Golf experts do agree on something. And that is the need to maintain your balance to ensure a good stroke. Nothing to it, you may think to yourself. But anyone will tell you that it can be very, very difficult and next to impossible if your arm and shoulder muscles are stiff and you're holding on to your club as if your life depended on it.
Usually, a novice would be advised by his instructor to go easy on the swing. It may look good (in your concept) if you're hitting the golf ball like you're trying to turn a C.C. Sabathia pitch into a home run, but chances are you wouldn't connect - smooth and easy gets the ball far, even if it may not look that way at first. If you're balanced, you have more freedom when hitting the ball.
You want to keep your head in one spot, your eyes on the ball clearly. Steadiness is important if you want a better view of the ball. When trying to stay balanced, this is all you need to keep in mind. Without the proper steadiness, you'll end up missing your shot dramatically as you wouldn't be able to see the ball properly. It is important to leave your head at the same position from the point in which you started.
When trying to maintain balance, you wouldn't be able to achieve that by being stiff. Your head is sure to move if your muscles are tensed up all the time.
If you can spend some time looking at yourself in the mirror as you swing, you'll notice that muscle relaxation is key to keeping your head still. Everyone has their own set of muscles. So you have to work out some things for yourself. But always start with the foundation of keeping your head in one position. Not only do you have a better eye-view of the ball, this would allow you to flick your wrists with perfect timing.
Just by keeping your head perfectly still you'll correct a lot of faults. This would include having the right grip on your club, which could also be the result of moving your head. And in effect, your follow-through will also benefit from this act of keeping your head steady.
If your mind is concentrated on keeping your balance and keeping your head still, you won't overswing or jerk your club away. You won't put forth too much effort forth at any one point. You won't be stiff and you'll have a smooth, even rhythm to your swing and a nice finish.
Balance really is the cure-all for many faults of golf. It takes time before you see improvement, so be patient. All the best professionals started somewhere, and that was with the foundation of maintaining the head in one position and keeping an eye on the ball.
