Do you find that you don't keep your balance through the golf swing? You would know this if you find after your swing the club that you have fallen to one side or leaning backwards. Poor balance is one of the leading causes of poor golf shots by amateurs. When you lose your balance even slightly you lose the stored power you had in your backswing.
So what to do about it?
One of the best exercises is a series of exercises on an exercise ball can be added to any fitness plan. First, you have to develop enough balance and core strength to kneel on the ball with out falling. This can takes weeks or months depending on where are starting from. You need to be able to kneel on the ball and keep yourself steady for a min. before moving on.
The advanced step once you can kneel on the ball is to while kneeling on the ball work on rotating like your golf swing though with no club. Start moving slowly as fast movements will just through you off the ball. Fell how you have to hold your core abdominal muscles tight to keep from falling. Once you can do this than add a club.
Each phases of this exercise you will still see improvement in your balance and golf game. It isn't important to rush to getting to swinging a club on the ball. The important factor is that you are improving your core strength and balance at your own level. Jumping straight to swing a club on the ball only creates bad habits if you can stay on the ball at all.
