How to perfect the Snead Squat?

[Kevin18]

Hello,

Im trying to get the famous "Snead Squat." I tried it at the range, and it hit almost every single club straight, but i feel like my head is all over the place and I'm afraid I'll hit it fat. How do I do this so my head isn't bobbing around everywhere? Drills would be nice.
Thanks so much and may god bless you all! ^_^

Pay attention to shoulder tilt on the backswing.  It's easier to squat and hit the ball solid if your shoulder line points more at the ball at the top.  You want to stay centered and get pressure hard into your left foot by impact, but that doesn't mean don't feel like you aren't loading your right leg some on the backswing.  I like the feeling that I'm sinking into my right leg on my backswing and getting the left shoulder and left knee working down and towards the target on the transition while my head stays fixed in space.  Don't let the left shoulder rise to quickly.  You are going to flip it if you do.  Get the shoulders turning in a circle that points at the ball.  Let the left knee work towards the target, then extend the belt buckle towards the target.  The hip slide thread on this site is great info as well.
