A Tip To Improve Your Golf Swing Balance

Even if you think your golf swing balance is fine you should still do this exercise and I’ll explain why after you’ve read what to do.

Now the way you setup to your golf shots has a large influence over the balance you’ll have during your golf swing. So to start with I want you to get into a balanced posture position before you attempt to start your golf swing.

To do this…

First: Stand up straight with your feet about shoulder width apart, then

Second: Take the straightness out of your knees, then…

Third: Place a club along your spine, and then

Fourth: Bend forward making sure that your spine remains straight. It’s very important when doing this golf drill that your backside moves back as this helps to create a balanced golf posture position. You want your weight to be on the balls of your feet when you’re setup and it won’t  be unless you follow the steps suggested.

Fifth: Once you’ve bent over by moving your backside back and keeping  your back straight the next step is to move your left hip (right hip for lefties) slightly towards your target.  When you do this it automatically positions your head behind the ball, which is just where you want it.

Once in this golf posture position you can place a club on the ground in a position to hit a ball, and you probably will have to either bend over more or stand up straighter depending on what club you are using.

After you’re setup to the ball then get someone to lightly push on both shoulders from behind and in front.

This is why I said you should do this drill even if you think you have good golf swing balance.  Because by doing this it will help you to set your weight to the insides of both feet which is where the weight should be. Plus, you’ll feel a lot more secure and grounded before you start your swing.

But then, to further enhance this feeling you then need to get your helper to push lightly on your back – trying to push you towards the ball.

Now if you fall over it’s because your weight is too far forward, so set your weight more back on the balls of your feet and feel as though your feet are planted firmly in the ground.

When you’re in balance you’ll find that when someone gives you a slight push you’ll be steady as a rock and you’ll hit better, more consistent golf shots.

So do this golf swing balance exercise at home if you have to because with a more secure and stable setup position you’ll swing better and you’ll  hit longer golf shots more consistently.

That’s fun isn’t it?

So go and grab someone and do this exercise right now!
