TRANSCRIPTS
-I'm Martin Hall. You're watching School of Golf Extra Credit,
Better Balance. I want to stop you staggering to the
clubhouse and leaking oil. Look, balance doesn't just mean that
you can hold the finish at the end of the
swing. A lot of people mistakenly say that. Let me
show you something. I can wobble all over the place
and somehow hold my finish. That's not a well-balanced golf
swing you probably won't repeat. I've got 4 drills at
every golf because you probably spend some time doing to
improve your balance no matter what standard you're at. First
drill, we'll call it left foot, right toe, left foot,
right toe. Hit some shots just off the left foot
right toe. It will power you down a bit and
it will keep you balanced and when you balance your
arms do about an appropriate amount of work not too
much. Now we're gonna go right foot, left toe, right
foot, left toe. Now I put the ball about in
line with the right foot here but working both sides
of the body, right foot, left toe, again keeping the
balance. You can see those balls or I hope you
can at going actually rather straight. Now next drill, left
leg only. This one is a little more difficult, just
a little more advanced, left leg only. You'll wobble around
a little bit but again a great drill for keeping
the balance and eventually right leg only. Just standing on
the right foot. I'd recommend every golfer does each of
those 4 drills to get a sense of keeping the
balance. There is one more you can do if you
really want to test yourself and that's actually instead of
wearing golf shoes, get some street shoes and leather sole
shoes on Lee Trevino. You see this in cowboy boots
and see if you can actually hit shots wearing street
shoes. Trainers would do because that'll stop you winding and
talking and losing your balance and I would stress to
you a respective of the standard. Some of your work
should always be done on balance. Really help you play
better. Thanks for joining us on GolfChannel.com for the best
in golf instruction. I'm Martin Hall and you've been watching
School of Golf Extra Credit. For more tips like these,
tune in to School of Golf at Tuesdays 7 pm
Eastern.
