I received coaching at a junior program in Sweden and by 14 I got serious about being a pro. Glenn: What is the secret to the golf swing? Niclas: The swing is the same for the last 50 years. The secret is sound basics, fundamentals and mechanics. Glenn: What do you work on during practice sessions? Niclas: One of the basics I always work on is balance. My driver speed is 115 mph. Balance is key to control. Glenn: What is your thinking when you are under pressure? Niclas: Keep everything positive, focus on your target and, for me, I want to be aggressive under pressure. Glenn: Any balance tips? Niclas: Think about making a full swing. Try not to stop short on the follow-through. Glenn Monday is a Los Angeles-based teaching pro and author of "Know Your Swing."
