Balance is very essential in executing the right golf swing and in this article I point out three reasons why you may be having difficulties achieving the required balance and I also give three golf tips for balance to correct the situation.

a) Poor setup
A good setup as you approach your shot is essential to helping you maintain balance throughout the golf swing. Setup is easily the most critical golf tip on balance and being able to make a good shot. If your setup is good, even if your other technique is wrong the chances of making a good shot become very high. Part of making a good shot of course involves maintaining your balance throughout the swing.

b) Trying to hit the ball with all your strength
Here is a rather familiar problem amongst amateur golfers. You want to make your drive as long as possible and therefore you hit the ball with all your strength. Not surprising this action rarely has the desired effect and in many cases it results in loss of balance. The golf tip here to correct the balance problem in this case is that the golf club is specially designed to do most of your work for you and technique and golf fitness will work much better than brute force.

c) Weak flabby and unexercised muscles
Your level of golf fitness will have a big say in how well you maintain your balance during and after a golf swing. Golf fitness means that you will have strength and power in your muscles which will give you more confidence and help you maintain your cool and the correct posture all the time. The golf tip on balance here is that strengthened and conditioned muscles will always make a huge difference, not only in your balance but also in your entire game.

These golf tips on balance should help you correct any balance problem you may be having.

Golf Tips - The Lob Shot The lob shot in golf is one of the coolest shots to watch. We’ve all seen a good lob shot executed where the golf ball pops quickly and high into the air then lands ever so softly on the green… like a butterfly with sore feet! The problem here is that for us mortal golfers this is also one of the most difficult shots to perform. Not to worry though… here are a couple tips on how to play the lob shot. First… you’ll want to weaken your grip by rotating your grip counter clockwise on the club just a bit (your left thumb will be pointing directly down the shaft slightly more counter clockwise). A weaker grip will have the tendency to keep the clubface open which allows the club to ‘slide’ under the ball more readily. The clubface as it addresses the ball will be open. With your stance open, position the ball just to the inside of your left heel. As you begin your swing, you’ll set your wrists early. I don’t mean to say that you just pick the club up with your hands… not at all. We...
