Sorry for the awkward phrasing, but I wrote that thinking you were a lefty but not being entirely sure.
Assuming you are:
in your follow through you should have the feeling of almost all your weight being on your lead foot (your right), and you should feel as though your left arm (your dominant side) is reaching forward to shake hands with someone just out of your grasp.
If you prefer a tennis analogy, assume you are trying to hit a topspin forehand. Your weight must be forward and your dominant hand must overtake your weak hand
Look at the seventh panel in this swing sequence:
Now, consider the difference with this:
Notice how open the face is here. In order to hit the ball straight this guy has to flip his hands at impact and hope for perfect timing.
One way you can work on this is the Gary Player drill.
Hit balls with a 7-iron and on your follow through take a step towards the target. Eventually you'll feel what it's like to finish with your weight in front and shake hands with the target.
