Help! Falling off the ball

[gh09]

Does anybody have any advice how to stop myself falling off the ball and trying to keep still after playing a shot, especially with the driver I just seem to have no balance at all, any tips or advice would be much appreciated, thanks Gary

If your unbalancing yourself you must really be trying to leather the ball. Slow things down a bit

How wide is your stance?

Maybe just a bit wider than shoulder length bob,(I'm standing in the canteen at work trying to do my set up everybody looking at me like I've got 2 heads ha) and as for trying to hit it too hard you could be right maybe off the driver but not my irons but it still happens sometimes thanks for your replys

It sounds as if you're trying to help the ball into the air by leaning back into the shot. Tilting your body away from the target wont help.
Let the loft of the club get the ball airborne and try and finish up on your right toe at the end of the swing (right handers)

I sometimes feel myself falling forwards after the shot and realise I had my weight on the balls of my feet. Similarly you don't want your weight on your heels at address either.
