I'm hoping to get some advice. I suffer with a higher ball flight than I would like. I've noticed that when you watch the follow through of a good golfer, the right arm is extended and the club forms a straight line very late the follow though, sometimes at 2-3 o'clock on an imaginary clock face. I am finding this impossible to achieve. in my case, nothing I do can prevent the club head catching up with my right arm just after impact. By the time my right arm is parallel with the ground, there is a 90 degree angle between my arm and the club. Any ideas on what's making this so difficult for me? Thanks !

My guess would be you are casting from the top of the swing. No way of fighting it during the follow through once the damage is done, you need to fix the problem upstream. Some nice and easy swings doing the flying wedge drill should help.

That pic looks a bit exaggerated, pros will typically look more like this.

But I get what you're saying and agree with @SavvySwede , your inability to "stretch" your arms is due to something happening well before the followthrough/impact.

Check out this drill.

    • Three great shots from McIlroy's group (Smith and the US Am Champ) on 12.  The amateur won closest to the pin, although I doubt the group had a bet going.
    • I thought complaining about Fleetwood's appearance was my schtick   For real though, I agree with you, and when I see that, especially in a major, I'm confused.  When I play in a multi-day event at my club, I plan my clothing in advance because I want to look my best.   If no one else, their clothing sponsors should do this for them.  I think Nike used to do this with their stable -- I used to look forward to seeing their posts on the Facebook before majors to see how Tiger and Anthony Kim and friends would be dressed. Meanwhile, Jason Day is dressed fairly blandly today.  Who saw that coming?
    • The hell is Thomas Fleetwood wearing? He looks like a divorced dad from 1998. Even the shoes are hideous 
    • I was wondering this and haven't seen it on today's broadcast OR yesterday's, but apparently Cabrera did show up.  He currently has the third highest score for the week and is playing his last hole of this year's event.  I'm not particularly keen to see him, but I was wondering if he was present, and he seems to be.
    • Hatton hit 18 GIR.  That's incredible.   Rory's tee shot on #8 reminds me of a TV show, Get Smart, that I enjoyed watching as a kid.  The protagonist would often say "missed me by that much."  Rory missed avoiding the bunker by that much.
