Rep Power: 39 | | | Well that Im not to sure of. 1 handed pushups are impressive though. I would guess that it would however also standing on poles with one foot. Walking a beam as many gymnists do. Basically if you want to improve overall balance for more than just the 1 arm pushups I'd recomend thinking gymnastics/acrobatics |

Rep Power: 54 | | | It's not necessarily balance that's your problem.
It could just simply be upper body strength period.
Try some weighted pushups, and work on isolation exercises for your arms, shoulders, and chest.

Pavel's Naked Warrior covers one armed push-ups very well.
