Good Balance for a Good Golf Swing

One of the most important aspects of a golf swing is balance. Having the proper balance means that during the golf swing, your weight is positioned so as not to allow your body to lean too far forward, backward, left or right. Having good balance also brings out good rhythm during the swing.

Many higher scoring golfers try to hit the ball as far as possible by swinging the club very fast. As a result, they lose their balance (which then makes them actually slow down the swing just to regain their balance)  which delivers only a glancing blow on the ball losing much of the power of the swing. The problem all stems back to the fact that the golfer tries to hit too hard by swinging too fast without any effort to keep a balanced swing. Our advice is to start by making a slow motion swing hitting the ball. The most important balance checkpoint during the swing is the follow-through.
Since the entire swing takes less than 3 seconds, your only swing thought should be the balance at the end of the swing.
Finish in balance and it's a good bet your entire swing was in balance.
