Get Some Balance in your life - Part 2
So where do you start?
Good posture and setup is vital and your centre of gravity will be set properly with good posture and balance so take some time to get this right, you must have a good foundation. Get some photo’s of professionals and start copying them, using a mirror works really well or ask a professional to work with you on posture, setup and balance.
Make sure you have a feeling of great balance in the setup position and knowing (feeling) that you are able to make a well balanced dynamic move when you swing. Weight distribution on your feet is very important and I personally recommend a 50/50 distribution between the heels and balls of the feet.
Feedback your feelings of balance from your swing. Become aware of balance, awareness is the first stage of learning.
Hold your finish position for at least 3 seconds or you can hold your finish until the ball lands and notice where your balance is (or isn't) and what compensations you are making in order to try and “Hold” the finish without falling over.
What positions are your feet in when you are in the finish position? Has the target foot moved out of it’s setup position? Are you balanced on the toes of your non-target foot? Continue to give yourself feedback until you feel in control throughout the swing and can hold a full balanced finish position with no need to make compensations. Again, you can copy a professional finish position but try to choose a golfer who matches up with you as much as possible in build and age. I don’t recommend my senior golfers emulate Tiger Woods.
Do you want your un-conscious mind to be fully focussed on sending the ball to your target? Do you want it to be able to co-ordinate your entire body in a smooth flowing move that feels effortless and yet powerful? Do you want to hit the ball straighter and further with less effort?
Get some balance and rhythm in your golf and help your mind to focus on sending the ball to your target because good golf is a balance between techniques and using your mind properly to achieve more than you may believe.
