Finishing School: Understanding and Perfecting the Most Neglected Stage of the Golf Swing

Almost every golfer struggles with consistency in their game. Typically, a player might hit a few great shots followed immediately by several disastrous ones, without being able to discern any change at all in their swing. It can be incredibly frustrating. The cause of this problem is most frequently found in the moments before and after impact, which are key to building a perfect swing. Once your finish has been refined, the backswing and downswing can be blended into a consistent, seamless and complete arc. With simple, easy-to-follow images and step-by-step instructions explaining the key points in the final stages of your swing, Finishing School is an essential tool for every golfer looking to improve their game.
