I have an issue with my head and upper body moving forward(toward the target) during the swing. Looking for drills and tips to keep the head steady and have the proper axis tilt. Thanks.

1. Put a long stick, two shafts taped together, etc. together. Stick it in the ground outside the golf ball, angled over your left ear, don't push against it on the downswing.

2. Practice swinging against a wall, like a doorjamb. Hips go forward as they turn, head can't because it's inside the doorjamb.

3. Put a board, like a 2 x 4, between your feet. Paint one side one color and the other side another color if you can. During the backswing, keep the board pretty well centered so you don't see either side, and on the downswing, TRY to see the back side (but don't see the front side). To keep hitting the ball well you'll need to get the hips forward without the head going forward.

Very nIce, I'll try one of these ideas. I need to develop a better feel for the correct move, i.e. head sort of hanging back as the hips turn and move towards the target. I do it sometimes but not consistently enough.
