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?
In: Physics
Follow through is important because if you stop the throwing or hitting motion right at the moment of release or impact, you aren’t going to impart nearly as much energy into the ball. It is also much easier just to complete the motion rather than try to stop at some midway point.
