This document provides five drills to help improve a golfer's balance during their swing: 1) the one leg drill which strengthens the front leg, 2) the one hand drill which teaches proper weight shift, 3) lifting the front leg during the downswing to shift weight, 4) closing the eyes to feel weight distribution, and 5) hitting balls with the feet together to encourage a perfect turn. Maintaining balance is key to consistency, rhythm, and power in the golf swing. These drills target different phases of the swing to help ingrain better balance.

2. Five Drill That Ingrain Balance
• Maintaining balance during your swing is a key
to consistency. Outstanding ballstrikers rarely
lose their balance. When combined with
rhythm and tempo, balance is also a key to
more power. If you rush your swing, you lose
your balance, resulting in mis-hits and
inconsistency. Imagine trying to swing a club
while standing on ice. It would be hard to
complete the swing. Even if you did, it
probably wouldn’t go far.

3. Five Drill That Ingrain Balance
• so where does great balance come from? It starts
with your feet. That’s because your feet help
control how you shift your weight during the
swing. Shift your weight improperly and your
swing suffers. Do this often enough and your golf
handicap suffers as well. By focusing on how you
shift your weight, you can ingrain a better swing,
one that delivers awesome power to the ball.
• Below are five drills to help you maintain balance
throughout your swing, along with some
additional golf tips:

4. 1. One Leg Drill
• This drill is used in golf lessons to enhance a
student’s balance and strengthen his or her front
leg, so it becomes a solid post to coil around. Use
a 7-iron for the drill:
• Go to an open space where you can swing the
club freely. Place a plastic ball where you would
normally position a ball to hit a 7-iron. Address
the ball as you normally would with your club in
hand. Now lift your back foot off the ground.
Balance yourself. Now try to hit the plastic ball.

5. 2. One Hand Drill
• This is another drill often used in golf lessons. It
teaches you that your body weight should always
shift in the same direction as your swing:
• Find some room where you can swing a club
without obstruction. Take your normal address
position. Now swing the club back with your right
arm only (left-arm for left-handers.). Swinging
back one-handed forces you to shift your weight
to your back foot.

6. 3. Lift Your Front Leg Drill
• We teach students in our golf instruction
sessions that the most critical phase in weight
shift is when the club starts down. The drill below
targets this phase of the swing.
• Take your normal address position. Swing the club
back while lifting your front leg off the ground.
Balance yourself there for a split second. Now
start your downswing by stomping the front foot
down, forcing your weight to transfer from your
back side to your front side and setting up a
powerful move into the ball.

7. 4. Closed Eye Drill
• You can practice this drill at home. All you need is an
area where you can swing a club freely.
• Take your normal address position. Now close your
eyes and feel your balance at address. You should feel
your weight on your front foot. Make a backswing and
stop at the top. Feel your balance on the inside of the
back foot. Now start your downswing by feeling your
weight move to the front foot. Stop at impact. Your
weight should be on the front foot. Continue your
swing to the finish and hold, feeling your weight on the
front foot, and tap your back toe on the ground.

8. 5. Feet Together Drill
• Hitting balls from a normal stance lets you make mistakes
during the swing without falling over. You can commit all
manner of faults—move your head, reverse pivot, sway—
and still hit the ball. But hitting balls with your feet together
makes the golfer make a perfect turn.
• Go to a driving range. Now set up to a ball as you normal
would. Take your front foot and move it next to your back
foot. Now hit the ball without losing your balance. With
your feet together, your body automatically finds the most
efficient swing to keep you from falling over. Hitting shots
with your feet together encourages a golfer to make a
perfect turn off a single axis.

9. summary
• The drills and golf tips provided above will
help improve your balance—a key to
generating a better, more powerful swing. If
you’re serious about developing a great swing,
work on the drills and golf tips described
above. While developing a more powerful
swing won’t chop strokes off your golf
handicap by itself, it can help you boost your
game to another level!!
