Balance In The Golf Swing...What Is It?
This can even be said of some of the top players of whom some fall back after they hit Montgomerie and others like Gary Player and Anthony Kim are shifting forward after they hit. So where is it most important to be balanced in your swing? The answer is impact, where the body is returned to a stacked position with the shoulders above the hips and the pressure on the left leg, another word that gets used to describe this position is covering the ball. The issue of balance arises when the top and bottom parts of the body get out of sync, for example a top leaning back to far is not balanced. For the most part as mentioned most golfer's are never totally balanced throughout their golf swings, instead a far more accurate description of what is happening is to say they are counter balancing. Counter balance is the product of movement out of the correct hitting angles or changes in posture or even misconceptions about the set-up angles. Think about this, have you ever been told that you are swinging too fast? This is the result of people observing too much movement in your swing and because speed relates to movement this is the reason they will say this. However slowing your swing down is not the answer as this will only lead to hitting the ball shorter distances. Counter balance is again the product of being in the wrong set-up angles at the start and then like a chain reaction the body works to stay in balance perhaps a little bit like the video below.....have a good laugh!
