Many golf pros may disagree on various techniques for driving or
putting but there in one pint that they all agree with,
maintaining your balance during your swing. It is virtually
impossible to have a good stroke if you do not keep your
balance. It sounds simple enough to do, however in practice we
see people making the mistake of gripping to hard and trying to
kill the ball which results in your entire body being stiff and
off balance.
When teaching a newcomer to play golf, a good golf pro will
caution the novice golfer not to attempt to hit the ball too
hard. The reason for this is that a focused well placed strike
on the ball will result in a much better drive than merely
hitting the ball as hard as you can and hitting the ball off
center.
One of the most important aspects to insuring a good swing is to
keep your head still. This is crucial as the less you move your
head the better focus you will have on the ball. This also goes
a long way to helping you keep your balance. Again, keep your
head perfectly still and don't move it while you complete your
swing.
It is very important that you relax your body and your muscles
to keep your balance. Your head will definitely move if you
don't relax.
One good method for developing a good swing is to practice in
front of a mirror. By doing so, you will quickly realize that
you need to relax your muscles for your head to stay still while
you swing. There are no two golfers with the same build, so you
will have to work out some things for yourself. One thing that
is not optional is to begin by keeping your head in the same
position from the beginning to end of your swing. If you keep
your head still, you will be able to focus on the ball, and you
will turn your hands at the right time. Keeping your head still
will cure many other minor problems
If you don't follow through correctly, you will not be able to
keep your balance.
By concentrating on your balance and keeping your head still,
you will not swing too hard or pull your club away. It will be
impossible to put too much strength into your swing. You will be
relaxed and will have a smooth swing and a successful finish.
Maintaining proper balance is a prerequisite to enjoyment of
golf. Unlike some sports, golf is a more long term commitment.
It can take some time to begin to see a marked improvement so
you must be patient. Just concentrate on relaxing and keeping
your balance while keeping your head still and you will be
shooting low numbers that will be the envy of your club.
