Head behind the ball

[IrishGolfer]

I watched a video in the last few days. The instructor placed a small bit of 2x4 beside the ball. The top bit was painted white and the sides were painted yellow. The idea is to see the yellow all the way through the (driver) swing. In other words, keep your head behind the ball.

I've adapted it by putting the ball logo facing the clubface. And then I try to keep seeing the logo right throughout the swing. If my head drifts forward I lose sight of the logo. Great for staying behind the ball and keeping my head steady. That's my swing thought anyway and I've been hitting it really well, especially with the driver.

Worth a try. You're welcome!

Good advice, I'll put it in play!
