Walk-Through Release

Make practice swings and let your trail foot step forward past your lead foot right after the swing finishes, like walking toward the target.

Duration: 5 min
Reps: 3 sets of 10
Equipment: none
Level: Beginner

How to do it

Take your normal golf posture without a club, or holding one loosely.
Make a few practice turns back and through.
Let your trail foot step forward past your lead foot right after the swing finishes.
Feel the step happen because your chest kept turning, not because you forced your foot.
Repeat for 3 sets of 10.

Goal

Encourage the body to keep rotating and moving toward the target instead of stalling and letting the arms pull the club left.

Feel cue

Feel your trail foot naturally walk forward as your chest keeps turning past the ball.

Mistake to avoid

Forcing the step with your foot while your upper body stays stuck facing the ball — the step should be a result of full rotation, not a substitute for it.
