Drill To Improve Your Golf Swing

Do you usually lose your balance when it comes to your golf swing? If you do, here's what you can do about it.

First of all, you need to understand that the way you setup to the golf ball dictates to a large degree the balance that you'll have during your golf swing. Well, here is how to obtain a balanced posture position to start your golf swing.

1st.

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

2nd.

Take the straightness out of your knees, then...

3rd.

Place a club along your spine, and then

4th.

Bend forward making sure that your spine remains straight. It is extremely essential once doing this golf swing drill that your backside moves back since this helps to make 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 I've suggested.

And finally.....

5th.

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. As soon as you do this it will automatically place your head behind the ball, which is exactly what you want it to do.

When you're in this golf position you may position a club on the floor in a posture 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. For example, when you're using a wedge you'll have to bend over more than you would for a driver because a wedge is quite a bit shorter than a driver is.

Then when you have performed this exercise and you are set up then get an individual to lightly push on both shoulders from behind and in front. Because doing this will help you to set your weight to the insides of both feet which is where the weight should be. Then get your partner to push lightly on your back and 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.

Once you are in balance you will find that once a person gives yo a little push you will be steady as a rock, and this should be your aim. So do the posture exercise and test yourself until you pass. When you do, your balance will be a lot better during your golf swing.
