I notice that my head is lifting at impact (presumably to make room for arms and club). Is that caused by a mistake at address? Any ideas....I couldn't upload videos on youtube or facebook so this is the only thing I can say.

I managed to upload the video on metacafe although it's not very bright.
(I did my best but I have no movie editing skills)

As Steven Wright would probably say: "You´re lifting your head because you are looking up"

Please don´t swing while I´m talking !!

You make room for the arms/club to come down by shifting the hips forward (but your head stays fairly still) to start the downswing. Lifting can happen when golfers try to get extra leverage/power because they have a downswing that is dominated too much with the arms. The arms and hands need to get into the space (slot) created by the hip bump. Then, the turning of the hips and shoulders will whip the fairly passive arms (and hands) around and cause the wrists to unhinge at impact.

It appears as though your spine angle is changing quickly at or shortly after impact.....look how vertical your spine is immediately after impact. Imagine there is a cup of water on the base of your neck....don't spill it until well after impact....it isn't about keeping your head down....it is about keeping it level
