Poor Balance = Loss of Distance

By having poor balance at address, you’ll lose power. Take your normal stance, then imagine: if someone gave you a little push in the center of your back, or in the middle of your chest, would you fall over? What if someone tugged on the club—would you fall forward? If someone could easily push you over from behind (or pull you forward by tugging on the club), you have too much weight toward your toes; if someone can push you over from the front that means that you have too much weight on your heels. Take a solid athletic stance, with your weight evenly distributed on the balls of your feet. Staying in balance will lead to better rhythm, more consistent shot making and longer shots.
