But if you are in balance you have much more chance of getting that lag pressure delivered-effortless power.
Yes, I agree it feels easy "effortless power" type thing... but what i am saying is that rather than just "Being in balance"...actually use BALANCE TO DRIVE your swing.

Balance is an engine...a key part of your brain...always listening to your body and having rapid message pathways back to your body to make it stay in balance...even when your steady state balance is under attack from variable forces ( as in golf swing) ... your balance centre is already connected to all the bits of the body it needs to control....it will do the work if you focus on force and balance...

A steady lower body, correct footwork etc are results of using balance to drive/power your swing....the problem is that golf is being taught by people who teach the result ( stable lower body) rather than teach the cause which is using your in-built balance engine to create the results...

The balance engine needs to be educated to the task...and that is understanding the forces and orientation required in a G.O.L.F. stroke. Teach forces and orientation and imperatives...

Balance DRIVES.... not balance IS...

Yes, i have been re-reading Shivas Irons' thoughts recently...

No, I have not been using any illegal and/or prescription medication...

But the doors of perception have been smashed wide open...

Just my 2 cents...please take with salt as required...
