why is follow through important in sports?

665 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?

Basically you want to be at full power at the moment of contact/release. in fact, for thay moment and critical fractions of a second since that contact does take a little time.

If you’re planning on stopping at that moment, you’re already going to be slowing as it arrives.

It’s more psychological that way than mechanical, follow through is the simplest way to get mind body and need inline.
