Golf Swing Faults in the Follow Through

The most common fault we see in golfers completing Move 4 is failing to fully transfer weight to the lead hip in the follow through. This incomplete weight transfer creates many different problems in the golf swing, affecting everything from ball-striking consistency to long-term joint health.

As we learned in the “Move 4” video, it’s critical to protect your knees, hips, and back by getting your weight fully over onto your lead heel and getting your hip into neutral joint alignment so it can pivot safely, the way it was designed to. This isn’t just about power — it’s about protecting your body through every swing you take.

A lot of golfers don’t do that. They don’t realize how big a move is required for most people to get all the way over onto the lead hip. Without a proper golf swing weight transfer, the entire kinetic chain breaks down at the finish.

Going into the follow through, a lot of golfers finish like the photo above. That golfer looks like he’s standing pretty straight, pretty much in neutral, but if you look at his trail foot, you’ll notice that the shoe is bent.
