Golf Tips Building Balance in your Golf Swing. Start by shifting more of your weight onto the balls of your feet in your set up. As you move through your swing (first working on a quarter to third length swing) focus on maintaining pressure on the balls of your feet. Avoid moving too much weight towards the toes or heels as you swing. This simple practice can help posture and swing path and most importantly help with better impact. The use of balance devices that you stand on such as half foam rollers, rotation disks or rubber air filled disk may also be helpful. You may have seen many of these items in health clubs or used for physical therapy. They assist in working your core muscles to increase strength and stability. We offer these items for use during golf instruction sessions at the Practice Range. Improving Your Approach and Chip Shots One of the problems I see players having with these shots is that their lead wrist (closest to the target) is cupping through impact and their weight going onto their back foot trying to scoop or lift the ball into the air when going through impact, causing shots that are topped, skulled or making contact with the ground prior to hitting ball. This also causes inconsistence distances due to inconsistent loft of the clubface through impact. The opposite should be done. Your lead wrist (closest to the target) should remain flat through impact and your weight needs to stay on your lead foot (closest to the target).This will keep the club head descending and traveling low through impact. A good drill to work on your short pitch and chip shots is to get into your setup for your pitch/chip shot and then, place as much of your weight as possible on your lead foot ( foot closest to the target)next, position your other foot so only the tip of your shoe is touching the ground(for balance only). Remain in this position and focus on keeping your lead wrist flat and your weight on your lead foot. Finish the stroke at least a foot to two feet past impact and check your position. If you are not in the proper position then make the adjustments and try again. Once you have mastered this drill, you can vary club selection and distance from the green to help in determining which club will perform better from different positions and then so from a conventional set-up. This drill can also be very helpful for all your full and sand shots! Conventional set-up for a chip or pitch shot 1. Your weight will be predominately on your lead foot, say 60% to 70%. 2. Ball position should be center to 2' to 3' back of center of your stance (towards your trail foot). 3. Stance should be shoulder width. 4. The stance should be slightly open to your target line. (lead foot is 2' to 3' farther from your target line than trail foot) 5. The back swing will be longer than the fore swing. Keep a constant pace or slight acceleration through impact. 6. The club selection and length of the swing will determine the distance of the shot.
