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.

George Knudson wrote :`no wonder the unbalanced golfer whips his 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.
