A further result is more spin and a lack of distance.
I discussed this with a local PGA pro recently, who gave me a simple little drill to help all amateur golfers finish their golf swing with a solid, balanced follow through and high finish.
The result will likely be additional distance with less effort. You won't be swinging the golf club harder but, if you're a slicer, the drill will help reduce, that most destructive of shots.
"If you're a right-handed golfer, make practice swings with the club, just with your right arm only, taking the club only as far as parallel with the ground in the back swing through swing. Momentum and weight will force your right hand and forearm to turn inward over as you come through the address position.
