This is for the group of guys that i saw last week at the ProJam Golf Academy hosted at Silverstone Golf Club that we hosted for the soldiers and mariners of the British Forces.Over the course of the week all of the guys had a load of time with a swing training aid called Explanar for those unaware visit (www.chris-guy.com/creativegolf.php) and got them understanding their body positions during the movement of the swing both backwards and forwards.
There is a lot said about how the back swing has got to be here, there and everywhere and be perfect to but very little is written about the follow-through.
To make it easy for them and other individuals to understand how to develop the feel that requires the width on both back and through swings we used the clock face.
In the image above we can clearly see Tiger at address (6 o'clock) notice the cap. through out the movement it may move 2" in total to the right. Typically meaning he is not going to rip the big ball first (earth) and hit it heavy, fat etc... but also meaning the solid base that he has set himself at address is SOLID. At the top halve of the swing the width is clear to see. Just beyond (9 o'clock) the hands are in hinge mode and the left arm is straight, not stretched. The movement to 10 o'clock is one movement it's shoulder turn.
Now the interesting thing is the next image shows the width for the follow-through,
clearly visible is the position that Tiger finds at 2 o clock, the width that he produces here is simply the position he was in at the 10 o clock point of his golf swing. In terms of width the club is as far away from his chest here as it was on the way back. The shaft angle at 5 o'clock is the same as it would look at 7 on the way back.

Simply improve your understanding of the width to produce consistency and get through ball to improve your strike and flight of the ball.
Practice the 8 to 4 o clock movements first to understand the full benefit of keeping it wider.
