Golf Tip 101: Balance Your Followthrough

Struggling to finish the swing in balance?  Technical breakdowns, such as an incorrect weight shift can contribute to loss of balance in the followthrough. 

However, unstable finishes can also be caused by a lack of balance training on the left/lead leg.  To improve balance issues, start by simply standing on one leg.  Eventually, work towards more golf-specific balance exercises like the one pictured below.

Whether is a technical swing flaw or a motor skill issue, improving physical balance is always a good thing!
