If you’ve ever watched Anika Sorenstam swing a golf club, you may have noticed that she rotates her head toward the target during the follow-through.
Most golfers have been taught to ‘keep their head down’, not knowing that they might be the victims of bad advice.
In direct contrast to the ‘keep your head down’ advice shared between high handicap golfers around the world, there are a surprisingly large number of professional golfers who do the exact opposite.
Anika Sorenstam is probably most famous for this move, but she is closely followed by Swedish compatriot Henrik Stensen and former world No.1 David Duval. Dustin Johnson also allows his head to rotate during the follow through, but not to the same extent as Anika and Henrik.
The point is, this move can greatly improve your ability to rotate your torso during the follow through. For some players it will even feel like you have ‘taken the brakes’ of your torso rotation speed.
