Better Balance for Better Game

Possessing power and flexibility are essential to playing better golf, but neither trait will positively contribute to your game unless you’ve properly honed your balance as well. The rapid movement that occurs when you shift your weight through a golf swing can very easily throw off your balance completely, so next time you break out your FIT for Golf Training Ball for your pre-round warm up, take a few moments to incorporate some balance-focused golf fitness exercises into your routine. Increased stability through the impact zone will increase your ability to hit better golf shots more consistently.

As you’re going through your pre-round golf fitness routine, take a few seconds to stand on a single leg with your eyes closed. Then, keep them closed while switching legs and repeat. Because your sense of sight heavily contributes to your balance, it is especially useful to practice shifting your weight from leg to leg while your vision is impaired. This is an ideal practice method for those whose balance is affected by rapid movements that occur too quickly for the eye to catch, such as the motion of a swinging golf club. Performing this simple exercise after completing your golf stretching exercises with the FIT for Golf Training Ball is a sure way to improve your balance and your golf game on the whole.
