I have a horrible time with balance in my golf swing.  I'm constantly falling out of it or falling back out of my swing and I'm sure it's my balance that is off.  I'm also sure that my "swinging for the fences" mentality isn't helping either.  It is most noticeable when swinging with my driver but even down to my wedges I notice its incredibly hard for me to balance and hold that nice pose through my finish swing.  Does anyone have any good balance exercises to do to help resolve this problem?

 

Thanks

Thomas

One legged squats are good in general for balance, but really any type of exercise where you have to hold a static position (in this case your legs) are a good start. As you get better you can introduce some other variables. I know you requested exercises, but I do recommend the following, as it could be something about your swing causing the issue:

Squats on a Bosu ball help me tremendously with both balance and core strength. I should really do more of them.

    • First going to spain for a long weekend in March probably going to play La Quinta, Los Arqueros and Fina Cortesin, and first week in May will compete in the Crawsnest Tassie at Carnoustie golf links, that will be a full week of golf golf golf and more golf. Did play it last year for the first time and it is awesome.
    • Scrubs is coming back to ABC. February 25.
    • Day 47: simulator day! Played St. Andrew’s and shot a +1. Not bad, especially with having to putt at this simulator set up. Had about 5 minutes at the end to work on some feels as well. 
    • I think you're saying it's preposterous to think that the areas on this club are anything like what's shown here: 30mm toward the toe or heel loses only 5% distance? Highly, highly doubtful. So a guy who hits the ball there and normally hits the ball about 250… will hit it instead about 238. By missing the sweet spot by about 1.2 inches? Highly, highly doubtful. Heck, the high heel barely gets into the red, and orange is only "up to" 10%! @M2R, I've never heard of "Ask Golf Nut" but I'm dubious of his claims in the video and really, really dubious of what's on his site: "Why AskGolfNut Is the Most Trusted Data-Driven Golf Resource". Hmmmmmm.
