If you look at Retief now he barely moves his head... I'd hate my dad for life for that one though...
BTW, keeping my head still does not work for me, because I find it makes me keep all my weight on the left side going back - a classic reverse pivot move. |
This would indicate that you have your head set too far forward at address. I venture a guess that you move your head back during the backswing (duh...), and are moving it back to where it should actually be at address.
The problem with moving the head around during the swing is multifold. (A)Your head is heavy. It'll pull your body around with it. (B)Moving the head also changes the plane of your swing. You don't want to do this, as it introduces variables into the swing. (C)Per above, you don't want to rely on in-swing adjustments and compensations to make good contact.
One should keep their head steady throughout the swing. Grazo, I would personally take care of anything at address that keeps me from doing so. But that's JMHO. Take care and hit 'em straight.
