Keep Your Head Still...True or False.

Came across this the other day. I was quite intrigued.

You are allowed to move your head sideways during your golf swing by up to 4-6 inches.

Go on I’m listening…

Consider skipping a stone on water. As your body and arms move back so too will your head. Weight is transferred on to the inside of the right foot. If it should go on to the outside of the right foot then you are swaying and would find great difficulty in throwing the stone.

Now try throwing some golf balls on the practice ground and you’ll find that the act of throwing comes easy and natural to you. Did you have to consciously think about the transference of weight back on to the left foot before you released the ball?

Now keep that action of stone throwing and transfer it to your 8 iron. Notice how you transferred your weight on the back throw? It should feel the same as you swing your club back the only difference is, you’ll be using both hands to control the swing and your shoulders will naturally turn. Most important though, you must keep your eyes fixed on the ball.

Alternate between throwing the ball and the swinging of the club. Repeat this exercise on a regular period to groove a powerful repetitive swing.
Lateral movement of the head is allowed whilst still looking at the ball. Bobbing of the head up and down is not.


Mmmmmmm……I’ll keep that in mind.
