a slow count of three. Open your eyes and make certain you match your prototype. This is your swings' Kodak Moment, and it should be your goal to nail this position for every swing.
