Please don't work on weight shift and don't work on balance. Weight shift and balance are the results of a good swing, not the cause.

If you are off balance after you contact the ball, it is because of something that you did before you contacted the ball.

If you need to do a drill, I think it could be helpful to hit balls with your feet together. This isn't so much to practice balance and weight shift, but more to practice swinging the club correctly. If you swing the club correctly, your weight shift will happen perfectly and you will be balanced. Hitting balls with your feet together helps you feel what that is like. Then when you take your normal stance, try to replicate that feel.

Could you go into a little more detail about "swinging the club correctly"? Sorry, but I'm not sure what you mean by that. I am a heavy technique guy and think with the right technique, you can do almost anything. By correctly, do you mean, controlled, arms straight when they need to be, and a proper follow through? Or is there something else I am missing?

As far as your daughter is concerned, get her a new instructor.

lol. The thing is, her instructor last week pointed out that she is lacking balance. She is in a JR golf program and the biggest problem we are having with the different programs she is in is that she is getting different advice from different instructors. I just try and work with her between clinics. The head guy, who is doing a terrific job, said we needed to improve balance, so I thought I'd ask you knowledgeable fellows.
