Rory rotates into the follow-through and the
butt end of the club is ideally still pointing at the
middle of his chest, indicating the clubhead is
back out in front of him. More importantly, there
is no over-rotation of the clubhead and he keeps
it square to his turning body.

With his hands now moving past his hips and
up towards his shoulder, his club shaft is, again,
moving to a parallel position to his original address
position shaft plane. His posture nearing the finish
is still as it was at the beginning of the swing.

12


His beautifully balanced finish position is
indicative of maintaining good angles and
posture throughout the swing. Despite the speed
of his swing, he has stayed balanced because he
has rotated his body wonderfully well and kept
his lower half stable throughout.
