M5 Coaching Series-Use Your Feet And Dynamic Balance
5m

The M5 Coaching Series highlights the importance of dynamic movement and balance in your golf swing, dispelling the myth that feet should remain static during play. Mike Malaska encourages golfers to embrace movement, just like in other sports such as baseball, tennis, and bowling, where footwork plays a critical role in fluidity and power. Practicing with a step-back, step-forward motion can help develop better body mechanics and improve swing transitions.

Dynamic balance allows your feet to naturally adjust within your shoes, facilitating proper force distribution and maintaining stability throughout the swing. Overly static feet can lead to an over-reliance on the upper body, resulting in inefficient motion and poor control. Instead, golfers should learn to minimize unnecessary foot movement while still allowing for natural dynamics to support the swing.

Mike emphasizes that watching professional golfers reveals the importance of foot movement in achieving balance and power. By incorporating dynamic footwork into practice sessions, players can achieve smoother transitions, better timing, and greater consistency in their swing.
