I’ve had several lessons in person and even a few online where the instructor was trying to get me to rotate my hips more.  I would be told to feel pressure on my left foot into the ground etc. I’ve also had issues with my head moving forward causing over the top and shanks.  So when I’ve been told to shift my weight like this, I would be prone to move my head forward and hitting shanks.  Most recently I’m shanking again and hitting it all over the face, hitting it fat etc, but my head is staying back.  I notice when I shift my weight it’s going out to the toe, which is putting the heel closer to the ball. 

Now my question.  I found that if I take a half swing and pause, keeping my shoulders closed, then feel like I let my weight go on my left heel, with nothing else moving, I hit it solid and in the center.  However doing this move, my head still goes forward some but not so much it’s opening up my upper body causing over the top. Is this wrong?  My thought process was if it goes forward some it’s fine as long as I’m not putting the heel of the club closer to the ball. 
 

I read iacas’s thread on the hips continually shifting to the target albeit with rotation. In those examples, it looks like their heads aren’t moving much forward 


Hello! To really get solid advice I’d recommend you start a swing thread in the ‘Members Swings’ topic. We all know feel ain’t real with golf so it’s essentially we can see what you’re doing as well as what you think you’re doing. Cheers.

I have one.  I guess I’ll have to post a video there.
