Since I struggle with my head falling away from the target in the downswing. Could I do the same thing, but on the right side of my head?

Take a LOT of time and practice to stop moving your head. I'm still working on it after countless hours. It took feeling like I was moving it in 3 different ways for it to actually stay more "still". :-D

My key #1 is terrible - I've tried a million times using a camera to not move my head on the BS. I kind of gave up. I blame SnT a little, but mostly me.

I'm sure it's different for everyone, but for me...it took the feel of bringing my head back away from the ball, bringing it back away from the target, and rotating it left to keep it still on the backswing. And it's still a big-time work in progress.

Strive for progress not perfection...

I'll be taking a lesson with a 5SK pro soon - will bring it up or he may bring it up for me, ha ha. I move it a little on the BS and it's an okay amount, not too much, but for the life of me cannot keep it from not going back at all on the BS - that's the part I gave up on.

Sure!

Obviously don't just "shove" the head forward, arms lower as you transfer and open up.

Something that helped, and is still helping me keeping my noggin steady is, to look at the ball with my left eye more so than with both eyes (rhp) and to be sure to see the ball being hit with my left eye, that way my tendency to look up is reduced also. BTW, I'm left eye dominate. A steady head has been a thorn in my side for awhile now, but it's getting much better... :-D

Great video @mvmac I got two questions. 1. Is it a good feel to just feel like your trail hip moves straight behind you, away from the target line rather than just sliding parallel down the target line? 2. When I do this and get a good center hip turn I feel like I'm doing something wrong in the downswing. I feel like I'm going to fall over on my thru swing, like I slid too far forward. Does this make sense?

Sorry for the delay, been traveling and haven't had internet for 3 days.

1. The feel that's good is the one that helps you accomplish the piece for the drill. Some feel like the left hip stays forward, some feel like the tailbone moves slightly towards the target, some feel like the right hip moves around and up.

2. If you slide the hips while keeping the head steady, you won't fall over. Sounds like your upper center may be translating forward on the downswing.

Wow!!! what an eye opener that video was...During the last part, where the guy with the driver was to steep, and how he had to sort of fight to get to the ball, and a push was the result..Now I can see why I was swinging the same way. Lately my swing path has been to steep, don't know why , but I'm trying to fix that, and this video, Finally helped me to see what I was doing wrong, because when I hit driver, I always seemed like I was having to fight to get the club face to hit the ball.

Thanks a Bunch for posting this Erik...I'll come back and review it from time to time.. :beer:

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      God I hate when golf can’t give me n+1 day of success. Drives me up the wall when my body is, FU! Im like, ok let’s check the vid. Yep too much turn, arms getting behind me. Ok, I work on that. Get the feel back for a shorter swing. Confirm with video. Then going back to arms down stuff.  Arms down, nope it’s hands out towards the ball. Oh, you get arms down better. Guess what, you don’t get to rotate and you hit 6 inches behind the ball. Yay!  Maybe I should have walked off the range and not wasted my time. I wish there was a body alert system when it’s going to a SOB for the day. 😭 OK rant over, I’ll be back at this tomorrow.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By GolfLug · Posted

      I mean there has to be some thought. For eg., something like 'soft knees and wrists' at set up and maybe a dynamic 'left arm to chin' as a trigger to start DS. I have these one or two anchor thoughts and have served me well. In fact, my wildest swings are the one where I have no thoughts or if I forget to walk thru my anchor thoughts. In contrast my best rounds are where I am consistent with the anchor thoughts.    OTOH, if I am running my entire half hour lesson (hypothetical) with some pro that I had last Saturday or whatever before every swing then I'm probably in trouble before I even get over the ball.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      By iacas · Posted

      Two bits. Bit 1 The NCAA's appeal of Brendan Sorsby being granted a temporary injunction will not be heard until February, so there will be nothing to prevent Sorsby from playing the full season and potential CFP.  Bit 2 The Big Ten Conference will hold a meeting and is expected to ban all of its athletic programs from playing Texas Tech in the regular season. Georgia has done the same. The SEC will meet to consider a similar ban. Fellow Big 12 members TCU and Kansas State are spearheading a similar ban, but the conference charter might not allow it. Meanwhile, Big 12 athletic directors are meeting this week to explore what options the conference might have.

      No, but I'm also in disagreement that golfers have no thoughts over the golf ball, and/or don't ever think I've met someone I truly believe is thinking nothing but "target" or something on most shots.
