I have consistent problems with falling away following ball contact. I spin out, finishing with my weight on my trail heel. I don’t have this problem with irons, just the driver. What can I work on to increase stability and balance after striking the ball? Thanks.

What color of band (color I understand signifies the resistance) would be appropriate for a 71 year old male.

Tee up your thoughts here...

If you search for “resistance bands” on amazon, they often come in a set of 5 bands at varying resistances for about $10. I mention this because I’m not sure everyone uses standard colors to represent specific resistances. Another tip: Resistance bands typically come in two types: One is thick and narrow; the other is almost paper thin and wide. The one Aimee uses is the paper thin and wide type.

@ariel o.

Thank you Ariel for explaining that in detail! I really appreciate you taking the time to help clarify it for everyone 🙌
You’re absolutely right. Resistance band colors aren’t standardized across brands, so the actual resistance level can vary. And yes — I use the thinner, wider style band (the more “paper-thin” type), not the thick loop version.
Thanks again for helping out here! 👏

Great question Larry!
I personally use a very light resistance band — the lightest one in most sets. I would recommend starting with a light band as well. The goal is control and stability, not strength or strain.
You should be able to move smoothly without feeling like you’re fighting the band. If it feels too difficult, it’s too strong. Start light and focus on good movement quality 👍
