My Swing (jrmy)

[jrmy]

I had a friend video my drive finally to check my head movement (I've been slightly hooking the ball recently). Is it normal for my head to move during the swing but come back to original location on impact?

No it is not normal or recommended.

Here is the video, sorry for the terrible iPhone quality.  I'm also using a Regular flex driver, but after watching this in slow motion I think I may need to move up to stiff because there seems to be a lot of bend.  Any suggestions?

Looks like I posted this in the wrong section, I'm sorry, could a mod please move the thread?

What happens is that if you move your head you will have to make compensations to hit the ground at the right spot and most definitly you will hit the ball inconsistently. If the head move backwards during downswing the lowpoint of the arc the clubhead is travelling on move backwards and you will be more likely to hit a fat shot, if the opposite occours you will move the lowpoint further forward and you will lose loft contact will be better but the ballflight will be lower. Steady head is one of the most important things in golf I would say.

See this thread regarding your shaft. You may or may not need to change it but what you're seeing isn't real.
