There is a golf stream on YouTube that discusses "reactive" golf. He talked about what balance is, which he defined as the body's anticipation of a future action.
Who among us has not found ourselves falling forward or backward from a massive hit? Usually the driver of course -- the swing is longer, the club longer and there is more momentum generated that has to be absorbed somewhere.
If you know where the swing is going to move you, you can brace and prepare for it. Thus having a better platform to swat the ball and be in balance at the end of the effort.
The other stray thought that occurred to me today was this: take the sport of tennis. The further you want to hit the ball, the harder you swing. But golf with the different length of clubs does not fit this model. Which makes some of the earlier sports habits not useful for the golf swing.
