What are we checking for? I view balance from the perspective of an alignment i.e. tripod. I am sure there are more complete definitions. I have also noticed that the only way I can stand on a crate (like Mr. Doyle does) is to keep my head between my feet. I used to work on a "steady head" , but it was was seldom a centered head. Balance is indeed essentially without it there is little chance of a centered arc for impact etc.

I have a "Dynamic Balance System" similar to the one at PGA Learning Center.
It is very interesting to see the wide variety of patterns that appear using this system.
Everyone starts out with what is identified as their signature and depending on what changes might need to be made can begin to see a change or improvement to their dynamic balance. These changes come about as their awareness of what is causing the imbalance is dealt with and observed on the screen.
I have a library of some tour players patterns and some of them appear to be out of balance but are able somehow to repeat.
