"You cannot finish the golf swing unless you release your
left arm, i.e. a relaxed left arm will fold automatically which
produces a complete follow-through and prevents a slice. Squeezing
the left hand of tightening the left arm prevent the club from
truly swinging. An uninterrupted swing will be square at the apex
(impact)." - John

"You have too many thoughts going through your head to be
able to hit a golf ball! Take one of your headcovers and
place it one clubhead length across from your ball. This
will give you automatic feedback if you come over the top." -

"Practice going from your set up just to the finish with
no back swing. Once you get to your finish hold it like a stone
statue for two seconds paying attention to perfect balance. Repeat
this drill 50 times a day for one week and you will never have to
think of your finish again."

"Sounds like you know what you are supposed to be doing.
Are you really? Have someone take a video of your swing or take a
lesson to find out if you are really swinging properly. In most
cases when someone has trouble finishing the golf swing it is more
mental than physical. What do you think about before and during
your swing? If your thought is about hitting the ball, you have a
problem. Just like other sports, your thoughts must be about the
target not about contact. This does take practice, try to train
your mind to picture your target in your mind as you address the
ball. Keep this in mind throughout your swing. Don't let your
thoughts drift back to hitting the ball. You will hit the ball!
This should allow you to accelerate thought impact to the
finish."

"Practice
swing towards a storm window and study your finish position at the
end of your swing. Hold that position for 5 seconds. Repeat that
drill every day for a month. A swing without a follow through is
about as much good as a sentence without a period. Good luck."

"Hello J , Let the
club do the work !! My gut
reaction to your question is you
are guiding your swing into the desired
positions. You want to swing it
into those positions . THE club is
engineered to do its job.! Your are
holding onto the grip too tightly as
you guide it .THEREFORE loosing club
head speed and inhibiting the release ,clubface
open .Drills # 1 go to open area no one
within 30 yards of you or they
all are alert .... . Take your golf
swing and let go of the club
letting it fly down the fairway .Do
this several times feeling the grip
pressure as light as can be until
you finally let go . Now immediately
go to a ball teed up ....And
swing the club with same grip
pressure and let the club go
........ When you play and practice
hold onto the club with just a tiny
bit more pressure . Golf
is not an easy game but it
is a game of ease." - Doug

"J: You are trying too hard to create a
perfect ball flight. By trying too hard, you could be creating
excessive grip pressure that can also lead to a late release of
the club to the ball. Tension can also limit the finish. Make sure
that in an effort to hit the ball square, you are not creating too
much tension in the hands. You should consider trying less to hit
a straight shot and understand that a slight falling fade might be
a great shot to play with. If you swing from the outside to inside
when trying to correct your swing, I must assume that the same
club path with less pronounced error is your natural swing
path. If you are desire a draw, you'll have to re-route your
natural swing to inside-out. There are many drills to do this. One
of the ones I find more successful is to place a ball underneath
an old shaft or flexible stick that is placed at a 45 degree angle
in the ground. Try to hit the ball by swinging underneath the
stick. Let me know if I can help you further." - John
