Golf Swing Practise Exercises -
Golf Swing Tip No 2. Hitting on one leg
Golf swing tip No 2: If your balance still remains poor with the feet together exercise after hitting a number of balls, then try to swing standing on one leg only.
For a right handed golfer stand on the left leg. With the right foot off the floor resting behind the left leg, take a swing and keep balance. This is a difficult but wonderful exercise that will show up any problems with balance and co ordination immediately. The tendency is to want to put the right foot back on the floor at the end of the swing but with a little practise you will be amazed how the body remains still, but turning at the same time.
Once good balance has been achieved, try hitting a few balls on one leg. Keep a smooth rhythm and concentrate on that balance. Very quickly, you will see just how beneficial this type of practise can be.
When really confident, try hitting a few balls from a tee peg with a lofted fairway wood, still on one leg. You might well be surprised to see a gentle draw shot flow from your club head as retaining good balance will allow the hands and arms to do their job properly.
Finally, using this golf swing tip you should be almost able to hit the ball three quarter distance still on one leg, proving that good balance and timing are vital ingredients to hitting better shots.
