D2. Barefoot Balance Drill

BENEFIT Mastering this drill pays great dividends in your golf swing, because maintaining balance in the lower body will eliminate many swing faults that occur in the upper body.

STEP 1 Stand barefoot (on grass) in your address position, paying strict attention to where the weight and weight pressure are on your feet (Fig. 8.3). Your weight should be 50–50 on each foot, with the majority on the balls of your feet.

STEP 2 Go ahead and swing. (You can hit a ball during this drill.) Pay attention to where the weight and weight pressure are on your feet during your swing. On the backswing, most of your weight should go onto the ball of your right foot (Fig. 8.4), and on the forward swing, your weight should shift to the ball of your left foot (Fig. 8.5), and then immediately toward your left heel (Fig. 8.6). You’ll be able to quickly determine if your weight distribution is in balance.
