🗣️ Comment “PURE” to learn how to train better rhythm into your golf swing! Controlling the finish

Rob Cheney demonstrates a controlled finish drill designed to improve swing rhythm and ball-striking consistency. By focusing on specific checkpoints—such as stopping when the trail arm is parallel to the ground and maintaining a 90-degree shoulder turn—golfers can learn to control swing forces without flipping the wrists. Cheney recommends starting with a pitching wedge before progressing to longer, faster clubs.

• Improving rhythm requires defining a specific end point for your follow-through.
• Start practicing with a pitching wedge because lower speeds make controlling swing forces easier.
• Checkpoint 1: Stop the swing when both arms are straight and the trail arm is parallel to the ground.
• Checkpoint 2: Ensure your shoulders have turned approximately 90 degrees toward the target.
• Checkpoint 3: Avoid rolling or flipping the wrists; keep the lead arm and shaft in a straight alignment through the finish.
