Balance, Using a Soccer Ball |
|
If you lack power or can never achieve balance when you finish your swing, try this drill.
Place a soccer or beach ball between your knees and simply squeeze it and keep it there as you coil your upper body on the back swing. This will help to remind you of the sensation of keeping the distance between your knees constant all the way up to the top of your swing, and encourage strong leg action and a powerful coil.
Once you complete the back swing, initiate the downswing with your lower body by moving your forward knee toward the target. Your legs should take on a squat or sit-down look, and the ball should fall from your knees. As your arms drop, simply push off of your right foot and swing to the finish.
If you perform the drill correctly, you can't help but finish in balance. Use this drill to help remind you to create a gap between the knees on the back swing and to close the gap on the downswing. That's what the pros do.
