Beat the ball: max force into its back, ignore the finish

Once you have loaded the trail side, deliver your maximum force straight into the back of the ball rather than trying to get through it to a pretty follow-through. Using the image of beating a rug hung on a washing line with a cricket bat, the point is a long follow-through is unnecessary; trying to swing through is what makes the swing look like hard work.

Why this context matters

Aimed especially at golfers who worry they don't follow through far enough.
