Impact and Follow Through
During golf swing impact and follow-through, the key is maintaining your body position from setup through the swing. This means keeping your spine angle as you started with, your arms extended, and a firm grip on the club. Make sure to keep your left leg straight (righties) as you bring your right knee inward.
Maintaining a balanced weight distribution between both feet during the transition from backswing to impact and follow-through is essential for achieving consistent shots.
The goal here is to have a smooth transition from backswing to impact.
Body Position
As you approach impact, it’s important that your body stays centered over the ball while maintaining good posture and balance throughout this swing phase.
Your chest should remain facing down towards the target line as much as possible so that when contact is made with the ball, it will go straight and down range instead of slicing or hooking off course.
Arm Position
During impact, it’s essential that your arms are fully extended for maximum power transfer from the club head to the ball at the point of contact. If your arms are weak, energy will be lost and your shot distance and accuracy will suffer.
Make sure there is no jerking motion or sudden stops before the completion of the swing motion. The deceleration can cause inconsistency in shots due to timing issues.

Clubface Control
Clubface control is one of those things where practice makes perfect. If you don’t have control, results won’t be what is expected, no matter how well everything else has been executed up until now.
At the point of impact, make sure the club face remains square (or slightly open) relative to the target line – any deviation here could result in either a slice or hook off target direction.
The clubface position is also why many golfers “shank” the ball. To avoid this, try focusing more on making clean, solid contact since proper alignment takes care of itself naturally if done correctly.
Weight transfer needs special attention as well. Too little pressure applied at point-of-contact can cause fat shots. On the other hand, too much force might result in thin ones instead.
Aim for somewhere right smack dab in the middle by shifting all weight onto the lead foot (left foot for right-handed golfers) just before impact. Keep your upper body stationary except for a slight hip rotation towards the target direction after the takeaway portion.
