POSITION 10 – Pre Finish
The pre-finish position is an indication of what went before. The guiding theme during your swing is to allow the right shoulder and arm to chase the left. The arms reverse their bend – at the top of your swing the left arm is straight and the right is folded while at the pre-finish the left is folded and the right arm is straight. And here is the key to #10’s importance: If you screw up your shoulder action it’s reflected in your pre-finish. Here’s how it works.
Your trail arm is only so long and it effectively shortens for the worse when your back shoulder loses pace during the race to impact. Held back by the retarded shoulder your back arm will reach its full extension too early transferring so much force to the left elbow that it must collapse resulting in a broken right arm at the pre-finish. In the good swing the trail shoulder keeps moving allowing your arm to “stay long” because there is no pressure on it to collapse.
Things to watch for in your mirror pose: The head swivels and arranges itself in the middle of the shoulders. The right shoulder is in advance of the left and slightly higher. The spine is in a side C, tilted slightly towards the target line. The core is pointed at the target and the left wrist beginning its cup.
