Today we will talk about the extension through the ball to increase accuracy with your golf swing. The longer you keep the clubhead moving to the target through the ball, the straighter you will hit the ball.
Last week's Technical Thursday #3, I talked about the extension, but I want to add an important component to that this week. Swinging Down the Line! Swinging Down the Line means keeping the clubhead on line to the target as long as possible. This is going to add an accuracy component that is critical in the golf swing.
To check whether you are doing this correctly, if you practice on your own, place an alignment stick in the ground about 3 feet in front of you and on your toe line. When you swing through, you should be able to miss the alignment stick. This is the feedback you need to confirm that you are swinging the club "down the line!"
Combining that with the release will also add power to your game as you will be squaring the clubface at impact, giving you a solid hit.
