Jimmy Walker uses unusual head movement at impact to lead to better results [Golfweek]

Wait, what? Head still? Sounds familiar.  And I don't anything that unusual w/his head movement, maybe I'll need to rewatch the video.

Yes, it’s a golden rule in the game that the head should remain still, but that’s until impact. Walker said what Harmon is urging him to do is move his head upward with his shoulder turn after striking the ball. Now if you’re thinking it sounds different, take note that students of the swing will remember that David Duval did similarly — and he was a pretty good talent.

Just from the description you posted I think the head movement is more of the rotation of the head, not necessarily moving the head "up" We know it's fine for the head to have some up/down movement and the Walker is also probably describing a feel.

Looking at that swing, he obviously owns Key #1.

That is also a great bit of imagery showing how still his head actually stays from address through impact....thx
