So many golfers have good swings that do not repeat because of extraneous movement. One of the best ways to remove extra moving parts is to correct balance issues. Here is a great drill to help you feel/find your balance.
This is a very comprehensive drill because it creates a sensation that you should have on more than just your full swings. Utilize this "flat footed" approach in your putting, chipping, and bunker shots for more consistent contact and better results. Happy Swinging! |

Please be aware of your surroundings when doing this exercise! This drill can be used on the driving range or on the golf course. Happy Swinging!
When facing a downhill lie, the key is to position your upper body parallel to the slope. This will allow your swing plane to match the level of the ground. Here is a downhill lie checklist: 1. Use a wider stance for stability 2. Lean your shoulders with the slope (use your club to help - see picture) 3. The ball will go lower and farther so choose a club accordingly 4. Play the ball position in the middle of your stance 5. Use your practice swing to rehearse the motion and check your balance 6. When swinging, keep your shoulders parallel to the slope throughout Happy Swinging! |
