Pause-and-Continue Finish

Swing to impact, pause for a full second, then consciously keep rotating your body to a full chest-to-target finish.

Duration: 6 min
Reps: 3 sets of 8
Equipment: club
Level: Beginner

How to do it

Take your normal setup and swing down to impact.
Pause completely for one full second at the impact position.
From the pause, consciously keep rotating your hips and chest to a full finish.
Check that your chest ends up facing the target.
Repeat for 3 sets of 8, then try it without the pause.

Goal

Isolate the feeling of continued rotation past impact so the body stops treating impact as the end of the swing.

Feel cue

Feel a second wave of turn happen in your hips and chest right after the pause.

Mistake to avoid

Using the pause as a rest and then just holding the club up, instead of deliberately turning through — a held pause without a real second turn just relocates the stall.
