GOLF SWING BALANCE DRILL

There have been millions of words written about the 
golf swing. Balance seems to always get left out. I 
am going to explain to you today exactly what great 
balance in the golf swings means and how to attain it. 

If I can show you how to make a golf swing with 
balance your swing will be more fluid, you will make 
more solid impact with your shots and the ball will go 
further. There are two reasons why your golf swing is 
not in balace. The first reason is clubhead speed and 
the second is the direction you swing the golf club. 
Let’s start with direction first. 

When you swing the golf club it has to swing on an 
arc. The clubhead has to swing back on an arc and 
down on an arc. If the clubhead swings too much out 
to in (across your body) it will pull you off balance 
towards the golf ball. If you swing the golf club too 
much from in to out (under your body) it will throw 
you off balance and you will fall backwards away from 
the ball.

I have a drill that will help you learn proper balance. 
You have to start this drill out very slowly. 

The next time you are at the driving range take out a 
7 iron and tee up a golf ball. After you have addressed 
the golf ball, lift your left leg a couple of inches off of 
the groud. You have to balance yourself on the right 
leg, now I want you to make a swing. That in itself is 
very difficult to do the first time. You can start out by 
making tiny swings, chip shot swings. After you make 
some swings and hit a few shots, do the same thing 
with your right leg in the air.

This drill will teach you how to maintain proper balance in the golf swing. It is a fantastic drill for 
those of you that struggle with this part of your swing. After you hit 5 shots with your left leg off the 
ground and then 5 shots with the right leg off the ground you can hit 5 shots with both feet on the 
ground. 

You see the first reason you lose your balance is because of the direction you swing the club, the 
second reason is clubhead speed. This drill teaches you how to swing the golf club in the correct 
direction with the proper speed. For better golf swing balance-hit practice shots on one leg.
