So far I have dealt in detail with two-thirds of the golf swing.  This has taken the club head away from the ball and back to it.  The third and final stage - the follow-through and finish - completes the pattern and provides a balanced picture of the shape of the whole golf swing.

  At this point you may find it advisable to go back and get clearly in your mind the position in which you have become poised at impact with the ball.

  Now, what happens from then on in a well shaped golf swing?  Let me emphasize that the sequence of positions which the body has taken up in the downswing, soon to be augmented in the follow-through, has been arrived at with two main objects in view:

• to give balance and poise;
• (b) to retain the power in the hands ALL THE TIME.

  A sudden check or lurch in the body-action, no matter how slight, will immediately cut off that power, just as a short circuit cuts off electric current.

  Your club head has made contact with the ball and its unbroken momentum is taking it along the intended line of flight with the ball spread across the face of the club.

  This is what the late Abe Mitchell was referring to when he put into simple words one of the most significant truths in the whole technique of golf: that "it is not so much a matter of hitting the ball hard as of hitting it for a long time".
