why is follow through important in sports?

681 viewsOtherPhysics

I didn’t play any sports growing up and my kids are in it now. I hear a lot of talk about “following through” and “follow through”. Throwing a baseball, shooting a basketball, golf swing, hockey, swinging a bat.

In these cases the ball / item has already left or has been hit so why is follow through important? Does it have an effect on the initial release / impact?

High five someone and both try to stop right at impact. Then do a high five where you both follow through impact. Listen to the sound and feel the solidness of impact. Now apply that same principle to any sporting activities. When you stop at the target you lose power, and accuracy with anything you do.
