...i don't feel finish swivel is THAT important in hitting.

Just make sure you get to both arms straight and just the momemtum of you thrusting to both arms straight will take you into whatever finish your "finish" is.

Hitting or Swinging, the Finish Swivel is the bridge between the end of the Follow-Through (Both Arms Straight position) and the Finish. In my experience, it is a huge missing piece in the action of most players. Homer Kelley thought so, too, and that is why he included it in the 45 mission-critical items in the Mechanical Checklist For All Strokes (12-3).

In fact, Homer related this story of how he worked with a student to achieve a sufficient amount of the correct Finish Swivel.

Homer: More Swivel.

Student: More?

Homer: More.

Student: More?

Homer: More!

Finally the student was able to complete the assigned task, and both the student and Homer were delighted. Of the session, Homer said:

"I learned more about golf on that day than on any other...he paid me five dollars, too!"
