Balance in Golf | Get Grounded to Improve Your Golf Swing

Understanding balance in golf can be genuinely confusing. It seems like you are always receiving conflicting advice from one golf instructor to the next.

So where should your weight be distributed, from heel to toe, at address in golf, and why?

It is true that this position is athletic in other sports. If you were a baseball shortstop, you would need to be ready to move in any direction at a moment's notice.

The same applies to a basketball player or a linebacker — you do not know which direction you are going to need to move, and you need to be able to react instantly.
