Balance, the
Invisible Fundamental
I once attended
a PGA conference where Peter Kostis gave a presentation on
the golf swing. His theme was the importance of good
balance.
It seems that
many if not most swing problems can be tamed if your balance
issues are cured. For example, the all too common
over-the-top move. Did you think it was your arms at fault?
Too quick?
Perhaps the
problem stems from a different place altogether. Mr. Kostis
used the example of a high-wire acrobat. When the
performer's center -of-gravity is directly over the wire,
his arms are very steady. But get the COG off just a
little, and the arms begin to flail and thrash in order to
regain balance..
So if the
golfer's center is out of the `balance zone', the arms will
flap out and around, resulting in the slice or power-pull.

hands so abruptly into the ball; he doesn't know where he is
in space; he is, of course, all over the place, and reacts
by trying to get his club on the ball any way he can. It's
all very inefficient, and unpleasant to watch. He's working
too hard
New
technology can now track a golfer's center of gravity.
Balance can be learned! We are thrilled to have the most
powerful technology available to track balance in the golf
swing, the Dynamic Balance System This incredible tool
shows, in real time, where your COG went, and when.
Your personal
data can then be compared with a library of high performance
golfers, with problem areas isolated and worked on.
The DBS is
like an MRI of your swing. We hope you will take advantage
of this learning tool- It will also be used with lessons
with Ed Call 450 0111 to book on the DBS. |
