Balance is an important part of a great golf swing.  When you address the golf ball you must be in a balanced position before you start your golf swing.  During your golf swing your shift your weight while at the same time keeping your balance.  Finally, you need to finish your golf swing in a balanced position.

You can see that you need to stability and control during the entire golf swing if you are going to have a successful golf swing.  By successful I mean a golf swing that generates much distance.

An unbalanced golf swing will always result in a mishit.  The reason for the need for balance and control is the golf swing position is an unnatural position for the body to be in.

I was reading an interesting article over at Great Golf Swing Tips that was speaking about the very importance of balance and golf balance exercises for the golf swing.

Great Golf Balance Exercise

One great golf balance exercise you can easily start with is the floor touch.

 

This is great exercise to warm up with before a round of golf. It will help stabilize the ankles, upper legs, and core – plus improve balance, as it engages the quads and glutes, in addition to lengthening the hamstring muscles. Make sure the abdominal muscles are engaged while doing this exercise.

If you would like to find out more information about Golf Exercises then I highly recommend Golf Training DVDs. No matter your fitness level there are exercise videos for you.
