Golf balance and golf weight shift instruction made simple

How does a golfer stay balanced and shift their weight at the same time? Few golfers seem to know the answer to this fundamental question and even fewer are able to consistently make a balanced swing with an efficient weight shift.

Simple balance and weight shift drills that exaggerate the moves in a normal swing can be used to develop awareness and proficiency. With this mastery comes the ability to fine tune the mechanics of the swing to increase power and accuracy.

The X Factor Myth and Golf Balance, Golf Weight Shift

Turn your hips for golf balance and weight shift

The "X factor" in golf measures the shoulder turn relative to the hip turn. It is often taught that the hips should not be allowed to turn in the backswing so the X factor can be maximized.

Unfortunately this causes many golfers to tense their legs and lower back muscles, to lose their balance in the backswing, and to prevent their weight from shifting properly.

Let you hips turn freely and let your left heel come off the ground in your backswing. Notice the tension that is NOT in your left leg and lower back any more. Also notice how much more natural it feels to lead the downswing with the lower body.

For many golfers allowing the hips to turn opens up a whole new effortless swing that had been eluding them for years.
