Follow Through with Exercise Band
the Weighted Golf Follow-Through with Exercise Band is the perfect complement to the Weighted Backswing drill. Together, they train both phases of your swing for power, control, and balance.
Primary Muscles Used
Follow Through with Exercise Band Instructions
- Anchor the exercise band securely to a low or mid-height point behind you (opposite the direction of your follow-through).
- Use a medium-resistance band that provides smooth tension without jerking your movement.
- Stand in your golf stance facing away from the anchor point.
- Feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly flexed, and spine neutral.
- The band should be positioned so that it pulls from behind your trail side (right side for right-handed golfers).
- Grip the band like a golf club using both hands — lead hand on top, trail hand below — with slight tension in the band before you start.
- Engage your core and maintain a strong golf posture — chest up, back flat, and weight balanced over your lead leg
- Start from ball strike position.
- Your weight should be on your lead leg with glute engaged and back.
- The band should already be stretched slightly, creating resistance that forces muscle engagement.
- Rotate past impact point while maintaining control — focus on feeling your core and glutes engaged to power the movement and give you balance.
- Continue rotating into your follow-through, pulling the band across your body toward your target side.
- End with your chest facing the target, your trail heel lifted, and your weight balanced on your lead foot — just like a real golf finish.
- Hold the follow-through position for 1–2 seconds, feeling your glutes, core, and shoulders engaged.
- Slowly return to the start position, controlling the band’s resistance on the way back.
- Repeat.
Tim's list of benefits for the Hinged Single Arm Twisting Row
- Strengthens the core, hips, and shoulders — the key muscles that generate power as you rotate through the ball.
- Builds the ability to accelerate through impact instead of decelerating, resulting in greater clubhead speed and distance.
- Improves the natural flow of your swing for consistent ball striking.
- Strengthens the glutes and legs for better control during the follow-through.
- Mimics the real movement pattern of your follow-through, strengthening the exact muscles and angles used in your swing.
- Encourages proper hip and shoulder rotation through impact, helping you avoid “cutting off” your swing or stopping short.
- Leads to a smoother, more complete follow-through and improved tempo.
- The resistance of the band provides tactile feedback, helping you “feel” the correct motion and develop better body awareness for your swing.
- Strengthens stabilizing muscles around the hips, spine, and shoulders, reducing strain on the lower back and preventing overuse injuries common in golfers.
